Leeds savage

OK - got a response from the Parks department . . . sounds like nothing is going to change at present. . . . Wont affect me as I am attempting to sell up (if anyone has a view on my thread in for sales PM me, I think its now very cheap but not shfiting. Need it gone as I am being made redundant)! "Thank you for your enquiry. Attached is a copy of the current byelaws. There isn't a byelaw that specifies you cannot use a remote control car for instance but please note Part 2 Byelaw No.12 "Missiles" . There is however a specific byelaw that restricts the use of remote controlled Aircraft and Model boats. We are not aware of any incoming Byelaw that may affect radio controlled models at the present time but this may be reviewed in the future. Thank you for bringing your enquiry to our attention and if we can help you with any other aspects of our parks please do not hesitate to contact us .

Please can you confirm if this is correct and if so provide a link to any information on this ? Proposed law, justification etc. Kind regards"

Prices dropped 7th July Hi All, Time has come to sell up. Due to having a little one I realise I can

I have emailed the parks department last wednesday but no response so far.

Even better - test run complete finally, 60 secs on the street and its going to kill me to sell this!

Thanks Toxic. sorted - wrong way round! numpty.

Now, when I switch it on I get the start up tune, red and yellow flashing and a beep beep beep beep . . .

Thanks Toxic. I have tried to recalibrate but get no response. Process of elimination therefore sugest the reciever to transmitter bind ? does that sound right? I am using the older traxxas TQ 2.4 2 channel and can't remember how to bind it! Doh. This is what happens when you leave things in the cupboard too long.

Anyone any ideas at all?

OK. I now get to a point where there red and yellow are flashing and beeping. Do I need to re-bind or something? if so, how? Cheers

Hi, Slowly getting around to putting my truck back together. I plugged the batts in thinking I would just test the drive train before finishing up. Its on a traxxas 2.4. When I plugged then in first time around it beeped a lot and then the yellow light flashed. Got not response to control. Any ideas? cheers

Sorry - forgot you were interested in it ! sold it to grumpy gramps on here but he ended up with two so may be able to do you w reasonable price on one.

Hi, I bought some parts off eBay to fit on my savage flux. The trouble is the package says its for the 5sc flux but no mention of savage. The parts are the battery box supports and fixing eBay item number 140956473131 they look a bit bigger than necessary but the seller claims they are the same. Does anyone know if they fit before I open the packet? Cheers

Noj- do you have a link to propose bye law please? I would like a read before I write my ward councillor.

Hi Noj, Just so you are aware, probably just over a year ago we were asked to move on from Horsforth Park. I spoke to the Local Authorities Parks office department at the time. At that point he advised there was no specific by-laws, but there was a by-law requiring us to do whatever the park keepers asked - i.e. leave. He was sympathetic to our needs, and after 20mins on the phone agreed the council should make some provision, however he felt the best way forward was to formalise our group and agree a location for use. This just does not work with the group becuase no one wants the hassle of formalising it and more importantly we liek to vary our bashes to keep it interesting and fun. I note that skaters, BMX, dog walkers and even picnic eaters are not required to become formal organisations to have their needs met - therefore why should people using RC in a sensible manner? You could offer to meet them in the middle? i.e. draw up Leeds City Council guidelines for use of RC in public parks, simple things like: Avoiding unsociable hours and key dates when we know event are on. Ensuring ones vehicles are fit for use. Cleaning up afterwards. Avoiding flower beds or lawned areas, particularly when wet. Avoiding conflict with other user groups. Fail safe must be fitted. All fuel to be kept in propoer containers and any spillage covered with saw dust. Just a few ideas, but the point being they could come to a meet, look at some models, talk about the safety features and make some sensible decisions rather than just banning things they probablu know very little about. Cheers
