  1. Blue or bronze or blue or bronze or blue or bronze…..

     

    Not bought an actual new rc for so long I’d forgotten how hard decisions like this are 🤪

      tbf Ross 4s is the sweet piont with a MT, 6s just pure manic tyre rippers lol i rarely run 6s now mostly 4s plenty of power and less breakages 👍

      yeah been watching hogswart looks epic man !!

      I've not even really looked into it tbh but I do like a good rpg and I'm not against the potterverse...maybe I should just get it on the ps4.

  2. Gah I can’t decide. MT10 on 2s, MT8, widemaxx, outcast on 5s or just bite the bullet and finally get the dream rc - namely an xmaxx. I’ve wanted a 1/5 mt for like forever - ever since I first saw a fg monster beetle 😵💫

     

    Any other single pack MT’s I should be looking at?

      I'm pretty much sold on the MT10 from all the reviews and videos I've watched. I did really fancy a Maxx but they are more than twice the price of the MT10 and from those videos I've watched, not worth the extra.

    3. Ross9999992

      Ross9999992

      Oh I’d 100% never buy an xmaxx new…£1100 that needs a £120~ esc out of the box and £100 odd of batteries per run that I don’t already have. That’s why the other options are the options tbh because I have 2s and 5s already. Things like the savage, hyper mt and even more boring than the v1 - revo 2.0 are instantly discounted because the need for dual packs. 
       

      I’m not 100% sure I trust the corallys yet but they do look nice. Reliability is a big part of my decision making 🙂 

       

      I just want something that won’t break from a bit of jumping and will roll over if I turn too hard. Max speed runs across a field have been done to death and bore me now 😄

      There was a losi lst on the for sales section, not a maxx but about as big as one and no were near the price but half as durable maybe.

  3. Good old YouTube click bait suggestions

      Thanks for sharing.  Had a quick flick through the UK offerings - bar 6000mah 3S softcase Nanotech's (still similar / more expensive than the graphene's we're the other month) nothing jumped out - have I missed something?

    3. Ross9999992

      Ross9999992

      I thought I was seeing usable 5000mah 2s and 3s for cheap

       

      Gavster has pointed out some nanotech 5000mah 5s for £40 which is also cheap

       

      Etc. etc.

      Yeah that's what I mean about that one I linked. 1080p will record nice ish video but lag would make it unusable for anything close in. Not in the same league as dji etc but get some nice looking short flight video. Depending on the cam and dvr of course. I'm happy with the 1080p video I get from my planes, don't need anymore for now but I get what you're saying.

    3. Ross9999992

      Ross9999992

      Oh missed that, yeah that's a funky looking thing. 

       

      Should get some reasonable footage I'd imagine but as mentioned at the cost of lag :D 

    4. Oh How Original

      Oh How Original

      Yeah I understand that side of it :) I more meant for like fast flying to follow boats and such, flight times wouldn't be a huge issue as I'd just buy 10-15 LiPos and have a days worth :P

  10. So RG1 asks "Why no response am I asking too much for it any advise before ebay." in his fs thread and I get a warning for providing a nice suitable reply?

      Ahh yeah suppose I should have thought to pm.

       

      I just saw a warning and naturally was like "for that, really?" but then I suppose 0 points?

    3. capri-boy

      capri-boy

      Yup - 0 points.  Doing it that way is the easiest for staff to all be aware in case it happens again etc.  I could have given you points for it but as a first offence education is the best way.  Drive on :rc_car:

      Hmm, so tempted with a quanum venture quad but with it being global only, quite possibly another 70 quid on top which makes it less attractive. :(

  12. Grr!

      Cheers dod, I got one sorted now :) 

       

      Tried a few of them like that 247 but they were all just coming back with the wrong box. Well other than the offer of a recon for £1200 :insane:

  13. Anyone had a model delivered from hobbyking global and been hit with customs? 

     

    Still waiting on my backordered (in stock when I ordered them) bad bugs to come back in stock in U.K. but god knows when that'll be. Tempted to just get them to send them from China but well ya know...customs.

      Ross9999992

      That's a fair point Capri, my main concern is getting hit for the normal value not the silly low price I actually paid. 

       

      I was just gonna wait it out but it's been aaaaages.

       

      Dont know what to do now :( 

       

    3. capri-boy

      capri-boy

      Unless HMRC think your pulling a fast one (ie declaring an item worth ££££ for ££) then they'll only charge you based on what you paid.  Even if they tried to you can legitimately provide proof of the item ordered and price paid in this case so the minuscule possibility of them pulling it up is a non starter.

      you can change the % if you do normal checkout and not the paypal (you can still pay with paypal in normal checkout)

  14. For real. It's not a big bucket and a small bucket with the same size hole in each. It's 1 big bucket with a big hole and a little hole.

      Ma bukkit haz spout.

       

      Many peoples don't get how it works but that IS how it works. 

       

      "That's not safe! (because I don't understand how it works) The little bucket will be empty first!" 

       

      xs2p packs can exist because the voltages of the parallel cells will always be the same. Parallel charging works because...parallel.

       

      Am I gonna run some 2000mah with my 5000mah? No (well maybe).

       

      Is it theoretically safe? Yes! But there are conditions that I cba to adhere too.

       

      Just annoying to keep seeing people dishing out incorrect information as fact. Giving it all "The lower mah will run out first and explode".

  15. Anyone got a spare VW 6 speed gearbox? My turn for car issues also :(

      I was told they had loads of Master 5 speed boxes but 6 speeds where like hens teeth . At one point i was thinking of bodging a 5 speed on it lol

      Ross9999992

      Well needs must and all that, not that much of a saving though I suppose?

      Ross9999992

      That's also a real bargain, unfortunately they don't have the ones I need.

       

      Will deffo check them out in future though :D 

  17. Anyone ran a Trackstar 4068 2560kv on 2s?

      You'll struggle with anything over a 36mm can as the motor sits in a plastic 'sleeve' like motor recess that's all integral with the rear bumper mount / rear skid plate etc.  Could be done I suppose, but would require a fair bit of modding / bodging... Difficult to explain, I'll post some pics...

      At the moment they seem to be going for £69.99 everywhere. Just look for one on eBay at that price with free shipping.

    2. Ross9999992

      Ross9999992

      Yeah that's what I've been seeing as well. Was just hoping someone might know somewhere selling them for less :D
