  4. 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

  5. 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?

  6. still not better, got a call earlier saying my x-ray showed my right lung has a infection and getting blood tests the morn.

      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.

      just took down margit the fell omen boss, he was a pain in the ass but got made a lot easier with using lone wolf ashes combined with the npc summon, i went wondering about and levelled up a bit think i was about lvl 18 when i nailed him 🙂

       

      i still dont have any leg armour lol

       

      using a ps4 pad wired 🙂

  16. arrghhhh cats, as soon as one is better another one acts up 😞

     

    good news about elsa but less good news about her brother :(

    elsa is recovering awesome and is back to her normal self she just needs her fur to grow back in from where she was shaved :)

    i noticed gizmo curled up in front of my room door earlier, nothing unusual in that apart from he seemed extremely docile, usually hes pawing at my door meowing to get in, a few hours passed off me passing him coming out room etc and thought something might be up with him.

    i picked him up and put him on the windowsill and he just lied there streatched out instead of his usual getting up, he would have fell down if i hadn't of supported him, took him through to dads room and put him on the bed saying theres something wrong with gizmo.

    he ended up trying to walk and kept falling over, seemed to be mostly focused on one leg at the back but the other back one was also seeming to give him trouble.

    ten mins later he was in the car going to a pdsa vet for a out of hours appointment as our local vet was shut, they ran bloods and couldnt seem to find any thing and they dont think hes broken any thing, only thing they noticed was his bladder was pretty full, so were to take him back there the morn if he hasnt done a pee by noon.

    they gave him a pain killer as well which seems to have helped a bit and hes eating and not throwing up at all, just hoping its nothing serious, he done a poop earlier but no pee :(

    hopefully he pee's soon and then we can take him to our proper vet on monday and find out what is going on with the poor guy.

      Well took him to vet earlier this evening and he was thoroughly examined and still cant find what caused it

      We did have a vase of Carnations on table in living room and he did chew/eat some and we have since found they are toxic to cats but not causing symptoms he had . needless to say Carnations no longer in house

      The plan was to keep him quiet in livingroom for couple of days but he decided its not happening and was wall of death about the house with his sister

      So i guess thats him fully recovered lol :rofl:

      when vet lifted him onto scales she said ohh your a big boy 5.65KG

  18. 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. :)

      @Stormbringer Usually Dalgety Bay. It's either the "RC Scale Scotland", or the "Scottish RC Crawlers" group that goes there. I can't remember which!

  19. gonna be building a kong head soon, should i use a torque tuned brushed tamiya motor or a brushless system that i can rip out one of my thunder tigers, the slowest one is 3900kv

     

    but i have a tamiya torque tuned motor that came with my dt-03 spare as i went brushless on that.

     

    inspected the contents of the box earlier and it has a stock 27 turn tamiya can supplied lol

     

    edit: i also noticed theres 2 tubes of tamiya grease which makes sense as the kong head is a giant gearbox, think ill resort to using my decathlon teflon grease that i use on push bikes, worked on the dt03 and many other 10 scale models 🙂

      just got paid again so the build price has increased and i havent even started it yet lol

       

      just bought a etronix servo same as what i use in my hyper vse, a speccy receiver for my dx5c , a hobby wing 1060 esc and some tamiya metallic red spray paint as i looked around my room and realised i have too many dark or blue cars, so i havent even took it out the box yet and thats another 80 odd quid spent on it lol

       

      ill use the torque tuned motor to start with and 2 wheel steering then once i get a good feel for it ill decide on a final motor and can buy another servo the exact same for 4 wheel steering 🙂

       

      edit: also got the bearing kit from rc bearings 🙂

  20. had a go of dads mini trx4 earlier and im impressed , it weighs more than my scx24 and the ftx fury i won put together.
