      Same here. Nothing much seems to have changed.

       

      HPI lineup the same. Traxxas still selling Stampedes and Revos and smoking electrics.

      Same issues, same problems.

       

      For me, the only thing that has changed is the local council have ruined most of the places close by where I could use my cars. Either sold off the land for redevelopment or let it go to ruin. The favourite trick is to allocate it for schools as the scare was a place shortage in schools....which gets them government money...then not build them because the ones we do have are not full. Now what was once a park is now 2ft long grass, weeds and little clearings full of empty beer cans and used needles. There is also now a glut of 'affordable housing' one bedroom studio flats that nobody wants, and half finished buildings that will get pulled down in 10 years time. But that is more a reflection of society rather then the hobby.

      Shared housing is dragging the nation backwards a century atleast horrible places  mini hostels even. Only next door. Make frat houses look like good neighbors. Throwing 17yr olds in with 40yr known addicts its dumb. My little brother almost moved to one. But after viewing deceided to just stay at home. 

       

      But i bet a good % of auction sales have the builders in making a home into 4 soon after purchase. Plus the illegal shared houses. 

  2. Out of touch with all things RC to say the least.

      Did I say anything about hiring? I wanted advice and as per people trolled.

      **** it I say ;)yolo

      Under 18 is kids.

      I was merely stating a fact, not trolling... And I doubt you'll get the hire of speakers for free, you'll have to spend something, probably with a big ol' deposit... I'd just buy some Sony speakers like I actually did do... Work great, have lasted me years and still going strong now.

    4. Jacksprogis

      Jacksprogis

      Wasn't on about you oho

      Probably will do that, have they got aux? thing ;)

      I really aren't hiring anything... effort.

      I like to think Internet bullys or just nasty posters. Live a very fustrated life and know they cant vent out at the people they really want to so do it to strangers. It broke my heart when my little sister got hammerd on facebook she became really upset I told my dad to get her off facebook its the devil. Zuckerberg even said the users are morons when he was 19 for putting their lives on fb and trusting him.

      Fair point buddy, Cheers for the advice!

      I don't fancy the standard ricer car though, budget isn't really a issue and need something thats ideal for business trips and riding.

      Riding as in bicycling? do you not like the newer Astra or the newer Focus? if your looking for cheap insurance too I would consider a diesel, the engines have come on leaps and bounds in the last few years and some of them are stonking engines
