  1. I'm convinced if you had 8 10000mah lipos some whopper would still tell you they'd be worried about run times! 🤦‍♂️

      Sounds just like Facebook 😂

    2. Paul Busby

      Paul Busby

      have a like for effective use of the term, "whopper" 🤣

  2. Can you run two lipos in parallel with the same capacity and voltage but different C rating? Been that long I can't remember

      Cheers mate. Can't seem to find a 3s 4000mAh Nano-tech with 40-80C. They all seem to be 35-70C from what I've seen. Dang it! 🤦‍♂️

    3. Badkad

      NO, not two different voltages in Parallel! You will burn the lesser voltage lipo and damage the higher one!

      Yea sorry, I run 4 and 6s in series for 10s 👍 

  3. Decided to pull my finger out and get my YouTube channel sorted :D

      I used to, but not so much anymore, if you notice, he tends to only use certain products... Probably that's what gives him the best mark up in his eBay shop :lol: like you say, he breaks them a lot, so it's not as if he uses them because they're the best :rolleyes:

    3. RCbutcher

      RCbutcher

      Same but still like his videos. Its funny watching him work on them. I like that he abuses his rcs though. 

       

      When he argued with an old man i thought that was stupid. You cant win with an old boy in the countryside. Its standard. Plus respect the olders law. He started cheerleading himself and put me off. 

       

      I got bullied off the park once by a man and his dog, i just walked away for 10min. Didnt even tell him the gate only says no dogs lol. Which it does. 

    4. Sharkfat78

      Sharkfat78

      It was when the old bloke said, "Don't argue with me son" lol. I'd have proper lost my rag at that point and told him to do one

      Wow, they look good, I will have a proper look soon.

  8. So with Team Associated partnering up with Horizon, does that mean MS will stop doing TA stuff too? Doesn't affect me personally but I doubt it'll be a good thing for the UK. Who knows?

      Si Coe

      CML Distribution are still the UK supplier for Team Associated and that doesn't sound like its about to change. You may also be able to get them via Horizon but they won't be the primary source, so places like Modelsport shouldn't have a problem. Not that MS would be my first port of call for the sort of racing orientated stuff that forms most of Associated range.

      What might prove interesting is who has the better supply network and can get new stuff to you faster....

    3. Oh How Original

      Oh How Original

      Out of interest @Si Coe - where would you recommend for AE stuff?

      There's a couple of bits I want for my SC10 but struggling to source via eBay, I'm not sure of anywhere else to try.

    4. Si Coe

      Si Coe

      You can order direct from CML via their Shopatron. If anyone in their supply chain has the part it will show up.

      I could care less :) Thats the one does me. 

       

      This, every time! I try and explain (usually to yanks) that what they've just said means the opposite to what they mean but they just don't get it.

    4. Fly In My Soup

      Fly In My Soup

      Lol, it annoys me too when the yanks forget how to pronounce words properly...

       

      Or when they completely forget how to even spell words correctly...Like tires instead of tyres

       

      Oh well...You say potato, i say potarto....You say tomato, i say tomarto....Or so the song goes

       

  10. Anyone know what the going rate is for a decent E-Revo and Stampede?

      Only used them when could not find stuff elsewhere, although always had good service, via their eBay shop.

    3. Oh How Original

      Oh How Original

      Depends which MMR... If you mean MMR Large scale then it seemed to go back when Ian left and Saj took over.

      So many people have had issues... Then again, Wheelspin are awful too and they're still going lol.

      A backside for every seat, as they say.

      I'd buy from MMR if I needed the part... I'd do without the part if it was WS though.

      Not tried the servo, but if you haven't used the site before I would recommend E-Mailing them first about stock, I ordered an exhaust from them and after something like 8 days was told they had no stock... They're nice to talk to and everything, very apologetic, but stock levels aren't always super accurate.

  14. Where have all the LRP nitro engines gone?

      I can still source new ones - I expect the German market thus has loads.  NOt sure what's happening at LRP atm.

    3. RCbutcher

      RCbutcher

      I found a ton the other day but i think they are the original lrp 28. 

       

      £120 ish for everything inc air filter pipe clutch the whole engine package. Mayb alil cheaper with searching. 

    4. RCbutcher

      RCbutcher

      Agreed on used engines but i have brought and sold afew and never had issue.  

       

      I brought a used picco .26 sold as repairs but like new cosmetic condition. I took it apart cleaned the needles and boom first pull starter everytime i just had to finish breaking it in. 

       

      A tiny flake of metal was on the hsn tip stopping fuel get through lol. Basically got a new engine for  £50 lol. 

  15. Do I give my new Clodbuster the standard paint scheme or go black with true fire? Hmm

      i had to watch youtube to see how to do it :D 

    3. RCbutcher

      RCbutcher

      HPI everytime. Well once i thought ide try a cheaper ca glue no name CA glue. It ruined 2 tires i dont know how some bad reaction gave the rubber a green gooie skin. Possibly the proline yellow dot reaction to glue. 

       

      But the hpi stuff also gives you a nice nozzle that really helps keep it neat. 

       

      I have a new bottle of hpi ca glue. After i use it i bet the rest dries up. So if you want ill take £2.50 for whatevers left when im done. So long as 50% atleast is left over. 

       

      Im gluing 2.8 sized tires tho so unsure how much will be left. I think i had 70% left after gluing some buggy 1/8 tires. 

       

      But if youre gluing 3.8s idk if theyll be enough after the 2.8s could be tho. it always dries up after 1st use tho. 

    4. RCbutcher

      well used once then left for months lol. not straight away.

      I never order just before the weekend,at the weekend or just after if I can help it as I know there will normally be a backlog of orders.

      Normally order Tuesday-Thursday so all being well I will get it before the end of week one way or another.
