Gaz!

Saw that video and whilst on the one hand, it looks really good, but the stuff thats carried through from the regular Trx4m, nice to see that servo is now fitted as stock too. I just dont have the need for one….although if they did a conversion kit and i could get one reasonably priced, who knows?? 

I’m still holding out for a Trx8m variant of this great little rc, that id be all over like a rash!!!

I really like this idea, would be better if the cab was a little bigger though.

otherwise id be very tempted although i have no real use for it truth be told….

Are you coming back mate?? 

Congratulations to you both, hope you had the day you wanted 

Hmmm, looks very interesting. I bet it will touch four figures price wise, still might be worth replacing the x-maxx for it…. And i would still like a Losi pro-moto. Time to start playing a lottery of some form…

Oh Alex…….

I typed 2024 Tamiya releases and got a YouTube video, honestly wish id not have searched.

there is at least 3 that i quite fancy, 1st being that Volvo fh16 

If it were the one in the last pic, that may well be a different story.

unfortunately now though, people will bolt any old crap to a rc, call it custom and ask the earth for it….

maybe its this guy, 

This would be a nice display piece!!

funny now how you can win things like this, in my day it was the odd sticker left overs or a pocket screwdriver. lol.

Yep they are very nippy, to the point that it would be faster than the pug 205gti i once had. And they feel like cars to drive now as oppose to the old rattle boxes they once were.

Massive congratulations, glad mum and baby are good too 

Happy new year guys!! 

Oooh 

Yeah that FMS Unimog does look the part but its what its sat on that lets it down too much without spending a small fortune again which then leaves quite a expensive truck.

would it not be wiser to wait for a body set?? Sell the K5 shell to fund it and it wont cost a deal, or bang the K5 shell onto a new Unimog chassis and sell as a stock rtr, either way would be a saving over having them both, just a thought chap. 

I do confess, every time i see them i have to look, watched the trailer vid of it multiple times too 

Looks remarkably like a Trx4 in lots of areas.

still, i suppose in a good way, the lack of r&d in this means its cheaper on the shelves….

Have you tried Drift manji on eBay?? He has a shop too and he did sell Mst bits.

he might be on the N.R.D face ache page too if that helps??

Not just rc retailers, but in general.

i must be special, in the years ive been in the hobby, not once have i had a bad dealing with Modelsport, that why i would rather shop with them, customer service from start to end as always been 100%.

My lad has the pre painted pearl blue version of that, its a lovely bit of kit.

i really enjoyed building the trucks i/we have had over the years.

looking forward to seeing it complete and good to see you back. 

Thanks guys, appreciate the kind words.

happy belated birthday Alex 

definitely a keeper, she’s not going anywhere lol.

loads of hints and keep showing her the pics on Modelsport, its actually rare me getting any presents on my birthday as i keep it for something i see any other time of year. Other than the token gifts of course.

cough** socks… 

The green version looks very nice 

might have to investigate the rear wing mount further, making my stampede 4x4 into a truggy…

It’s all about the brand, these will sell really well over the pond being small enough to take anywhere.

i am interested to seeing a bit more of this laid bare, have they re-hashed the original losi mini crawler axles on a fancy chassis or a ground up built truck??? Hmm…..

£260 is a bit rich though, £199 and it will sell i think. 

Yep and arrived perfectly on time, over the moon with them too thanks mate 

Hopefully so mate, ive not checked as yet this morning so could be out for delivery.

plenty to get on with meantime though, getting kids cars prepped for nationals etc. 

I’ve not ordered or likely be ordering one unless i get super super lucky and ive more chance of platting fog than that happening…

you still fancying one mate??

Member will always come and go, but i say its quality above quantity 

If it ever came to it, i would not use facebook if it were the only rc groups around, too many think they are in the know, try to screw down the price and be ignorant, nah not for me…

now before i get strung up for this, bare in mind it was only a few years ago that there wasn’t any of these “entry level” (to put it politely as i can) brands out there, mainly the big brands with the odd brand popping up now and again for example Maverick were the cheaper part of the Hpi brand.

my theory on this is that someone who does want to get into this fabulous hobby is swamped by these “entry level” rc, buying one and having a bad experience for one or more reasons and giving up having not savoured something a little more “hobby grade”, which is never going to be a good thing.

the big one for and i suppose many others is the “cost of living crisis”, every time i seem to save a little for the hobby pot, along comes a bill or increase in prices, fuel is a killer, we would go out at weekends for a picnic in the Peak District or to the coast, cant do that now. Don’t get me started on food, a can of Heinz spaghetti and sausage at £1.99 a can is just ridiculous, i used to moan at £1 per can lol making many households to be able to free up £xxx on what is a luxury item, which in turn keeps new people from joining our group.

just my thoughts but i will always remain 100% loyal to Msuk forum has its helped me no end over the years. 

Sorry to hear that Rich, ill keep my eyes peeled for the sales mate
