Hi guys, finished this a few weeks back. Chassis and all the alloy and carbon parts are made by me, most for sale on my website. I painted the shell too Im on a few american clodbuster groups and every truck I see on there is proper loud in colour or emulating a rear monster truck, I decided to keep things a bit more subtle and british

This is my carnage/vantage hybrid purely for tarmac, started as a carnage got fed up of breaking it off road so converted to road car.

I need to take the ET410.2 out with the missus so I have a cameraman. Properly epic fun. Thing drives beautifully and flys through the air like it has wings. So well balanced, even if I have stuck a 3660 can in there and relocated the radio. I reckon it could easily take 3s.

Some parts for a very special TA-02 build. And a second set of VQS Hi Cap dampers, but still no VQS Why 2 sets of dampers for a buggy I don't own and you can't even buy yet? I don't know, this hobby makes no sense sometimes and that's just how it is

Thanks folks! Well chuffed. And thanks to Nick, MSUK and CML 👍

You could always take a chance on plugging original lights into new rx if they work they work if not no big loss as you have these other 1's 🍻

cool result

Thank you, a bonus, I hadn’t realised the Dumbo RC transmitter I have bought actually comes with some LEDS, so will use these if I can.👍

or you could use these they are 5mm leds and quite cheap https://www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?product_id=368699 and rears https://www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?product_id=368698 i use them in my lit cars trucks and they do just plug into rx

measure the voltage as is at moment on old system for lights then measure new rx voltage see if same

it should be but might be best checking voltage leds work on and rx voltage if volts to high the leds could pop 🍻

Cracking filming and editing.

as dre said above mate, would you keep ahpi one stock if you found one ? you have a few options though, the rovan and km as stated above, my opinion is the km is the better option, but rovan are getting better, yes for the most part everythings interchangeable between hpi/rovan/km, although same as any platform some minor mods may be needed, so you could buy a second hand hpi and so a complete strip and rebuild, that way you make it into a kit then rebuild, buy a new km or rovan and do a complete strip, again make a kit and rebuild, scratch build from parts, and add the mods you want from the get go, and fit engine you want, 26cc/ 29cc/ 32cc etc etc, the last option could be expensive though buying all new parts and then building, but you could build the car you personally want, i-rc chassis and chassis brace , bonehead rc carbon parts or turtle racing or uber or i-rc etc, do a little research and do yerself a price list on parts, then decide if thats the way you wanna go, rcmodelz stock every part km and rovan, plus the area rc and various other upgrade parts, an alloy diff case/gearbox is a must if you bash hard, turtle racing do the gearbox as do km/rovan, whatever you do DO NOT build a full alloy one if your gonna bash it, it will bend and break, keep a few plastic parts in there that will flex a little and take some of the shock out in a big crash, ie; bulkheads, a arms etc, or you could just buy a used hpi or new km/rovan, bash it, break it and repair with upgrade parts as ya go,

Yeah I'm deffo chuffed with the looks and how they perform. Only had 10 mins or so with them on the rocks so far but they work really well on my sandstone and granite course [emoji41] Sent from my BLN-L21 using Tapatalk

theres rovan and kingmotors clones about for cheap prices but tbh id ask myself if you bought a SS would u keep it stock? i hardly even seen anyone with a stocker back in the day by the time you buy a decent pipe little upgrades here there etc id check the second market look for a near stocker with a few upgrades should be around the price of the clones anyway :)

Thank you kindly

Very good vid 🍻

I’m not one for “shelve queens” but I honestly don’t think I could run that outdoors. Thats a work of art! Absolutely stunning......well done 👍

Here's a blade 450 brushless Heli... In great working order with a nice upgrade of carbon fibre blades and a set of spare cf blades and plastic ones too!! Price - £72 + 8 post Includes long range radio system, 3s lipo, spare main gear. Even includes some free alloy hex tools Front lexan canopy is cracked from storage, could be repaired or replaced for little cost... Its the only flaw it has. Thanks for looking

Stunning as per normal 👌

These are currently the only pics I have of the DBR9... I'll take a few of the insides tomorrow! https://imgur.com/a/YSIfowl

Found another nice spot nearby so had to test the big rock out...time for a clean now though

Hello guys! It's been awhile since I've been on here, so I thought I'd bring back the wr8 and treat it to some new shocks and some 3d printed parts

He must of been on the old Jamaican woodbines when measured that 🥺

Bearings from the start mate as with any Tamiya. its very similar build wise to the hi-lift chassis, only bit to keep a eye on is the gearbox build, ive made small mistakes that can cause a massive problem. oh and make sure the rear axles are the correct way round, ive also had the wheels going toward each other that makes the back end hop lol. you know where I am though mate

I've had my Venture SBK for pretty much 18 months now. It drives really well. I was also impressed with most of the quality, with the exception of some of the bearings being a loose fit in the transmission gears. It's not been out for a while, but will be soon. Austar body. Holmes torquemaster 540 30t motor and an old but good Castle MMP esc. Imade up rrear body mounts and some other parts from delrin and used magnets to mount the body.

I’ve spent a bit of time on mine the past couple of days. Fabricated some bumpers for it that were originally for my old Defender. Also drastically improved the lighting on it. Very happy with the result. Electrics wise, it’s running a Holmes Hobbies CrawlMaster Sport 12T with a Hobbywing 1080. Brilliant combo, it crawls so well! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A few pics of my SCA-1E out on the trail... Which I had to delete to make space…..😠

Keep the savvies coming lads
