i would never run my rc without a failsafe,i did when first started out, had a runaway but was lucky that it hit a bump, jumped and landed in a thick bush, only suffered shreaded tyres,that was my lesson learnt

and tbh i think running rc without a failsafe/killswitch especially near playing children is BAD and pretty irresponsible imo

never used one but i use an elastic band and a fail safe to set the steering into a circle so it just spins around i walk up and turn it off. simple

I think all road users should be made to take a course on the results of careless road use..interviews from people who have had injuries etc...brings it home pretty fast

No i meant what i said both cyclist and moor bike riders

should have been motor

I'll prob go for one of these next. Normal plumber fit job.

I fit these: http://www.screwfix.com/p/fernox-tf1-compact-filter-22mm/70208?kpid=KINASEKPID&cm_mmc=GoogleLocal-_-Datafeed-_-Heating and Plumbing&cm_mmc=Google-_-Product Listing Ads-_-Sales Tracking-_-sales tracking url&gclid=Cj0KEQiAzNfDBRD2xKrO4pSnnOkBEiQAbzzeQVVqv8qU7DiAG0IimEZDzVVmcegf6hpYTFuBQDdv0CUaAhz98P8HAQ

They don't need the top removed to clean them, great idea, isolate, remove magnet, flush from the pressure of the system using the drain off, job done, now I hate magnacleans & there bloody leaking o rings!!

Powerflush & a mag filter is being pushed my the manufacturers, if it's not done they try to weasel out of a warranty claim it's on the benchmark (filled out on job completion) so it's a must really. There is even a section in the new vaillant manual where they ask you to test the water after a powerflush to check if it's clean enough!

again, another get out clause imo.

Aw man I miss my bikes so much.

Side stand so much easier too use over centre stand!

Pipes an essential must if needs be get pipe that offers removable baffle

Or, swap it for a Honda 90...nice, steady ride, fairings to protect the legs, nice and light.... ;p

Easy bro it's mick I'm sorry I've not been on for a while mate but I got ill and then thought that I was getting better and then wham!!! It goes n slaps me right in the face again!!! N it's only today that I'm starting to feel a bit better, n I hope that I've not just jinxed myself by saying that!!! Coz I said it the other week and then the next day I'm laid up back in bed again mate!!! So my fingers n toes are crossed!!

About the guy off eBay, total messer Nitro and that's one of the main reasons that I don't like to use eBay pal!! Only when I've got no other choice really is about the only time I will use it bruv!! How's your hand etc now?? 

Good to hear you're feeling better I'm fighting fit with nothing worse than a new scar for the collection. Finished the job that did the damage and am now busily engaged stripping the bike engine down to it's basic components. Selling stuff on E-Bay to cover the £70 for a gasket set....or I wouldn't be using it either.

Cheers mate and its good to hear that you're fighting fit aswell bruva!! I ccame across your bike pictures on another thread earlier and there's nothing better than the old bikes:) for me that is

Youll crack it mate the longer you take designing the better. Ide be looking at rc solutions for inspiration but I love their style of cages. Especially the revo one. But would rather have options for panels.

Currently toying with the idea of twin sports bike swing arms on a 1/10 beach buggy, so the whole back end moves vertical, none of this flappy arms nonsense , front might be just bolt upright 50mm shock with little movement.

best way would be running a trailing arm style rear like class 1 trucks, trailing arm with floating drive line cvd's, but the baja is a a-arm setup so more go with a autocross like frame , it cuts out the need to craft the cage to clear the wheels at full compression

not Assad though...there are plenty of others out there looking for your money

Well done buddy

And plenty of plonkers to fall for it :-/

You know what DOES confuse people?

Purple...

my head hurts..

I used to be confused. I think.

Oh I don't know.

I'm confused now.

ain't they got the xt660 engine in em??me mate had the mt01...two words=f----- awesome!!!!made ur eye balls vibrate until u hit 30mph...then u could see straight....not very practical though....1700cc v twin monster...

nitro-do you ride all winter? Im currently building a aprilia RS up and plan on using that all year round as much as possible.

and yes they are 660cc Vtwins

Does anyone think chemical castration is too severe an approach for some?  

The problem is breaking the cycle... layabout kids of layabout kids of layabout kids......  

Only one step further down the line from bromide in beans....

Having children is a privilege, not a right. 

People are waking up to the idea of abused pets take the place of children. The rspca had dealt with too many people who went on to shake their baby. But I think law is looking into it now. offenders list or something.  

I compromised ... I have taped a strongly worded letter to the pitchfork handle.... all bases covered

Ah, but a strongly worded letter on its own might bring you some "freebies". Profit over principle!

Might be a touch tricky to produce the evidence .....

Devils advocate but having friends who run garages...

Most of them won't fit secondhand parts unless supplied by customer. Just not worth the grief if it turns out bad or packs up after a couple of months. And rebuild kits are cheap as a DIY option but often don't save anything for the customer once you add in the hourly labour rate at a garage.

