First run with the Gom 👍🏻

What millions of years look like in one photo - Ireland

Epic day tbh. No major breakages at all. Just more damage to X Maxx shell and some bearings need changing: A friend bought this along Oh I damaged a Lipo

finally found some time to get most of this build finished, needs minor finishing but im almost done.

Had one last swamp run down the bridal path before this afternoons* tear down and service, bound to need some new bearings and the motor probably needs some love I think. It’s running fine, but you can’t beat preventative maintenance. *It will be blocking the work bench all week 😂

Took the Gom out for its first run

Looks good mate and i see you did it black just for a change

That looks fantastic mate But seeing your photos is very unsafe for my wallet... every time you make a post it makes me want to buy a crawler

Easy to paint single colour body but certainly looks nice when finished.

Yeah, sounds familiar. Unfortunately, I tried the screw technique and it didn't help. New chassis has arrived, though!

Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a wee while but decided to say hello. I've been into anything RC for the last 30 years, had my first nitro car at 17 and then progressed onto flying competitive 3D helicopters and the odd plane. Been away from RC for about 10 years so delving back in now my oldest boy is showing an interest. No doubt I'll have questions since I've been out of the loop for a wee while:D

Hello *** Provisional sale agreed *** I’m looking to sell my MT410. Built a few months ago but, other than a run up and down the street for 2 minutes, has never been run. Proline Raptor bodyshell painted Tamiya Copper, the inside of which is drywall taped and glued. My first ever body painting but looks very passable, no cracks or scratches as never been bashed about. There are M2C chassis braces and shock tower/body post stiffeners fitted. There is also an M2C long rear brace, should you ever want to fit a longer chassis. The chassis has had a skin applied during the build, so there are no marks underneath. Chinese alloy steering top plate. The shocks have Tekno alloy top and bottom caps fitted. The plastic originals are included, along with unused parts from the build. There is also a Tekno steel spur gear included but not fitted, the supplied composite one being in the truck. Arrma 4s Backflip wheels/tyres. A pair of T-bone racing bumpers are included but not fitted. The truck has a used Hobbywing Max 8 2200KV combo running a 15 tooth pinion, a DS3235 35kg servo and Tekno alloy servo horn, along with Dumbo RC rx/tx. So, a Tekno MT410 with most of the “must have” upgrades fitted, in as new condition. Looking for £500 collected/local meet near Manchester, as it is. Posted for £520. All plus fees, if using PayPal. Contact me if you are interested in it without any of the electronics, so we can discuss a deal.

Looking forward seeing that mate

🤣 I’ve bought Tamiya gun metal for the next kit

Pretty Tough TBF 🙂

Let’s be honest going up a tenner isn’t the end of the world as it’s already £150 over priced 😂😂😂 Rc prices are like 1-1 prices now stupid crazy, think it’s time to sell up and find something else to do

Had a little drive, followed by a tinker. The Super 5sc has way too much slop in the steering, I've reduced it, but not cleared it totally.

The 10bl60 would be compatible with the motor but it's not a "blinky" /stock specific ESC so the club might not accept it if they run zero timing rules. This justock esc is fixed timing and close in price. As AJ says ask at the club which would be best to use. https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/339468/?gclid=CjwKCAjwloCSBhAeEiwA3hVo_f9adx_b45Z8SS-o5Kvnnbb_VvOFlmZXNL6FnoIXvH-9V3k2K8u5ZRoCrQIQAvD_BwE

Thanks mate 👍🏻 Would of liked to film it but forgot to charge the camera 🤣

Looks the Biz mate, nice one, and sometimes its nice to just take a few pics rather than all the faff with video

You learn something everyday! Thanks.

That’s correct 👍

Thanks. That’s good to know. So can modern receivers accept power from any of the channel inputs?

No idea on the acoms, but all modern receivers share a common positive and ground, so it doesn’t matter what channel has the battery source

Went to Penistone Hill (Google Maps link) which @Fred barlow suggested and it's an excellent spot, loads of parking space right next to the action, some really good bits to crawl and challenge us with! And fairly accessible for those not so good on their feet (no scrambling up hills). I'm happy with this place, so I will now decide a date and let you all know more details on what you can expect on the day. 🙂 Stay tuned! Photos from today (wish we did it today the weather was amazing!)

Still going strong. Mad Max styleeee Crying out for a new servo mind!

All replaced without a fuss which was a relief!

Put some silly wheels on and had some fun... (These are for an upcoming build)

Not a bad day at work

new vid of the ever growing kittys and gizmo lost his furry balls 🙂

Well…. She is proper bad arse now! Crazy fast, struggled to have the room to get her up to full throttle over two football pitches. Was wheeling with any spurt on the throttle at any speed, dread to think how quick it was going over grass?? After proper punishment the motor was only warm so the fans doing a great job, wish I had a gps speed thingy to see how fast it goes. The new shocks performed really now the oil is sorted. got some road tyres to do some tarmac runs, tis going to be silly quick! will try and get some video but am mostly out on my own so maybe ask a interested passer by to film a bit, there were quite a few people stood watching this crazy little thing shooting across the grass! the whole thing held together really well till I took a jump at silly speed, got wonky on the landing and it did about 20 cartwheels, it smashed the two left wheels to bits but nothing else bent or damaged so think I have a good combination of stiff unbreakable bits and bendy plastic bits. Anyway I am chuffed with my little vantage rocket!

So my esc and motor turned up today, so fitted them both, bit of a tight squeeze but managed to fit it all without having to modify the chassis, just had to take a tiny notch out the bottom of the upper plate for the esc capacitors. Am really happy with how it turned out, had to cut out the shell for the yeah racing double fan but knew I would have to and it looks quite mean I think. anyway will see how it goes on the morrow!!

Latest from Banksy

They only fully supported if for a couple years, they did the same with the 2wd version, but at least that could be fixed with slash/rustler 2wd parts, the 4x4 shares zero parts with any other RC’s

The banners not allowed on the wall apparantly

If you aren't planning on jumping miles the team corally shogun would be a good choice. The motor and ESC are really decent from what I've seen. The chassis and platform isn't the strongest though. The arrmas seem to be a bit heavier and slower, but a bit more durable when jumping. Especially with aftermarket parts.

More shell spam!! It's finished. Not sure why I bothered it will be trashed again in no time.... Still, it looks aight at the moment😛

Ivan Stewart inspired paint job... Just need to find some decent decals.

It's been a while since i've used mine now.. I look forward to getting back out with it again this spring. Roll on the good weather please! EDIT: Decided to charge a couple of batteries up and take her out for a spin 😁 it's quite nice out there today, tad chilly though

Interior and body coming along nicely. Made a front grill where I will install 2 halo lights. Will look nice when it's chromed. Also found a smaller supercharger for 1/8 scale.

I’ve only ever painted one shell, so I guess it counts as my best
