Here's my recently built TT-02 (Yes, the body posts have been shortened)

Love this

Built a quick shelf unit for all the cars n tools. Couldn't have it all sitting around on the floor anymore. Bit ratchet but it works 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Last night I picked up my first Tamiya model, I spotted it in the classifieds and had to have it. Can anyone tell me what I've bought? 😂

The current AB5 JetQuad prototype has a claimed top speed of 250 mph (402 km/h) FusionFlight VIEW 3 IMAGES While propeller planes certainly do have their place, sometimes the extra speed and thrust of a jet engine is what's really needed. Dallas, Texas-based FusionFlight has applied that sort of thinking to quadcopter-style drones, resulting in the AB5 JetQuad. According to the company, the AB5 is "the world’s smallest and most powerful jet-powered drone with vertical take-off and landing [VTOL] capabilities." Instead of the usual four electric motors and propellers, the current prototype has four diesel-powered microturbine jet engines which produce a combined 200 horsepower (149 kW) at full throttle. Thanks to a proprietary vectoring system known as the H-Configuration, the thrust from these engines can be directed either to move the drone vertically when taking off and landing, or horizontally while in flight. The AB5 JetQuad measures 4 ft L X 4 ft W X 2 ft H (1.2 by 1.2 by 0.6 m) FusionFlight The production version of the aircraft will reportedly have a top speed of over 300 mph (483 km/h), with one fill of its 5-gallon (19-l) fuel tank being good for 30 minutes of hovering or 15 minutes of cruising. Down the road, the addition of components such as afterburners could boost its speed considerably. It will carry a maximum payload of 40 lb (18 kg), with cargo being either attached to the drone itself or dangled on a line underneath – the company states that the cargo won't be blasted by the engines in the latter configuration, as the thrust is never vectored straight below the AB5. The drone itself weighs a claimed 50 lb (23 kg), with a full tank of fuel adding another 40 lb. The AB5 has a theoretical altitude limit of over 30,000 ft (9,144 m) FusionFlight FusionFlight CEO Alexander Taits tells us that the AB5 may be on the market by 2021, priced somewhere between US$200,000 and $250,000 depending on the model. Potential buyers are likely to be putting a premium on speed and power. "The jet engines can put out significantly more power then electrically-driven propellers and also allow the vehicle to travel at much higher speeds," says Taits. "Diesel fuel, on a pound-for-pound basis, stores 40 times more energy then any lithium-type battery and also will take minutes to refuel instead of the hours it takes to recharge an electrical drone." You can see the prototype taking off and hovering, in the following video. Source: FusionFlight jetquad-db5 View full news article

Yeah that’s what you get for a bunch of old gossiping women 😂😂😂

Why stock one works fine out the box why replace it if it’s not broke ?

OMG I have just found a Pearl Copper paint that looks awesome....... May have to rethink my colour scheme.....

Grc battery relocation kitbis a good upgrade for that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

i'm voting labour, as i always have, more so this time to try get more labour seats in parliament to aim to remove the homophobic, racist, misogynistic, pathological liar, and moronic a***hole from power. the tories have done more harm than good to this country since they came into power, and out of the 14 recessions we've seen so far, 11 of them were achieved while parliament was in tory control. it's sad to see a country such as our own, fall into such a state, where the government wants to sell our national healthcare system to private buyers, and that also wants to see the poor get poorer, the sick get sicker, the children get dumber, the armed forces get weaker, the emergency services get strangled for resources, and their pockets get fatter. the older generations say corbyn is a terrorist sympathiser and that they ''want to get brexit done'', but they fail to realise that as well as ''brexit'', they're giving up so much more than the EU, but they don't care. i couldn't give a flying foxtrot about the EU at this point, i care more about the younger generations and the state of the country they have to deal with growing up. the only thing we can do is hope the people do the right thing, and vote en masse to get the tories out!! Make Britain Great Again, VOTE LABOUR ✌️

That's it's only weak point I found. Incredibly durable.

Out the box the Senton 6s is far superior to the rest. It also doesn't fold as easy as the other Arrmas 😉 video of my 6s Senton a while back.

Senton, definitely. Only broken rear body posts, despite multiple crashes and tumbles.

Hyper ST Pro

The rear arms on the Summit are different to the Revo as well. This gives the Summit a slightly longer wheelbase.

And the obligatory flex shot

Thanks for the info @danny boy I'll look into all your suggestions. I've been slowly working on this as well as my Konghead. The electrics are in, the body is done, and I've only got the interior left to do and then I can go for a drive! I've opted for a Hobbywing Quicrun 10.5t motor and 120a esc. I bought this 5 quid body from China as a basher, and getting past the terrible logos, it actually fits quite nice. But I've actually settled on a 2008 Impreza as the 'proper' body. I knew I didn't want to go box art, so I had a look in my 'paint cupboard' to see what half used cans I had, and settle on these. I didn't really have an exact plan for the body and ended up with this. And here it is decalled up. I can't quite decide if it needs something down each side, but I'll ponder that. All mounted up. (Yes, I'm going to cut down the body posts). That's where I'm up to for now. Next up will hopefully be the interior... although I do have a DT-03 that keeps staring at me... Thanks for looking.

Add brass portal covers to the front axle on my new TRX-4 Sport kit build, hoping that adding the extra weight up front will mean it climbs a little better. Also added a 3s shorty lipo up front, again to get the most weight over the front axle. Hope I have understood the things I have read and this will help with overall crawling performance.

Life is getting in the way of RC too much. Just seen this though, £60..... joke motor of course (it's ntot a typo) and chassis looks poorly finished so I wonder on the other parts. Ebay item no: eBay item number: 223670001868 Might explain Schumachers position in the UK. Shame on LC if they sold out. Interesting top plate....
