Surprised that method was still in use 25 years ago, I was thinking much older. You might be able to tie a new cable onto the old one and pull it straight through. Otherwise it's finding a different route and recabling.

I am gonna leave it to the experts. I hoping it can be tied and fed through. If it all needs channelling out and re-laying I am gonna let the insurance cover it. 

I've learnt a lesson here.......

Wife : "can you just......"

Me: "NOooo...."

Thanks for the wishes. I am going to hand it over to PayPal if I don't get a response by tomorrow. Obviously trying to dodge the bullet. 

Through what channel did you find / buy this rc?

Sounds like a right mess of a slow rc usually ie the damage done is shoddy workmanship. Bodge it betty. Cos a summit is fairly easy on itself isnt it. Unless mamba powerd. But brushed. 

Ive done the same thing but im expecting something less than described as i saw the pics lol. Im all good and happy right now ill wait till Monday as its only 1 day. 

But i brought out of ebay from very new account i hardly do that. Ive been given tracking details but today its still saying review and try again. But i have an email with all the info. Just parcel force doesnt have record yet. 

Hopfully its just them being slow and its not been put on the system yet or something. Hopfully it just turns up on Monday. 

The money has been withheld though and he seems cool and genuine. So im happy to wait afew days. I think i need to release the funds when i receive the item so that's peace of mind. Annoying for him though regardless they should atleast hand ovet the postage cost. 

If only.  Mine was heading that way till some prat wiped my old 1 series out on a roundabout, totally his fault and zero loss on my side but premiums still jumped.

Come live where I do ....then try and get a £250 quote...

I pay double that for my 900 Honda Hornet with 19yrs NCD at 50years old. The wife pays £400 for a 6 year old Vauxhall Meriva....

i was tempted myself but would have to save up first though.

If that's the Talion, they're supposed to be superb Truggys.

yeah i think it was.

cant seem to find the thread now.

You after a yeti xl?

Nope, other way around buddy. The XL never gets used. Looking for a summit. 

You need to start a wanted/sale/swap add in the appropriate forum, the status bar isn’t the place for them 

Thanks  

That's not good, I've got a Flysky for a couple of my cars, quite like it. Rx are cheap too, added bonus. 

With cheap radios...sometimes you get a bad one. QC costs money.

It's all part of the risk of cheap. I use a GT3B and have had it for years. Works great. I also have a Sanwa MT04....which is lovely to use. RXs are pricey... and for the cost of one Sanwa RX, I can buy a Flysky radio and another 4 receivers.

It's all a question of choice .

That's why I gave up on the futaba I had a few years back......yes they are very good, quality is great....but some of the FASST receivers are astronomical @£70+

Scared stiff of it getting damp

Switched to cheapo stuff, when it fails after 12 months just buy another set.....

eh? i thought you sold it mate

Very nearly did. Buyer had a change of plan and it's been sat on a shelf ever since.  Might as well make use of it. 

get the right towing equipment 

Open door - throw pipe bomb - walk away....

I briefly worked at lunar caravans, its surprising how little holds them together!

Also works on buses

Transporter driver matey? we used to get manhiem come into hintons a lot to auction  the police PACE cars etc drove some nice cars in there we had that 550bhp white evo round the yard that went on topgear to get blown up by that tank haha thing was a beast lol

Not quite bud, I repo finance cars. Jag xf and a range rover today. But done all sorts. Ferrari California a couple weeks ago and one of the boys has done a veyron. 

Nice mate we used to get  a lot of the drug dealers cars which were nice etc we had a crashed up lambo in once drunk driver etc

The smell of failure  

It's better than the smell of fear! 

I like the green and blue sparks, very pretty 

Good luck. 

Going to be a big change but new job sounds a lot more interesting.

Looking forward to it mate. Too old for the cold now. 

Can understand that. Now if only the following was you typical garage though.  

Yes I do RM. It was a pull I got to admit, and I wouldn't mind betting there may be a lump or 2 as my mouth is saying those words. 

