I was beside myself once. Didnt realise I was that fat and ugly. I turned my back on myself.

30.5cc is better than the 27.2cc mate go for it like Jeremy Clarkson says POWERRRRR (Post is solely to P off oho)

that an aldi special rotary tool?? i got the same one

have a look at rcmodelz

I had the same dilemma but I went for the Prostock. I've asked for opinions all over Facebook groups and forums and people always told me that the Prostock is bulletproof. It has enough power and it won't be harsh on your drivetrain. Others with 7hp+ engines kept telling me that these will cause my center driveshafts and outputs to wear out fast so Phatdad upgrades are a must sooner or later - they're not cheap either so keep that in mind

Jim, try not to use the 'c' word, keep that old argument in the petrol section where it belongs!

I would recommend radio race car international.

Whos this guy^^^^^ Lol Nice one lads, looks like you a lot more done today And the photos really look good too Thanks so much for the chat earlier on and good to meet a couple more of you 8-) If somebody had said a couple of months ago that within the space of 100 pages yous would have built a track....... Would you have believed them?? G

I'd love to see some replica BTCC body shells complete with decals The new BTCC Honda tourer would be awesome!

Well done mate!! You should be given a big gold medal from the queen for outstanding service to RC cars!! Like if you agree

Started off this morning waking up far to early ,and thinking despite the weather I'm gonna try and find the 1st boot sale of this year ,so off I trotted down to my favourite which had about a quarter of what is normally there in the height of the season,to be honest I was hoping to find a New bright hobby rc to rob the body off for a project as I've seen them before but never taken much notice of them. Within the 2nd aisle I came across this and nearly left it there as I thought it was a nitro at first,but once I'd realised what it was and that the price was definitely right I popped it in a tescos carrier bag and waddled on home with my swag in hand. Closer inspection revealed a 20 yr old Tamiya FF01 in near mint condition which only required some elbow grease and some soldering to have it back on its toes,I honestly believe this car has only had 1 battery at most through it since it was built as the chassis is virtually unmarked as is the BTCC flavoured Mondeo shell....anyway she's now running like a dream and the Acoms 27mhz radio gear is performing just as it should....now I have to decide whether to shelf queen it or sell it...I don't want to run it really outside as its just to nice. Here's some poor quality piccies

just brought my first hyper 7 with brushless conversion... should be here wed running HW 120a esc, savox wp servo and 2000kv motor

I had to google that to see what it looked like: My first proper rc was a Mardave Cobra electric 2wd buggy which my dad and I built together.

Buggy set-up is something I need to learn, which is what I'll be using this season for, then next season I'll be taking it a bit more serious and entering al the Scottish Offroad Championship rounds

I think you'll be impressed. You should see the way my Brushed Carnage goes on a 2s 2200mah pack. It's bonkers.

Not sure about temps just not too hot to touch I think.

i used to run a obr 30.5cc fm lr engine in my baja engine broke before the baja did.

Just finished painting up my Raptor. Was hoping it'd be a bit more of a sandy yellow but never mind. I fricking love my slash :-D

smash i want your bike!! might have to put it in on the wanted section and see if i can get one like yours mate

Cheers fella, I'm riding my first event in twenty years this weekend on her

it lowers the weight distribution and centre or gravity .

Not the postie but I just picked up some Mr M turnbuckles, Hostile MX extra hard rears, on Proline rims and Silverback beadlocks, HPI Dirt Buster Blocks, on Proline rims and Silverback beadlocks... Bargain price

This my am rig, it's a 2008 haro shift, pretty heavily upgraded though so all that's left of the original bike is the frame which I couldn't bare to part with because it rides so well.. Rock shox rc32 up front, monarch rear Nukeproof rims on ringle hubs and conti mountain king 2 rubber Sram x5 all round Truvativ hussefelt cranks with aerozine rings and fsa bashguard Crank brothers egg beaters Hayes stroker carbon brakes with floating rotors Fsa carbon bars.. Crank brothers kronolog dropper with a wtb volt perch on it.. Oh and a spank oozy stem and blackspire stinger.. I'll throw up a picture of my Norco runaround when I get five minutes..

Cheers it's for a mate I'll get back to you

is this going to turn weird again lol?

Just came across mmr largescale, why is there so many different hop ups lol,

Might be right too. Just looked at my manual & you were right. Spurs 79t & 80t The AKA tyres that you get with the kit are red dot. You can download the manual here too

Ordered me self the leopard they seem to have decent reviews

As above this how I do it

20% bigger wheels (apologies to anyone that can actually photoshop pics)

Thanks, I presume that's with the stock spur? Pretty sure I have a 22t 48dp pinion, will check when I get home.

I am going to be not helpfully in any way shape or form Get the 38

I get RRCI regularly. Agreed most can be accessed on the internet, but its always nice to have that magazine in your hands. Al.

Really nice video

Shaun, I'll post some pics soon. BJM, worked out awesome on the st1, done yet another st1 for my younger lad too, did the full conversion in a few hours on that one. The st1 is brutally good converted, awesome performer on bmx tracks etc

First thing I got to ask is ..... What didn't you like about the Baja, Losi 5ive, DBXL etc. They are quite different trucks to drive, and have different looks. Is it a cosmetic thing...or is it something else? The HPI Baja comes in stadium truck ( 5T) and Short Course ( 5SC) which are all the same underneath. If you are looking for a Monster Truck kind of thing, then there is the Maverick Blackout...and the FG Monster...and that's about it. There is a Stadium version of the Maverick...and of the FG as well. I got fed up looking for a truck I liked, so ended up building my own!

The whole "truck ish truggy ish" thing. You looking for something down this route? http://www.rcgeeks.co.uk/maverick-blackout-st-stadium-truck.html&currency=GBP&language=en?gclid=CLSh9YXJzL0CFZQZtAodgjgAcQ

nice work even if it doesn't look scale. the orange spit of flame would have been better. however, if you ever make a drag racer, that would look perfect on one of them.

Painted the Focus shell for my sprint2 ..

maybe you should use the search button!! and ironically i was the only one to give you an actual answer, that's gratitude for you

Sounds good =] Here's a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYbNcBGHlu8

You can give it away to me... Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

My 16 year old cannondale

Diff out time, as you have ruled out all other moving parts in the drive train. Could be a failed bearing, could be something else entirely....get spannering, you don't have to entirely strip the back end out to remove the diff either

Carry on

Not just non rc kids giving hassle, was out with my lad, he was driving back from the woods with his Dingo when we saw two older teens with rc's. We wandered over to have a natter as you do when started ripping the pee out of my lad (10yrs) because his car was so slow and has a wwf figure driving it, driving round his spinning dust at it and us. I said to the lads to give it a rest and got a mouthful of abuse about getting a 'proper rc', much like their scale speed of 245mph, quickest you can get mate type of buggies.(think Argos meets Halfords type!) OK lads I said you win, we'll go. Off home we raced and were back to the park within a few minutes, if these were younger kids I wouldn't have done what we did. Out came the savvy XL on 6s and the lad had a 3 in his slash.... Coooeee boys, can we play now? Me and junior then thoroughly enjoyed ourselves toying with the muppets! Proud about it....YES!

Let's face it, he's just lowered it to make it look cool and made it "RAT LOOK" can anyone see a VW badge on it?

The current owner should be served with a court injunction forbidding the ownership of any rc.
