Not today but Sunday just gone, used one and got a couple of poser shots, and my youngest posing with daddy’s landy.

just air brushed my FH12 in a zombie theme

Nice bit of sunshine crawling

90% of the time I go out by myself, I normally go out early Saturday or Sunday morning, I can then go to local bmx tracks or skate parks without getting hassle from the local idiots

Ordered these parts for my 1/1 car from Osaka in Japan on bank holiday monday, they arrived today......

If anyone is interested in seeing some serious 5th scale carnage , head over here to see the latest metal get thrashed....... Enjoy!

It's been a while since I last updated this build. I've been busy working on this and my Hilux trying to get them both finished for the G6 at the end of May. So, all the metalwork has been etched primered waiting for the top coat, which will be black. Final fill of the cab joint. Pretty pleased with the outcome. I also made the decision to take out the stock fuel filler and add in a more scale looking one from Don Jarr. It wasn't too tricky to do, but did require a bit of cutting inside the rear bed, which I wasn't too happy about. Much happier with the look now. Painted up the RC4WD inner fenders. Black lexan paint first of all followed by two coats of bed liner for a more realistic look. And I finally got round to starting the final colour. Peugeot Seville Orange. I hadn't got any plans to do much to the interior as it looks pretty good standard, so I just added a few small details. Here's the beginning of the final colour. The last paint job was to add the black details. So, out came an array of masking tapes. The body is still drying, but here's how the screen came out. Really pleased. I then started looking at all the trim pieces and it dawned on me that all the chrome pieces wouldn't look right with all the black detailing. So, I removed the chrome and primered everything ready for the final black coat tomorrow. And lastly for now, I picked up this great looking tire strap from Club 5 Racing. It's really nicely detailed and easy to assemble. Hopefully the next update will be the final finished truck, so stay tuned...

SR20 for life lol

Just click the report button and ask for it to be deleted, a mod will get rid of the ones you want deleting if they're double posts.

Thank you

Yes, they often provide 2 spares per wheel, so 8 would be correct.

Personally I'd say no. To me it looks like all the parts left over that the company couldn't sell, they add 'alloy' into the title and raise the price to an extortionate amount, notice no real brand names, because it's probably all cheap monkey metal. For that you could get an SCX10.2 kit, some very good electrics, paint and lots of accessories to keep you happy. You get the pleasure of building it, choosing your own colour, having some quality electrics and not a massively heavy metal truck. I've not used one, so I can't give you a comparison, but if that thing is better than a box stock SCX10.2, I'll eat my own hat. And then you also factor in price of electrics too, you'll be nigh on £600 for basically a cheap copy. Get the original, whether it's an SCX10, Ascender, TRX4, or whatever.

I have a trx4 and my lad has a trx4 too. His has hobbywing esc and a Holmes motor with a power hd servo. Mine is stock apart from a power he servo and a bec. I only changed my servo because I wanted to. The original was still going strong as are the micro servos on both cars. Its an excellent truck. We’ve broken a few bits but who doesn’t. We mostly trail run with some crawling thrown in and it’s a blast. They climb stuff well. They descend stuff well too. They go through water nicely but just remember to clean and dry it if you’re going to get it wet. We got my lads 2nd hand and I looked at the axial just for the sake of being different. The quality of the traxxas just felt way better and by the time I’d got radio and other stuff for the axial kit the traxxas seemed cheaper. Ive never felt disappointed with the car. It does everything I ask of it, looks ace and has lasted well. Buy one. You won’t regret it.

Thanks Scotty!

Mint video, that was a beat in the background too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

John at Joker Designs has very kindly offered to swap the 5ive T turnbuckles for B ones

I think kamtec might have done one. They have tons now treasure trove of old school cars but kinda comical tho. http://www.kamtec.co.uk/epages/BT4645.mobile/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/BT4645/Products/K0054

Another nightshift purchase haha. €102 shipped with th ESCS

Few pics of Black rocks meet this past Sunday. another full day with no issues at all.

Tug-Glad to hear your family are okay. I'm still recovering from a bad crash in October and nearly died- and i was a rear passenger!!!makes you count your blessings. Glad it wasn't serious. Sent from my SM-T820 using Tapatalk

Sorry mate, can’t find any as yet....

Let me know next time your out. I work in Wick so should be able to find it easy enough. What rc's do you guys use?

Okay, chill out, I remember the days of running my own business, and to make it a success financially, sales had to pushed !!.

Got a little carried away when cutting the damaged bits of the body off and ended up taking a bit more than I thought off

Early bday present, hope I have better luck with this then the phantom I had.

What about this one...?

If you have time to spare, clean them up, get some detailed pics and stick them up for sale as individual lots, you might be quite surprised how much you make. original monster beetles and Blackfoot models make good money today (depending on condition etc.) those two could fetch £200. thing is how much is your time worth? I personally wouldn’t buy your lot and sell on for profit, traders or not, we’re supposed to be like minded folk helping each other out. And I don’t mean giving stuff away but not stiffing them either. and pics speak a thousand words. Get some stuck up and I’m sure between us we can give a honest value of each car. Hope this helps...

Yeah what. They've always sold toyota bodies. No news now they pay just highlights they never used to.