But mostly this is the fitters vs fixers debate, sadly fixers are a dying breed  

Wouldn't mind if they actually gave you options. The car was driving fine 99% of the time, and only hiccupped occasionally under load.

Swapping a coil pack is not exactly ...hard. 2 bolts and one connector.....

I'm a fixer. Always have been.

Sadly most are now trained as fitters, find borked part, replace it, signoff job sheet and done.

They should make them all run RCs, teaches fixing

Don't forget to ask nitroazza he has a cat that he wants to keep dry :-/

hahah , Has he been banned yet ?

Good he needs locking up too the nob

the 1/2 track sounds really cool 

Moved far? I'm hoping to go south coast when the kids have all left. Question is; do I tell them where we've moved to? 🤔

Not moved far ... Literally up the road. But now have a house with a garage, and some extra workshop space. Makes my old little shed look tiny!

Wonder if I can get closed-cell foams in 170/17 size... Baja never gets punctures

It might be worth putting the tyre into a bucket of water to see if there are any bubbles - If there are bubbles it's loosing pressure if not then it's perfect

I don't think it's worth risking mate. A harsh bump on that spot and pop maybe. Mayb a stone.

Oh sorry Maz, I forgot that women Pine over grown men playing with remote control cars....but only when they aren't using a bag to cover up their TX...that's a right put off...

Wouldn't it be good if women thought rc'ing was cool... they really have no idea what they're missing....

Have you tried a losi micro-t? got one for my boy and I cant help "borrowing it" while hes at school and make jumps indoors with books etc lol

mmmmm

Put some baby -shampoo and wash. Should smell nice on the chassis

I feel your pain, I had the same brand of mud stuck to the wheel of my Baja once... It wasn't very nice.

nice I used to have the 600 12 years ago (god i feel old thinking like that) and it always lacked that bit of umph. Always fancied the 900 ... does it have some nice pipes?

I'll be on two wheels by the end of the year :-)

It's still got stock pipes...but I fancy a set of Scorpion cans when funds allow.

Goldman that was the joke lol

Pistonpower,really!!!

goldman

LOL

teddyt...how can you say that when we get Hebby posting every ten mins from USA ! ha..Jon...if you get chance...pop into the mercantile hotel for a guiness http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g255060-d298404-Reviews-The_Mercantile_Hotel-Sydney_New_South_Wales.html

lol their both as bad as each other!!

and of course I'm not jealous!!

Snorkelling on any reef is amazing mate :-) I went scuba diving in sharm last year and was one of the most amazing things I did :-)

And don't worry lads no more updates from the USA cos I'm heading home today :-(

I work in IT and turn off fast boot - fixes 90% of windows 10 issues I get called to. your computer will take a bit longer to boot.

https://www.windowscentral.com/how-disable-windows-10-fast-startup

* note after the big updates you will have to redo this.

thanks for that rushboy will give it a try as I have mine asus mobo on fast boot atm and am trying to play that new SCUM game with no sound haha

I stuck with Win7 for ages - bought and built more machines than I kept track of.  Resisted the Win10 upgrade till the last min (for the free 'upgrade') and bar my recent issue with homegroup being removed, touch wood, i've had no real problems at all - in fact the only other niggle I recall was onedrive and win10 not playing ball in the early days of win10 - and MS we're quick to get that sorted obv.

Will bear in mind the fast start up thing though.  ta

Like the Summit But I want to do it nitro

CEN genesis its nitro and would look great as its big as a 4wd, 6wd would be mahoosive

6WD..........? thats not a monster truck....but its cool for sure...we need to make sure it as crawling territory nearby !

I plan to get mine from IRC... but he's listing a F270...and an F270 with a +2 crank. Not possible if it's a 30mm stroke surely? I have asked Rob to measure one for me.

If his 270's are 35-28 ... then that makes it a 35-30 29cc with the +2

both engines r the same 1 with norm crank and 1stuffed

go out and break something asap then!

Hmm,..tempted by the Disco front bumper. Then I could save up for the rest of the car. Tom...if it would stop raining, I could break something. Perhaps what I need is a waterproof truck!

well i could look after said bumper until you get the rest of the car. always happy to help out

Im a good person but there are alot of scammers and opertunists out there who will mess you over given the chance. I ha a guy that bought a car from me, he then proceeded to destroy the clutch on the quarter mile and tried to get me to pay for a new one!

I sold an Audi A4 to a guy who was clearly an idiot, limping in, telling me he'd fallen off his bike at 100mph on a corner.. Next day he calls me, I've blown your Audi up, give me my money back. Yea right.bcock even took me to court (& lost!) probably drove it home in 1st gear!

Don;t think this guy has trashed it ...just think it's bad luck. Could have happened to me just as easily
