      i was lucky i had my screw driver on me i had to pry it apart on one battery and when i got home i noticed one of the last batteries had a glob of plastic on one of the connectors after trying 3 different leads on my charger lol

      Yeh i know but dreading soldering XT90 connectors to all our batteries lol :rofl:

  4. whats on my mind is the Hobao DC1 is a very good fun kit to build, i love my hyper 7 and hyper vse but building a crawler is on another level to my tamiya cars i built before, the manual for the dc1 is decent.OxTaf8x.jpg

     

    loving the dc1 it is a cracking piece of kit and i have learned a few things while building it 🙂

      I was getting a lot of discomfort/bowel problems a few years back, various doctors and specialists later (after fearing the worse...) had an endoscopy, turns out I had a hiatus hernia and was diagnosed with severe gastritis.  Suffice to say, apart from rich, creamy foods, I was also told to knock the booze on the head.  That was about 8 years ago now, not touched a drop since 🥴.  A lot less pain/discomfort now, though a pokey curry can still set it off, but I refuse to ditch those.

      Thanks guys 🙂

       

  7. took out the old touring brushless i had in the triton that was originally brushed and put in one of these so it  is waterproof again 🙂 https://www.modelsport.co.uk/hobbywing-ezrun-combo-max10-3652sl-3300kv-brushless-motor/rc-car-products/420922

     

    now im wondering what i should put my old system into, would 3250kv be too much for a grasshopper? lol

      gonna leave tread marks that grasshopper for sure brother HAHA 😆👍

    3. bertberr

      bertberr

      Is it a 2 pole or 4 pole (the 3250kv)?  If 2 pole, then with 7.2nimh or 2S lipo, I reckon you'd be OK.  That's from a tranny POV, the Hornet/GH are quite robust it seems, from a grip/handling POV, well, it will be a handful!

    4. Yrkoon

      4 pole i think lol

  8. hope my kronos won't make a habit of breaking the steering servos or it is gonna get pricey  😛

  9. found out why i had a nasty cough i could not get rid off.

     

    got taken into hospital on my birthday and multiple tests etc the next day got me diagnosed on the 3rd day with heart failure.....

     

    i was in for 8 days total, feeling much better than i was but im gonna be on meds the rest of my life.

     

    lost over a stone in just fluid which was building up all over my body and in my lungs due to my weak heart.

      Good luck on your recovery. 👍

       

      I had a similar instance a few years ago where I just thought I had pulled a muscle in my chest or something. Eventually I went to hospital and had to have fluid drained from around my heart which was crushing it which resulted in heart failure. Spent the next 4 weeks in and out of hospital as they tried to get rid of the infection which caused it.

       

      However some good news for you. I was also told that I would be on meds for the rest of my life (Diuretic's etc..) however I recovered over the next few months and I was able to come off all the heart meds as the long term damage was minimal so hold out hope for that. :)

  16. should i buy this? https://www.modelsport.co.uk/ftx-outback-mini-x-patriot-1-18-trail-rtr-red/rc-car-products/447271

     

    had a shot of dads one only a few batteries through it.

     

    wary of ftx after the surge which i had to upgrade parts on to stop it breaking, hmmm not sure, only crawler i had was a 24 scale losi....

     

    if i buy it and put a load of batteries through it will it break?

  17. really happy with my brushed triton i made brushless now, i love it,  all i need now is a servo saver that wont break easy and also steer properly :)

     

    in the sweet spot between the brushed and brushless one  :D

     

    very old orion vortex 3250 kv for a touring car with a  rw 10 tooth 32dp pinion, has fierce poles though and mental cogging lol

     

    could push for a 11 tooth one not sure i might  :P

      And I have two old Hyper 7's, bit ratty, but loads of fun.  Love how cheap all the parts are for them, even compared to some 1/10 rigs,,, Prob something to do with the fact they're about 50 years old now...
