  1. I have for sale my used but in perfect working order hudy automatic executive comm lathe with hudy diamond bit. It is supplied in the hudy hard protective box and as im no longer racing just bashing its gonna gather dust so id rather it went to a good home! It is advertised on ebay and i would prefer paypal or cash on collection, i will post but remember its heavy so postage is around a tenner signed for, i'm in the North Yorkshire area. I'm running the auction on ebay for a while with a buy it now of
  2. Hi there, ive got a TT01 brushless drift setup for sale (in rc elec sales) in virtually as new condition can add controllers etc if required? pm me if you're interested
  3. ************** Latest Update **************** Well the rally blocks came this morning (non tamiya) and im well happy, using them with foam instead of inserts as you seem to get a greater contact point when the tyre is under load. The tyres ive opted for are softer than the tamiya's and are semi knobbly in the tread. I fitted tyres and charged up a batt and went for a play! Loved the handling over compacted snow and ice and grip and control felt great, i stayed close to home so a combination of uneven tarmac, gravel and thick ice! kept on going right through the snow and ice and at the end of the test run i was pretty happy, i opened up to find the nubuck covered back had done a great job with droplets of water still beading on the bag like you get on a newly waxed car. No water seems to have penetrated but as inner electrics are pretty waterproof anyway im well chuffed with that! Heat wise, esc and motor are fine and batt's are pretty normal really so cold weather will obviously help but the bag is fully breathable and seems to be workin well! Fine tuning wise im waiting for everything to dry naturally then ill have a good strip and examine but really i think im gonna change the gearing slightly to make it a bit punchier as i could feel the torque was there i just want a bit more oomph off the line lol! Also ill look into a better way of attaching the bag possible stitch it to some 3m hd velcro (if you've read all this thread you'll see a use it a lot but its great!) All in all a great day's fun lol! Hopefully its gonna dry up soon i dont fancy muddy runnin till im happy with the car lol! Ill post pics when i can, happy xmas folks and have a good new year all!!!
  4. OPEN TO OFFERS FOLKS! Not gonna ebay it till feb/mar time so im offerin it here first PM me or post your offer here remember item is PRISTINE! If no sensible offers made i might strip the whole thing and sell it piece by piece instead and id get more for it im offerin it here as a courtesy to everyone here this forum has helped me greatly so come on folks just PM me with a sensible offer!
  5. Hi bud, yeah i did some soldering last night id been puttin it off cos id loads of other to do aswell! Using corally connectors as ive plenty spare and switched the motor for a 13T Ive just skimmed. As for keepin the electrics cool I use a thermelectric motor cooler before runs which helps like you owuldn't believe, that plus ive done the bag now, its waterproofed with nubuck spray which keeps the bag breathable so plenty of air can still circulate, its not perfect but if i can keep most of the bad stuff out i should be fine! So im nearly there and dying to go out for a bash but still awaiting tyres from abroad prob be after xmas now but since its snowin bad i guess i can wait! Once again id love for people to start posting their rally model types, weights and gear ratios for general runnin. Cheers guys
  6. Ill take 35 delivered for the Brushless system alone (had virtually no use an i can get that on ebay) its a 35A Esc.
  7. LATEST UPDATE Ive ordered some rally blocks so while i wait i thought id finish most of the rest of the car off. Started by building a kick plate for underneath, wanted it to be removeable just in case so i got an oversize door hinge and cut it down and drilled two screw holes which i bolted through next to the steering. I used 3m heavy duty velcro along the plate edge and bolted its very strong certainly enough as im going to tape the bottom anyway to protect the screws. You can make out the red at the front, this is a small piece of wire to secure the hinge to the front bumper, add the foam bumper on top to tidy it up (im filing the sharp edges of where ive cut down for tidiness). I fit some road tyres i had so i could test electrics and installed 55/25 gear ratio to start with, ive used a 12t double motor for now after a few test runs ill see what i prefer. I used two water balloons with some insulation tape to seal the receiver as best as reasonably possible. So currently looking like this, got 26mm clearance rear and 24mm at front. I wanted to try a bag idea instead of an interior box so i got an old dust bag from a cheapie sander (unused) and sliced the bottom and temp fixed it to the bottom (tape which im hopin as i plan to black tape it anyway will work nicely) So certainly for dry running im hoping this will work nicely. Still plenty of access ........ Im thinkin of gettin some waterproof spray for the material for muddy runnin. Possibly a little high maintenance for most people but i dont mind as i enjoy strippin and cleanin my cars lol! Ill have to test a few times to see might work on a box aswell! Hopefully tyres wont be too long and in the meantime ill see what else i can come up with! If anyone out there could weigh their cars with or without battery and post for a reference that'd be great, gear ratios people use for different tracks with motors would be useful too and maybe i can compile a reference for everyone, let me know what you think folks ...
