if it hurts dont sell 🙂

hmm, i keep looking at my jumpshot and thinking i could sell it to fund the new Hobao GT speed runner but i really dont think i could part with the st flux

Basically a Hot Bodies E-Zilla with a better body. 12 cell and 550 motors x2

nice finds Garry !! some cool rcs there the 2wd pede is alot of fun with a cheap Bl setup 🙂 e savvys getting rarer too 

I remember the E-Zilla! Stampede is worth a rebuild, the E-Savage not so much, probably hard to find bits for now!

Who does that in any year!

Hmmm, yeah gotta admit, with the fact epoxy and double sided tape/foam exists (and often comes in the box with new electrics) that is an oddball for sure.

Depending on the vehicle, perhaps it was an 'in the field' quick fix?

Racetrack with a carbon fibre chassis? Pure savagery. 

Think I now have more chargers than batteries as every couple of years I have this habit of wanting to try a new one 🤣 

I don't know how many chargers i have  as a few years ago i listed a job lot on here and ebay  but never sold  so i have a sealed box someplace with chargers in it. .

I've got a Gforce G6P as my bench unit.
iCharger 406 duo for my main race LiPo charger
Orion Advantage for retro racing.
Nosram Stealth Evo for NiMh

Toolkit M800 for radio cells

some random Absima for charging in the field.

3Racing Sakura D5 but no indoor club nearby to run one nicely. they don't slide in a scale like manner on tarmac.
Carisma SCA1E but I'm town based with no garden so nowhere nicely rural to flex its muddy credentials. 

I'm heavily into racing touring cars so no problems justifying silly purchases usually but these a bit of a stretch.

maybe mini drifters like the Zs gary? always wanted one of those pricey but get a board made up with a course could be cool fun  then just pack it away after etc

Crawler, just because.

But something more scale than the Carisma, if you want scale scale.

I met Gerry's son Gregor when he bought a car from me a few years ago, and I currently own a fair few itensof Gerry's personal automotive library now, lots of signed books Gerry collected over the years. He's my motorsport hero. 

Any progress on the bumper light box mate. 

I looked old nail and saw a garage full of vauxhalls. No idea lol. My first thought was that Toyota wedge car with like thrusters on the back of it. Mayb the first ground effect race car i forget. As seen in gran turismo. 

I maybe might have possibly bought one already....maybe 😆

I love banger racing. Long live Mardaves!

Power supplies to match?

Already sorted, I use a couple of 100a converted server PSUs wired for 24v

I look forward to this! Once you're posted it I'll get it shared on social media, I think it'll be really interesting and inspiring for some!

Space and time is finite so I can't be the collector I used to be sadly.

I find sometimes that I enjoy the building and modding more than driving a specific RC so once that's done I sell on to fund the next project/build. 

I find it difficult to let them go once I've finished upgrading and problem solving. Still have ten cars, but plan to shift another as it's not my bag. 

Yes, bought an Mtronics Viper Esc for my dads boat, waterproof, seems to be the recommend on for the older style kits with a big brushed motor

Do they still melt themselves down at the first sight of a charged battery? 

Nearly bought a 4S ESC for an E-Maxx years ago, but their rep wasn't great. 

Yes, an incredible guy, excels at everything, he is obviously a fighter, but same as you really sad to hear about this, sounded like a very bad accident.

Jeeze just Googled what happened, ...hit by a truck! 😲  Fingers crossed for him. 

Thats awesome mate he sounds dedicated already I have a radio if needed I'll post it to you if wanted.  It's cool to help kids in I know I wished somebody did it for me when ide stalk the local club begging my mum I gave up in the end. 

Awesome. Well done to you! This is the sort of thing that initiates a hobby for life.

Let us know what his reaction was like.

Good man
What's his mum like 🤣 haha

Make sure you marry her quick sharpish 😂

But you haven't said how much she's spent on your cards? 

I've done the opposite not going out im stacking. I'm holding myself back from ordering the xmaxx I even joked to the mrs i might order this and she just whatever'd me I don't think she was listening lol. 

It'll get better fella, good to have you back on MSUK.

At least your bloody here to type, which is chuffing great! 

Hello mate  

I've got the same problem, I brought a brushless motor and ESC for my sons blitz, well he now has a sc8-wp esc but no motor to open :-( how's Father Christmas gonna explain this :-(

i had same pal. waiting 4 weeks to be back in stock a few days ago

Who are you again Garry? Do we know you?

welcome back??

The forum needs you gary you can tell any chassis from the worst pics.

Stop scaring me like that with your hibernating!!! Look forward to the news posts, I was getting desperate, lol.

Sorry lol, iPads just can't do News any justice! If anyone is handy with soldering a PITA power jack on an ASUS X54C, message me!

I've got a big hammer I can send you to 'despatch' and issue the last right to the beast? :-)

22,222...I think I need to say it slowly just for it to sink in...that's a lot of help dished out, far more than would reasonable be expected by any member or mod, your a true legdand Garry...keep up the good work.

I think we should petition Gary to release a Book (pdf)so all that wealth of knowledge isn't lost to us should he decide to leave the hobby.

P.S. Keep up the great work
