    sure others have done this, but I always wanted one! 

    it's got multi purpose!

     

    Little nervous weirdly....dunno why!

      Meet the Donor and unwilling patient 😅

       

      It's listed as a runner (except I didn't see the fact its a roto)

       

      The nitro engine and bits are going to get my H7 running again!

      This once stripped is becoming the Conversion! People did these back in the 10's and they were fast and stable and took a beating

      Hyper 7s were bashing buggies, the aim is to get it shifting and enjoy the h7 stability with electric power :)20250313_165917.thumb.jpg.c5734c0da8cfaae818d3adcf16bdbda3.jpg

      Looks awesome mate  :good: I look forward to seeing how the conversion goes.

      converting them to electric is really good and they are faster than when nitro :good:

    Weird Question and doesn't warrant a thread really.... more aimed at @Nick& Mods

    How Long can a User on the forum edit a post after it's put up?

     

    I know mods/admins can make modifications...

     

    have a ""exploration"" idea,

    A master thread where togo in my area/surrounding me which is linked to a sorta thread with a detailed review etc...

     

    As nowt worse having an Rc and nowhere to run it!!

      Hmmm I was under impression you could edit your own posts at anytime but im not sure about that tho

    2. Ziggy122

      Ziggy122

      If its not time limited, then it's golden...

       

      maybe I need to find like my very first post from like 2015? 🤣

  3. Ziggy122

    £140 sound good for a HPi trophy truggy flux + Overlander ac/dc charger + 2 lipos (unknown size/capacitys) yet

     

    look like a modelsport bundle tbh (stickers wise)

      I have been looking at one of these they seem like a right cracker if you got any spare electrics for it might scratch that truggy itch  https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/hobao-tt20-pro-truggy-truck-artr-clear-body-1363227 or the big bro model HoBao Hyper SSTe Truggy 1/8th.  I keep looking at Hobao they look good quality / price.

      @Stormbringer

      Yeah, lile rhe idea of Monster truck size/long travel with the buggies agile traits....

       

      Back when HPI did the Hellfire.... that when I fell in love with a truggy

      Nothing wrong with a H7/buggy...

       

    4. Stormbringer

      Stormbringer

      nope nowt wrong with the h7 buggy i have that and a vse :good:

  4. Ziggy122

    dam... missed out on a 2hr old ad on FB for a bargain FTX bronco Nitro.... no start condition and super local... sadly it was gone within 2hrs... 

     

    wish I'd of found it sooner.... and my weird fear of spending money held me back 

  5. Ziggy122

    Finally got the RC out Wednesday for a battery pack and 5mins

    it reminds me how much I miss my other cars 😞

     

    However did find a neat gravel area to bash at!

    1. bertberr

      bertberr

      I sometimes go months without using an RC, but always really enjoy myself when I do finally get another chance to have a play.  Main reason why I never sell anything during a hiatus. 

  6. Ziggy122

    Just watched the New Wallace and Gromit film, and I think they did a brilliant job finding a replacement voice for Wallace, since the passing of Peter Salis

     

    Forever a Wallace and Gromit fan tho!

      Ziggy122

      tried the Tracer I'm the snow, it didn't cope well

    What's a HPI mt2 with the classic T15 engine worth?

    Not sure it's worth buying to use but more to clean up / rebuild as a shelf queen?

    2. Ziggy122

      Ziggy122

      Hmmm it's back up!

      it's got a spectrum radio

      A Cheap 2.4ghz radio (Anserman?)

      the mt2 (roto start inc)and a susped hpi rs4....

      both I'd like to Original resto to a decent finish 

       

      but does £80 sound decent?

       

    3. Yrkoon

      Yrkoon

      with how old the mt2 is, im guessing the one way bearing is probably shot which the roto start went through rapid on our 2.

       

      i wouldnt pay that for one tbh, unless your wanting it for a shelf queen its gonna be a pain in the ass tbh.

    4. Ziggy122

      Ziggy122

      yeah, the mt2 is the 4wd of the rush evo - in the sense of stadium trucks

       

      yeah it's the clean them up and restore back damn near factory

  11. Ziggy122

      It was a wonderful episode, though. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

    3. KevB

      KevB

      Yes, great final episode.... no 'tasks' just cars, scenery and banter...  And what made it even better for me was that I used to have a 3.0 GXL Capri back in the 80s....  very nostalgic

    4. Ziggy122

  14. Ziggy122

    Linkin Park were Big when I did RCs as a teen, had them on alot when I was on the forum too!

    To Hear they are back with a new singer (who will never be Chester) but she seems to carrying LP forward! can't wait to hear more when they release the album! espically as I get a RC in the near future again!
