Actually want a Primal Raminator too so this was a let down, lol.

Is that Costco Birmingham? 😂

Costco Coventry ha

Just pure money laundry surely? Auction fees were nearly £60k 😳

Just a couple of country lines lads, tryna get rid of their stash… fun way to evade the police as well in that thing 🚗

If you’re going for a fancy TT-02 have a look at these.  Got lots of shiny bits, more up to date suspension parts and hex screws.

@BigGinge I couldnt work out which one was better of the R vs SR

quite accurate description                  not 

Come to think of it Traxxas should actually release a Petrol Xmaxx it would be brill  

You’ve still got to play them twice, so its up to you to stop them 😉 

Bring back White Hart Lane! 

Still another week to go 

Its only minor things although its the servo for the XRT i wanted.  Cant really find anythiny similar in the UK. No biggy IM lucky enough to have enough RCs to use 🙂

I put an order into injora just before and received it yesterday. I put another order in on the 19th, still not marked as shipped. 

Pretty much everything stops over their for at least two weeks. 

ISDT do one (the P30) that will do 1000w charging on a single channel or 1500w on two channels at the same time. Would need a fairly hefty power supply to go with it, so you’d probably be looking at something in the region of £600 if you went with their SP3060. For just two channels. 

I use an overlander RC6 as my main charger plus a toolkitrc as back up when i go flying i can be charging about 10-12 lipo`s so i start a few days before and get them done ready and always start with the small ones just in case the weather turns bad, less time to put back to storage

Im probably been over cautious but I try not leave lipos fully charged for more than a few hours, As going back to storage on a 6k 4s takes ages haha

I'll get some pics for you all when they get delivered 

There you go guys really nice car , got a cool interior too 

Wow!

Hobbytech are a French company, so that would explain the Peugeot 😉

Thanks for the info @toyolien

You're welcome @Kpowell911

The M07 is a good build, you get a lot of car for your money plus they handle pretty well.  

Soo sorry to hear and thoughts with you 

Very sad news, best wishes 👍😥 I saw a dog drown years ago, in a huge lake park in Crawley  it was horrific, the owner was distraught but it was too late no one could help.

Ours was just a tragic accident. We went away for the night and Benji was staying at my Mrs Dads. He let him in the garden, didnt see him fall in the pond (some how!). We arrived home minutes/maybe even seconds too late. Went in garden to get him, couldnt see him and then we noticed him floating…… 😢

Got him out, tried to resucitate him, rushed him to out of hours vets but was too late. Just a horrific image, leaving us feeling guilty as hell, thinking what we couldve done differently. 
 

He was 17, and quite poorly. Had to wear a nappy as had no control over his bladder, his back legs were almost gone and he used to spin in circles. But for 5 minutes a day. He was a Puppy. Full of life. Its not the fact he has gone. Its the circumstances and our final memory of him, potentially alone, scared and struggling. 
 

These passed few days have been horrific, but we move on. Love you boy 🐶❤️

Its xmas, let your hair down, enjoy the festive time

all the best to you and yours

Merry Christmas to you too mate

Merry Christmas all. 

Would have to be an original for me @Daddyroo

With the rose jointed suspension? 

I had a 2001 with the plastic arms when they were first released and loved everything about it - wish I'd kept it☹️. Guess that's why the Egress re-re keeps catching my eye. 

The originals were a work of art though, hope you manage to track one down

And the clip style beadlock front wheels 😀

both amazing skilled players no doubt but ronaldos mindset well meh 

Come on...no way Messi could match this performance...

that looks awesome 🙂

me like 

and props to the hotrod too 😍😍

yeah shame there isnt many uk rc brands and with declining local hobby shops around anymore makes it worst unless you like places like antics that dont seem to know anything about rcs at all,reminds me years ago when i had my traxxas stampede vxl i had a problem with the way the leads were soldered to the main board on the esc it was widely known back them until they changed it as they kept snapping off and i didnt solder back then so i dropped traxxas a email to see what they would do and fairplay they gave me a contact email to get it fixed i fired off an email  a nice guy replied saying he would help and sort it he gave me an address at the time which i thought was wierd not a hobby shop or industrial site was a normal house address lol it was local so asked if i could pop round instead of posting the guy was awesome and said yeah after 6pm when he got back from work i started thinking WTF and yep it was a normal house of a family who proceeded to solder it out on his kitchen table while his wife and kids ate in the living room haha was bizarre 😂turnt out he was the local traxxas tech for the south west lmao 👍

