Type, scale, kit/RTR, budget?

ftx tracer

or the original version

the HBX 16889A-pro RAVAGE

the pro has the upgraded driveline!

36 quid a pop now for 2 channel speccy rx 😞  used to be 26.99

if i was buying a new transmitter now it wouldnt be a speccy and im using a dx5c 😞

yeh same here they pricing themselves out market 😞

yeh was already pricey then they chuck that extra cost on and to top it off the last one i tried when building my wild one buggy had range issues.

might go dumbo next time, had a spare 2 at old price but one has stupid range and had it sitting here for a while so cant exactly claim warranty lol 🙂

the new hyper tt 2 looks like a decent truck for the money 🙂

since u like small and light a brushless mini b, i love my mini b i converted to brushless 🙂

a corally brushless triton is also good and light 🙂

I use a sky rc quad charger works well but you can only see 1 battery at a time, you just have to scroll through to bring each battery up on the screen at a time

cheers mate, really wanting the dynamite dync2050. that was a really good charger but cant them anynore.

il have a look a the skyrc one 🙂 

This is the 1 i have https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/sky-rc-t400q-quad-charger-351493/

There you go, good that it's sorted. You're still stuck with arse radiators though. 😁

😄 yes that is true that im stuck with them. it is also true that many people hates these heaters but i am happy with them, i must probabbly the only one to say that 😄 

Yeah, pretty sure you're the only one. 😁

If it's a work place pension then I think your employer picks the provider however you should be able to pick the funds that they invest into. I'd suggest a work place due to the tax benefits and the fact your employer has to make a legal contribution. You can also merge multiple work places pensions if you change job as well. My favourite I've been with is Aviva mainly because they have a nice app 🤣

awesome! cheers mate, just trying t sort my pension out before its too late. 

i have always been slow on sorting things out, so far i only have 1500 in my oension and compare to other people i have asked at work, they all have at least 40k, when asked how they got hat much, they simply said they have been putting their spare cash into it manually.

probably need t o replace the lock barrel. But check first the latch isn't just sticking

found out that the door was slightly lowered so put the latch/keeper down abit to compensate. 

cheers mate 🙂 

Glad its fixed mate 

nvme, yes it is faster. If your mobo supports it right now id upgrade, if youd need a new mobo i wouldnt bother

check the motherboard manual as well, i lose 2 sata ports using a nvme drive on my board.

yeah my mobo supports it, i want to try out gen 4 nvme, just very curious on the performance.

Your joints are dry meaning that the solder didn't heat up and flow. A good iron and solder makes life much easier, solder normally had flux in it which helps with this however you can buy flux paste and apply it. I'd order some 12awg cable and some cheap bullet connectors and just practice. PCB soldering isn't easy and until you can get the solder flowing on larger parts you'll struggle with the small stuff. 

thank you guys 🙂 

i think i am going to make a thread as i need alot more help 😄 

here is my new thread guys:

You can buy an adapter that lets you swap your data over between consoles. When I went from my 360 elite to a 360 slim I used the below - https://uk.webuy.com/product-detail?id=s360datans&sku=s360datans

If it's between profiles on the same console then try -

hope that helps 

nice one @Alex97 🙂 

Switch and get some free money. They're all the same for standard banking. Have at look on money saving expert.com.  Simpler if you use the apps.

cheers guys, will have a look at them later.

I could recommend you to CO OP bank and we would both get £125 for it, just a thought

il just keep pondering around 🙂 

Of course you could maybe pick up a 2nd hand Dx8 g1 (the silver and black 1) as that will do both dsm2 and dsmx and a far superior tx to the dx6i

I still use DX6i's, amongst others, have two of them, the newer of the two is DSMX only, but the older one is DSM2 and DSMX.  Bloody good radios, never really wanted for anything more.

A one month contract? Do you mean like a rolling monthly thing? Where you can opt out when you want rather than being tied into 12month+ contract? 

I think thats what I've got with giffgaff at the moment.

It works for me but I already own my phone. I'm just paying a low monthly amount. .

It all depends on what you're actually wanting or needing

I already have a phone but no sim, another question, would a 1 month contract help with my credit score as opposed to a 12-24 month contract?

To be honest I'm not if the rolling contracts do help with your credit score or not. Thats definitely one to google.

If you're looking to build your credit rating then yeah, traditionally 12 month+  phone contracts were always a good way of doing it (as long as you can afford it) 

Its always worth googling different ways to build your credit score. There might be easier ways of building it than getting yourself into a long phone contract

Polifilla and when dried out paint ?

