yay the wild one is almost finished, need to do something about getting the front lights on it now 🙂

just got some pics of the lights, that should be good for late night or winter driving, just the cheapo fast trax ones plugged in batt channel on rx 🙂 dark room pic 🙂

Bashed them! Little run up the heath on my own today (not tearing off tights with ma teef 😉) Only about half a pack through the buggy as that's all that was left in the tank. I'd taken it to a mall a few days prior. Still waiting on those wing parts to come but they're in the country now. (might mod the 'stuctural' wing mount and delete the wing all together as I think it'll look awesome without it) Next up was the little beast in the middle... My care regime for them seams to work quite well. Water tends to 'bead up' on surfaces and the whole thing is easier to clean. and finally the Mad Max mobile on the left of the bench This thing rips on stock setup and battery. All I've changed are the rear tyres and removed the wing. All done. drained a pack through each of them. Small breakage on the WLToys today but that's all the damage there was and that part was hot glued on anyways. Edit: Spelling

The crawler course is looking pretty good. This is not all of it. The cement is dry enough to get a go hopefully before the rain starts.

Finished second in the oOple Off Road Open Series in the vintage class! This was my first ever race buggy way back when I started driving. The car to have at the time was the Associated B4, but I couldn't afford one of those so I ended up with the older B3 instead. Decided last year to dig it out and give it a rebuild so I could drive it again. It's the first time I've raced the car in about 13 years. I never had a single good result with this car, I don't think it ever even won a race, so I really wanted to change that so it can enjoy it's retirement with a good story to tell! I couldn't quite get the setup I needed unfortunately, the car would either bounce around wildly or grip roll aggressively depending on the changes I made. I decided to go with the grip roll as this was more predictable. The rain helped a lot on Saturday as the grip roll wasn't an issue in the damp. But the finals on Sunday were dry, which was a shame. Here the B3 stands with the backup chassis, just in case it was required (luckily it wasn't). And here I am with the P2 "trophy" (actually an oOple branded bottle opener 🤣). The pink and yellow Losi won overall, a really fast car in the dry that I simply couldn't catch, but I was beating it on Saturday in the rain, clearly two different setup directions! Also Modelsports own Simon in P3, finished just one point behind. I'm not sure whether he's a member on here, but thank you for the excellent racing if you are! Fantastic racing and an excellent weekend.

TRX4m, so i have finally bought a Traxxarse

I've had a crawler course in my garden for years. I had quite a few wall building projects with big piles of stone lying around so I've made the most of it for my crawlers. It went most of the way round the garden. I've made a few bits permanent with cement and stone. But most of it originally was stone and rock piled up. Like my stupid user name suggests I live on a steep hill. It's probably nearly 30ft from lowest to the highest point in the garden, so there's plenty of steep climbs and descents. Here's a picture from the cctv which shows most of the recent work I've done. It's good for 1/10 crawlers and good for mini crawlers. Trx4m is a great size for it. The terrain is very unforgiving (when the truck tumbles down it) , mainly sandstone and a strong mix of grit or sharp sand, so very grippy. I've done this so hopefully I can use it all year round. The other stone found in the local area gets slimey in the winter or very wet weather. The Trx4m tarantula is very good on the course. And here's the Bronco coming down a section.. And here's another little line in the Bronco... Thanks for looking and if anyone else wants to show your crawler course, please do.

OMG, i have done a very bad thing, maybe i need trussing up in the stocks and pelted with rotten fruit.....placed an order for my first ever Traxxarse

Ordered Sunday, dispatched Monday and delivered Wednesday - California US to my doorstep in England! Take note Evri you could learn a thing or two

Drove it, rolled it, crashed it, soaked it, got it stuck, winched it out, lent it out and had a blast. First proper RC day out I’ve had in a couple of years, took Krystal out to play in the SST quarry and had an absolutely fabulous time - it’s really reminded exactly what I love about this hobby.

Put some 1.9s on my F150 high trail.

yesterday i let my niece use the ftx mini crawler i won from here and she loved it, still a long ways to go for her controlling models properly but she had a blast and the wee transmitter was a lot better for her 🙂 fitted a alloy gear box guard to the wild one which looks like it should provide a lot of protection to it and the motor 🙂

Added some top hamper to the wee TRX4M

had the wild one out yesterday for its first test run and i love it, had a problem with range which i supsect was due to the slightly dodgy servo i put in it, found a much better servo for it but not tried it yet, also had to dremel a few wee bits to get my big batteries to fit nice 🙂 my wee neice was out to play with me as well on the first test run and was all excited for me to play with her again out side the house so let her try the grasshopper, she knows how to do full speed ahead into things or steering but not both at the same time lmao and no damage to the hopper 🙂 think ill get that wee mini ftx crawler i won from here charged up as the transmitter is tiny and a crawler will let her get used to the controls 🙂

Banned for starting the Ban Game. 😉

So, our Ring Bearer was a Tamiya TT-01E. As close to a replica of my own car as I could get.

