      Im on 28 at the moment, at least 20 are runners with their own radio gear etc. If I had enough mates I rekon 15 could run at once before I ran out of batteries 🤷🏻‍♂️

       

      Its a bit daft.  Space is getting an Issue. I think I need a cull. I have at least 3 Tamiya's to sell, and maybe a Maxx, E Revo 2.0, Traxxas Rally, and 2x Nitro Revos. Id only sell them to buy a Grail Shelf Queen Tamiya mind. Everytime I sell I regret though. I still miss the Stampede I sold you haha

      Options are:

       

      Mini 2 SE

      Mini 2 SE Fly More

      Mini 3

    Tamiya clodbuster 👍or👎 I know that the 4WS is rubbish from stock have the upgrades accounted for and it’s not fast again upgrades available but it’s big would fill the gap the SCX6 has left and it’s the OG monster truck from what I’ve read plus it’s cool

      Na, theres very very few differences I believe, just its not badged as a Chevy and an extra chassis brace I think. Obviously its Blue not Red too

      So that may be some of the appeal. They’re inherently flawwed, but the aftermarket support is unparalleled. There almost a community on their own. You can sink a fortune into them, which Im not saying is a bad thing as the build for me would be as good as using it. Im ashamed to say Ive never even seen one in the flesh, but I can thoroughly understand the appeal!!

    I’ve just spent about 1 and a half hours looking at 1/10 RC car shells of different brands and really fancy making a couple for display on the shelf is there anyway in the UK that sell display chassis can only find ones from the USA and the postage is pretty much the same price as the item itself 🙄 

     

    and before anyone says it yes I selected UK only on eBay with no results 🤣

    Popped into TTP models in Coleshill today, picked up a few bits and a new chassis to build. Up there with the best customer service I have ever received. Very friendly and even offered to knock some money off due to purchasing instore. Anyone looking for Tamiya parts and kits check TTP models out.

      Wheres your throttle trim? Also. Maybe set it all up without the pinion on and only fit the pinion when its working properly?

    Struggling to get my Mrs (who probably loves uses and bashing the RCs more than me!) to let me sell my bashers to buy more 90s shelf queen Tamiya touring cars 😞

      I quite like the dynamic of the TRX4 and the Summit so wouldnt swap it for another TRX4. I know people may not agree but the Summit is probably the best RC out there. May not look as scale, but its as capable as any crawler, and is actually fun to drive and bash in 2nd gear on 4S. 
       

      I think mini crawlers are pointless, if I did sell the TRX4Ms it wouldnt be to replace them with another mini. They look cool but theyre just too small. Im not for a second downplaying the FMS stuff, but I guess Im a bit of a snob and regardless of their quality? They will always seem knock off to me. I Really dont see the point in them at that scale unless its indoor use. If anything Id be after a larger scale crawler such ad the SCX6. 
       

      We normally take 4 out at a time. However my girlfriends brother has just bought a farm and is building a small moto cross track for his sons (7 & 12) so my Mrs wants to keep the trucks for them to use when the tracks done, which is cool, but I seem to be more into obtaining shelfers recently 🤷🏻‍♂️

      @Lone-wolf I do agree. But her logic is all of our Traxxas' are "paired"

       

      She uses the TRX4 I use the Summit

      She uses the Sledge I use the E Revo 2.0

      She uses the Maxx I use the Maxx

      She uses the X Maxx I use the XRT

      She uses the Nitro Revo I use the Nitro Revo

      She uses the TRX4M I use the TRX4M

      She uses the Rustler  I use the Rally 

       

      Thats her logic anyway. Cant fault it tbh

    Might be because of my generation, but when this video game came out it was astonishing:

     

     

    I now want all the Tamiya's of cars in this game. Ive got most of the Rally Cars, so just want a Toms Supra and a few Skylines 😬

    What is silicone diff lube? Does it go by another name? The stuff that goes into a ball diff. I'm asking because I need to rebuild a few diffs but you can only buy it in these tiny 10ml pots that cost £4 each.

    Is it just me who is struggling to find ESC/Motor combos in the UK at the mo?
