Gaz!

Pm sent.

Out of interest, which servo saver did you buy for the grom mate?? i have been perusing the various options, Gpm, Injora etc. but still not 100% lol. i think you should lay that wheel to rest now….was it a good impact??

The “fragile” ones would go mad at this today. wonder if he could of managed the London Marathon in that outfit

Wow that looks a bargain!! just enough small differences so as not to attract the Traxxas lawyers though. I guess with NO r&d to pay for Cabello might be on a winner with this.. Looks much better for the wheel & tyre combo you have gone for too.

That’s stunningly beautiful!! looks fast just parked up. Another “Concorde” moment for British engineering at its finest.

Bump. i have sourced a Hobbywing 1060 esc to include. this now requires a set of tyres to and a suitable battery to run. i can have this with me at the Nationals on Sunday May 4th to save on postage/fees.

Bump. open to offers. will be able to have with me at the Nationals on Sunday May 4th to save on postage/fees.

Ahh, you had me worried for a moment there mate. Would you believe im happier now that it’s getting the use it deserved. Again, thank you. It was a absolute pleasure doing business I shall have to keep an eye out for you mate, i have seen your Nissan truck there before and i bet we haven’t been a million miles away from each other at some point….. im only going Sunday for a couple of hours, its my eldest daughter’s birthday Saturday so dont fancy missing out. rc wise, i have foam lined a small ammo tin to house all the mini/micro lipos in, hopefully get out for a bit over the weekend with the Mini-t.

Put me down for one, ooosh it does looks fabulous!!! yeah the older ones were labelled as 1:36 scale but side by side i dont think there would be much in it i think…the newer micros are definitely longer wheelbase. That being said, i would love to have one of the original Micro-t’s in my collection…… a massive step up is better electrics with more choice should you wish to swap them out.

Did you kill the Srt servo mate??

Any pics?? to be fair the micro-b my lad has is very impressive, its based on the 1/10th Losi 22. at least the kids will have something to get me for my birthday..

You never know mate and i can promise, I didn’t get any closer to look

Yep, my lad did the exact same in the gloopy mud, that took care of the stock motor though and it stank out the car on the way home….

Kays fasteners or Bolt base on eBay are my go to but again i usually buy 50 of the same at a time, then top up as required. this is the thing for me though, softer materials could well create grief down the line trying to put a cut in the bolt head with the dremel etc. that can be a absolute nightmare of a job on any rc or application. good quality hardware and tools will make a difference

Very much appreciated mate.

I’ve been saying that for years mate. over the years we (me, the lad and daughter all have 1) have only gone through 3 stock steering servo’s, 1 stock motor, stock front bumper mount and 2 mirrors. Which is incredible considering how much hammer they have taken over the years. between the Trx4 and the Trx4m, Traxxas made a big step forward in the crawling world whatever the haters say. i actually charged a lipo and sat messing about on the patio for a hour with the little Losi mini-t, throughly enjoyed it too!!

Hi mate, i can vouch for you too as a long term valued member any trades at all?? I have loads up for sale id love to do a deal with… if not, would you sell the Ir40 shell separately?? cheers.

Bump. come on guys, this is a cheap rig to bash about

Bump. also for sale elsewhere. open to offers/trades/swaps etc.

I believe Tamiya do the Mini again?? but there are some different chassis to look at, most of the “M” chassis labelled are the Mini scale and will work. The old M03 chassis was epic though, made for some proper fun and cheap racing here you go, and before somebody screams its the wrong wheel base, i am aware. These as far as i am aware can be built up to accept the Tamiya Mini shell, using differing parts in the kits or available separately. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/tamiya-escort-mkii-rally-mf-01x-1334538 These will need some wheels/tyres and body shell. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/tamiya-m-07-concept-chassis-kit-420907 https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/tamiya-m-08-chassis-kit-440893 These are all Mini sized and will take a Tamiya shell. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/tamiya-citroen-2cv-rally-m-05ra-437886 https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/tamiya-1000-tcr-berlina-corse-mb-01--1349197 Here are all the “M” chassis type cars, https://www.modelsport.co.uk/rc-models-toys-9900/rc-electric-models-990010/tamiya/m-05/m-05ra/m-06/m-07/m-08/mb-01/mf-01x? Finally whilst your putting a basket together get a set of rubber shielded bearings from Rcbearings on eBay or they have there own site and a bit cheaper. as regards to the electrics, inc batteries, chargers, radio gear, servo’s, motors and esc’s. I would say buy the best you can afford, some stuff is cheap for a good reason. its a load to go through mate, but when your both out together and laughing and being happy, thats worth more than the money it costs…… imo cheers, Gaz.

Welcome to the forum buddy, I'm sure we can help, theres a vast wealth of knowledge on here i would start doing a little list of all the rc that catch your eye, post up the links to them and we can then go from there. its easy to spend money on something thats crap and puts you off the hobby, we dont want that, we want your and your lad to enjoy the hobby together, myself and my lad both do “rc” he has grown up with it and is now very knowledgeable to the point he is on a auto mechanic course at college. please feel free to ask away!! Gaz.

hi, looking for a couple of the plastic ramps please, i believe they are advertised for skateboards primarily. can collect within reason or willing to pay postage if needed. i have lots to trade with too if that would help….. thanks for looking, Gaz.