Some 1/16th fun up the pump track... ...blessed with some glorious weather for it too 😄

I have been collecting up a set of parts to let me put together a new helicopter to round out my collection of small Eflite helis. I had an mCX, the s300mCX, the tandem twin mCX, but there was one last thing I needed to add to round out the set. I had one white body set, which I have used here as it seemed to fit better. Looks tidy enough, but it can look better.... when you turn the lights out 🙂 frame, landing skids, swashplate, tail and upper and lower blades all in 'glow in the dark' plastic.

I bought this Webley MkVI a few weeks ago, great fun and oddly for a co2 replica it’s a .22 👍

The Bronco got it this time... https://youtube.com/shorts/-KXQUXpFZtk?si=VxYWeogzGtB9vm58

Probably could have been more careful... Testing out the new bits on my crawler course.

Fitted the lay down servo on my tarantula. Had to bend the plastic frame and add a couple of spacers. I have overdrive front and underdrive rear on the tarantula. It's just for crawling so I think it's worth having. The only downside is side slopes. It will kick the rear out at little.

DMS have a few JC shells instock and they are all on offer 👍

Almost done 😀

Added some bits to the roof of the wee landy Ive got some hi clearance links arrived today and awaiting the brass ''C'' hubs with couple other bits So hopefully all may be here and get fitted over weekend

Oooh, just had a parcel land, opened it and thought it was the wrong colour on first glance…. Ready to be fitted….. It’s quite a bit darker than the online pics, i think if its backed with silver, it may brighten it up a touch. Next up is the Ir40 lmao….

Got a body and tyres for the Baja this morning. Decided to go without the side pods and seeing as the Flux version doesn't bulkout the area where the petrol engine goes i trimmed the body right back on both sides. Also cut down the underside plastic skid plate to make it better match the contours of the chassis.

So this LOOKS cool. Traxxas TRX18MT However, Ive been caught speeding (61mph in a 50mph on the motorway when it dropped to a variable limit 😞 ) Never mind!

My injora tarantula Trx4m. Can't call it Traxxas because there isn't one traxxas part on it. This thing is a little spider, I love it.

Absolutely brilliant day, only took the one picture as too busy driving otherwise.

Fitted this to this

Wheels mount 👍

Fitted this little lot To this

The tart is wearing some lip stick 🤣🤣🤣

@Lone-wolfone of us one of us one of us🤣

To the dark side you have come.

My Brown one has arrived all seems good so far, it all works and looks nice and scale, already done a little mod, and the front sticker seems pretty straight

Core RC tips and an adjustable torque screwdriver.

I expect I will be the only owner as only seen one other posted on here some years ago but what the hell. I've always liked Unimog's and missed out buying a UMG10 on release so been hankering for one for a while. Finally one came up in the UK so snapped it up. Despite a keen following apparently (I stand to be corrected) they won't be re-re'd as the blueprints were lost when when Axial sold to Horizon. Original plastic wheels and tyres have been replaced with military look metal beadlocks and Pro-Line BF Goodrich Krawler T/A KX 1.9 in Predator compound as apparently these are better for lighter rigs than the G8 one. As it came a with original wheels and centre caps and not wanting to lose them I printed a new set to go with the new wheels.

You guys all have decent projects on the go.👍👍👍

Some swag from Injora....yes i know what i said a while back but i guess they just have the stuff and it arrives fast this is the hop up parts for the Traxxas hi trail 4m F-150, stainless links, 180 48t motor and metal gears at -32% ratio....second order should be here in a couple of days parts for the new build T-Hunter Unitrak kit

Finally tested out some of the new sections of my crawler course. Not all the cement is dry enough. Will need a couple of little tweaks but pretty good. I'm testing the tarantula with 64mm tyres and then I'm going to try the 70mm. The Bronco is getting a go, so durability testing on that body.

A rarely seen in the wild and a RC unicorn for me an axial umg10.

if ur looking to get into racing hunt down a local club and see what they are running and what their opinions are 🙂

So it is done 😁

Super fast and also the box looks pristine, not left in the carpark to get wet like most Evri deliveries.

On road tyres and body for the Baja Flux 😊

Looks good man 🤌Love a Tamiya me. I'm desperate to get myself the BBX BB-01 but 300+ squid is beyond my fun money at the moment especially as i want to put the castle system in it and the slipper clutch like TomleyRC did

Stripped and cleaned the front arms and uprights and made a list of stainless steel fittings to reassemble the front end with. Also had the front shocks apart and refilled them with heavier oil so probably wont add stiffer springs. Was going to pull the front diff apart but not feeling the love to get covered in gooey oil right this minute 😁

Found a much nicer battery tray I will probably need to drill 2 new holes in the side plates, the TLR version has the stock mount holes drilled lower, but I’ll make it work 👍
