    Just seen this pop up any thoughts !
    Due to the current serious shortage of electricity in China, most manufacturing factories have to open for three days and stop for four days, or even open one day and stop for six days. Therefore, in the next three to four months or so, goods generally from China may be in short supply or prices will rise. Our current inventory can only maintain 1-3 months for old price. If you need our products, please place an order as soon as possible.

      First I thought it was media BS but this was posted by a China manufacturing company.

      Yes, I'm sure it's true as there is huge electricity shortage in China...just commenting turok007's reply. Just look at the panic they are causing in this country!

      The global shortage of materials is going to last another 18 months plus.

      Was a brand new Hobbywing max5 in my Kraton exb 1/5th geared 24/39 so nothing overly geared just bad luck 

    3. Tug

      Tug

      8S through an 1100kv motor is drawing large quantities of juice, the Max5 is only 200 Amp rated. They claim large burst current capabilities, but I'd take that with a pinch of salt. I'd recommend 800kv or less for a large 4wd.

       

      But that's just me.

    Guys sell the Hobbywing 1100 5698 and get a combo or just replace the max 5 ? 

    1. Tug

      Tug

      98mm and 1100kv, not enough for largescale 4wd, not in my book. Keep in mind I've not owned the car you're taking about. I just feel that style of truck needs lower kv and more length.

    Wow selling on eBay has become a bit of joke 10.6 % fees when did that happen ? Don’t think I’ll bother anymore from now on

    2. Jumper

      Jumper

      its always been 10% for the past few years when there wasnt a £1 final value fees.  then another 3% for paypal fees. 

    3. .AJ.

      .AJ.

      Every 2 weeks or so they have offers like £1 selling fees, this weeks is a max of £3 

    4. Bert_w164

      Bert_w164

      As Jumper said, I've always understood it to be 13% unless they have one of those listing deals going. 

       

      10.6% with PayPal out the picture combined seems better than 13% or am I genuinely missing something?

      @Jack Reacher not this again lol 😂 RCs are selling for mega money at the moment. Its a sellers market. Look how quick the popular stuff is going for, like MainBrains Maxx for example, sold in hours for not much below retail. 

       

      Your models unfortunately arent really highly desirable on the second hand market, so would need to be priced accordingly, which you cant afford to lose so thats fine!

       

      Im sure Doddy’s Jambo will sell easily. As should my Kraton when I pop it up for sale

    4. Lone-wolf

      Lone-wolf

      @Guns okay i just typed a long reply that would only inflame things and that is not fair on Doddy, just for the record my comment has nothing to do with my own sales, my items will sell when the right buyer comes along, leave it at that

  12. mydoddy69

    Sell my Jambo or not ? Now works picked back up I don’t use it anymore 🤷🏻‍♂️

      @Stormbringer love it fella use it most weekends when I’m off work certainly put it through it’s paces. Funny enough I just got back in from a nice days RC’s fun and I’m happy to report I’ve only broken a rear front tyre and a rear arm. The arm was totally my poor driving,  the tyre got replaced under warranty so that was okay.

      Its all way to much for me, defo not knocking anyone for buying this car or the upgrades, as we are all on different paygrades

    3. mydoddy69

      mydoddy69

      Yep certainly not a cheap upgrade if it was just not one rc but having both makes it only half the investment for me so if you say £90 a car it sounds better on the wallets😂😂

    4. Kpowell911

      Kpowell911

      I dont smoke, rarely drink and dont have kids so I have RCs ha

      Bit the bullet and ordered some spares as no one else had them. Didn't bother with the R1 as its not that good of a deal once VAT is added. 

    4. jimbulsara

      jimbulsara

      @Hugoagogo my package just arrived today with no charges. The item was around 240 $.  Although for some items you will see an added VAT charge when you purchase in the rcmart website, for this one i didnt get that. Still it came with no charges 🙂

      RW, he'll make whatever you ask for, but that does make it expensive. I've got an email addy somewhere. 

    3. mydoddy69

      mydoddy69

      @GMballistic shipping is $16.25 for one pinion ! 
       

      Thats like £26 for a pinion. Had a chat with Neil at RW racing he has some coming in a couple of weeks so I’ll wait it out as his are £8 lol 

    4. GMballistic

      GMballistic

      That's good news then. 

      Last time I heard from RW to have a custom pinion gear made was around £27 so ordering from the USA makes more sense especially if you get a few.

       

      If he's getting some in at reasonable prices then that is good news. 👍
