  1. i used to carry my marder, baja and a backpack of tools/petrol when i was out and about with my RC. i used the shoulder straps from my big gym bags. One Rc over each shoulder and my backpack it was one hell of a workout some days walking 5 or 6 miles with all the weight but well worth it with some of the places i found

  2. I've never had a problem with the stock plastic case TBH. What sort of power are you putting through it?

     

    defiantly isn't coz of the power only running 27.5cc with dom pipe looks like something was misaligned/loose after my last rebuild and cracked the case but it was already showing signs of wear and tear the last time i took it apart

  3. Just halfway through a rebuild of my baja and found the gearbox case filled with cracks, so am looking to upgrade it but on a limited budget and think will have to go with the integy case as cant find any others that are in the same price range.

    Are the cases any good or should i look for a used alloy case from another brand ? And if i should go with another brand which one ??

  4. Well that month turned into almost a year

    Lipos are 40/50c 5000mah

    Motor temps now running at 60 degrees C

    Lipos now @ 40 degrees

    ESC @ 45 degrees

    Seems to run a lot cooler when tarmac running compared to grass/gravil/mud might just need to find some tires that grip better or by slightly lighter on the throttle

  5. i am now on my 3rd set of dif cases for my RC8Te in the last year is there any way to stop me melting them or can you get alloy ones because when they melt i also end up stripping half the gears ??

     

     

    forgot to say only had it out 6 times in the last year also

  6. lovefilm is getting better compared to when i first subed a couple of years back not quite the amount of films/tv as netflix but it is still well worth the sub after a couple of months cancel and wait for a email or letter offering you

  7. It was inevitable, bless the Chinese....

    KM will surely release a version? The accountants have probably said 'yes' already! Can't see them selling for peanuts, a lot more metal and plastic over a Baja clone, but at 600quid they would shift a handful...

     

    at that price you are aswell buying http://www.modelsport.co.uk/losi-5ive-t-roller-4wd-offroad-racing-truck/rc-car-products/375931 because you are going to have to change the engine and servos anyhoo

  8. I love how when down south gets a little bit of wind the news goes mental but every year NW Scotland gets 80 to 120 mph winds many times a year, and not a thing said about it

    FYI that is wind speed not gusts, gusts max I have seen is 158