@Bajadrehow long ago was that? I appreciate people think my Traxxas obsession is bizarre and potentially unethical, but my reasoning is Ive always been a Traxxas guy, since when they was arguably the tiny up and comer in the UK. The same way people have an affection for Tamiya, I was a Traxxas lad, with a Rustler, complete with MSC, and a clear body shell. I dont think they had a UK Distributor, and the internet wasnt massive (I used to have to phone Modelsport, order my bits from the catalogue, and pass my Dad the phone to give his card details). But you could literally phone Traxxas UK, and they would sell you parts directly. They’d often remember your name as you phoned. They were a tinY entity in the UK. I eventually upgraded everything on that Rustler. As when I got a bit of money, Id ring them up and order whatever part was broken, or an upgrade. The only way Id know its an upgrade is wqs buy looking on the sheet of paper snd looking for the part numbers in bold. I had that Rustler for probably 12  years, it eventually ended up with a ‘state of the art’ Novak SS Brushless system. As time went on I used to frequent the (at the time) extremely popular Traxxas Forum, and get upgrades from Tower Hobbies whenever I could afford. I I bet if RC cars had a mileage counter, that Rustler would have more miles on it than my 200 odd RCs since put together. 
 

Traxxas are erm, a different company in 2022, and theyve got a loyal UK Customer here waiting for an XRT and 2x TRX4Ms, and he is that annoyed with the current state of play he is considering sacking the hobby off completely after nearly 30 years…..

way way back K prob a few months after they launched i got it ex display  from msuk webby they had amazing deals back then in the day etc came with a 7cell nimh and charger haha seemed fast as hell back then 😂i was lucky as they did a odd few parts on here i think only thing i ever broke on it was the wheelie bar part they took such a beating 😎she ended up getting converted to a rustler in the end then swopped for a baja pipe off a mate for his young son lol

well done, it all helps to keep the forum going, and its not a lot , might be about the only thing in the UK that has not gone up in price

yet lol 

Thanks for your support 👍

yeah see that AJ was very interesting watch.but  dont worry england have a LBGT logo on there plane and rainbow armbands so all good haha 😂

It's literally ruined the world cup for me and most people I know who watch footie

Now Qatar is pretending to be 'more liberal' coz they know the civilised world is looking at them, and asking how we ended up here.

Next, perhaps, they will look at how many immigrant workers dies building the fancy stadium.

37 workers died working on the project directly...80% recorded as 'natural causes' ( heart or respiratory failure) which basically means worked to death in the hot sun.

In total 6700 migrant workers have died in Qatar since they got awarded the project.  Thats a little over 2 dead every single day. For 12 years.

Kind of makes you think.

Good to hear!

hows your mrs mate ?

hope your over the worst, when i had it i shook it of pretty quick, my wife had it worse than me though

Because I was wondering if it was my end or if anyone else had the same experience?

@Nick

I posted a reply in Suggestions topic.

Suprised its out so soon. Im not gonna be part of this one I dont think, its gonna be £1k+ and wont do anything my X wont

Don't need to buy all things Traxxas - but i very much disagree that an X-Maxx does what a low CG truggy does. It just doesn't. The question is whether or  not that's important to you - admittedly, it's actually not that important to me either. I just fancy another big rig. And yeah, it's not going to be cheaper than the X-Maxx, which sits at £1100 itself. 

Still want one, wanted a big truggy for a while now but the Kraton didn't do it for me. 

ETA no idea, but price tag of £1200.!! hard pass for me.

how you feeling now mate ?

Still positive, and I think Jade (my Mrs) has it now 😞

ouch mate hope you both get well soon 

Im sure he was on blue peter racing a RC
