I've been using a couple of the Zeee's from amazon too. Seem decent quality though I'm a little suspicious of the C rating! Other wise no issues at all!
@James RC Cheers James!
It's a cracking spot - not so extreme that you destroy your rigs but lumpy enough to have some fun. Gets a bit flinty in places which can ruin the chassis so we just stay away from those spots.
A solid hour's drive but well worth it for a good day out!
Enjoyed a good bash with another forum member a couple fo days ago. Smashed 8 packs and over 50,000mah through the thing in glorious sunshine 🙂
Only broke the rear arm on the last pack of the day - perfect timing!
This'll be raced in my 1:8 ebuggy. Most are running HV lipo's now so i'll be eating dust if I ran standard lido's 😂 If you can't beat 'em join 'em as they say!
Postie just delivered what'll probably be the most expensive battery i'll ever buy in my life😆 never thought i'd say this about a battery but it's a thing of beauty!😍
An electric screwdriver, £15 from Argos! And the most impressive thing? I ordered it at 2pm today and 5hrs later it arrived on my doorstep 😮 beat that scAmazon!
I bought my first Slash on the back of binge-watching Skatepark pain!
I'm pretty sure the Canadian authorities banned them from running RC's in the city on insurance grounds so i guess that out an end to the good stuff 😞
I think CML are the UK distributor for FTX. Depending on the issue you may have more luck with them. Seems that the model shop just wants to sell you parts
Did anybody watch Medic/Sparks when he used to do Urban Assault and Skatepark Pain with his mates? Now THAT was proper entertainment. He's been a bit mainstream since.
He's been bitching and moaning almost non-stop on FB over the last couple of years about how he has over 3m subscribers but such low views per vid. He then managed to convince himself that Youtube has some sort of vendetta against him and aren't pushing new vids to his subscribers so that YT has to pay out less
That's when he really lost me and i've barely watched him since.
Can’t be arsed with any of it TBH. I hope they all retire and all their BS will hopefully follow them. I’ve watched Medic for years but he’s become a real whiney little brat on social media over the last couple of years.
Kevin’s vids have just got lazy - all these live videos that don’t need editing and reviewing nothin but AliBaba tat.
It doesn’t seem that long ago that Kevin started some sort of beef with Tomley that then somehow got Aussie RC involved.
There’s enough crap going on in the world without grown men making “content” about arguing over toy cars. Grow the F up the lot of you or just stop the YT and social media thing - it’s embarrassing for our hobby!
Finished tinkering with my HB E819 race rig. Fresh oils and a couple of upgraded parts fitted and she's ready to race once all this crap's over and the tracks reopen! 🙂
My latest race rig, HB E819. Hoping to get some good racing in this year once all this crap's over with!
Running HW RX8 Plus ESC, Xerun 4268 G2 1900kv motor and Savox SB2273SG 28kg HV servo. XTR diff and shock oils. A Exotek upgrades too!
Last time out with the Blackjack I managed to hit a metal pipe which was sat just below the surface. Managed to limp her back to shore before she took on too much water! Got home and started searching online for a new hull which can only be found stateside for a cheeky £280!
Deciding I had nothing to lose I attempted my first ever fibreglass repair. Pleased with the fix but the paint job's a little ropey - once she's on the water you won't see it anyway!
Before:
After:
I bought a cheap compressor air line to keep in the shed. Cuts the time needed to clean the car in half! I blow all the dust off, agitate whatever's left with a paint brush then blow off again. Give everything a coat of GT85 and leave to dry.
GT85 is better than WD40 in that GT85 tends to repel dirt whereas WD40 attracts it.
