Fitted some front light buckets to the little beetle shell (killer bodies light buckets), need to make up some lights now. Also tried some different wheels on it.

Delivered from Fusionhobbies with a free (unexpected) ESC and a pack of sweets. Now that’s service!

Build…. Hopefully one day time permitted

we doing trucks? 😄

Not the postie as he doesn't bring me much with haveing a local model shop This and some foams And some wheels And some Schumacher vee 2

.

Gave the LMT its first run and absolutely destroyed the body with road rash but what a blast. Couple of things though I definitely think that they will be even more fun with other LMTs with some dedicated jumps and I kind of wish I went 2s instead of 3s as I barely got past half throttle, only reason I went 3s is there really wasn't much of a price difference between the battery's I was looking at. Oh and speaking of the throttle I think it has quite a weird throttle curve luckily I still have my spektrum program card so I will have a look at the esc settings at some point.

We must be in The quite between the storms ......

@Stoat_Muldoon That's a very cool truck mate

Where is the sweets That's clearly the important bit lol

Just joined the club at long last 😄

I have no self control when am in the shop online I have self control lol

Just starting with RC and Lego: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC62SmNXR50XFQai4K88wNPA Getting the hang of filming, camera setup and editing with some small lego builds but will be posting RC builds and eventually running footage.

When I bought the race car last month my missus told me I had to sell some knives if I wanted to get into raceing . So I understand the pain of multiple hobbies

@James.S.Johnson the reason for my warning earlier today, was to address your attitude towards other members and to tone down the rude responses - This warning clearly had no affect and you react by posting a new topic ‘apologising’ yet ‘giving personal digs’. It is with no regret to inform you that you are now officially banned off this forum and you are free to take the drama elsewhere…

I'll have more infor on this after my next race But options are very different the abbikty to setup throttle curves ect And responsiveness I've swapped from a flysky gt3b to the swana and you can tell the difference allmost straight away And it feels alot nicer in hand

@m4inbrain

Thanks bud 😄

Yes, I ordered some 3d printed ones from eBay, they don’t fit any of my wheels, and they aren’t the best either, have the stickers ready to go on them, will keep looking.

You should see if you can get some turbofans for it 🤤

nothing wrong with using NI-MH for crawlers, its what i tend to use, though i did recently make a Li-ion pack using a pair of 26650 4200mah cells as a 1P pack gives good run times but lighter than a NIMH

Cheers mate👍

That's looking mega

How broken is broken Tbh in some of my car's I don't have them and in some I've just glued them together as they have been to week Servos are cheap now Littrally just paid a tenner for one off Amazon with same day delivery

Same as me then, was out earlier today and thought to myself that it's the perfect amount of power - the one thing i'd like is running it sensored. Of course, i know, sensored is not for everyone, and it technically is a waste of money for little gain, but.. my X-Maxx. Started looking into sensored cans of comparable size/power, but sadly SOOL on that one, most of the stuff i could find (1100kv castle 1717 etc) was too small for an X-Maxx, or 800kv and lower cans that require big modifications etc again. Suppose that's not gonna happen sadly, i just really like sensored systems. Well, here we are. Decent standard servo and the adapter for it, bearing kit, new set of batteries and maaaaybe one of them integy alloy steering bell crank supports (tiny amount of bling). I'll hold off on the widemaxx kit for now (or maybe read into the M2C wide-kit). Probably time to do hub carriers too now. Cheers.

look for EP cells usually good packs OP 👍 https://www.racing-cars.com/ep-stick-pack-sc4000mah-7-2v-nimh-ep4000s

Even with postage and tax? What sort of nimh you after?

Yep, only had one run with it so far but its a lot of fun.

For the price of NIMHs these days why not just get them from the UK/

Okay so my tx budget went out the water when I went into the shop to have a look what they have at least I won't feel the need to upgrade

@m4inbrain

LMT as in the gravedigger style monster trucks? Those things look awesome!

I'd agree with that. If I'd known these options were coming and I could likely of got a brushless version at about the same price by not getting the GPS etc that would have been my preferred option. They seem to be making good choices. Thumbs up.

Features: All-new chassis with narrowed front suspension pivots increases stability & traction More chassis cutouts create greater flex in desired locations Additional chassis cutouts improve engine cooling Hard composite suspension arms combined with the improved central chassis flex keeps the suspension geometry stable while the flex is transferred through chassis and radio plate to maintain traction. Narrower front suspension holders for improved geometry Longer lower suspension arm shock mounting holders compensate for the narrower suspension holders to maintain the ideal shock absorber geometry Lower down-stop mounting holders without the eccentric geometry make the car easier to set suspension down-stops All-new front aluminium bulkheads with a lowered design New front upper clamps feature integrated upper shock mounting positions, eliminating the need for a separate front shock tower Innovative front upper shock mounting directly on the upper clamps adjusted via shims provide more flex on front suspension New front upper bulkhead brace for easy flex adjustments. More stability with the brace installed, more traction and steering when the brace is removed Lightweight front upper arm holder design Ultra-compact and super lightweight receiver box moves the weight lower and closer to the centre of the chassis Radio plate with new servo holders moves the throttle servo more rearwards View full news article

Welcome to the forum @Borked!

Thats just lovely 😎

Welcome to the club and glad your enjoying it here You will get there if I don't go raceing I do recommend the mt10

Yeah I saw that video - it didn’t impress. Tomley RC had a different take on it though. He said he liked it because of the way it looked and that it was a licensed product. In the same way that we all have our preferred clothing brands etc. Not sure I entirely agree that a poor performing car is “worth it” because it’s licensed, but it was an interesting view on it. And probably a view that a lot of people will share (even if they don’t say it out loud). I don’t think they’ll have any problems selling a car with Hoonigan stickers all over it. And to be fair it looks cool as F

Hi mate, I've messaged you regarding the Taylor rc set of wheels. Thanks

Looks really good mate 👌

Doesnt look bad at all mate

Phew! Spent over 5 hours putting stickers on today. Water technique worked wonders, don’t think I could’ve done it otherwise. Well, a few creases and a little tearing around the wheel arches, but overall happy enough with the result. All ready for some shakedown runs now, shame I’m about to start a run of night’s! What do you think people?

Nothing too exciting but I finally got round to (hopefully) fixing a leaky shock on the EMB-T. Think it was probably caused by the black caps, from some cheap AliExpress copies, I swapped into the stock shocks not being quite the same size as the originals.

Had this little crawler out yesterday for a cheeky run after work, did not have the video cam with me so just a couple of phone pics

They are good aint they mate You should have saw Yrkoon driving his earler mate donuts and tumbling down hills lol

Mums new truck 😁 Will try and get some better pics of it over the weekend.

Gave the og vRS a proper clean, the first in about 6 months, in the meantime someone has pinched 3 wheel bolt cover 😠

This is the programming sheet The grey items are defaults So looking at the table above, if you want to change the cut off voltage to 3.4V/ cell it would be menu item 1, then value 5, then ok