I have already had and offer of driving. Basically collecting and dropping off end of lease vehicles. Make my own diary start and finish when i like, as long as the cars a delivered that's all that matters. Oh... And an extra 4k p/a. 

Brand new truck, phone, tablet, fuel card and I.D card already in the making. 

Sounds sweet! Take it! You'll soon be using that truck to take all the leccy cars back to their respective addresses when they've run out of charge! 

Hadn't thought about that Clive. Be getting some overtime in there.lol. 

Thanks Gaz . Well I took the punt. Full cage, tranny plate, battery plate and all hardware. Brand new, £15 delivered. Think it's from a kit. 

Can’t argue with that mate, keep us posted on how you get on 

Will do. Hopefully it's link length that's gonna be the only stumbling block. ?

Ahh that’s not too bad then, still 22 years of diesel burning then for the landy, worst case scenario is run it on chip fat.....

hydrogen cell technology is the way forward, government can’t tax fresh air though so won’t be available just yet.

prius? Only electric car I can afford is Rc 

Just sat and read the new test rules for HGV's. What a farce. Most heavy haulage and recovery kit is currently MOT exempt for a reason, they don't fit in MOT test centres or test lanes but the clowns in charge now say they need to be tested. Interesting times ahead for us all. The new diesel car emissions thing is aimed at one thing, get them off the road and us into petrols which the rules change on in a year or so. The new rule for them will be tax rate set every year at emissions test result level of co2 not claimed figures. Hands in our pockets again.

All I can say is..... its a good job I know the local tester well....

A nice bottle of beer along with your payment goes a long way...

Distributor is now showing it as 04/09 availability.  

I am gutted. Was supposed to get it tomorrow and have a weekend messing before back to work Tuesday. 

Gives you fair chance to change your mind 

Try it and see without pics it's a guessing game to be honest 

Won't hurt to try, just keep in mind you might have to take an offer  

Fair enough guys. Cheers for the replys. 

I think it's gonna be my last American purchase until miss may sorts a trade deal. ?

The handling fee depends on the given PO apparently.

According to my local one anyway, who like to charge 12 lol.

They gave a receipt. Turns out £8.79 is VAT and £8 royal mail handling charge. 

The last thing I bought from there was the same motor for my old MTE, it didn't get busted 

Sweet. Cross fingers then. Cheers AJ. 

Usually if it's a reasonable amount I pay the extra $5 for the gift option.

Never been stung 

Cool, the YXL is on my want list  

I am hoping it's a bargain.  Paid 225 for it. It's the kit already built up as a roller. Been used 1/2 dozen times. Looks pretty mint. 

Me too I nearly orderd the kit last week it's definitely a beast. It's a tad smaller than the xmaxx isn't it.

I saw an xmaxx with baja trenchers fitted tho and that would be cool too. My trucks could share boots then. 

Why doesn't he just reply to your wanted thread?

Dunno AJ. Given up now. Got my beady on something else.  

I tried to point him in the right direction yesterday lol

 Can smell the motor burning from here already 

I need to get a gps. It said 47mph for my Truggy and it doesn't look too far off it  

Ullysse or something speed add is very good for android. I used it in the car once and it was accurate. But rc is small and they get ther readings over distance or something but still worth a blip. 

It said I jogged at 10mph ran at 15 nearly. That was just up and down the garden.  

Lol. I am geared 26/52 so it should be a little mental. Just need the rain to do-one now so I can take it out. There WILL be a vid for this.

Around £150 quid I would guess..   did you check eBay?  They may be a little less these days...  

£25 ish.  Can be got for £40 all in new. 

Yeah looked at the bay, never seem to come up used. 25 ish sounds good to me

 Cheers.

Armed and dangerous, afraid of us. Straight up wee no angel dust. 

Seven day in the morning. Idk 

That's the only big track I've played over the years it's always put onto my mixes. 

Runnin?????? I always forget the title.  I prefer bone thugs bit tbh.