🤔🤔

£50 ??

I am sure you can get all you need for £25 if you shop around ....

And then he wakes up 

Wassup mate ?

hey guys i am good thanks 🙂  i just did a status update without thinking, i said something quite ridiculous and wanted to delete but no option to.

Ahhh so long as your ok mate 

The refresher course is about £200 for a reach forklift.

tbf when you applly for a forkie job show them your cert froggy as you will have to do there in house training usually for there insurance ive found, ive worked in different  places where there happy for you to have the cert and some make you take the refresh test again ie theroy and the practical which usually involves chicane pallet test and putting loaded pallet on different racking heights 👍 have my reach/counter balance and offroad certs

The company I used to work for before retiring, would put all new forklift driver employees through a in house refresher course, even if they'd taken a refresher course from somebody else the day before they where employed by us.  Though they wouldn't employ anybody to drive forklifts who didn't have a valid active license to drive them - as in you'd need to have done a refresher course before we would consider employing you to drive a forklift, and would also expect you to have counter balance as well as off road.  It was a property developer I used to work for, so forklifts weren't just used indoors in warehouses, but also out doors off road on work sites/construction sites.

And no, we never raced them around warehouses or work sites, as that would be against the almighty OHSR, and I wouldn't do anything to upset those lot.

Have a look here, towards the bottom of the page, there are a number of selections of free TVs with mobile phone contracts.  Be warned it's cheaper by far to buy the TV separately ads to get the ''free'' TV you will be on quite an expensive mobile contract for quite a few years  up to 48 months from what I've seen.

It's not a cheap way to get a ''free'' TV with a mobile phone, but Sky do their Sky Glass subscription service, you can combine it with a mobile and broadband package for a better price, a few mates of mine do that.  I don't recommend it unless you're a big watcher of Sky, as it works out a lot cheaper in the long run to just buy a TV and mobile handset outright up front, and get a sim only contract.

And just a heads up, a family member I'm helping out of a very bad financial situation was turned down by Sky due to their frankly appalling credit rating - its was in the single digits when we tried to get a Sky mobile contract for them.  And another mate of mine, who no doubt has a far far better credit rating than my relative's, was also recently turned down by Sky for their Sky Go subscription service due to having a bad credit rating - they tried to get on it after my relative and I tried unsuccessfully to get my relative a mobile contract with Sky.

I have looked at my defaults, one of them is from 2015, doesn't defaults leave after 6 years?

I thought it was at least 7 years, if not longer, but don't quote me, as I say.  I'm not a qualified financial advisor or accountant, so I'm not allowed to give out financial advise, everything I've stated is just my opinion.

everywhere i have looked it says defaults last 6 years but bankrupt last for 10 years.

i have just found another one from 2014.

When I rang, the person told me around 5 weeks or so. I was expecting this month as I rang on 25th March.

Cheers anyway mate 🙂

What is this ''tax'' thing you speak of?  Sounds like something really nasty, evil, dangerous, immoral that should be outlawed.

I had my tax code changed by error at the tax office in December. No sign of the cheque yet! Ive been on at them since then too! I think I was paying at least an extra £300 a month…

Looks good mate

I had the prawn balls with sweet sour sauce , spring rolls and chips yummity yum 

At least break your rice up! 

Its rice balls 

Cheers mate, so if  I get a second job at 25k annually then its 20 percent off the 25k? Apologies if this sound silly, just trying to understand.

https://www.thesalarycalculator.co.uk/twosalaries.php

It is 20% of the 25k

Cheers bud 🙂

lol wut ?

I know its not what you asked for, but I just got an old fish tank and filled it with sawdust. Threw some bedding material in and they just had a whale of a time dragging it all down and you can see their little tunnel systems and rooms. Although the missus (who was away for the week) was not too pleased as said tank was 6ft x 2ft x 2ft in size. Oh well...that's what happens if you leave me on my own.

I just use the cheapo ones off E-Bay. They are accurate enough for the sort of temps I need for reptiles. I have 2 as it's important to have a temperature gradient to allow the animals to find an area to suit them. My Milk snake, for example, prefers a cooler vivarium, and only sleeps over the heat mat on cold nights. The mat has a thermostat, but I want to measure the ambient temps just above the surface. I put one towards each end.

I don't know how temperature sensitive gerbils are, but as they are warm blooded...they do have some ability to regulate their own temperatures, whereas reptiles are totally reliant on their environment.

cheers guys, will have a look on ebay.

Cheers Alex, will look into that.

My friend does the Amazon Flex and works well for him

Cool, that's good to know mate. Cheers.
