  1. Im hearing mumblings that Traxxas are starting some law suits again 🙄 against some small time Hop Up manufacturers. However, more interestingly I noticed Jennys RCs link in the law suit……

      Same old Traxxarse - always going after the little man who's of absolutely no threat to their business.

      They're my go-to for my HB Racing stuff - they've never let me down, item usually arrives next day if not the day after :good:

  3. XT90`s suck ha ha, just tried to solder a 90, iron set to 370, touched on and got solder to flow and pin collapsed into plastic, done what i should of done and used EC5`s

      XT90's rule! 370 is very hot. Tip: plug the XT90 you're soldering into another connector to dissipate heat and stop it deforming :good:

      I've used them quite a bit, think I got my Kraton for about £60 less than MS at the time! Dispatch times are woeful though, like 1990's dispatch times :lol:

  6. Got forced into bank payouts on eBay, so they will pay payments direct but can takes days and not instant like PayPal, so looks like I’ll be closing my account 

    1. J.K

      Really frustrating. I sold a few bits over the weekend and the funds only entered my bank acc this morning! Yet they expect you to ship your items within 2 days - before the payment has been processed?!

  7. Anyone on here using the DX5 Rugged, what do you think of it?

    1. J.K

      J.K

      Also, the black/grey version should also now have the latest updates (mine does). Initially only the Orange and Green had been updated but that’s no longer the case :good:

      I have the rugged since I’ve dropped my TX a few times on the trails. Also use it for boats so having it close to water is also a risk. For these reasons I like that it’s waterproof, dust proof and has a rubber skeleton around the edges! Like you Dan I had loads of Spekky RX’s so it was a no brainer for me. It runs like a champ, no issues whatsoever. Also has the little thumb thing on the wheel for one-handed driving. If you buy second hand try to get an updated one with the new scroll pad - The original one was pants!

      I was looking on there about a month and a half ago. I didn’t re-sign up either. The forum itself was absolutely dead. Most have just been using it as a free platform to sell for the last couple of years, so not too surprised really!

  12. God I miss RC :( Even just the community aspect!

    1. J.K

      J.K

      Even if you no longer own an RC you never lose the experience you've gained while owning them. Forums like this thrive with people like you who can help the newbies and offer advice. What i'm saying is, you can still be a valuable part of the community so welcome back! :)

  13. So I had no idea Horizon set up a .co.uk version of Tower Hobbies? Prices in GBP and shipping via DPD😮

    1. J.K

      J.K

      Yes!:lol: After a quick look around they're a fair chunk more expensive than MS.

  14. What's the smallest size compressor you would deem actually worth spending money on?

    Expected usage as cleaning RC, some painting, perhaps some air tool use in the future.

     

    6L total waste of time?

    10L pointless for anything more than pumping up a tire?

    24L fairly normal?

    1. J.K

      J.K

      I'm not sure i'd want to be keeping one in the house personally, the racket they make is pretty unbearable!

      I went for this one last year: https://www.screwfix.com/p/stanley-8216035scr011-24ltr-electric-compressor-with-5-piece-accessory-kit-240v/48089

       

      It's a 24L and probably gives me about 5-6mins of continuous spraying before the compressor needs to kick back in. You could probably get one cheaper, but I liked that this comes with a load of accessories.

       

      Probably one of the best RC investments i've made :good:

  17. Spent some time last night and some this morning converting all my ESCs and batteries to run on XT90 connectors.

     

    Love the smell of burning flux when you have a hang over (not)

      Can’t go wrong with XT90’s, all my rigs run them even my boat!

      It's also a great example of the nanny state in which we live today. If this happened in the 'States, the problematic drone would've simply been shot down and life would go on. What did our boys in blue do? Sit on the bonnets of their £50k X5's staring at the sky in stab-proof vests waiting for the batteries to run out. Who's actually in control in this country? The feds or the perps?

      I thought they went through a phase a couple of years back where "glitch-busters" had to be wired in between the two :lol:

       

      That was a while ago now, good to hear there are no issues, never tried a Savox so now may be the time.

      I was paying £60pm for both gas and electricity in our 2 bed terrace, that was about 6 months ago. £130pm sounds crazy!

      They handle best on the loose stuff. If you've only got grass forget it!
