Such sad news, May his life be remembered fondly! Carl has been a great help to many (including myself) on this forum, and he seemed to be a truly nice chap from what I know of him. I know he was very unwell a while before his death and was often in a lot of pain, I hope his family can take solice in the fact he no longer suffers. Carl, may you find your peace in your end-game Best wishes to your wife and children who undoubtedly feel a large hole. Richie

Any recommendation on 2S battery? something cheap but good? Please advise, also, I am concerned about storage, is LiPo safe to store for a long while? like a few months if I do need to? @pie Hauler bag was the Fast Trak one. Linky I got it from Bolton Model Mart, their site seems to be down right now! I certainly can't get on to it for some reason!

Thanks mate, capacities same as nimh I guess? Mah?? And what about brand, am I best sticking to good brands?

What kind of lipo? My charger will manage to charge them, I made sure I upgraded to cover when I got a new charger! What's the difference, 2s/3s how many volts? It's all new to me.

It certainly is Jony! And for that I thank you! it's an excellent Hauler, I did like the look of another more, but this works out perfectly and has everything I need! Any recommendations on ezrun?

Hey Jony, I got the Fast Trak Hauler from Bolton Models and it fits my two tourers all my bits and my radio gear etc as well as a micro. Nice bag, would recommend it!

So I've gone for like 3 months and all of a sudden EZRun setups are like

yep, it does!

Wow, 16 mins and banned already! That';s got to be a record! I was going to take them too!

I bought one of these Linky Will let you know how well it fares when it arrives! nutnut

Right, time to pick up some new pinions I'll report back when I have had a play about with the Gearing.

Yes, it's street/school playground/carpark I am running in, never inside! What kind of FDR should I be aiming for?

Motor is virtually brand new

I will have to sound daft here, what exactly do you mean by the above???

I am running a 27T Stockstar in my drifter (Yokomo MR4-TC SD) and after 5 mins running my engine is red hot and starts to smell.. the FDR is 5.90 so I don't think it is this. What could it be? Faulty ESC? (running a 15T limit HPI ESC that came stock in my sprint) stiff drive train? it doesn't feel too stiff but it is marginally stiffer than my sprint. I would be thankful of any assistance. nutnut

If it happens again, note down the "STOP" code, it's important to trouble shoot it! Just incase!

Turns out that some people take your money before they check if they have a part in stock and if they have that part available from the supplier! I am looking for this part again, the links I have been given by R46 were good, but unfortunately not good enough! Thanks all the same R46! much appreciated!

Cheers R46, I got your PM, if anyone has one that would also be good, but I am away to check out the retailers you pointed me towards

I'm looking for a SD118 kit for the MR4-TC Black (Carbon Fibre) I have an MR4TC and there is nothing to hold the battery in place and as such I am frustrated every time I try and run it! I tried buying this from a couple of places and to no avail. Anyone have the wee piece of plastic that sits on the edge of the chassis to stop the battery from falling out the side? Cheers in advance! Richie

Guns, As Mr T said earlier in the thread, no-one is likely to be "qualified" to give career advice, - absolutely right, probably not! However, there are a number of us who have been in your position (not exact possibly) and have done something about it. I'll give you my story.... I'm 31 (nearly 32 ) I currently work in IT as a contractor in technical departments in a large financial company in Edinburgh. I got here by a strange route. I had good GCSE grades in my home town of Nottingham, went on and did my A levels with relative success but completely lacked interest.... so I left and joined Natwest bank as a mortgages clerk. 2 years down the line I vowed never to work in a financial institute again in my life! I started a job in a Bar as a barman, worked in 4 in all and worked my way to assistant manager, I enjoyed it but the money was bearly enough to cover my bills when I moved out of home! I met my now wife... My wife told me to get a "proper" job so I could see her in the evening, so I started as a Recruitment Consultant for a small Agancy in Nottm, it was a great job, but the money was pretty poor still, around

Garry FTW!!!

Not strictly true, I have had one for over a year now and it has not skipped a beat! you must be hard on it! in which case you should take better care!
