  1. Specifically looking to try one of these to reduce noise anyone got an old one in their parts box they would sell?
  2. Hi! Yeah I’ve been into the hobby a while but mostly tinker with stuff. Used to have a group on here back years ago that I went bashing with. There’s a couple interesting looking spots in oxshott woods and near acs cobham that I think some people have used in the past Dropped pin https://goo.gl/maps/bspbaSHU8bZPdvtw6 Dropped pin https://goo.gl/maps/2bGEQXLcxT5FZ3R98 could check them out at some point? Chris
  3. Does anyone in the Surrey area still go bashing? I’ve not been in years and don’t know if anyone is still around the area and fancies organising a bash somewhere? I’m in Egham, Surrey and have a Baja and an e firestorm. Anyone else?
  4. Would you sell and post the wheels and tyres separately? If so how much for all or just the hostile bits?
  5. This is my first 5th scale, always wanted one. It’s a beast though weighs a ton! All safety devices setup and tested!
  6. Right so about 6 weeks ago I bought a used Baja 5b from nitroholic (thanks mate!) and set about cleaning, restoring, replacing worn parts and here’s the finished article 🙂 New wing, body, bead locks, pull start, cv gaitors, exhaust coupling and various screws. Haven’t fired it up yet but lubed the engine with afterun oil after I picked it up few more adjustments to do and electrics all in and tested.
  7. My Baja that I’ve been refurbishing didn’t come with roll bars should I fit them or not bother? ive not driven it yet so have no idea how it drives anyway will be run on grass general bashing only
  8. Bump and price reduction to £12 posted
  9. Thanks but prob too far and I’m buying one of nitroholic now.
  10. Looking for a complete car either a project non runner or something in good condition price reflective.
  11. Last bump, auction for both cars ends in a few hours: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575378759&campid=5338273189&customid=&icep_item=274804700155&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229508&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg&toolid=11111 http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575378759&campid=5338273189&customid=&icep_item=274804699590&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229508&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg&toolid=11111
  12. I’d happily buy something that needs fixing up as I too get more enjoyment stripping thing down and rebuilding them, problem is the rough one people still want too much money for when you factor in just a few parts your almost up to hmthat 650 one that looks mint but then you could have problems with that too. I think in general a lot of people seem to want far too much money for rc cars, some are cheaper to buy brand new!
  13. Found a good supplier of original spur gears from the US on eBay. Ordered myself 4 a couple weeks ago and arrived today! I won’t be running out anytime soon not that I’ve ever stripped one but they do wear out! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/384031410576
  14. Brand new Hpi Firestorm/Blitz 77t 48dp Spur Gear. Part number 8700103371. This is only compatible if you have the ball diff fitted. Very hard to get these now as everywhere’s out of stock. £15 posted Dispatched with Royal Mail 1st Class.
  15. That is a genuine hpi. Can tell by the arms and various other parts
