wow that is some skillful flying never mind the rockets, sea gulls would be like nope 😄

yup amazon here too with the same ones stormbringer my dad mentioned gens ace are ok as well and msuk sells them but pricier 🙂

main thing with nitro is noise even getting a new one broken in can be a massive pain if neighbours come out shouting, dad has a hpi trophy im gonna completely strip it as the parts are super expensive and it was getting leaked on in a dodgy shed, hpi are in a precarious position and are not what they used to be unfortunatly. leccies are a lot faster than any nitro now and a lot more quiet, i converted my hobao hyper 7 black to leccy and havent looked back, the power of 8 scale brushless motors is super stupid 😄 before the pandemic a hyper vse 100 amp rtr that runs on 4s could be had for 325 quid 🙂 we still have a few nitros but we never use them. get a hobao st over a trophy any day, its more robust and parts are more plentiful and a lot cheaper 🙂 https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/hobao-hyper-st-truggy-rtr-26445 heres a video of the hyper st i bought second hand that also came with a esc and motor for a amazing price, it runs good and used to be nitro, that is just 4s and i was going easy on it as first run , the esc i got with it can use 6s 🙂

lol cosmo is so cute there 🙂

looks awesome in the air dad and love the retractable wheels 🙂

grab slightly older games on sale with dlc included like game of the year editions or complete ones, a lot of the time dlc is just nonsense and try the dark souls series for something very atmospheric and brutal 🙂

wut? theres tons of console games that arent 🙂 try dark souls 🙂 or grab xbox game pass and try a load for a monthly fee, i use game pass on my pc for 8 quid a month 🙂

i find at 'times i have to force my self to start playing something then i get hooked lol

looks awesome dad 🙂

botw 2 should be a belter if its as good as the first one, got quite a back log on switch and pc, ps5, yet i cannot stop myself buying more games lol 🙂

playing horizon forbidden west on ps5 at the moment and recently played a lot of dying light on pc and started dying light 2 🙂

what model is that? it looks like there shoud be a holder on the front as well, to hold the bearings in place which in turn holds the shaft and gears in place. once the covers are secured dont over tighten them and then we can think about tight meshing etc. i assume the car worked good before u switched it to brushless? does the motor mount have a slot or fixed screw holes? it sounds like something daft which will be easily fixed, we all do daft stuff starting out and i still do 🙂

maybe your screwing in the cover that fits on to tight and the top of the spur gear is catching it? deffo need the covers inplace.

as big ginge says try switching 2 of the 3 wires on the brushless motor, can you give us any more info on what esc it is and the motor? also what receiver and transmitter are you using? the more info we have the better we can narrow it down, it sounds like something easily solved if we get more info 🙂 theres thousands of esc and motor combos we need info before we can help 🙂 got any pictures?

switch the motor wires around or try reversing throttle on the transmitter 🙂

you wont be disappointed it is a beast and almost unbreakable, oh the front hinge pin holders could do with upgrading, i think thats the only thing i broke on mine and you see the way i drive it, dad also broke the same part too lol if i remember this is the part and replaces the stock plastic one https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/hobao-vs-vs2-cnc-aluminium-front-lower-arm-holder-fr-408830 no other breakages cept for a slight bend in the chassis with my nut job driving 🙂 edit: for future reference bud the max 10 esc/motors are for 10 scale models, the max 8 is what you want on a 8 scale and max 6 for 6 scale etc 🙂

bit of a gamble, if the esc or rx is faulty or is it the tx controller, either way it looks like it might start getting pricey over the cost of the car 😞

yup m8 the side part on they tires go before the tread lol

i have these wheels and tyres on my hyper vse and my hyper 7 'converted to leccy and my ishima nitro https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/nanda-racing-1-8th-nanda-block-tyres-on-dish-wheels-black-2--32603 they are super grippy and will rip up any grass but make sure you have a good supply off super glue to re glue they tyres 🙂 super grippy that you can roll a buggy on its back on wet grass lol

heres a vid or 2 of stormbringer my dads one and mine both going at same time up the local quarry. pre covid the 100 amp 4s ones which we have used to be 325 quid but as with every thing the prices have been getting higher and higher so the one i linked is a bargain at the moment there are also 150 amp versions which do 6s 🙂

thought about a 8 scale buggy?, the hyper vse is a decent one 🙂 https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/hobao-hyper-vs-1-8-rtr-brushless-buggy-red-396615

im pretty sure the ion uses a 2 in 1 esc rx combo so the esc would need to be replaced as well 😞

'took the ;sand viper out for a test run after bringing it back in i rearranged the position of the steering servo and im thinking of gearing it up, it had a 17 turn graupner purple tiger brushed motor in it before and it used to get super hot but the hobbywing max ten 4000kv system on same gears is luke warm, needs more gearing plus the ground was wet so very hard to get the power down 🙂 good test run 🙂 i also misheard dad asking is it faster as go faster lol edit: i wonder if i should shim the diff gears a bit? it is a noisy car and has been getting more noisy over time and my dto3 is almost silent compared to it which has the same gearbox. the dt02 sand viper is over 12 year old as are the metal gears in its diff lol
