    ok guys i thought i would continue in a new thread 🙂 pictures from what i did last night, i think it took me over an hour to solder 2 wires to the motherboard 😄 @JonnyUK this is the closest i could find that is similar to what ive got: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335112664458?hash=item4e0645758a:g:V24AAOSwmbtlXaWb&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4Je%2FOoANPG42RGCe8WMmHaIAmSyJpwfQ2Mi3%2Fd3QbQ0yr1bMlVABlR1OtFaq%2BnM08KvnUXn0z%2F172VNpmYjQQsMp8kcD4qHU%2FklU2cWBUSIOYCHW9a99CHlCBBymjIXxMVSKU2tA%2BHuGuORjuyZAD%2FpUAuv3MGom6mQ%2F%2F4HXDPmJGlGF71tntmo4EmdUquvd3lEnSm21DWn8slo%2Ffpv4s2ZVvCnXAEP40XXdyNP%2F%2BXnfY4ZzgRvaGVNhDO4ES%2FJao%2FpfEEEcEXayFe7hbf3ze67mmVqVen3FMwXfQLQmapso|tkp%3ABk9SR9SxlOCCYw ok guys, i really could do with a decent soldering iron or station, i am leaning more towards a station as obviously that can do more and it could help me more too so could anyone recommend me one please? many thanks again guys 🙂

      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.

    anyone know if its possible to trasnfer save games from old profile to new profile? its for xbox 360.

    1. Alex97

      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

      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.

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

    just had a quick look on this car and i saw cnc rear hubs but no cnc steering knuckles? what other differences on the pro?
  8. froggy8
    i really like skyrc ones, the d400 gets my vote or if you can find one, the dynamite sport quad charger. that was the last one i used and i really liked that one too.
  9. froggy8
    that is very bad! looks like the postie used it as football 😞
  10. froggy8
    yep, just fill it up to the gears.
  11. froggy8
    im thinking this motor: and this esc:
  12. froggy8
    i will post some pictures up when it arrives, i have just won the ftx tracer 🙂 will it be a straight swap to brushless or do i need to do some things first?
  13. froggy8
    i am thinking about getting one of these. anyone got a link to a decent priced ones? i know they are cheap enough but was hoping to see if anyone knows of a bundle type ones.
  14. froggy8
    you got a link for yours mate? had a quick look on ebay and the dji is cheaper than the fimi, very strange.
  15. froggy8
    i cant help but upgrade any cars 😄 was trying to make use of my spare motors if they will fit.
  16. froggy8
    yeah i did mean the blade qx3. yeah i looked at them dji and i dont really want to spend that much if i am being honest. i will look into the fimi one though. cheers bud 🙂
  17. froggy8
    has anyone done any upgrades on these yet? also can you used lc racing and mini 8ight motors on these?
  18. froggy8
    hey guys hope everyone is ok 🙂 im back on the lookout for a quad, is the blade 350 still the one to get or is there something else more better? been looking at the cheerson cx20 but it is bit outdated now. cheers for any advice 🙂
  19. froggy8
    also once you have driven the car up to temp then you can start tuning it, only tune it when the engine is up to temp though. if the engine is new then you will need to run it rich, keep it on rich till you have done about 3 tanks full.
  20. froggy8
    this is what i would do: sort the needles out first. prime the engine ( i tend to pull the pipe out the of the exhaust and blow hte fuel into the carb) heat the engine up with an engine heater pullstart the engine
  21. froggy8
    found my helicopter now, when can you send this to me mate? 😄
  22. froggy8

    finding myself looking at helicopters and lc racing cars, looks like i might be getting some rcs in the near future 🙂

      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.
