Ah man you've got problems^

No more cage

This has taken me ages, and also ensured I have thick skin when turning up at a club to race instead of my TRF418 http://www.thercracer.com/2014/08/tamiya-tt02-guide-mods-tuning-and-tips.html Lots there, hope you like it.

Just finished doing the conversion on a nitro truggy using the conversion kit, spent a lot of new parts to freshen it up aswell.

Possibly mate will see how things pan out

whickhammmmmmmmmmmmmmmm lol, tomorrow?

Well a rather productive day for me, got lots more stuff painted (yesterday and today) managed to mount all my LEDs on the 8x8 and actually got them working. May not sound much to some people but to someone like me who isn't usually interested in LEDs and doesn't understand control boards and all that stuff, I feel quite proud

You wanna try sending him some diff shims mate, I can't work out if there's an early morning dogging session organised, or a fight.

welcome mate you will have fun and meet new friends if you need help just post just shoot away

He must be there lol.

Just rolling is normally the first to reply lol

Its not nitro law but great as a rough guide.

Happy days mate :-)

Well I don't know if this is a good thing or bad ;-), talking to my other half about getting the size of our garden as low maintenance as possible she said why don't you build the tank and crawler track to nearly the top of the garden put weed suppressor down and build on top of that !.well I paced it out and it's big but how am I going to fill that space !!!.here is the pics of how much I have to play with Now the hard work of planning what to do !!!

For my lad when he started rc I drilled a tiny hole behind the trigger and inserted a small screw which is obviously adjustable and works great, this is assuming you don't have EPA

What fuel are you using? I would not imagine anything inside the engine is warped, if it still has compression then it should work. I expect there is a carb. blockage or problem....or a fuel supply problem.

Front and rear alloy shock tower braces, front and rear alloy bumpers (finished in Baja orange ) and a clone Dominator V2 silenced pipe......cant wait to get everything screwed on and take her for a blast......probs be tomorrow now though

I'm running my mad monkey with a 10,5 t brushless setup and no gears have stripped yet. Admitted i don't runt it that much but still it has not stripped yet. I had most of my problems with the shocks and they are now replaced. For a 2wd 50

Sold to me a while ago I'm afraid .

Ok i've just bought a Losi mini 8 to get the ball rolling. All ive got to do with this is fit my receiver. Its got a few hop ups etc etc. I've also bought a KF for the 2wd buggy class but i need to sort the electrics for this. None of my 8th scale stuff fits :( I'm bidding on something vintage but i missed a perfect re re Gold Tub the other day So i will have 2 cars for next week, nothing for tonight but 1 will be fully running come next Thursday

Hi you have reached the 110 tamiya helpline all our customer service people are busy at this time , but will answer when the can be bothered to press 1 for problem parts and missing digits press 2 for how to charge your lipo and/or set fire to your house press 3 for the holiday buggy rehab programme if you are calling about an RC addiction please close the browser and take 3 ginster pies a day for two weeks

just a thought,. if it's from alibaba stay away. Otherwise research your initial seller extensively. You could always chop em up and make your money that way which will be an easy work around to warrenty claims albeit at the expense of your time listing everything.

I can see a few issues right off the bat. First off, retail on one of these is

Both stunning and great work well done . Thanks.

I've got a separate end point adjuster unit that just fits in between the servo lead and the receiver that I have no use for. PM me with your address and I'll pop it in the post. John

There might be somewhere where there's a few little rheostats you can adjust with a small screwdriver - like the old Losi controllers. Never know. Al.

no just stick something to the grip so you can't pull the trigger all the way

Easiest way of restricting the speed is reducing the EPA (End point Adjustment) or travel of the throttle input. You should be able to do this on the majority of Transmitters Where normally It would be 100% you can change it to say 50% so the transmitters full throttle input by the user is only transfered as 50% to the RC car goh...... Vr5fx beat me to it lmao

You can modify the EPA (end point adjustment) on the transmitter, this sets the maximum throttle and/or reverse, if you can't find it, stick some folded card under the trigger (using tape), easily removed and adjusted to requirements.

You're not kidding, but they've got the look. I used carbon fibre tube with threaded rod to make my steering linkages. The stock rod for the linkages may work but look just a bit anaemic. John

I may have one. I'll have a look when I get out of bed...

awesome vid pal

Not April already is it?

.... and the proof .... http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/27871-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/27874-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/27877-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/27875-/ I've used different rods, and RC4WD rod ends - took a bit of manipulating - but they fit perfectly and from maximum height to full compression, the tie rods never touch the links. Al.

NEW SHOES (and sorted the clutch bell bearing issues)!!!!!

So impatient.lol No shocks or rear diff yet as im waiting for oil. It builds sooooo nice

That's a great video, keep up the drifting!

What's next then Rav?

$799 mrp and $119 for the back bit .... pop up gazebo

Mission accomplished thanks to 'saviown'. After a quick test run on my local test track, also known as 'the street' My initial impressions are- 1, it's way too big 2, it's way too heavy 3, it doesn't handle that well 4,not that quick. Over all. I flippin love it!!!! Thanks for the input guys.

You aint gonna being doing a lot if you keep stock tx as its an all in one receiver and speed controller (esc)! If you are gonna go brushless then it will need: Motor, esc http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=20995 receiver and transmitter: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__31671__HobbyKing_HK_GT2B_3CH_2_4GHz_Transmitter_and_Receiver_w_Rechargable_Li_ion_Battery.html batteries: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=29023 and charger http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__7028__Turnigy_Accucel_6_50W_6A_Balancer_Charger_w_accessories.html A servo, servo mount, motor pinion etcetc Its not an easy changeover. But if your gonna go for it, its worth it!!! and if you push it too hard your gonna need, diffs, dogbones and centre axle. Suspension wise you need I tried the 3 racing ones but they leak! Ive just got some from hobbyking ready to test: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=19870

Check out my tyre balloning vid:
