Guys, check it out... *whip* We put together some questions from our community for the well known RC YouTuber, Kevin Talbot: Great job guys, thanks for all the questions and to Kevin also for putting together a great video on them all!

We are introducing a new way to show our appreciation to helpful members on MSUK-Forum, with Star Members. Every month, myself and the forum staff will be picking out one member that we feel has put in some of their time to benefit the community. As a thankful gesture, we will be awarding the member a £10 Modelsport voucher. We hope this can grow to make more than just one person a star member each month (as picking just 1 person out of such a good bunch has already proven tricky!), the more our community puts in, the more we can give back. What we are looking for in a Star Member this month: News posts. Something we always struggle with is good frequent news! Welcoming and helping new members. The onboarding process is important to keeping these new members happy and active. To kick it off we've already discussed several members and we want to congratulate and thank @TWINSET as our first Star Member. Who we all know as being excellent with news and Tamiya knowledge! This is open to all registered members and we won't be awarding the same member twice consecutively. Even if they are super stars!

During COVID, some people have suffered while others have flourished. MSUK-Forum was fortunate to be the latter, with a spring of life during the lockdowns, where people turned to their hobbies and computers. We are stronger than ever and I felt that as a community, thanks to our active visitors and Gold Members, we can give a little back. Mental health has been a real challenge, COVID has pressed down on those harder with existing conditions and also for those who've never had any issues before, for the first time some people have mentally struggled with the isolation, sudden losses of loved ones and financial burdens. We've donated £100 on behalf of MSUK-Forum to Models for Heroes. Models for Heroes (M4H) is the first charitable organisation in the UK to support the use of model making hobbies within former and current Armed Forces and Emergency Service Personnel in the United Kingdom. This is an excellent small, transparent charity who will soon return to organising meetups for those needing support to build model kits together. It's a great cause and fitting for our community being hobby enthusiasts ourselves! Check them out here: https://www.modelsforheroes.org.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/modelsforheroes/ Another cause we have recently supported is a new Facebook Group that has been setup by fellow RC hobbyists, RC MHAP who is a really supportive group of people for those who share the love of RC cars but also struggle with stress, anxiety and mental conditions, it's a great place to vent, relax and find some friends with similar interests! We recently arranged to get them stickers printed so they can start getting the name out there a bit more and raising money for charities. It's a new group and we will hopefully see some big things from them. You can join the RC MHAP Facebook Group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/788724411850670 If you are interested in the stickers, please see the post in the group. They are also doing a video collab with YouTuber Claire RC, if you are interested in getting involved then see the posts in the group before Sunday. It is my full intention to keep donating to charity on behalf of the forum and perhaps start fundraisers ourselves. 🙂A big thank you to everyone here and I hope you are all staying healthy and safe. Take care, Nick and the team.

To keep us all in good spirits and make the lockdown a little more enjoyable, we will be giving away a £20 voucher for Modelsport, every week, for 10 weeks! That's £200! and hopefully life will be a bit more back to normal by the time it is all gone! The first draw will be on Sunday 3rd May at 6pm, then continue every Sunday there after, for 10 weeks. This will only be for our Gold Members, which for just £12 for a whole year, you have a chance to enter into all our prize draws. So far in the last 4 months we have given away over £1100 of gear! and we hope after the lockdown, we can start arranging proper physical prizes again. If you are a Gold Member, keep an eye out for the competition threads in the Gold Member section. Being a Gold Member is only £12 for a whole year and helps this great forum keep going. Think of it as a little way to say "thanks" if the site has helped you out one time, it's cheaper than a takeaway dinner! And in return you get entered into these great prize draws. We have so far given away THOUSANDS of pounds of models to our Gold Members over the years. Shout out to Modelsport for supporting the forum, thank-you!

Last month we introduced MSUK-Forum Star Members. Where at the end of the month we thank members who have stood out in contributing to the community, plus as a thankful gesture award them with a £10 Modelsport voucher. In May, our first Star Member was @TWINSET for his contribution to news and for the helpful Tamiya related info he provides our members. This month, we'd like to thank the following Star Members! @ChrisT - for his contribution to news and general involvement in the community @Garry - for his passion in the hobby and writing detailed and helpful posts, he really has mastered RC! THANK-YOU. What we are looking for in a Star Member this month: News posts. Something we always struggle with is good frequent news! Welcoming and helping new members. The on-boarding process is important to keeping these new members happy and active. Generating new conversations and interesting topics. Keep those cobwebs away! Star members is open to all registered members and we won't be awarding the same member twice consecutively. Even if they are super stars!

A PERFORMANCE RIG BUILT TO ENDURE. When hitting the trail, you want to do it with confidence -- and the answer is the Enduro Sendero HD Titanium Trail Truck!At the heart of the Enduro is our revolutionary StealthR X gearbox. Although the exterior appears to have a conventional 3-gear transmission look, the inside is far from conventional. The StealthR X features the ability to adjust the rear drive ratio independently of the front drive across three levels: stock overdrives the front end 5.7% (installed in RTR), option 1 provides a one-to-one drive ratio front-to-rear (available separately), and option 2 overdrives the front end 11.83% (included with RTR).Feeding the power to the tires are 3-piece telescopic driveshafts with an extruded aluminum center section, universal front drive axles, and hardened steel ring and pinion gears. With the Enduro drivetrain, delivering useful power will not be an issue.We relocated the steering link assembly from the conventional location to behind the axle (BTA). This feature greatly improves approach angle and front-end clearance, making rough terrain much easier to handle.The Enduro Trail Truck with Sendero body comes ready for adventure right out of the box, with performance-driven Reedy Power electronics. The ultra-smooth and powerful 16-turn, 5-slot brushed crawler motor and Reedy Power SC480X electronic speed controller with T-plug connector supply ample power to this tough rig. Controlling the beast on the trail is our 3-channel XP130 2.4GHz radio and Reedy Power high-torque 1320MG metal-gear servo.With all this packed in one box, we know the Enduro Trail Truck is ready for the trail -- are you?The #40120 Combo includes a Reedy Compact Balance Charger and Reedy 7.4V LiPo Battery with T-plug.Sendero HD Titanium Features Reedy Power SC480X electronic speed controller NEW Reedy Power high-torque 1523MG metal gear servo Steel servo horn Adjustable width rock sliders New box diorama Sendero HD high-strength polycarbonate body with NEW color, a cab-only design with molded utility bed Ocho beadlock wheels Adjustable front injection-molded bumper Updated plastics Chassis FeaturesBTA STEERING and ALUMINUM STEERING PLATES: Behind-the-axle steering provides better approach angles, more clearance, and a cleaner look. Bolt-on aluminum steering plates allow for more adjustment, strength, and future modification for the user.INTEGRATED SERVO WINCH MOUNT: Mounting a winch directly to the chassis is the strongest and most reliable spot on any trail rig. Positioned alongside the steering servo for overall chassis balance and weight distribution.THREADED ALUMINUM SHOCK BODIES: Threaded aluminum and fluid-filled, these shocks keep the vehicle stable on the trail and retain oil even in the roughest terrain.REEDY POWER CRAWLER MOTOR: The Reedy Power 5-slot 16-turn brushed crawler motor provides ample torque with a smooth power delivery. This allows for slow precise acceleration while maintaining consistent power over rough terrain and obstacles.REEDY POWER ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROLLER (ESC): The water resistant SC480X brushed ESC is specifically programmed for crawling with proportional forward/reverse, dual auxiliary power output leads, LiPo low-voltage cutoff protections, and T-plug connector.RADIO and SERVO: The XP130, 2.4GHz, 3-channel radio, and receiver, together with a 1320MG (metal gear) water-resistant servo pushing out 173 oz-in (12.5kg-cm) of torque at 6V is the perfect setup for keeping the Enduro under control on the trail.STEALTHR X GEARBOX WITH ADJUSTABLE OVERDRIVE GEARS: At the heart of the Enduro is our revolutionary StealthR X gearbox. Although the exterior appears to have a conventional 3-gear transmission look, the inside is far from conventional. The StealthR X features the ability to adjust the rear drive ratio independently of the front drive across three levels: stock overdrives the front end 5.7% (installed in RTR), option 1 provides a one-to-one drive ratio front-to-rear (available separately), and option 2 overdrives the front end 11.83% (included with RTR).Body FeaturesALL IN THE DETAILS.

The Little Car Company are developing the Wild One MAX for release in 2022 under licence from Tamiya. Rather than being 1/10th scale, the Wild One MAX will be an impressive 8/10th scale, and you will not need an R/C controller, because it is big enough to drive yourself! Developed in partnership with the company behind the Bugatti Baby II and Aston Martin DB5 Junior – The Little Car Company – the Wild One MAX will be a rear-wheel drive, off road electric buggy. At approximately 3.5m long (137.8”),1.8m (70.8”) wide and weighing around 250kg (551lbs), the Wild One MAX will take up a bit more space than the R/C kits of the past. But just like the original, you get the opportunity to assemble these models at home. Specifications The Wild One MAX will have a spaceframe chassis with four-wheel coil-over suspension and rear wheel drive. It gets the power to the ground through 15” off-road tyres on lightweight wheels. The buggy’s braking system includes hydraulic Brembo disc brakes on each corner, backed up by regenerative braking to maximise range. When taking to the driving seat, customers will find an adjustable composite seat with a three-point seatbelt, digital gauges and a racing steering wheel. This allows drivers between 160cm (5’ 3”) and 195cm (6’ 5”) to get comfortable. There are even multiple driving modes including Novice, Eco & Race, which offer different top speeds, throttle mappings and power outputs according to driver skill level. Performance The base Wild One Max comes with a top speed of 48 km/h / 30 mph and a peak power output of 4kW (5.5 bhp). It has a single PowerPack onboard with a capacity of 2kWh and a range of up to 40km (25 miles), depending on terrain and driving style. However, if you would like to go faster or further, several of the modular PowerPacks can be added to increase the performance and range. Hop Ups & Upgrades As any big kid Tamiya fan knows, half the fun following the build of your Tamiya R/C car was delving into Tamiya’s upgrade catalogue to choose your Hop-Ups. The Wild One MAX will be no exception. 30 mph not fast enough? There is a Hop-Up for that. Yearning for a four-point racing harness? The Little Car Company can help. High performance brakes and suspension? They’ve got that covered too. One more thing…. On top of the individual Hop-Ups for the Wild One MAX, there will also be complete ‘Packs’, which can be added to your buggy. For example, a Tarmac Pack will provide owners with road-biased tyres and mudguards. And taking it one stage further, for those who wish to roam both off and, on the roads, there will be three Road Legal Packs so that the adventure can continue way beyond the workshop. These packs add the components required to build the vehicle to be compliant with L6e or L7e Quadricycle legislation in Europe, or Neighbourhood Electric Vehicle legislation in the USA. Parts will include brake lights, turn signals, reflectors and rear-view mirrors so you have everything to make your vehicle fully road legal. While it is still early days in the development process, we will be trying to bring back many of the classic elements of the Tamiya build, which fans enjoyed most. For example, do you remember those sticker sheets you used to carefully apply at the end? They’re back, but they’re now as tall as you are! We really do want to hear from the fans on what they would like to see in the development of the Wild One MAX, so please sign up at WildOneMax.com and become part of the community and tell us what you would like to see on the new car. “We are massively flattered and thrilled by the launch of the Wild One Max by The Little Car Company under official licence from Tamiya. Tamiya assembly R/C kits, especially our unique buggy range, have captured the imaginations of generations for over 40 years. The prospect of a nearly full-size Tamiya buggy, which can be built and driven, is truly exciting and will be the ultimate vehicle for any Tamiya fan.” Pete Binger, CEO, The Hobby Company – Tamiya UK Distributor “As a child of the 80s, developing an almost full-size Tamiya model, which you can actually drive, is a dream come true. We are honoured to be working with the Tamiya team on the project to bring one of their most iconic models to life for a new generation. Because it is still early days in the project, we have the opportunity to include the feedback and feature suggestions from the legions of Tamiya fans out there. We encourage anyone with imaginative ideas and feedback around the engineering of the project to sign up to the newsletter at WildOneMax.com. We can’t wait to get these on, and off, the road in 2022!” Ben Hedley, CEO, The Little Car Company Reserving a build slot The Tamiya Wild One MAX is expected to cost from £6,000 / €7000 / $8,250 plus local taxes and is planned for global release in 2022. Customers can reserve a build slot from today at WildOneMax.com with a £100 fully refundable deposit. Build slots are allocated on a “first come, first served” basis. If you would like to hear more about the project and to sign up for the latest news, please visit: WildOneMax.com Please note final specifications and pricing are to be confirmed before production commences.

