  2. I know this has been done before, but there've been no replies to the other Dog threads for 7 years and all the pics have been bastardised by Photobucket. So, let's see your pooches! Here's ours, Oscar the Cocker who's recently turned 2 years old

  3. I posted max before hes 11 now he was given to me aged 10 months and already his 4th owner. His first owner worked all day and played all night. So max was alone nearly all the time. Next owner just wanted to make money. Sold him to a lady who wanted to breed him. But her little thing ****zu male attacked the staffy every chance. Max just allowed for 3months. Then decided no more and snapped. That was it theyd only need to see each other and max went wild. Once he decided its on it was never off. Pounding stair gates. So the lady offerd him free to me. My friends mum. Since then hes been attacked by almost every popular family breed. Even a yorkie went wild biting his legs max just staring down at it. Until a little old lady came fin and blinding at her dog. Hes had 3x labs and 3x golden retrievers at once. It was like a disney skit. 3 dogs snapping at the air he was just in. Max outdanced them always never even growling back. His fuse must be a mile long. But his luck ran out at the park 3yrs ago. Bull mastiff X grey hound type came up no owner in sight but was playful even submissive so i turned my back to get the ball and they played chase me chase me. That hound got him away from me. Then attacked him. I just heard screaming looked and the hound was standing over max with his neck in its mourh. I blew up i was gonna boot that dog all the way to the other side of thr feild where a yoing lad was standing watching. Not running tpwards. I got within striking distance and it bolted gone. Leaning like race bike but muscular as a bull mastiff hound head. Once it bolted max tried to run after it. I snapped get here something. Checked him over and he seemed fine. Scratched up alot. An old man walking a small dog came over to see if he's ok. Saying he was thankful the thing didnt come to him. His dog would have been ragged. We got home all seemed fine. Then i noticed him licking his shoulder i stopped him then blood just streaked down. That hound peirced his shoulder fully. The next day it was swollen so much he couldn't walk. Since then his fuse is gone. Small dogs are fine no threat even if its biting. But big dogs he will lunge first now. Its infuriating. Everyone hates staffies or did now its much better for them. But the bad ones probably been through stuff wed never wish on any creature. I brought him up very well but other fools ruined him. Walking 3 dogs off lead. Mayb 13+ times i fought dogs off for him. Inc two times = 6 dogs. Farmers wives in tweed are my nightmare. I even had a guy with sheep dog get within 20ft then let his dog off. That just charged us straight away. I swear he wanted to cause trouble. Like meh staffy watever my collie could take it. A biker guy huge mear head full of tats and a staffy much bigger than max. Picked up his dog like a baby and carried it past us. His dog just stared at ud like i don't know either lol. It was funny. A time a 3yr old from nowhere just pitta patta i turned around to see a toddler boy in full jump arm up high. As he landed he slapped maxs butt to the floor. Pure shock he just dropped his rear and spun round. Face to face with the kid and he just licked him from chin to eyebrows. I was ready to scald the mum. But i never seen a sight like it. Truly pillar of salt. So i just walked on. Its been craziest dog i ever owned. The dogs ide be nervous to challenge are the best dogs. Apart from the mongrel hound. There was a staffy once its gate open as we wakied past it just jumped on him got him by the neck. I shouted and that staffy listened to every word i told it get in. It did. No other breed listend to me. Max had to out dance them to get behind me. His lead dangling. Its been crap tbh. Its always maxs fault too cos hes a staffy i swear two owners dogs wild mine scared but its his fault. Well hes a fighting dog int he. No. Hes a loving family pet brought up with 3 babies after him and will take anything from them. Amazing dog. I hope there isn't a next time but after his baf attack i don't think he'll take it. Hes been challenged crashing chests with a sharpie luckily the sharpie trotted off give up. I was proud of max that day. He stopped it himself. Again no owner in sight. Even the cat scared him under 6 months old lol. The cat was the boss. But was scratching the kids so we gabe him away. Now regret it having a house garden etc. Kids wouldn't leave him alone. Hed sit on the curtain pole or climb the doors and sit on them. Beautiful cat though.

  6. Personally I prefer Deans due to their wide acceptance within the industry. The vast majority of batteries and speed controllers can be bought with Deans fitted as standard. They are also widely used at my club, so if I need to borrow a battery off a mate, or lend one to someone, they will be compatible. Some people find them difficult to hold, but if you get the ones with the ridges moulded into the plugs, they are easy enough to grip. And they really aren't that difficult to solder once you have had a little practice. A third hand tool helps. (I tried XT60s, but found they pulled apart a bit too easily for my liking. I also tried bullets, but didn't trust myself to always get the polarity right.)

