  1. I kinda wanna sell 6/7 RCs, and build something ‘special’. A mental X maxx, a Brushless Losi 5t or a Tamiya Big Truck…….

      I have had the urge to do this sort of thing before too....

       

      I look at things like Tamiya Clod Busters, and think about a proper monster build based on one.... or making an oversized statement piece like a largescale tank or half track ... but I usually don;t bother. Over sized vehicles tend to get sidelined faster with me as its just such a lot of work and effort to take one out anywhere. Build a 6 wheeled 3 engined monster Baja and find its too bulky to carry.

       

      Thats why I ended up building a 6x6 Hyper.....because it was something different and usable!

  2. Any suggestions for some decent (but not mega pricey!!!) wireless headphones?  Want to get my lad some for his birthday that he can use for listening to music in his bedroom and also connected up to the soundbar when he's playing on his xbox in the lounge. Thanks 

  3. Scumbags have decided to break into my brothers empty property he is currently developing and steal nothing but Makita powertools. Entered and left via a small living room window. Thankfully they did not damage anything inside or my 1:1 parked in the garage. I guess it could have been worse....

     

  4. Are the metric screws for our RC cars Fine pitch or Coarse pitch?

  5. does anyone know what this big pipe is pleease?

    there is something wrong with my car and i just cant seem to figure it out. loss of coolant and overheating but if i loosen the expansion tank cap slightly then it doesnt overheat. it seems like when i tighten the cap then it overheats and that big pipe gets really solid like its over pressure and when the pipe is soft, it doesnt feel like theres any water either.

  6. got my DC1 on ebay, the truck no one wants, so i get a very cheeky offer of £90......really, some prat in Birmingham

  7. Any BT / Openreach engineers on here?  Or even Virgin Media?  Just want to know if they are likely to agree to run fibre cables around the side of the property to enter into the property round the back, where the lounge is, as I really don't want a load of holes / disturbance to the front room and the lounge / front room wall as we've just recently finished decorating both rooms...

  8. So, I've been fined for going through the ULEZ in London twice..... My Van is a 2019, Euro 6, and ULEZ Compliant according to every other website other than the TFL...... Ive gone on Auto Trader, found registrations of other vans identical to mine and theyre compliant..... Ive appealed with a picture of my V5C stating Euro 6 etc...... wish me luck!!!

  9. To be petty or not? Brand new drill ordered from Amazon won't release the drill bit (the pin that holds the chuck has sheared off). I've arranged a return, but obviously the brand new drill bit I put in will be going with it. Should I be cheeky and ask for a replacement bit as well?

  10. So idiots are panic buying fuel again 😡 

  11. The bills are pilling in, need to get storm damage repaired at back of house, car has just had £250 spend and need a new washing machine

  12. Just an observation... looking at MX / Enduro boots at the moment, and the two I'm most interested in are the Leatt and the Alpinestars.  First is made in China, second in Thailand.  Now, in the US, by far their biggest market, the 5.5 for example are circa 300 usd, in the UK they are circa 220 gbp.  Near enough the exact same price converted.  What else can you think of that we like on here that are made in the far east, and cost... 50-75% more on average in the UK than they do in the US...???!!!

  13. Royal Fail do my nut, bought some bits from wheelspin on Wednesday, due for delivery Friday but rebooked it for today because  I was at work, looked at the tracking this morning and it’s no where to be since, so it will be 5 day + for deliver for something that should have been 48hour, about time we just scrapped them useless idiots 

  14. Made a start on sorting out one of my sheds last night.  And found loads of stacking boxes full of craft things  mostly RC  i have collected just incase i need them.  But  need to have a cull  as i don't think im ever going to  need this much.   Anyone else have this propblem.

  17. With parcel force when do you know if you're gonna get hit with import duties? 

  18. Our family cat (my avatar) died this morning.  Went to let him out and he was just motionless in his bed.  Seemed fine last night, must have been a heart condition we weren't aware of.  All devastated, particularly the kids, he was one of the family... ☹️

      Far too shiny inside for me. Especially as the missus is the one who uses the car most, and she uses it as a place to store all the spare dust we don;t need in the house......

       

      plus...why, for thje love of god, do they assume that becuase it's 'electric' and all new....that it needs to look like a sci-fi filmset inside. Can I have one with no fancy trim, fewer lights on the inside than the outside, no fake carbon fibre... and fewer buttons than this keyboard. Especially as all it neewds is a pedal to stop, one to go....and a thing to make it turn.

       

      You know...something that looks like a car, not a spaceship?

  20. My kids go back to school tomorrow.  but just found out one teacher was sacked for having and sharing pictures of kids. Even worse another male  teacher still has a job  even though they were caught taking pictures of the girls.

  25. Went to a local Facebook RC club/group meet today. What a poop show.
    Maybe 25+ people there and although friendly enough people there it was really dangerous. 
    Was held on a small industrial estate type area. I was there for maybe 15 minutes before I saw some poor guy (maybe in his late 40's early 50's) get wiped out by a huge 10kg+ monster truck. Literally took his legs out and smashed him to the ground.
    Driver was apologetic obviously but there was no safety or basic rules arranged by any of the so called club leaders. 
    I've spoken to the guy who got hit and he's actually in a lot of pain now, ...hurt his back & ribs as well as a few cuts/bruises. 
    I stayed for only a short while after that accident then left. Didn't even bother taking my RC truck out of the car in the end so slowly discharging my batteries now back to storage charge. Waste of a day.

      For most parks and open spaces, councils can simply get s by-law drafted to ban it in that space. All they need is s reason, and s series of complaints or an injury is probably grounds if the council want to do that. It's the world we live in.
