Great prizes and it's possible even for someone like me who never wins anything to actually win. John

Sorry Mr forum staff Congratulations on the promotion BTW.

Pictures as promised. I have a few more to post when forum is a bit more co operative.

Finally fitted the air and mud guards on the tekno. One day this will get dirty.

If it's the direction I'm thinking/guessing, the bodies look great... Mine arrived Friday.. Sorting the painting out for Nige and mine at the moment. I'm going to do a 'build' thread soon!

I'd never have my LVC cutting at storage, that's half my runtime still sat in the pack. I aim for 3.4, no lower. My packs will have anywhere from 5% to 10% left in them. That's low, but it does no harm. Just don't leave them overnight like that! Start with your LVC set high, and work downwards until you find a cut-off that suits. A cell checker is useful, the ones that give an actual percentage left in the pack.

Hi guys, We are a bashing group based in the West Midlands. We arrange a bash nearly every week in various locations across the West Midlands so I'm sure that some of you will be close enough to join us for at least some of them. Mostly we run large scale cars but we are inclusive of anyone who wants to join us Our Facebook group can be found here https://www.facebook.com/groups/641420032659480/ I will aim to put up details of each weeks bash with a bit more notice than today's bit anyone who wants to come along is more than welcome.

hi guys just got myself a revo 2.5 and at first i didnt want it but i was bored yesterday so i thought i would try it out and i loved it straight away. easy to start and its a small monster truck which is more ideal as its not too heavy or big. i was originally going to get the newer model savage but instead i got this thinking it was in good condition, how wrong was i? i have checked ebay but not really much parts in there so just wondered where would you all go to get parts for this truck?

Retired now looking for new hobby, getting back into rc, dug out the old Mardave Marauder and looking to get running again. looking for parts in wanted section. Hope to learn to fly,going to buy a trainer with safe tech before committing to buy a large scale war bird.

Yeah i did and its a pig .finaly got it done but had to bend the mount bracket .not exactly a bolt on job .looks well tho

they will run on a uneven surface. but i don't think the chassis will have a lone life. i remember my tamiya ones after a few runs the screw heads were in very bad shape. lol

Lol... Yep that sounds like pretty good Dad material to be fair

What do you mean now?![emoji23][emoji23] always have been. I ride motorcycles shoot gun and run RC's course I am[emoji23][emoji23]

Very nice The additional hopups and special featured parts make all the difference over a standard TT-02 chassis, stands out from the rest. What body did you go for? Wasn't keen on the stock wheels myself so went for some dish wheels, suit the body much better imo.

It would appear not, but I'm sure there are some members on here that have F1 style cars.

Good find Todd..... Free sweet (boiled and pre-sucked) to anyone who can beat that deal

Done a bit more this evening waiting on body and bullet connectors to arrive and a servo cause had to chuck the one I brought for it in the losi and it's too much effort to take it back out. I kinda messed up on the wheels. Me and tyre glue have never got along but don't matter cause the rims won't match the body I ordered anyway. So these wheels can be bashers. Its a realy simple build in my opinion but fun makes a change to use a screwdriver from a hex driver. Went with the stock settings long wheel Base and low centre of gravity. And hard suspension. Hopefully parts be here this week. I'm away with work till Wednesday so probz get it finished for Thurs and take it to Halfords car park run some packs through it. Also went with xt60 connectors for a change from deans. Might swap on all cars if I like them.

Addicted to the smell of GT85 now

Just waiting for some front shafts for Liam's Slash, rwd on 3s is a bit much!

The double-tap reverse is a safety feature built into the speed controller and is perfectly normal. It places a lot of stress on the drivetrain going straight from full forward to full reverse, so to save your drivetrain the ESC forces you to brake first. With the servo horn removed, does the servo go both ways? If not, we might need to look at your radio settings.

If it's still there come Friday I'll be taking this!

jennys rc dollar hobbies far easier and cheaper on ebay.com.

I have the option DHawk lower cartridges for the X-Maxx I've started building and had similar problems getting the O-rings on the shaft properly without shearing them. For these there is a pronounced 'shoulder' from threaded part to main shaft. I had them soaking in oil for a few days and reckon its sorted. The problem with the DHawks is different to here, in that there's an alloy 'lock down' collar with hollow hex fitting. Needs a hollow hex the right size to do properly with the O-rings over the shaft shoulder ... used the 'blade screwdriver' technique to 'gently squish' the O-rings. Al.

GT85 every time!!! Best place for WD40 is in the nearest bin!!!

That cage is the Team Chase Baja 5t/5SC cage. They are extremely tough and very well made. That is all.

It isn't that direction H as I have the remaining shell..... Who will be the painter though???

Check EBay for gt85, ordered 12 cans last night for 29 quid, or £2.31 per can

Mine wears a Castrol Honda Civic shell. Looking forward to seeing how your Mondeo shell comes out!

That was all I was asking, You hear it so many times, Someone builds an all singing all dancing car, And the next thing you know, They've sold in, And that's that. And I do understand why, 150 quid for that bit, 200 quid for that bit, And before you know it your at 3 grand, Then you take it out and bash it for half a day, Now it's worth 2 grand, That's a lot of money for a few hours fun, So I get why some people sweat at the thought and just sell it on, But some don't, And that's what I was asking.

ahh...no worries...not sure I have any other 14mm hex ones....I`ll chk tomorrow...got way to many sets of bloody wheels here tbh....

So this is were I'm at. Enjoying the build weird using normal screws instead of hex heads. Instructions are fairly straight forward. Can't wait to run it

If that is the case does it matter? some people build the best they can then shelf it or sell it on its all part of the hobby, everybody's different how they play with there toys!!

The chaps were impressed with all tyres I got from you and said its what they use on their buggys. Apparently the dboots nanobytes can offer too much grip and needs setup changes. It's just a case of what works best for your driving style

Awesome!!!

Price drop £175

I'm going to keep the motor as it seems to be ok. I will use the esc until my max5 gets here. As for motor temps I will be fitting the sensor NO FAN just to be sure what the temps are. the fans are just hiding any issues as it only cools half of the motor. I also what to find out if the truck can be controlled in the air to keep the front up. But most of all I want to keep it in one piece until upgrades hit the market. Lol

Guess you can understand why I'm always breaking mine now

tinkered way last night to sink the toolbox I made a box for the box to sit in it now sits 10mm lower and looks sooo much better also put the painted wheel wells and radiator on the chassis really happy the way the radiator turned out

They do look good... But I would rather have logs and a chainsaw lol

One of them fifth wheel caravans behind this would look spectacular!!! nice choice mate, there 8x8 trucks look very robust so I'm sure this will be much of the same I guess. look forward to meeting you at the scale nats too, should be a great event this year.....

I'll just put these here aswell

time to fix me mt's holiday damage....fit another 1256tg an horn as me boys savvy has the old one init....
