      My missus paid to visit the so called most haunted house in the UK.  i got her to take tons of pictures but nothing showed up.  Apart from orbs  lol  people claim they are ghosts  but it is just dust that the flash has caught .

       

      so called experts claim pictures show things  but i looked at them also got pictures of the place during the day and it shows things that cannot be seen at night but the flash/camera picks bits of it out.

  4. hi guys, which part do i copy to post pictures on postimage? is it the direct one?

      Strange one,. I did have an issue with multiple images a while ago and then they just worked. Don’t know if it’s a forum thing or post image.

    3. froggy8

      froggy8

      i have tried all the copy option on the postimage website and all it did was left the links on instead.

      use a browser that supports the ublock origin extension then use imgr with direct link option 🙂

  5. anyone recommend a handheld compressor? surely one of you guys will have some sort of blower to keep in car for when you want to do a quick blow on your rc cars.

  6. ok guys, some may know that my exhaust pipe sleeve have come off leaving a big hole. problem is one end of the pipe is 52mm od and the other pipe i need to connect it to is 54mm od. for the life in me i cant seem to find any with clamps, only ones i can find is these:

     

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-5-63mm-Mild-Steel-Aluminised-Exhaust-Adapter-Sleeve-Male-Female-Repair-Joint/283903414259?hash=item4219f64ff3:g:~goAAOSwG-1Zv4eh

     

    as you can see there are no clamps.

      Yeah if you don't have an Intel K series, you are very limited as to what you can do.

       

      The XMP profiles are there just to make your life easy when getting a stable memory timing configuration, something which traditionally intel have managed well.

       

      The profile with the lower clocks probably has tighter timings, which is why it performs better.

  8. hi guys,

     

    got the whole front exhaust pipe changed as the flexi part was hanging off last week.  anyway, after it got changed, i started the engine and it was quiet then yesterday it sounds like its blowing at the front again. could anyone tell me what could have happened to the new exhaust after a week? i only drove it 3 times since new exhaust put on.

     

    do new exhaust needs to bed in or something?

     

     

    many thanks guys

      thank you mate, at least we know it isnt the mechanics fault although he could have at least advise me of the rusted clamps or does all mechanics just re use them?

  14. anyone know if i can go to a car shop that is 22 miles away? due to lockdown i am not sure. reason to go is because my exhaust is very loud, bit embarrassing to drive at the moment.

      I'm with Nick, i'd consider this an essential journey.

       

      We certainly were allowed to drive 18 miles (one way) to our car dealership for the first oil change 2 months ago (but, south wales).

    3. froggy8

      froggy8

      thank you guys, i couldn't afford what the mechanic was asking for so i thought i would try the exhaust company.

    4. Bajadre

      Bajadre

      agree on essential 👍

  15. hi guys, i bought my 1/1 car with the modded exhaust. if i wanted to change it back to normal, is it just the muffler i need to change?

  17. @Gaz! now i want your Rc4wd tf2 lwb, typical! i wasnt looking at crawlers when you put this in sales and now after 3 months, its gone!

      Oh How Original

      I wasn't necessarily saying I agree with the whole IFS/trail/crawl thing, just stating the facts of how they are sold to be used.

      You missed a very good one there, don't get too hung up on specs when you are starting out, it becomes a very very expensive thing to do.

      If you see one you like from a mainstream brand just buy it, you won't get a bad one.

    3. Gaz!

      Gaz!

      For me, I would go for the Traxxas Trx4 sport personally, there’s a minter in the sales section (if I had the money spare I’d be seriously tempted)

       

      this comes from having approx 20 of the older scx10’s (which today is still a damned fine base to start with), scx10.2 which is ok but needs money and tinkering with).

       

      ive had/have,

       

      Approx 20 scx10’s,

      1 scx10.2,

      hpi venture,

      ftx outback v1,

      carisma sca1e coyote,

      carisma sca1e lynx,

      Rc4wd tf2 and tf2 lwb,

      maverick scout,

      tamiya dynahead 6x6,

      axial ax10 ridgecrests x3

      axial wraith x2,

      axial xr10,

      axial yeti in all 3 sizes and 2 or the 10th scale trucks,

      axial exo terra buggy,

      axial rr10 bomber,

      cross Rc demon sg4,

      and lastly 3 trx4 defenders.

      plus having a go with a vast amount too that belonged to friends.

       

      maybe more but lost track lol...

      now separating the 2.2” trucks from the 1.9” trail trucks leaves me with only one recommendation to offer,

       

      in my humble opinion, if you want a 1.9” trail rig, it has to be the Traxxas Trx4 

      yes it has a few bits that need attention granted but once sorted it’s a epic truck!

      the genuine guys I’ve spoken to recently all agree that at this time, it’s the best of the bunch.

      plus spares and hop-ups are out there and will be for some time!

       

      sorry for the ramble....

      wow gaz, you have had loads of crawlers! 

      will need to have a big think on this,  treat it like i first started :D

  19. i have the dell venue 11 pro laptop, it uses a 24w charger, in bios it says 24w when plugged in but all of a sudden it charges but at a very slow rate, it uses power more than it charges. in bios its showing as 3w now, anyone else uses this laptop?

    1. turok007

      turok007

      can you try it without the battery  to see if that is the issue.

    2. froggy8

      froggy8

      i havent tried that yet, all i have done is tried 6 different charging cables and and even the 2 cables that did work before( doenst now). all i can think of is the charger might be bit faulty.

    3. turok007

      turok007

      if the battery goes wrong it can sometimes overload the charger  so the charger will get hotter than normal.

      ok, tried it in my camera and it says memory card error and the format function was greyed out.

      i always put mine in my go pro and format that way froggy tbh pc have a few different file systems ie FAT32,EXFAT ,NTFS etc 

      i can format my 32gb card in pc but couldnt get a higher one to do it :( could be card on way out? how old is it buddy am using sandisk brand here 

    4. Sausage

      Sausage

      Plenty of fakes about. is this a known card that previously worked properly? Try disk management and see what it lets you do there. could be a linux file system and will need some brute force or diskpart commands in command prompt (use with care) or a 3rd party tool.

      the motherboard is an asus z87 if that helps.

    3. Paul Busby

      Paul Busby

      That makes it a Haswell if memory serves, so you've nothing to be concerned about. Pretty sure you don't need to even raise an eyebrow at the temps on that generation until they hit 70c under load.... even then I think you have thermal room.

    4. froggy8

      froggy8

      cool, cheers. i have changed the thermal paste on both ps3 slim and temps are very good now.

      The holes are usually within spitting distance in diameter you may have to open it out a small amount but it'll probably fit straight in, as for wires you may be lucky and find a set floating around behind the blanking plate area, manufacturers often leave the wiring in the loom, word of caution most car usb sockets have an led fitted if you wire it with a permanent live over a couple of weeks disuse it may drain the battery sufficiently not to start the car.

    3. froggy8

      any of you two got a link for your usb port please?
