  1. Just ordered some bits from Jenny’s RC, shipping notification within 28 mins, not as quick as MB, but still very impressive 👍

      Do you have to lube up for the import tax?

      First time I’ve ordered from there for years, but @Kpowell911says he’s never had to pay import tax using them and he uses them loads 👍

      Ive not paid an import charge since Covid tbh. Watch us all get stung now

  2. If anyone has had a pm from reefsteve, just ignore it, he was banned yesterday, afer being reported about 6 times 🤣🤣🤣

  3. It’s that time again to remind members that you should only comment on sales adds if you are interested in buying the item, as per the rules of the forum…

     

     

     

  4. I just ordered a small part from MB Models, had a dispatch notice in 3 mins, that’s must be some kind of record 😂

      Honestly mate, I know its Traxxas ESC, but I was well impressed with mine on 4s, its around 20mph (in second), and steering improved massively with a decent single servo for steering. I have a Power HD Micro Switch servo too, diff ones are stock for now

      @Alex97 the onboarding process is really important to retain new members, so I don't want to put restrictions in their way in case they give up using the forum. AJ is doing a sound job. :lol: 

    4. .AJ.

      .AJ.

      The threads and posts I’ve removed look completely legit when first posted, ive even replied to them myself, but when the same thread appears a few weeks later posted again word for word or they stupidly copy and paste a reply I’ve made early, they give themselves away 🤣🤣🤣

  8. Any Appliance Electronics codes about?

    1. Kpowell911

      Kpowell911

      Oh no, they do codes? Hopefully someone has one!

    2. .AJ.

      .AJ.

      They have in the past, I’ll ask the owner on FB, I find it cheeky asking for a code when they are the cheapest for nearly everything already 🤣🤣🤣

    3. JonnyUK

      JonnyUK

      I know they are running one on the Vitavon stuff, VIT5, but not seen any other codes about.

      That website is pretty amazing, the amount of stock they carry is spot on.  Ordered a few things from them and shipping is very quick.

      I used up the pallet of bog roll I bought after I binged on the 4 crates of pasta I stockpiled.

       

      well...4p a litre increase....lets see...the Harley has a 1.5 gallon tank so I could rush out and save 30p if I am quick....but as I filled up Wednesday, I won;t even make the 5l minimum delivery 🙂

      Last time people were panic buying fuel I got so wound up one day leaving Asda trying to negotiate through all the panic buyers I ended up letting a few of them know what I thought of them. :lol: 

      It's that classic media driven "self-fulfilling prophecy" at work again. 

  12. Bought a load of parts to try and do a 1/8 buggy to SCT conversion, but can’t get the width right, so just bought a SCT truck instead 🤣🤣🤣

      stupid question and you probably already checked but could you send these guys a message and see if they can make you one?

      its in Germany though.

      Modelsport sell POS bumpers, but they are really expensive for what they are 

  16. I’ve spent weeks looking for nicer bumpers for my TRX4, but I’m still no closer to actually buying any 😂

      froggy8

      yeah ive done that too 😄 

    3. Gaz!

      Gaz!

      I used to make my own too, but since owning the trx4’s, I found a bumper I’m happy with, in keeping with the scale looks, another factor is now it costs more in the raw materials/welder/electric than it does buying a Chinese bumper and inc. postage, that’s the reason I stopped doing them for other people.

       

      is there a bumper that could be modified to fit and look how you want?

       

      have you not asked if anyone would make you one mate?

    4. .AJ.

      .AJ.

      I like the stock chrome style on the bronco, but they scuff up to easy, ive found a set in stainless steel, but when I do my blackout style body I’m pretty sure chrome bumper will look rubbish 😂

  17. Royal Fail do my nut, bought some bits from wheelspin on Wednesday, due for delivery Friday but rebooked it for today because  I was at work, looked at the tracking this morning and it’s no where to be since, so it will be 5 day + for deliver for something that should have been 48hour, about time we just scrapped them useless idiots

      i must be lucky then. banggood delivery from China, ordered 7 days ago, delivered yesterday by royal mail.

      thats 6 days from China to my doorstep, and royal mail for the final delivery.

  18. Does anyone know if a updated Corally Radix 4s is on the way? I’m thinking about getting one, but would be gutted if a new one was realised soon after 😂

      not really no, if it bothers you the new parts fit anyway. There was a picture of it but I can't find it now. it basically replaces the hinge pin with a screw in one like the Kronos XTR

      I had a £200 Vax carpet cleaner replaced no questions asked, they didn't even get the old one back before I got the replacement the next day! I think it's mad, could easily abuse the system but I guess that's just a risk retailers take for selling on there!

    3. Bajadre

      Bajadre

      true nick some sellers on there worry more about bad feedback so are willing to take a lose at times i always order alot of things before xmas off amazon only once in 4 yrs somethings turn up after the 25th and both got refunded to me 👍

    4. Yrkoon

      Yrkoon

      about 2 year ago i ordered a ryzen 5 3600 cpu and amazon sent me a ryzen box with some ones old manky intel i5 inside...... and it was even lower spec than the i5-6600k  i was trying to upgrade from... lol

       

      they wouldn't do any thing untill they had the manky i5 and box back then they offered me a refund or send another ryzen out, happened a few days before christmas and it was sorted a day or 2 before new years eve.

       

      another time i ordered a switch game and some thieving git had sliced the seal a bit and took the game so i got sent a empty game box, got onto them and they sent out another one.

       

      think thats about the only problems i ever had from them and to be fair they did rectify the issues.
