  1. Been fairly busy with this cute little dude... 

    Volador builds & Benny Volador builds & Benny Volador builds & Benny Bella, Benny & Ralph Bella, Benny & Ralph

    He's 11 weeks old, called Benny. He's confident and unbelievably well behaved so far for a puppy. 

    He's now got a thing for going after my tiny whoops.

      traxxas need a kick up the ass tbh hopefully it hurts them a bit but not enough to get put out of business.

       

      knowing them though they will just raise the prices again to compensate for any lawsuits or fines.

       

      i like their models but not the business practices, only got a rustler, bandit and trx 4 in my large collection.

  6. Just watched the New Wallace and Gromit film, and I think they did a brilliant job finding a replacement voice for Wallace, since the passing of Peter Salis

     

    Forever a Wallace and Gromit fan tho!

  8. Just been looking at my fcx24m and don’t think I’ll be able to work on it being so small just got a load of brass upgrades for it as well

     

    I’m jutted 😩

      i have the axial scx 24 and yeh its so tiny to work on, thankfully the only thing i had to do to mine was use a wee bit nitro fuel tubing to stiffing up the shocks, doing any thing else to it would be scary with out quality drivers for the small screws.

       

      made shock spacers out of nitro tubing 🙂

      yeh was already pricey then they chuck that extra cost on and to top it off the last one i tried when building my wild one buggy had range issues.

       

      might go dumbo next time, had a spare 2 at old price but one has stupid range and had it sitting here for a while so cant exactly claim warranty lol 🙂

  16. Hobby after leaving RC  No place to run RC cars in my area so trying to find something to do in its place.  Tried lego, but gave that up quick. A bit about my history,  I have been messing with electronics my whole life  and  im good at woodwork & metal fabrication.  Just like working with my hands.  I was also offered a place at art collage when it really meant something.

  18. Been concentrating on rc racing for the last couple of years and now looking to get a buggy to go bashing with again. After numerous searches and YT reviews I am looking at the Corally Syncro 4, any owners on here willing to pass judgement ?.

      10 scale corally tritan converted to brushless in snow, i love corally cars.

       

       

      i sent that vid to the head of corally and he responded telling me i should replace a bushing with a bearing in the gear box since its brushless now and gave me the dimensions for the bearing i needed, now that is customer service 🙂
