Had to pay £82 to customs to get my Phoenix delivered a couple weeks back, was expecting it to be well over £100

Once you have been caught, do they keep you on record or is it all down to luck 

Im guessing down to luck. However these ones been stuck in Switzerland since the 27th (from the US?) so not sure whats going on

Was working... 😩🤬

Depends on what you want to do. 

Wanna run in mud? Probably the best choice. Wanna semi-scale? Not the best choice. It's going to be different than for example a Bronco 21 in terms of crawling - more ground clearance, but also higher centre of gravity leading to more tipping. 

As a general crawler, i'd go with a Bronco 21 over the K10. The body doesn't matter, the K10 has an inch more suspension, and 2.2 instead of 1.9 wheels. It's better at wading, it's worse at crawling, would be my guess.

I’d buy the cheapest Sport kit and a Chevy/GMC body from J concepts (if it was in stock) for less than £370! Lower centre of gravity too.

UK release date end of November early December, yet it's out in the States 02/09/22.!!

Im the apposite to you Jack too! The build is the enjoyment.

@Shergar my next trail will be a kit and as a back up i have a kind chap lined up to do the chassis build ha ha, but i will more than likely do it myself

Yeah, hoping having the track as an option to use whenever I want is going to keep me engaged in the hobby better than before. Don't really get much out of just going backwards and forwards in a field and always get fed up with the questions you inevitably get when you're out and about somewhere with people. 

What a terrible release 😂😂😂

@.AJ. not as bad as the "new" bandit 🤣

Ahh, clearly I misunderstood, as you were😂

Its just absolutely insane. My friend has a 991 GT3 and I honestly cannot imagine any improvement is possible, yet here we are

Yes, the fact in the press release they have to point out that it is “Road legal” shows how close to the edge it is!

What ya buying with that then ???   

Lovely. Was done for 10:30am and I book the day! 💪🏻💪🏻

Thats the Saturday shifts i used to like 

Yeah, Supersavage posted a vid a few posts down 👍 

I've heard those scratch and dent deals are not the same as they used to be

To be fair that one on Reddit looked like a scam and I believe theyre sorting it for him/her. 

Is there anywhere overseas offering good deals nowadays?  I was looking at AsiaTees the other day and the shipping costs were significantly more than the cost of the item.

Agree, they have done an incredible job throughout the tournament, let's hope some of it rubs off on the men... 😁

I dont follow football but i enjoy watching the ladies play, They are better in every way vs mens football, that seems to be full of overpaid wimps, go the ladies!

did us proud for sure !!! well played ladies 🏆

EBay’s does my nut, I’ve been trying to sell my 1/1 and every single person who has shown interest or even bought it has turned out to me a complete messer

I had the same with non payers on ebay, massive pain in the ass. 

Very strange,  unless the fees put him off.  I have sold a couple of things in the last month  and the fees seem high. 

To be fair he has messaged me saying he didnt mean to re list it etc. i think youre right though

well you did all you could by the sounds of it brother wasnt meant to be something else will come up soon 👍what was it K?

Traxxas T-Maxx 3.3R

I keep lookin for a Revo 3.3 but they go for silly money 

I like traxxas as they have onboard starter, but the carb is poor.   Had a revo, and it was good, but the slayer would tip over if you looked at is wrong.

Losi 3.4 Carb FTW @turok007

Roger was always my favourite to watch as a kid, and Hewitt was up there aswell. Kyrgios played great today, and IMO he's definitely a future champion, but yeah Djokovic deserved the win, for sure. Awesome final  

krgios serves are sweet man but i cant stand the drama and antics hes a great player let down by hisgob tbh great final though and the womens were both great this year 😁

I hope you’re IPAF trained to operate!  

IPAF and ECS Ready Mr @53HRA

dang thats some height 🙂

Nice 1 mate good way to finnish a nice day out 

Living the dream mate 👌 

sounds good but raise u a horse 😛

jousting 🙂

every time so called evil guy came past i was cheering him on 😛

they got off the horses and had a sword fight 😄

those serves WOW 😍

@Shergar this was his previous Cayman GT4 (986?) With another special Porsche

Thats lovely, they reckon purchasing a GT porsche is hard work - total lottery wether you get one or not - its a mystery! Heres my Mrs one last week in Le mans 🏁

Not a great photo, but she managed a lap of most the track after the race.

have a read on here K https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=G8VRJ7Y8Z3T5WPV3 👍

Hmm, seems they could take more or less. Hmm thanks @Bajadre

A wee while back i ordered a 1tb micro sd card from amazon and they charged the tax etc when i bought it but about a month later i got a refund on some of the tax

Seems they overcharged the tax so you shouldnt have to pay more after checkout

It's literally says it's back in stock tomorrow can you not wait one day 😄

What the hell? It didnt say that earlier? In fact its in stock now haha

I'm tempted to buy another and an sct410.3 as well. All the rc car prices are going up through the roof and I can't see them getting any cheaper soon 😕

the tent? 🙂

dont forget to show a pic of it pitched

Bet you didnt say I love you when she told you that you were buying her a 1000 quid tent 

but a xmaax is more useful than a tent 😞

Is it a roof tent for a car that extends and shizzle? If so that's sick. She's onto something. Use the tent carefully and you can bash at some really awesome and unique spots whilst still doing ourdoorsy stuff and keeping her happy!  

Really hope you like camping mate 

Yeah they sadly are expensive. I do find interesting how the perception changed for me though, growing up in germany those things were everywhere, and when you saw them, there was no prestige to them. They were a "poor mans car/van", like a Ford Transit. 

Today you gotta sell house, a kidney and your firstborn to get one. 

Theyre absolutely tiny as well in comparison of the things today

Love that about them, there's no space wasted inside. Two villages down the road a guy has the lift top version:

And it's amazing. I genuinely would take this over a modern camper, assuming it's just for a single camping trip. If i went into "full time camping", having certain amenities probably outweighs the romanticism of these things for me, but man. I can see myself crossing the country for a month or two in one of thems. 

I cant offer much help on this but if you were to sell a chunk of the rc`s that maybe just dont get much run time, it would give a good pot to do a rather special build that might get a lot more run time

Personally I’d save up your money for a super build unless you’re stuck for space 👍

Some of mine might not get used for 12 months or more but I always come back around to them. 

I have had the urge to do this sort of thing before too....

I look at things like Tamiya Clod Busters, and think about a proper monster build based on one.... or making an oversized statement piece like a largescale tank or half track ... but I usually don;t bother. Over sized vehicles tend to get sidelined faster with me as its just such a lot of work and effort to take one out anywhere. Build a 6 wheeled 3 engined monster Baja and find its too bulky to carry.

Thats why I ended up building a 6x6 Hyper.....because it was something different and usable!

I have found Alix to be good to buy from, i did have an issue a while back i had ordered some cheap shocks, then a day later changed my mind and cancelled, i kept asking for a refund but it turned out the seller had refunded me almost right away and i had missed it in my bank

I buy a LOT of parts from AliExpress and when (rarely) there is a problem it always get's sorted out quite quickly.

Also very happy with their service myself and I order lots of parts from them.  Best of all, you can get things that are released in China ages before they reach other markets.
