I'll have a wee think about it, seen some on ebay . Thanks
-
Have you seen how cheap they are new? I bought a flysky tx with rx from ebay for £26. There were cheaper ones than that too, I just thought it was a reasonable model.
-
Thanks for replies guys. I couldn't touch the pipe on my ST , I did accidentally the other night and burnt myself lol
-
I broke a hex last night one the warlocks I have on my ST, looking for 1 replacement , thought somebody might have an odd wheel sitting around they might sell. This is the wheel I need, 17mm hex. Would take 2 if youll only sell a pair.

Although the weathers been fairly warm recently, Ive noticed my JP3 exhaust on my lrp .28 is roasting hot, it was near 200F at some points - real burn your finger stuff! I was giving the car quite a hard time and on thick grass so it was working hard. Would a more standard exhaust reduce temps - just thinking about what might keep the engine cooler.

Fixed my hyper St in about 5 mins flat after a slight crash last night lol. These Hobao cars are definately robust - I hit a log at a fair speed and one of the bottom front suspension arms detached ... I thought uh oh theres going to be snapped pieces needing replaced here. All I need to do was bend the pin that goes though the suspension arm straight again and reinstall it, job done! Couldnt believe it lol

Hi Folks I just got an Nx86 charger with variable outputs. What Id like to know is what is a safe charging rate for the 6v hump packs in my cars, and also the 8 AA batteries in my TX? I have it on 1 Amp at the moment as thats what my old charger ran at all the time - is it safe to use a faster charge?
-
Is it super tight like a Picco ?
-
The engine may be big , but is it a good performer? Is is it as strong as an Lrp 32 for example ?
-
Ive been reading through that owners thread. How do you find getting parts these days? Seems hard from my searches on ebay , no slipper clutches etc.
-
Just noticed it has a slipper clutch, I hate those things. Just wear out fast and cause problems in my experience.
-
Im thinking of buying a TT S50, always fancied one. Just wanted to know the opinions from you guys , should I go for one? Is it still ok to get parts for these days ?
-
Yip nice spec for sure. You could buy a gtx2 for £160-£220, buy the lrps and have one yourself for a lot less
-
Ok it's got nice bits but how much ??? Lol https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222177789699
-
Ah good thinking , I might try that but I do want everything bar TX and rx, and the engine so that doesn't leave them much room for profit on those items
-
I don't do electric , nitro only
-
Hmm its quite tempting to buy a new tq2 at £250 and sell the unused engine. Then again one more around £100 is a lot easier on the wallet lol
-
Im thinking of adding a hyper 7 to my collection , partly to see what all the fuss is about really! I really like my hyper ST so hoping I'll enjoy a 7 too. What I want to know is which model should I look out for? black, TQ .... there are quite a lot Im a bit confused. Whatever it is I'll probably ditch the standard engine and fit something better anyway, so been looking out for rollers etc.
-
A nice new gallon of byrons 25%. My first time with gen2, had old stuff before. Hopefully try it out in the hyper ST tonight
-
Basically if you order expect it to come in 5 days to a week. Rubbish !!!
-
Yeah I just went with them because they were the cheapest for this part. Modelsport and wheelspin have always had great service for me too.
-
I actually had no idea so many others have had slow service, I thought it would just be me lol
-
I doubt I'll be using them much in the future ...
-
Ordered a couple of bits from apex on Thursday last week, expecting them to be posted the next day. Paid 50p extra to get 1st class post in the hope of getting them for the weekend. We are now on Tuesday and nothing has arrived so I email chasing it up. Do I get a sorry for the delay? Nope. I just get "your order is now dispatched". Yeah thanks for the service.

That is a really nice shell
