  4. Feeling a lil stupid.... I think I got scammed....

    okay not a huge amount...

    but yeah....

     

    the fact I shoulda known it was too good to be true...

    Atleast I used my credit card with a low limit, and should be able to get it cleared up....

     

    not great feeling....

      Well walking away with a £1.87 loss....

      I've escaped lightly....

       

      the scam sets you up for a £60 p/m DD....

      managed to find the under pinners and they've agreed to Cancel it

       

      If you see a Wera tool kit for £3 + a questionnaire (very short) in association with Screwfix (its not btw)

      then yeah... its a scam

       

      Oh well it's less than a coffee

  6. Just got the dreaded:

     

    Your parcel is being held in our delivery depot awaiting payment of customs charges. The addressee is being sent a letter outlining the charges and how to pay.

  7. Sad day today, had a letter from the DVLA stating my HGV license is coming to an end and requires a medical check-up to renew. That’s me up the creek then…

    lost/losing so much now with bad health and it peeves me off.

     

    i think the buying side of the rc hobby has to sadly come to a end, i can just about afford to put fuel in the 1:1 now, its all gone down hill in the last 3-4 years.

     

    still could be a lot worse though….

    1. Ziggy122

      Some of the safety features are annoying as hell!!!

      I dread the day when I have to putup with speed warnings....

      and Lane assist...

       

      Had a new rental that had Lane assist..... its dangerous! as the car would nudge when there was no need....

       

       

      I kinda dislike traction control alot too, serious restrictor in okay conditions.... yet stability I accept cause I don't know how to slide except outta control 🤣

      Can I ask what's stopping you renewing? 

       

      Tbh, I'm finding the roads are more full of clowns...in my 3.5t people don't think about my size or space needs let alone a 44t HGV....

       

      more Kelloggs licences....

       

      I've got numerous years togo yet 😞

       

      And fuels alone is killer.... glad I don't pay it...

  9. Future classic

    any thoughts on what RC car will be worth more in the future.  I was looking at the RC10 but at least 7 different versions are being released.

    1. Ziggy122

      Ziggy122

      According to the FB pricing... the HPI Rush Evo is worth £120ish....

      reality it's worth about £30

       

      So who knows, I might be onto a winner....

  10. 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!!

  11. £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)

    1. Ziggy122

      Ziggy122

      @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...

  14. Sometimes you just have to get lucky. 

    475809966_606433815617462_56348253479487

    Brand new kit, built to a decent standard (had axles and diffs apart, happy with it) - never had even wheels on, literally not a mark on it. Plus a Fusion Pro, paid £380. Now to figure out what to do with it.

      Remember the saucy pictures

      and the fact it'll never be that clean ever again 🤣

  16. 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!

      I love how imperfect things are that make it perfect!

      Love how they still move the clay models frame by frame!

      true old school work vs the modern CGI stuff

       

      @Yrkoon hurry up and get a takeaway with him to watch it!!

  17. Who has a go in the snow with the RC today?

    1. Ziggy122

      Ziggy122

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

      just became a big snowball and not enough clearance for deeper snow

       

      got a snowball picture of it...

  19. How we all doing? Ive been lurking still, just not buying or using RCs! Been busy enjoying being a Dad, my daughter is somehow 10 months old now and developing a right character!! Ive also started a new job which is errr different but in a good way. Ive also got back into the gym (I needed too 😳!) and Ive lost just under 3st now, but its very time consuming! How are we all?

    1. Ziggy122

      Ziggy122

      I've only just got an RC and gone out a few times since my little lady turned 7m!

       

      It's not Easy juggling everything

       

      The Job seems like a win tbh

      enjoy / relax

  20. It's happened....a box has arrived....

  21. as you can tell from my last status update, i am comtemplating getting back into rc. i dont have anything really and wondered if its best to try buy a bundle of cars with lipos? they do that all the time on ebay. what do you guys think?

    1. Ziggy122

      Ziggy122

      I've come back to the RC scene from when I was a teen

      My first box has just arrived!

      Partly cause the Mrs ordered it behind my back

      but I've gone small / cheap / something powerful enough to keep my power bug contained!

       

      I've spent ages looking at FB market place, nearly brought a Super Nitro&mt2 bundle, but didn't in the end

       

      I went new cause I know what I'm getting then!

  22. 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?

    1. 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
