May make 1 storage and 1 into a charge box so may drill holes and gromit them with extension cables

I seem to be my own postman these days.... If you know, you know what these are for 🙂 Need to find the conversion Guide next 🙂 Ziggy

was at my local bmx pump track, and decided to look at the sign (only been going for ages) It doesn't say NO rc cars but it does say intended for BMX use only never had an issues going up, gonna keep going up 🙂

A long time I saw a thread about sealing up Nitro engines personally never had to, but I know it's been done They used the same stuff on 1:1 cars liquid gasket/silicone backplates is easier as it 2 flat surfaces Pinch bolt for the carb neck was a little trickier 🙂 Itll seal em up, but getting them apart again is gonna be a pita, as some have some real biting ability ziggy

Sooo take me in my early teens 2004-2013 Nitro was King Nitro was fast Speed runners were bolting 2 - 3 - 4 engines to gear up and go mega quick! Model kits were available from savages to Touring cars, Rtr was just a handy way to get going!! 27mhz / 40mhz were getting quickly considered old tech as 2.4 spektrums ruled the market! Electric was cheap with Nimh/brushed but wasn't that fast Brushless was coming in - expensive Lipos were coming in but the whole dangerous battery chemistry thing made people sceptical... Ballooning tyres was considered cool and sign of Raw power!!! Forums were the DOGS! the lit place to be when owning RCs Only tutorials were text&guides, YouTube wasn't really the place for them? I left the hobby due to women/money/jobs/time Fast forward to now 27/40/ Separate failsafe? wtf is that? 2.4ghz is KING! and now very very cheap! Brushed is slow, but it's often joined with a Lipo to get longer run times! Brushless is cheap - common - fast Ballooning tyres is annoying... Belted tyres are a thing! Nitro is dead, Byron/Tornado sadly have gone, Force engines are gone! Lipo/Brushless are now been 2 - 3 - 4 motor combos by the speed runners Lipos are common as hell!! Model kits are out there, just not as common People want RTR to get out there! Forums are now fighting social Media groups Guides are all on YouTube now, 1000s of examples too something! Has the Rc hobby changed Yes in many ways, But not in others I'd love to get going at full speed with an Army of working cars again and attend a big gathering! just to enjoy what I remember from the early 00's! ziggy

Earth as loose soil / grass yeah I kinda get that it'll be chewing the ground a little.... a bmx on soil as uncompacted will be worse it'll leave a rut - again then come crashing off, it'll do more damage... But with how often RCs are used in an area, it'd be negligible damage / difference..... I'd love to know how much damage they think rcs cause? ziggy

My thoughts exactly If a BMX crashes into the ground, handle bar digs in and creates a rut.... Rc car? might move some dust or a few stones....

not sold on it tbh.... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp8jrj130w7o?at_bbc_team=editorial&at_link_origin=BBC_BedsHertsBucks&at_link_id=93672C24-24E9-11F0-8F72-FD987105AAFA&at_campaign=Social_Flow&at_link_type=web_link&at_format=image&at_ptr_name=facebook_page&at_campaign_type=owned&at_medium=social&fbclid=IwY2xjawJ-x4lleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHq1mCl_K4oWTCDuWueaVawNK4s3RrlB2gJyleW9dTEW6h_nuaLchjjNe6UsY_aem_cm1CoI5yl74YBGL7-EkIuw

Banned cause nobody else has done so in over a month!

it depends how they are in your area.... RM is better than Evri But RM do like to stick parcels in bins 🙄

how did I miss this topic?? After doing a side house extension, I've learnt alot of skills I never had before confidence todo stuff I've never done before!! Plastering.... yeah it ended up on the floor more than the walls it killed me.... But projects like this, make me really wanna get my backside into gear and get the shed rebuilt so I can have storage and space for this sorta thing Somewhere to hide from the kids! Outta curiously, what stopped you doing a basic electric underfloor heating system? it'd heat the space evenly and prevent precious space been lost too! Heating via electric towel radiators aint a bad shout either, but you loose space 😞 Love it! makes me wish I had a garage! Ziggy

it's a little subjective how long a clutch lasts.... Engines size gearing surface Nitro % Surface Driving style tyre... If your worried the clutch isn't gonna last, keeping a spare of any kind is always gonna keep you going Ziggy

Sounds like a gross air leak Pirate air making the idle mess up / mess your tune up A Knackered clutch won't affect tune, it'll be the clutch slips easier and the engine screams as a result Ziggy

Some is to expected, pull cord often ended up quiet greasy.... but for it to he ""flowing"" it's gonna be a worn starting shaft missing/worn seals or if the backplate has a one way setup(bearing) in it. then then it's likely that Ziggy

weirdly sum of these small models do the HBX Ravage lists some if these 2.3 and 2.8mm screws (according cml website) Ziggy

yeah it's the new version, but I'd agree it not same as previous, Even on a smooth driveway it was brilliant and nippy and quick Larger isn't always better 😅😅

I'd like to swear by it... I'm like 90% sure it was like 1/36th 1/24th is still small 1/18th HBX Ravage is a small basher!

Excited at first.... but found out its on there new platform 1/24th scale and not like the original on the 1/36th scale! Looks like the T and B share alot of goodies! Do like the truck over the buggy for sure! Tempting for the cost of less that £100 too....

oh god, bring back the days when JESpares were still around and they did screw kits for models in varying styles Shame they've gone as well 😞 Weirdly try screwfix for certain screws they often aren't too bad! unless they were your only option and half way through. towbar jib.... that was a mega expensive coverup....

saw the display picture and thought I recog ised it 😅 Love the caravan! any more pictures of how it's connected up?

After a few runs, I've decided the wheelie bar is needed, ended up on the roof too many times... It's only taken like 6months to fit the provided one! Going out for a run later to see what it's like

a thought, you can get Nitro Exhaust Gas Inline Coolers You could maybe rig up a couple with Lines to make it looks a monster that needs cooling lines/fins Decals tho would be ideal, maybe even scale stuff? but decals certainly to offset the black
