Alex97

...y r peeps like this I`ll never know....

From now on I'll just buy new as I know where I stand and I know what I'm getting. 

Definitely should not go down like that.  

so 1/10th?

Yea

cool....I like me 1/8th`s......I guess it depends what ur doing with em...

even the new MS site. I hate it when people change things unnecessarily, the old one worked well and the one before that was amazing. To be fair i haven't bought anything from them in the last 18 months!

I must be the only one that likes it. Very refreshing

Yeah I quite like it, looks a little bit older. Easier to navigate around tho

Doesn't the kaboom body fit on the short chassis.

Yes it does sorry i might have written it confusingly

If u want to go the kaboom route try to get your hands on the MT rtr (H) version.   But with bigger tires than the stock buggy ones you'll need to cut a fair chunk off the front side panels so it don't rub on the wheels  

 Later it will be cheaper to convert tolong chassis by having the MT.   But don't spend more than an extra 20-30 quid to get the MT

I was going to just get the kit for £117 and buy bigger tires for it? I can't find the Mt for a good price anywhere. 

One of the daughters boyfs has jus trust up ...sober. ..... i feel a garage run coming on. ..

Whoever buys it instantly has a golden ticket to post in the bitchiest thread on MSUK

its about the only thread with regular activity it seems 

Alex97 - the sad fact is they only make peanuts selling the part (how much money can be in £3-6 parts ) - then a small parcel via royal mail cost £2.85 + packaging + time for someone to pack it and finally there's the payment processing fee (paypal, CC provider).

Since owning my own business it really open my eyes to how much these eat in to your margin.

If the package is over 25mm thick then 1st Class postage alone is £3.35 even if it only weighs a few grams.

They get a reduced rate. A first class large stamp is 95p the bags are around 25p (price in local shop). So for them to charge £3+ isn't right in my option. A order from amain is $1.99 and will take around a week to arrive, they're cheaper on the part and postage, UK shops don't have a change sadly. US model shops all seem to be massive, might be that's it's more popular or the stuff is cheaper. Shame 

In the short term the pound is going to stay low which will force the prices of imported goods up. Probably going to be a few years until things settle down and the pound recovers. It's the uncertancy that mucks everything up.

Yup.... which is why I was disgusted by Cameron bailing when he didn't get his own way. That means no decisions get made until after an election for leader....andthe possibility of a forced general election even though Corbyn stands alone against his entire party and the Liberals are...er...who are they? I don;t even know who is in charge of them now.

Once the businessmen who actually run the country start sorting out trade deals, it will improve....but as john says, it's going to be at least 12-18 months before they are going to actually invoke the conditions of the Lisbon Treaty and formally leave the EU and they will only do that when they have sorted out the necessary deals.

Actually the £ has technically lost only around 8% against the dollar so it's all a **** excuse. In Jan it was £1 = $0.69. Now it's £1 = $0.77 which is a difference of like $0.08 ergo roughly 8%. Where did that 30% figure come from? Bar stewards.

It's all total garbage what you hear in the media, they think we're stupid and they exaggerate to make everything sound like doomsday. FTSE is about the best it's been all year.

Prices won't go down once up regardless. A bit like the promise with VAT. "Oh we'll put it up from 17.5% to 20% to help balance the books and then I promise it will go back after 1 year" That was bought in well over 2 years ago hmm has it changed yet? No!.

Oh and Theresa may's "deals" will be made to sound like we're out but nothing will be changed. Most pro Europe Tory in the cabinet. Why do you think they're so keen to swear her in.

Extra gear seemed more focused to an old top gear too actual facts and info. Rather than a life style shoe which Clarkson brought it to. Evans shouldn't have listened to Clarkson lol. I can see them chatting about how to be a success and little Evans listened. 

I can't think of one episode that didn't feel like an old episode. 

Personally I think it's crap and I even removed it from my planned because I wasn't interested in watching.

I don't like how he shouts all the time, like he's been there since the very first episode or something.

He also tried to be all 3 of the others in one and it just didn't work.

I don't know him personally, but the guy he portrays on TV and a complete and utter bell!

Matt and Sabine did seem to get on quite well, because unlike Chris, they are actually very good drivers.

I also quite liked the rallycross thing too, a bit of a different idea, which was good to see, but too much was copied and I was bored after episode 2.

Based on the terrestrial showing being on now (18.00), no one should have commented!  

I was never going to say a name.

I believe it's called cheating, Vettle and Schumacher style. Nico made an error and Lewis was simply cashing in, then gets rammed off the circuit. 

Cameron won't be stepping down anytime soon. He's gathered enough support even within the leave group to stay.

I wonder how many threads/topics will now mention this in any new replies posted

A lot of UK minsters won't be hopping on the gravy train this morning.  And i here the EU had to send back the gold plated pig troughs

With my first year insuranance I could have bought a top of the range printer. At least it's halved in price this year.

