  1. no sorry, i dont know any from there.
  2. hey George, best thing to do is get the manual for it as that will tell you all the part numbers then you can just type in the part number and it should come straight up. if you really like the car then yeah, you should try fix it up. all the parts you mentioned doesn't seem like it would cost the earth.
  3. A straight swap would be ideal
  4. i would have thought it would be mod 1?
  5. i would definitely vote for the hyper tt as that was one of my best car, the only thing i did was bend the chassis but they are cheap enough and someone once told me to just double up the chassis and it will be quite tough.
  6. Hey guys just got myself a contract sim but I ordered a 1 month contract instead if 12 or 24 month one. Any differences in them or should I just cancel it and get a 12 or 24 month one?

      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

      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 :good:

  12. i really liked helis and got myself a little collection of them but i still couldnt fly them. eventually had to get rid of them than just gathering dust.
  13. stormy is correct, i started off flying helis and couldnt fly them at all then i thought i would try quad out and they are ALOT more easier to fly than helis.
  14. 😄 got a feeling you will. hope your mate enjoys it 🙂
  15. you wont regret it, it has some functions you only find on a much more expensive quad.
  16. i dont like it when things break but i do like replacing them with higher quality parts.
  17. thought i would update this thread. just got myself a new job after 3 years, i am a slaughterman.
  18. i even looked at this video, this guy gave alot of tip on this quad:
  19. i had one mate, it is really good and very easy to fly. this one? it is 250g but because it has a camera you will need a license to fly them.
  20. for my merv, i used the hobbywing ezrun or you could get this one: used this one on my mini 8ight.
  21. hey guys, need some help regarding truck license, i have a certificate that i just found and forgot about it. stupid question but does that license last for a lifetime? i know i need to do a refresh course every 3 years but since i already have the certificate then does that mean i only need to do a refresh course then i can try find a job driving trucks?

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

      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.

  22. the thing that caught my eyes was the chocolate bar, racer? never heard of it.
  23. anyone know anywhere i can get a free tv with phone contract?

    1. Grogg

      Grogg

      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.

  24. i would really like to see a video of you flying this, it would be so awesome!! i have a feeling other people would like to see it too.
