      dang straight i knew i was gonna get a new case, just wanted to make sure the other components worked and set up windows after the parts sitting here for a week waiting on a case which still hasnt appeared 🙂

      Stormbringer

      Well his new case arrived today but not the Evri 1 we been waiting on they still telling me out for/attempted delivery lol

      Once Amazon refunded it i got 1 from Overclockers delivered by DPD :good:

  3. just bought a brushless system for my trx4.

     

    one of the hobby wing 2300kv 2 in one systems.

     

    hopefully when im fitting it i can find out whats going on in the gear box on low gear as i get a weird noise from it unless im on high gear, maybe the servo is pushing a gear in too much or not enough 🙂

      i fell out of love with a tamiya ta04s recently so ill take the eletronics out of that and mix and match what other ones i have to get ones best suited to it and shove the ta-04s in the attic along with its limited edition box, and i just noticed the price increase for speccy receivers plus my tt01 could do with the wheels from the ta-04s including front and back lights, the wild one is gonna get lights, similar to my grasshopper, loved running the ta04s but not sure where to get a new belt from for its belt driven 4wd, makes sense to whack it in the attic untill it appreciates while its still in good condition, my love is always off roaders and i have a tt-01 to thrash about if i want a on roader with easy to get parts 🙂

      nice choice, look forward to seeing it finished, glad your gonna run it

      ad456m

      The Wild One is a great car, one of my all time favourite models. Doesn’t need mental power and has bags of character. I think mine has a torque tuned, nice balance between power and not tearing up the diff(again). 

  5. thanks for the hyper 7 dad and i  went havers on it ,60 quid each we were gonna use it as spares for our hyper 7's but im not so sure any more lol

      it might run again with the engine 😛

  6. any one got helldivers 2?

    1. Nitroholic

      Nitroholic

      Don;t have it myself, but I know a few who have. Does look a decent game.

       

      Just don;t have hte time to start into a new game right now

    2. Yrkoon

      tbh it confused the hell out of me when i first tried it, but its actually pretty simple and easy to pick up and play once you get a grip of the mechanics and controls, im playing it on pc 🙂

  7. replaced the steam deck 256gb drive for a 1tb one earlier and some one has bought a 2tb one that i need to fit as well now lol

      nope. New PSU made zero difference.

       

      I kind of new it wouldn't, but I had to try. It's a better PSU anyway. Just means I upgraded sooner. The old one was bought when a previous unit blew. It was cheap and available quick. This is a much better unit.

    3. Stormbringer

      hmmm sounds like a faulty card then mate 😞

  11. arrghhhh cats, as soon as one is better another one acts up 😞

     

    good news about elsa but less good news about her brother :(

    elsa is recovering awesome and is back to her normal self she just needs her fur to grow back in from where she was shaved :)

    i noticed gizmo curled up in front of my room door earlier, nothing unusual in that apart from he seemed extremely docile, usually hes pawing at my door meowing to get in, a few hours passed off me passing him coming out room etc and thought something might be up with him.

    i picked him up and put him on the windowsill and he just lied there streatched out instead of his usual getting up, he would have fell down if i hadn't of supported him, took him through to dads room and put him on the bed saying theres something wrong with gizmo.

    he ended up trying to walk and kept falling over, seemed to be mostly focused on one leg at the back but the other back one was also seeming to give him trouble.

    ten mins later he was in the car going to a pdsa vet for a out of hours appointment as our local vet was shut, they ran bloods and couldnt seem to find any thing and they dont think hes broken any thing, only thing they noticed was his bladder was pretty full, so were to take him back there the morn if he hasnt done a pee by noon.

    they gave him a pain killer as well which seems to have helped a bit and hes eating and not throwing up at all, just hoping its nothing serious, he done a poop earlier but no pee :(

    hopefully he pee's soon and then we can take him to our proper vet on monday and find out what is going on with the poor guy.
     
    copy paste from a thread i made on ocuk.

      he seems back to normal today 🙂

      Well took him to vet earlier this evening and he was thoroughly examined and still cant find what caused it

      We did have a vase of Carnations on table in living room and he did chew/eat some and we have since found they are toxic to cats but not causing symptoms he had . needless to say Carnations no longer in house

      The plan was to keep him quiet in livingroom for couple of days but he decided its not happening and was wall of death about the house with his sister

      So i guess thats him fully recovered lol :rofl:

      when vet lifted him onto scales she said ohh your a big boy 5.65KG

      Orvilles' good too 😁

      First season of Picard was meh, 2 and 3 were far better.

      Like Madalorian, First season was a snoozefest but got better as it went on. Season 3 is really good, Shame it's been cancelled. 🤦‍♂️

  13. had a go of dads mini trx4 earlier and im impressed , it weighs more than my scx24 and the ftx fury i won put together.

      been like that for a while now brother think they did say it was background work or something 👍

  16. gonna be building a kong head soon, should i use a torque tuned brushed tamiya motor or a brushless system that i can rip out one of my thunder tigers, the slowest one is 3900kv

     

    but i have a tamiya torque tuned motor that came with my dt-03 spare as i went brushless on that.

     

    inspected the contents of the box earlier and it has a stock 27 turn tamiya can supplied lol

     

    edit: i also noticed theres 2 tubes of tamiya grease which makes sense as the kong head is a giant gearbox, think ill resort to using my decathlon teflon grease that i use on push bikes, worked on the dt03 and many other 10 scale models 🙂

      just got paid again so the build price has increased and i havent even started it yet lol

       

      just bought a etronix servo same as what i use in my hyper vse, a speccy receiver for my dx5c , a hobby wing 1060 esc and some tamiya metallic red spray paint as i looked around my room and realised i have too many dark or blue cars, so i havent even took it out the box yet and thats another 80 odd quid spent on it lol

       

      ill use the torque tuned motor to start with and 2 wheel steering then once i get a good feel for it ill decide on a final motor and can buy another servo the exact same for 4 wheel steering 🙂

       

      edit: also got the bearing kit from rc bearings 🙂

  18. i have discovered the best anime ever, i cannot quote any thing as i would be banned.

     

    ghost stories on prime, it is more screwed up than south park.

     

    "Ghost Stories was picked up for dubbing by ADV Studios in 2005. According to voice actor Greg Ayres, they were told to "do whatever it took to sell the show." The only condition was that the basic story and names of major characters and ghosts had to remain intact, but everything else was fair game. "
