looks awesome 🙂

sounds good i cant wait to see the finished project, i really love the old school buggy looks 🙂

welcome to the forum, im fond of the grasshoppers my self i got the re release of 1 and 2 🙂

model sport and wheelspin models are my go to ones 🙂 then the likes of amazon do good batteries for good prices and flea bay for more obscure stuff.

the postie brought me many things but mainly a kit for star trek voyager 😄 glue arrived as well and i just spent about 40 quid on paint and ill still be raiding dads paint stash of old paint and i just remembered i might have useful paint for it in a large box with the rest of my revell corvette that is 2/3rds finished lol 😛 in no rush for the paint to arrive as i still have to finish my first ever gundam and build the freedom RG one i havent touched yet, i noticed a jar of decall softner in dads paint when i was having a look through it earlier, that might prove useful 🙂

Not yet but probably will at some point once i finish this and the other RG one i got as well 🙂

oh just found this 🙂 https://www.gunpla101.com/gunpla-symbols-explained/

aye deffo good to build, i have had to work out what some of the symbols mean as their a lot more japanese than a tamiya, but easy enough 🙂 oh just bought these to help with the decals 🙂 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Y2D44YV/ref=pe_27063361_485629781_TE_item

technically yesterday but i made progress on the gundam model 🙂 really nice kits to build im enjoying them and got another one for after this one, gotta build the shield and gun next i think and then the massive booster pack 🙂 got some tamiya sprue cutters coming later today and gonna buy some fine tip model tweezers for the transfers 🙂

looks kool 🙂

i started building a model kit but its not rc........ the gundam seed strike pics need rotated but imgr is been screwed at the moment lol i am not looking forward to the tiny transfers theres my progress, the knees bend and the feet also bend and rotate, fully articulate and no glue or paint, its a joy to build, reminds me of building a tamiya 🙂 first time i built something like this and im impressed with the detail and quality, theres even fully detailed lnternals for the legs that the armour is covering. im that impressed im gonna buy more of them, lot more fun than a revel or air fix kit and the quality is above and beyond so far 🙂 might get the archangel ship next payday to go along with the strike, then the freedom and i just realised i opened a massive money sink lol 😄 just bought the freedom one for about 50 quid, since the strike sucks, its leccy and the freedom has a nuclear reactor 😛

dont know what weight oil is in mine as the guy i got it from serviced the diffs before i got it.

awesome pics bud 🙂

i edited the above post slightly 😛

i forgot about that one and its also the quickest, in a few hours the battery will be fully drained 🙂

some guys dad included hook up a wee fan or a led light and just let it drain in a safe space in the garden

yeh thats exactly what happened on 4s with 2 2s batteries on a very hot summer day, we changed all our 8 scales to xt90 after that. the deans connectors fused on one of the conections with melted plastic a bit lol xt90 for any thing bigger than 10 scale now 🙂

zee are awesome as dad (stormbringer has said) the only weird thing i had was charging a sunpadow i think, the charger would alert to me to something and say fully charged but it wasnt so i restart and the charger charges a bit more then all good 🙂

extension lead to garden and do the discharge then keep it in garden till u can get rid 🙂

never heard of them tbh. model sport and wheelspin models are my 2 main ones to go to 🙂

Electric conversion or buy a leccy vse and use the nitro one for spares 🙂

yeh compared to the tracker 1 it was a pos, bert got it running though on brushless when i traded him it for a tamiya ta-04, he found the gear box was missing a bearing which caused all our problems out the box lol if it wasnt for the tracker 2 though i wouldnt of bought the far superior corally triton to bash about the garden in lock down and now corally are one of our fav makes of models 🙂 corally customer service is second to none, i sent a video of my brushless converted triton on the snow while enquiring about somthing else and the head guy emailed me back to replace one of the bearings as its a bushing on the brushed one and gave me all the exact dimensions for it, also when my corally kronos broke a steering servo they sent me a new one no cost 🙂

this threads from 3 years ago lol

i tend to let em build up but i tend to have my most used ones on the specktrum dx5c, doesnt help that a lot of the smaller scale cars come with inbuilt esc/rx combos which means transmitters every where lol
