A set of bumpers for the Hyper MT, for some reason the front one on mine was pretty dinged up out of the box, I moaned and they sent me a new set 👌

Installed a vrc pipe and some alloy chassis braces on the mtxl...then took it for a quick test run.

Just a little crawl in the garden

fitted outer portal brass casings to the trx 4 earlier and also added for asthetic reasons and a bit extra weight break discs and calipers, also greaesed em a bit while they were open and added some red alloy shackles to the back of the new bumper 🙂 had a hell of a time getting one of my drive pins out of one of the brass hexes, the little ****** stripped, ended up drilling it out then found a suitable one then it was to long on the threaded bit so was protruding on the wheel hex preventing the wheel from going on, out came the dremmel to sort that little problem and all good 🙂

4s balance extension leads and charge cables. Hopefully will be pressed into use tomorrow!

Victory RC pipe and some alloy chassis braces for the mtxl today😍😍

After a lot of rude words. 4 different test items. And a lot of messing about and a nice headache my pro44 link riser is finished. Not the most tidy item. But it's good enough for now. Time to print a final one off and get it fitted. Also sorted the weight hangers last night. Added 40mm to the axle. One more job sorted off the list. Habe already fixed the issue with the 2 small holes in the weight hangers. Moved them slightly. Getting some slugs made for it next week.

So, I have a whole 1/2 mile stretch of tarmac all to myself..... 😝 What's a guy to do? The tyres performed flawlessly. Consistent grip, progressive past the limit and made the car surprisingly agile for such a big machine. No dramas - yes, as you get to that >75% throttle mark, the car squirms like a F1 car, but it just lurches onwards never the less. Motor was warm after half a dozen runs, but this is hardly surprising for 75mph runs with 0-60 around the 2.0 second mark..... 👀 The truck sounded smooth, everything stayed together - a flawless performance by both tyres and Kronos XTR.

I’m trying a new direction in CVD lubrication - gun oil CLP. Will is stick lubricate and prevent rust? Who knows but I will soon find out! This was quite interesting:

Ye sure it's no a trap Tug? 😉

This.Been after one for a while and managed to find one in stock.Going away until my birthday and then I will fit an arrma 3s system I have laying around.

hi i have been into rc cars a while and love the cars i have so obviously i want to buy an rc boat randomly can someone stop me before the missus kills me lol

I have been so busy I've not even had the chance to look! 😞 Worst case I'll just borrow one, I do work at Modelsport and see them every day, so no excuses really! Haha.

Yep the TRX4 is bigger than the DC1

Thanks a lot @Stormbringer, that'll probably be a valuable trove of info for me. I had been looking for such a thread but hadn't found one!!!!

Theres quite a thread on the vantage ,have a read through it is quite long but there are tips on how to improve it

they have to make every truggy as ugly as possible these days. they make them more ugly to blind the opponents, because they have run out of ideas to actually improve performance. 😄

Installed the hilantronics kill switch today, just doesn't seem to be playing ball with the standard dx2e radio though...

Squander the £12 on a gold membership!

Grey body for the Hyper MT The Blue body rtr truck was £45 cheaper than the Grey. I found a Grey body for £33 😂

Fitted the new metal bumper with a winch to TRX6 . Old plastic bumper in shot to show difference

I would be thinking what she is after mate lol or she has just given up

Nothing. However, I've left three fifth scales lined up in the living room which is 4mtrs square, SINCE SATURDAY! AND SHE'S SAID NOTHING! Bless her.

You’ve come to the wrong place if you want us to talk you out of it 😂😂😂

Not me I say buy 2 just in case the 1st one sinks😁

been out the loop by quite a few years for rc cars and dad and i are getting back into them. years ago my dad sold an original grasshopper to some one that put a strong 540 in it and trashed it, that poor wee hopper wasn't hopping anymore 😛 now a few day's ago dad and i just both got grasshopper rerelease kits, due to almost every thing we have been too powerful for a garden covered in stones and gravel etc and the fact were on lockdown dang that little 380 motor and bouncy pogosticks are super awesome fun and even better with 2 of them bouncing about all stock apart from fully ball raced im gonna leave mine stock i reckon. dad has his in fluorescent orange and on the wheels. any one know where to get green nuts? theres a sledge hammer s50 a savage a bandit etc but the grass hopper is just as much fun

thanks got them fitted on it now

Both of them in garden
