yep conservationist here and you should not be cutting back any wood or braken. its ok to clip some parts that may overhang a path and hurt you or other users, but you must NOT dig what you need to do is wait untill all that stuff has dies back, then you can see the defined footways and the natural humps and bumps formed. using your feet and a stick you can brush away to make a new path, then its just making sure its well used to break it in. land registry office - local council, councils are more likely the owners if its like its never used etc etc, its because its under wildlife management and allowed to coppice up

I've decided to strip the orange anodised aluminium parts back to their former glory. I wasn't feeling the metallic burnt orange look

Micro crawler wheels are 8mm hex but the 1/24 SCT wheels are indeed the same type of fitting. Anyway just ordered these from MS so with any luck they'll arrive tomorrow. Cheap enough for the set of 4. Red and chrome was the only colour in stock but rings are easily repainted. John

Firstly, twisted wire connections are not good (as you have found out - the wires could have shorted together and blown your charger). Should be soldered and protected by heat shrink, or better still, no joins at all. Simply buy the appropriate (Tamiya) connector on Ebay and solder it to your "bare" wires. As to which wire goes where, this is a little problematical. Convention suggests that the white line denotes negative (black) so the other would be positive and connect to red BUT, you can't be sure of this, depending on what that black twin wire is connected to and whether original. You really need a multi meter to check the polarities, but I bet you haven't got one! To my mind, essential for this game, but amazing how many people don't have them - you can get a cheap one which would be perfectly OK for jobs like this for a fiver (or even less) if you shop around and probably less than a months rent on your Iphone - which isn't essential - you could get a half decent meter - which is! If your charger has reverse polarity protection, it wouldn't matter if you connected them the wrong way round - except it wouldn't work; if it hasn't, then its risky to re-connect them without checking polarities first - could damage your charger and/or battery.

5000mah 40C 2s Turnigy ROAR spec is 135mm long by 45mm wide and 25mm deep just measured one.

I'm still undecided, I do like the SCT look, but also really liking the caged look. Might get some lexan and make some panels and see what I think after that

15mph is a crawler. Isn't it?

Keep saving and get the PMT, anything else is a compromise! As I've said a few times now, other than my 5ives's it's the best RC I've EVER owned and I've had a few!

We just dont want you getting into loads of grief for this. If its not too far,take some ramps instead of digging jumps.

Price on the clear spur gear cover?

Just scored that charger for

Just be careful, you've put pics up of a stump with a saw resting on it. Honestly making any change to land you don't own can put you in serious trouble.

Mmmmm,I assume it is your wood to do what you want with?

sorted..it worked!my hyper when it was nitro...

sorted it now. ..

Would love a bathroom floor like these [

Well I am short of a few bits at the moment but have got this far for now Samba exhaust Outerwears air filter prefilter DDM stiffer rear spring. 3700mah nimh for radio gear Switchblade kill switch Flysky GT3B radio gear Hopefully either tomorrow or the beginning of next week there will be a bit more to see.

for the amount of effort it might be better just to buy a new shell.

Are you going to post a build thread in the Tank section then? Sorry couldn't resist. John

What phone do you have? I make videos on my Note 4 in 1080p at 60fps then take screenshots from them, the results are excellent. If I'm taking photos I use Sports Mode (fast shutter speed)

The Micro Losi wheels attach in a similar way. The Micro Crawler wheels might fit?

Those wheels look awesome, they look similar in style to the Proline Desperados

Yep,exactly what I thought. Strange how they don't seem more popular.

lol...I used to b a wire twister.....might b quik n easy but not good in the long run..... .I can solder now tf!!

Thanks bud The quality of these hong nor's is fantastic especially for the price of them.When you compare them side by side to the Hpi ,Hobao,Losi And Kyosho rtr equivalents the x3 is an absolute bargain .

Sorry to dig up and old one but do you still have the spur?

Ill close this now as the issue appears to have been resolved. Please pm me when your items arrive or if you need any other help Thanks Dave

Diff oils changed to heavier wt ,New wheels/tyres fitted and she's ready for a bash at the weekend

Make a flat spot on the pin so the securing screw has a little more bite

First test run of the Scorpion and its modded CEN diff.

Good luck Mate Octane are a complete PITA to upgrade any thing to with the radio system. I know I have 2 of them. Do as rc Butcher says. Bundle up all your servo leads with cable ties and try insulating the receiver with aluminium tape.

Try to get the antenna above the spark plugs mate. Are you using the spectrum 4ch receiver they have a long antenna so it should be possible. It sounds really hit or miss using spectrum with 2 stroke. Lots of guys say they have no issue then alot say they do have issue. I have the dx4c but haven't tried my baja yet.

Got the chassis finished up and began the shell a few days ago, firstly laid a silver down, then over the top with matt lime green, looks pretty cool! The silvers for me to scotch down too to create a metal effect, so I can weather it properly. Going to get my sticker guy to make me some 'Tom's Garden Services' stickers made up with some corny bush trimming pun . To go with the workhorse theme I thought I'd add some ply lining.. I've left the springs for a few days to see how they'll settle with some weight on them, but the shackles still seem to over stretch themselves and lock out..

my RS5 T15 ready to go!

Picked it up yesterday as the q3 bored me.

Dear Traxxas, Make something new, you money grabbing turds! Tug.

Will the team chase cage go round that pipe andy?

ooh ooh,I'm proper excited.Been looking forward to this...

Looking forward to seeing the build photos and thoughts on this

I have an HPI Apache SC brushless if you're interested.....