  12. I love dogs but dont have the life style to suit owning one. So we borrow nwxt doors lol. He just comes round when he see me get back from work. Love him he's such a great dog Tail docking depending on breed i see no issue with. Friend as a boxer and it just looks plain wrong with a big Mahoosive tail knocking everything flying. But with the shooting theres a very good reason for tail docking and the reason its still done on working dogs.

  13. Jayde, my Rottweiler, it was a real toss up between a Husky and a Rottweiler, I went to view some, she came waddling across the living room, an absolute lump of fluff and beautiful brown eyes, I knew she was coming home with me. I was absolutely strict about having a tail too and most I saw had been docked, I don't agree with the practice of it or what it was originally for, therefore wanted no part of it. I got her at bang on 8 weeks old, she is coming up 7 in October, which from the researching I did, is a decent age for a Rottweiler. We also have a Lhasa Apso, Tia, who is absolutely nuts, they get on like mother and daughter and best friends. It's quite amazing, completely different breeds, Tia came about 16 months after Jayde but they just immediately bonded. My sister actually had Jaydes sister too for a while, but she wasn't quite as friendly as Jayde is and with young kids, she had to get rid of her. I'll try not to spam lol, but here's a few of our duo.

  14. Made up a small gear cover. It was open and I didn't want anything getting in it. Simple. But it works. Also have some scale parts waiting for me at my local shop. So hopefully get them after work.

  17. Definitely not the worst soldering I have seen, in fact far from it. I think the bodies can be hit and miss, bumpers really don't do that much protecting, it's usually the tops that suffer the worst when they roll. Being that it's a cage, it might be a good idea to add some strength where the cage bolts to the body, then when you do roll, it doesn't crack. Just be wary of adding too much weight up high.

  18. Given it doesn't run and is sold as seen, seeing it in person isn't a huge issue, would you not consider posting it at all?

  19. Then i did this, again my soldering skills although getting better leave a lot to be desired! burned the casing so will probably have to change the plugs when more arrive! I really wish I tried harder in DT class when I was at school!

  20. Decided to "Adjust" some of my previous work on the Axial SCX10 ii, I cut down the motor cables (Only a cheap motor) and routed them properly, also moved the on off switch and stuck it down properly. I don't know what you guys think but I personally think its a lot better. Also fitted my new "Very expensive for what seems like not much reason" Body! Could I possibly be the worst solderer on the forum? Really like the body though, but now have no solid front or back bumpers... what do people do about that as this body will get ruined if I use it.

  21. Thanks, yep seems like a good bunch on here. Im going to try and stick with the Gens Ace 4S batteries for the bigger stuff and I'm going to need some 2S batteries for racing, probably be Core RC. I have some 3S batteries for crawlers. I can see me buying the Dynamite as I also don't want to be making a box and messing around with external PSU just to charge some batteries, for now ill stick with charging 2 at a time for a while until I decide to take the plunge.

  24. I have a couple, a teeny tiny 2S graphene 1000mah which runs the truck fine but only for short periods, and a more sensible 2200mah one which'll do a reasonably long crawl. But really it's up to you, I don't mind swapping batteries, some people prefer a big one and long life. Unless you go massive it'll be lighter than the stock nimh. Anything about the same size will be lighter, more powerful and longer lived. Just be careful of connectors, unless you can solder it's a total pain to accidentally buy the wrong one.

  25. Ive had an iPhone since when ever the 3 came out, and have a Watch, iPad Pro, iPad air and an iMac so its all easy for me in terms of the cloud. Id have exactly the same issues that the lady had if I went over to Android from iOs. Or Macos to Windows. Her issue is changing to a new software, not because Apple is being awkward. I use the Wifi OBD fault reader and (paid) app to clear and diagnose faults on my own VW with no issues. Ive been using wireless Bluetooth headphones since way before the headphone socket dissapeared on my Phone. The adapter is included in the box for you to use 3,5mm jack should you want to. Just some counter points mate.... Funny Ive never seen an Apple user randomly start telling an Android user how bad their chosen product is compared to theirs, yet Android people always seem to try and bring this up? Very weird....

  28. Personally I prefer the "clean" look of a charger like the dynamite Prophet, internal PSU means less cables. Also, i'm electronically retarded so a plug and play charger which can charge 4 packs at once by just plugging it straight into the wall suits me perfectly!
