      Too late sadly for most of the staff, hopefully they take some back on.  I had a heads up a day before official announcement but couldn't really say.  Fingers crossed it works out this time.

      I’d say hopefully not HPI needs a revamp keeping on the old tired staff isn’t the way to go obviously some key staff should stay but the company needs fresh blood with a new insight and inspiration to bring them back into contention.

      I think it's the other way round - the 'working' guys have always done a fine job from my point of view - the people in the position to make strategic decisions perhaps need an injection of fresh blood or perhaps funds to realise existing ideas.  Take the venture -  odd body choice aside it was the right product - just a little slow to market.  Why was that you might ask?  I'd guess it wasn't rushed to market in response to the trx4 so maybe no £££ to get the project moving quicker?  

      I have minimal extra insight that the rest of us, and like the rest of us are pleased that HPI will continue to fight on.

  2. Euro cart parts eBay store has 20% off  minimum spend £25 good thing is they sale FTX kits and some Tamiya kits as well as paint with free shipping !! Probably do other rc stuff as well not checked yet http://www.ebaystores.co.uk/Euro-Car-Parts-Store?LH_TitleDesc=1&_nkw=Tamiya&

      What a find! you need the code PURE20 though 

  3. Just a heads up if you gonna make an ad and state never been run at least clean the dirt off from running it, and having it covered in scratches and running marks is also a dead giveaway it’s been used lol. 

  4. Man why is Facebook full of such clueless rc fools, it’s like hardly any of them have a brain cell !! and don’t get me started on the tools that think there some sort of wannabe gangster !! Utter morons

      I almost got into it but realised it's the same bs every day. Driven by sales ads asking how much? Give you.....x..... I never learned one thing from them groups so binned them. Now and then it shows something cool though. 

  5. Babysitting the grandkids is a joy but thank god they have an afternoon nap, I’m knackered 🤣🤣

      My neice, at 9, is a doddle to look after, she always has been, easily amused and will amuse herself. My nephew, at 6, stuntman. Take your eye off him for a second and hes in the apple tree.

  6. Advice please I have a Tamiya drift spec TT02 opened but not built the packs are still sealed what price should I ask ? Is it worth selling or should I just stick it in the cupboard ?  

    1. .AJ.

      .AJ.

      They are £109 on MS so should sell fine for £90, I wouldn’t bother saving it, it’s not exactly a rare or uncommon kit

      All depends on the body shell.

      When the inevitable FTX price drop hits I predict it'll sell like hot cakes.  All i'm hearing so far is complaints about the shell looking toy grade - personally it's a big improvement over the original Fury.  I expect it'll attract more competent buyers who are looking for a start into the hobby - rather than mum's n dad's buying as a gift for little johnny - there's the Kanyon for that.

      We have  2 of them got the a959b first . Then ended up with a a959a as well . the a is not as fast but there's not a lot in it over all . Well worth the money .

      I was going to start a thread on them but never got round to it..

      Payed £51 for mine inc shipping, best £51 I've spent EVER..!!??

      RCbutcher

      I like it the truck sounds solid going off guys fitting brushless and bashing them ide defo have one but on sale or used. The whole buzz around the model should grow and grow which should keep it fresh. But is it fast enough and too fast too much still bends everything. But drive line seem's solid.

      I only have 140 subs but only need 6 or 7 of them. Ide rather just a small circle sharing like a forum. I never thought of money cos its 100.000 subs or nothing. 

       

      But i do wonder now kevin talbot has like 30.000 subs but im sure he said hes pulling about  £100 a day from YouTube. That would be cool. But its selling the soul acting all YouTubey "HIIII GUYSS" I dont have the energy or enthusiasm lol. 

    4. RCbutcher

      RCbutcher

      I wonder if he will be affected his channel exploded its everywhere i looked. But the money stuff seems dodgy so i unsubbed.
