      Its a set of Pokemon Japanese CD Promo 1999

       

      Id say the cards are a 9/10 and they seem to be decent money,

       

      Thats for 1 of them:

      I dont think its a basher, but it doesnt need to be, as I have other bashers now. Just for some off road hooning

      I miss the cheap top up shops, connectors, wire and decent lipos at half the price of their rivals. Sadly over the last 3 years they dropped off massively to nothing.

      It was great for buying small things like servos and bits n bobs for making stuff. They also did some great planes at great prices, had many over the years. Have a look now and with shipping its just ridiculous. 😟

      whats the difference between the pro roller and the normal rtr one?

       

      cracking wee cars had my mini b rtr converted to brushless out for a run earlier and it is insane for its size and handles the power like a champ, literally has better handling than a lot of my 10 scale ones lol 🙂

    3. MrCake

      MrCake

      Same as  a normal mini b but comes with  some upgrades such as aluminium shocks, alu servo arm, alu bell crank, alu front pivot block so a bit of a bargain at £69!  Assuming it comes, never ordered anything from Amain before.

    4. Kpowell911

      Kpowell911

      A Main are possibly one of the greatest RC Shops on earth tbh

  9. So, I've been fined for going through the ULEZ in London twice..... My Van is a 2019, Euro 6, and ULEZ Compliant according to every other website other than the TFL...... Ive gone on Auto Trader, found registrations of other vans identical to mine and theyre compliant..... Ive appealed with a picture of my V5C stating Euro 6 etc...... wish me luck!!!

      @Alex97 TBH Id have passed it on if I knew I/ was gonna get charged, but I was sure I was ULEZ compliant, being in a 2019 EURO 6 engined van

    3. Nitroholic

      Nitroholic

      a 2019 Euro 6 IS compliant. TFL are money grabbing thieves, desperately trying to balance the books by effectively stealing money.

       

      I have had a large number of 'tickets' to deal with on red routes where I work, issued by TFL where no red markings wre present...where markings clearly ended, and where the 'operator' clearly had no idea how to work out what a loading bay was and how you can't ticket them when unloading in a loading bay during its tiomes of operation....

       

      I know challenge EVERY ticket TFL issue on principal, just to force them to do the work.

       

      Appeal those tickets. Worth checking on the DVLA website to make sure your reg is properly recorded. Most likely it's an error with it being recorded and a 'missing' reg is treated as non compliant. You absolutely do not owe them money for ULEZ.

      Welcome to London..!!😉🤣🤣

  10. Obviously I really want a Traxxas Sledge…. But Im ‘thinking’ of going with a Kraton EXB again…. Roller, Max 6/1650kv, Decent Servo, and an RX comes to a similar price (not as cheap as youd think, but far far superior electronics? The Sledge will need electromic upgrades, and the savings could be used to upgrade the EXB? I know I didnt gel with one, but maybe it was my first back to RC and my style will suit better now? Especially if I stop listening to forums about ‘diff tuning’? Hmmm

      How much difference between 2021 & 2022 XTR's?  Guessing you could buy the 'upgrades' fairly cheaply if they're not too significant?

    3. mydoddy69

      mydoddy69

      Why not take a look at the Associated mt8 ? Regarding the Kronos etc watch this makes a lot of sense and certainly will change opinions on what’s good or bad imo.

      I think between the 2021 and 2022 it's about £140 worth of upgrades, Mines a 2021 but have bought everything 2022 for it now apart from the new shock pistons. It's fairly tanky if you're not using it like Kev, I'd say it's on par or very close to as durable as my previous Hype Vse. Only thing i really keep breaking is steering links and stripped a couple of cheap servo's.

  11. Being Self Employed is hillarious! You spend 11 months of the year chasing invoices, then come April, everyones sending you everything at once so its off their books for the tax man! 😂 Ive just had an invoice not due for a few months land in my account 🙄😂

  12. Heard a rumour of 4x new Traxxas 2WD vehicles yesterday, bare in mind this is a nigh on 30 year old design. However, looks like its just led lights 😂

      It's a facelift more than a new model, if you want something "new" then they do the 4x4 versions. I don't think there's anything wrong with tidying up their current range once in a while.

    3. Shergar

      Shergar

      Why not do a Tamiya and do some re-releases?

    4. bertberr

      bertberr

      Probably in the minority here, but I like the fact a particular platform is available for a long time, means plentiful and relatively inexpensive spare parts, huge aftermarket support, and knowing that your rig is always the very latest version 😁

      And let's be honest, does an entry level 2wd basher really need all the latest cutting edge technology?  Just be nice if the price of the trucks reflected the fact they've had pretty much zero development costs over the last few decades.

  13. Traxxas really need to employ an Internet Savvy guy to name their trucks. Its so complicated finding things with 2wd and 4wd vehicles with the same name, then the Maxx and X Maxx, and now their new flagship 8th Scale partially shares a name with their aftermarket Tyres….. makes googling impossible

      £800?

       

       

      HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THEYVE FINALLY GONE TOO FAR

    3. mydoddy69

      mydoddy69

      Agreed £800 for a 1/8th scale basic rtr is way to much especially when you can get a top of the line Corally roller and kit it out for cheaper ! 

    4. jariworsley

      jariworsley

      £800? has that just added another £50 to the value of every used 1/8th truggy out there? 

  15. New Traxxas’ vehicle getting announced shortly. Rumours are its an X Maxx V3, or an entirely new platform 🤔

  16. Had the Tracxas 1/16ths out this morning, think I need to let them go to free up some funds

    1. Lone-wolf

      Lone-wolf

      get them sold to fund that second crawler

      Yea I have a Summit, Slash VXL and Revo VXL all 1/16th

  17. Great day out with my Mrs and the X Maxx and TRX4, now for a roast dinner and celebrate Pancake Day together as Im working away on nights in London next week 😩

      Glad to hear that. Really looking forward to picking my Maxx up. Really like the xmaxx too but simply don't have the space to do it justice 😔

      Good shout, I've not done this in a while. I'm staying in bed for a little longer first though. lol

  23. So I may be taking liberties here. My Mrs has kindly let me put some storage up, and a workbench in the spare room…….. however I ordered a 7ft Traxxas ‘banner’ and it came today and thats not allowed  to go up apparantly….. it is bigger than I expected tbh….

      Well i did get some amazing shots with the DBXL-E, while not 100% a basher it's not really a scaler either. 

       

      So i can see it. I just don't see why it needs a stupid name and guns, rather than just making it a rock bouncer/baja.

      If your after a shell @.AJ., give me a shout mate, might have something just up your street. :good:

       

      yep, by the time I’d bought the shell, interior, paint, 3d printed back seat, plasticard and glue, my Range Rover classic shell came in at around £250.

      but the price hike is across the board, it gets scary to price up a Toyota Hi-lux shell from Tamiya or Rc4wd.

       

      and a £100 for a new lexan MST Discovery shell….. :rofl:

    3. Kpowell911

      Kpowell911

      I half get it for a Crawler, the scale is the appeal. For a basher though?

    4. Kpowell911

      Kpowell911

      @mydoddy69does that come with all the plastics? Cant see properly
