      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 🙂

    https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/bike-grease-tube-red/_/R-p-341620?mc=8751269 thats the grease i use on 10 scale models, they keep changing the packaging (it used to say teflon grease on it) , 0 problems with that and its only 8 scale ones that you have to worry about diff oil 🙂
  7. Yrkoon
    i use push bike grease in all my 10 scale models and havent had a problem yet, i only use diff oil in 8 scales ones 🙂

    got 3 thunder tigers in the attic, one is a drifter that was barely used and the other 2 are a xxt and a xxb my first brushless ones, just a pity i cant get spares for them any more and the xxt is part hyper now, i had a load of hyper mini st parts and a lot of time on my hand and bodged it into living again before i chucked it in the attic, also have a ishima rave nitro and that is never getting converted to leccy, it reminds me of my glory days of good nitro fun as it has a less screechy engine and more of a grunty sounding one 🙂

    gonna suggest a different one that will not dissapoint for 400 think all u would need is some 4s batteries and a charger. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/hobao-hyper-vs-1-8-rtr-buggy-150a-esc-red-439894 that is a cracking buggy for the money and parts are cheap plus 8 scale and has loads of power 🙂 notice the terrain and how their been driven plus mine snapped a boulder in half 😛 lmao

    dad and i had a fair share of hpi cars years ago but after their financial difficuiltys and cheaper cars on the market like hobao hypers etc we kinda stopped buying them as hpi still seem to think they can get away with very high prices in todays market after their comeback 😞 we had brilliant fun with the mt2 trucks and savage and trophy truggy all nitro back in the day, edit : even had a hpi brama b but sold it and the guy some how managed to snap the chassis in half....... 🙂
  11. Yrkoon
    i more or less hoard them or in the case of 2 kyosho dbx nitro buggies i completely stripped apart for screws etc and made use of their chassis to cow boy reinforcements for some of my more loved ones 🙂
  12. Yrkoon

    FTX or HPI

    Yrkoon replied to A Hog's topic in General - Nitro

    just make sure you have somewhere away from houses to run a nitro, biggest problem with nitro is the sheer noise they make 🙂

    i need a new case as this one has seen 2 mother boards and 3 cpu's and 4 graphics cards, wonder if i should go to am5 as well , i have a 5700x ryzen with a 65 watt tdp 🙂
  17. Yrkoon
    woot it survived prime 95 on both cpu and memory 🙂 am5 chips will get hot as hell like 95c per core, dads one kepts consistant boost speeds on that and no game will ever make a cpu work like that 🙂 https://www.pcgamesn.com/amd/ryzen-7000-temperatures my am4 chip worries me if it hits 65 i have a am4 5700x with tdp of 65 the same as my old 3600, am4 has served me well but im getting tempted with dads new one 🙂
  18. Yrkoon
    looks awesome dad, just glad its all up and running with memory on expo profile 🙂
  19. Yrkoon
    we started to build it earlier and the last of the parts should be here tomorrow 🙂 heres a pic of his old one, the case was about 30 quid and is extremely old now for the shiny new one 🙂 woot motherboard and cpu installed ryzen 7000x and the corsair vengeance 6000 is installed too. woot heatsink installed, thats the easiest heat sink install ever as am5 boards seem to have the back bracket already installed as stock . the start of the annoying fiddly wires for motherboard headers 😛 yay im nearly as excited as him 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.

      hmmm sounds like a faulty card then mate 😞

    steam deck is a beast, valve sell them at a loss i think, its a magicical device that kicks ass at emulation and plays new pc games.

    the only weak point we have found as dad mentioned is the front plastic hinge pin holder, https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/hobao-vs-vs2-cnc-aluminium-front-lower-arm-holder-fr-408830 that alloy hop up is solid and what we use 🙂
