I haven't used it yet. I enjoy the builds more. Being paralysed from the neck down, makes it hard to drive them. But I'm building a new controller to make it easier. -

I'm aC5 Tetraplegic, ( have functional deltoid and/or biceps musculature. Can internally rotate and abduct the shoulder, which causes forearm pronation (lowering) by gravity. Wrist flexion is similarly produced. I can externally rotate the shoulder and cause supination and wrist extension. I can bend the elbow, but elbow extension can only be produced by gravity, or by forceful horizontal abduction of the shoulder and inertia or shoulder external rotation.) I use the screwdrivers in me teeth and wrestle the pieces of car around the desk with the little arm and wrist function i have. Pick the screws or any metal up with magnetic screwdriver. Need the odd bit of help. A vice on my desk helps for somethings. Takes hours to do even the slightest thing, but ultimately satisfying when done. Hope you like it. ( I'm showing off really OK. Got my modding head on again and modded the Pumpkin. Spent ages trying to get the front suspension right. tried one way but the wheels had a lot of flex in them. So bought yet more balls and rod end and turnbuckles. ( I could open a shop) then with fiddling got it better, But the wheels may catch the shocks on full lock. May need to limit turning on the Tx. So what did i do? Added 2 more shocks. FX10 front conversion. Oil adjustable shocks all round. CSC shock braces (fibre-lyte.co.uk ) for front, rear, and 5th/6th shock plate in and under frame. Centred servo. Kimbrough Servo saver Medium. Aluminium front bumper. Bigger anti roll bar wheels. Aluminium rear shock lower mounts. Enjoy. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.958898667482425.1073741837.100000869017992&type=1&l=d4cdc377c0 -
Custom Tamiya Boomerang. Lot of different balls, rods, braces till i got it right. Please bear in mind I'm a C-5 tetraplegic. I use the screwdrivers in me teeth and wrestle the pieces of car around the desk with the little arm and wrist function i have. Pick the screws or any metal up with magnetic screwdriver. Need the odd bit of help. Sawing and dremiling done in a vice on desk. Takes hours to do even the slightest thing, but ultimately satisfying when done. RadshapeRC rear shock tower for Hotshot, bit of a dremil to fit. And, my design, custom rear front shock tower made by Fibre-lyte.co.uk Fed up of scratching the underbody of my RC cars. So made custom skid tray https://www.facebook.com/martin.maury.3/media_set?set=a.1131860496852907.1073741841.100000869017992&type=3

Which KIMBROUGH servo saver you use? mid or large? FX10 and centred servo. -
Order off ebay. Got caught on import tax on the FX10 then again for shock mount. £9 + £14. So be aware.

Me too. Found this, but no quite the same. If you order 4, you get free delivery. If 3 other people want these? I'll order 4 sets. And just charge the P&P for UK post. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tamiya-Lunchbox-Midnight-Pumpkin-Hornet-adjustable-axle-mount-/301862125418?hash=item4648627f6a:g:rB8AAOSwhcJWQUBb

That's right. Could not paste text. Might mod the Pumpkin. Need to make underbody skid plate out of HIPS first. -

My Midnight Pumkin. I could not paste a write up. Anyone got an idea, to help me out? https://www.facebook.com/martin.maury.3/media_set?set=a.958898667482425.1073741837.100000869017992&type=3 -

Got 2 x Flysky FS-i6 TX's. Can I change the id's/GUID on both to match? I want my collection on both, so I can play with friend, and just chose a car from TX and go without binding each time.

It's for a car. Shouldn't it just be matching the correct channels on the TX stick to the channels on the RX for the single stick. -

I asked live chat at HK whether the Turnigy 5x is compatible with the XR4000. Told it is. Can anyone confirm this? -

EU warehouse still only has TGY-i6. Was wanting Turnigy x4x, 5x or 6x. -
OK I need radio gear 4ch or more to use in my rc car collection. I need the multi channel as I need to use 1 stick to do forward, reverse, left and right, because of my disability. Seen the Turnigy stuff on HK, but it's not in the uk warehouse. and if I order from inter. warehouse i'll end up paying import tax and post office charges. Only ones they have in uk are the TGY-i6 AFHDS
