A few more for your perousal

Possibly some, there was another guy shooting and lots of phones. Non from me as only shot stills.

Don't use that yet without brakes, will only end badly

You're brakes are missing completely? Should look like that?

Anyone had a dashcam fitted by Halfords. Im happy to do the front but the rear looks a real pain to do.

2 new steering links from UKmonster for the clodbuster not that I have 2 servos to put on at the moment though 🤣

If you look below the rear door handle you will see the warped bit, i did use 2 squirts there though

First off....your idle is probably a bit high, but the wheels will turn a bit when they are off the ground. Thats normal. Your brake, however, is knackered. The servo isn;t moving the rod, and that pivot shaft should NOT come out like that. Needs to be stripped and fixed. The upright arm on the brake linkage should be near vertical, not sloped forward at that angle. If you look at the slack in that link, there should be none. I have a proper plug to seal off the exhaust...but I am just as likely to stuff a rag over the pipe, or pinch a fuel line if it's easy to get to.

You need to re do the throttle/brake linkage, it doesnt look right. Also check your actual brakes without the engine running. just power the electrics on without starting the engine. See if you can get the brakes to work that way

Pretty sure the hole is meant to be there: https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/traxxas-front-bulkhead-left-right-116-slashe-revorallysummit-34304 You can clearly see the hole there. Servo does sound to be dying. Very common, theres upgrades out there from Power HD etc

can pinch the fuel line to stop engine getting fuel or cover the pipe end will cut it out brother i cant see the video so cant tell if idles ok

Good pics, nice rigs will there be any video from the event

good drone that lone my buddy owed one half hour flight time too 👍

cool run down the woods brother looks fun that 🤘

I put some hot glue to hold the wiring in place on my trx4 shell and it warped it, the bit that warped i put 2 squirts of hot glue there!

Far cheaper to make your own.

Hi all. Just thought i would show you my latest addition to my collection 😁

having agreed to purchase the Fimi X8 mini drone this home build is on back burner but will still happen

looking good mate

I'm at the UK scaler nationals today shooting 📸 expect there's some of you guys here also. Happy trailing

It isint so noticeable in that pic either tbh, i was so annoyed when i did it, still am tbh as the model was like a week old at most when i did that

Well i crashed my Blackout today, had just got done with the run in on the new engine and took it for a blast and hit a railway sleeper, it shot it in the air and it landed upsides down and cracked the shell and broke the body mount, kept on going and noticed it was down on a front corner and the wheel was hanging off, so that put an end to it, got home and then noticed the tuned pipe mounting snapped off the exhaust too, so out with the welder and thats now as strong as new again, i cant say as good as new as my mig is a gasless type so doesnt give such a neat weld but its fixed, repaired the shell with superglue just to hold it in place then plastic welded it and put hot glue on the inside so that will hopefully live another few outings and did a strip down to find that the front arm hinge pin holder on 1 side was bent and the other holder was snapped, thought i was going to have to order replacement’s from abroad but was very surprised modelsport had them in stock! The body mount i just epoxy resined back together again but that probably wont last long. The most surprising bit was the railway sleeper moved about a foot forward and them things are well heavy!