The GT24 RS is a 1/24th Retro Micro Rally Car that's inspired by the classic era of 70's and 80's Rally Car history. The body is a nostalgic nod to the classic RWD Rally pioneers, but our version stays firmly in 4WD territory, offering the best in Retro Looks and a Modern RC Driveline. This model further expands our Brushless 1/24th core range and utilising all our expertise in genre defining RC products. With brushless power as standard, and sporting features like 2.4Ghz radio gear, a fast responsive hobby grade steering servo, Rally Pin Tyres and a Fully Ballraced 4WD transmission, our 1/24th Rally Cars not only look the part, they perform way beyond peoples perception of a 'Micro' vehicle.

Another land rover based scale release from D1rc this week... This time in D90 guise.... There's something about the stance I like.... Although... perhaps... the balance between scale realism and actual field capability has been tipped heavily one way with this setup... Due for European release soon

The SCX24™ B-17 Betty™ 4WD is a micro scale model that celebrates Axial® Racing’s 15th year of RC adventuring by bringing back the legacy body, Rock Lizard tires and Rockster wheels of the original AX10 Scorpion. Fully ready-to-run, it will please new RC drivers and long-time Axial® enthusiasts alike with classic crawling performance plus Limited Edition collectability. Every SCX24™ B-17 Betty™ is one-of-a-kind, adding to the value of your purchase. It arrives in a specially designed collector’s box with scale garage artwork. You’ll find a commemorative coin inside that features the Axial® 15-Year Anniversary logo, in an attractive case and available only with this model. Each RTR’s finished body includes a 15-year anniversary decal, and its chassis side rail is laser-etched with the anniversary logo and your model’s unique production number. Although highly collectible, the SCX24™ B-17 Betty™ is meant for more than just admiring on display. Any location, indoors or outside, can become an exciting crawling challenge. If you’re stuck at work and need a break, crawl across your desk. For younger drivers, a messy room becomes the perfect obstacle course. Thanks to its water-resistant electronics, you can run the B-17 Betty™ outdoors without worries. Grab some twigs and marble-sized rocks, dig a few holes, and in minutes you’ve got a course to conquer. Like the 1/10 scale SCX10™ platform, the SCX24™ chassis features rugged, sturdy steel C-channel frame rails with bracing to keep components intact and aligned. Steel dogbones and front and rear axles provide strength and durability for tough climbs and rough trails. Even at this small scale, the combination of coilover shocks and durable plastic suspension links delivers the crawling performance you know and expect from Axial®. The SCX24™ includes everything you need to get going. The product is fully assembled, and we've included batteries for the transmitter, and a LiPo battery pack and USB charger. INCLUDED: Axial AX-4 2.4GHz, 3 Channel Radio System Axial AS-1 Servo Axial AE-6 ESC/Receiver Combo USB Charger (DYNC1062) Dynamite 88T 030 Brushed Electric Motor Dynamite 350mAh 2S LiPo 7.4V Battery Pack (DYNB0012) 4AA Batteries for the Transmitter Source: LiveRC