Looking around it seems like the market has changed since I bought mine. The good Makerbot clones seem to have disappeared. Mine is nothing like the one described by Tamiyacowboy as it uses metal for the hotplate support etc and is rock solid and stays in adjustment. Everybit as well made as a genuine Makerbot.

So it seems like the only way to get a good one now is to buy a brand name one or build one from scratch using good compnents.

Yep the markets flooded with total carp, the only one thats truely worth its money in some kind of way is a makerbot. but even second hand they still command a decent price on sale.

theres the Prusa builds , but these change so rapid its untrue and then its open source so you get these chinese firms moving in and just hobknobling together parts to make a prusia imax etc etc etc , not even a true Prusa model just a hybrid of ideas taken from open sourced folks making better on the prusa layout. 

Components are easy to come by the most needed is a good set of motor drivers and a board. otherwise Marlin-sailfish software can be used to control said boards. you could if you own a CNC cutter-Mill convert it to a print head unit by swapping out its cutting head for a extruder head and flashing the system with a sailfish software for control. but then you loose out money wise, the cnc miller can make more money than a 3d printer and takes less time to. 

I've used Slic3r which is not bad but Cura 3D might be better if it will work with your printer. 3Dslicer looks like it has potential but I've not actually used it myself.

They are the future, if I was any good with a computer ide jump on one too and a vynal cutter plotter. 

Ide really like a vynal cutter plotter just to make the kids wall art. They look very good for saying ther one colour. But I've seen some multi colour over lapping decals now which look even better.  

I just brought some monster baja 5sc decals the guy said he sells tons. 

Altho I don't think it's easy to sell them cos ebay deletes most ads on copyright infringement so it's hard to get them now. 

Once again kind sir you have made my day worry free, I'll shall go and enjoy this wonderful day. 

I had a 9 month old alturn go wrong, all they asked me to do was send it back. They then checked it, replicated my problem, and credited my account with the value.

Top work from them as always!

Let's hope they do the same with me. I've found the one I want to amain but I need to get them to mark it down as it's credit so I've already paid the tax 

Just cos I'm a leading Wookie in the Rebel Alliance 

Depends where Twisty is, round here cable internet ain't worth the plastic coating. 

To be fair, normal internet where I am is slow... But still better connection than a dongle, which I've had experience with in the past.

With a wired connection, it should be more reliable than a dongle almost all the time

I don`t really want to go into my personal details,but i will say i have been totally ripped off by Virgin media helping themselves to what little funds i had in my bank account via a direct debit set up.

So,i now pay a £30 for three months in advance with what used to be EE, but since they got bought out by BT the service has bombed out,it used to do what i needed no problem,but not now with all the stalling and dropouts.

I tried 3 a couple of months ago and the cost was terrible,plus they do actually cut you off when your credit runs out.

It`s a bit of a stuck between a rock and a hard place at the moment.

All i was trying to point out is,please don`t assume why people do stuff or don`t do stuff,often there can be things which you might not of thought of and no offence intended in any way.

Tbh I couldn't care less about the new series as I enjoyed the old one so much and Clarkson, May and Hammond worked so well together and I really don't like Chris Evans.

It's Top Gear, by name, only. I'm not going to bother watching it. PLENTY of good, quality, informative car shows on TV and internet, Top Gear was for the Clarkson/May/Hammond banter and subtly offensive content... with cars.

Matt Le Blanc did alot better than expected i quite like him. Chris was a bit of a nause, but if Im honest it couldve been perfect and everyone wouldve hated it regardless. 

Unfortunately its probably not your actual job, just the having one bit. Students are a catagory all to themselves, whilst employed people get lumped together. As I said, not always logical....

i had to renew mine today, such a ballache

I thought the older you are the better off you are. Students o expected would be the higher band standard.  

Too many people now crashing on purpose to claim on someone else's insurance or if ther lucky settle between them. 

My driving instructor never let's me go if someone flashes their lights or something to say go on. He says they could be baiting me into a crash. Seems mad but I'm learning lol. 

Good ol' Parcel Farce. 

neodymium magnets, they come in differnet OD and thickness , you just choose what ones you think would be ideal. 5mm OD 2-3mm thick , or 10mm OD and 3mm thick

Down from xt90s, I should add..

I'd hope I'd be strong enough to pull them apart. I've had zero problems with so far.

They do them in black

One day a new RC will be released that is actually good.....maybe.....

Glass half full and all that! 

Depends on the price if it's much cheaper than the yeti score it should sell to kids and impulsive buyers. 

Losi have failed their promise tho for sure. "If were not the first we'll be the best" I saw that on a losi rep video saying that is ther slogan.

I think you're more likely to find knowledgeable people on a forum than you are on a facebook group. If I have a question about something I'll always check out a forum first. Also while I remember I have a rusted, non working, ancient Thunder Tiger that I'd like to swap for an eggbox 360 and some half used deodorant sets.

I use to have one!

On the same basis Car people aren't Car people unless they've had an Alfa, RC people aren't RC people unless they've had a Firestorm?  Hyper 7?  Grasshopper?
