mot been clean last 3 years and its done 90k. cam belt been done 4k miles ago.

Enjoy 🙂

Still love my Focus - lovely to drive and parts are cheap

its been great past few days driving it, been checking coolant and oil and both still full, well coolant is on minimum, i just havent topped it up yet.

Spin the esc 180, run the battery wires under the motor and remove the esc fan - it’ll just get smashed anyway 🙂 

i will try sort it tomorrow, been sorting the mini 8ight past an hour.

i was wondering why when i roll the cars, it sounds loud but still moved ok. when i looked on line, it says the losi spur gear is 0.5 mod but the lc racing spur is 48p. i also read its nearly the same pitch but not ideal, i will need to change the spur to lc racing ones as i am now using lc racing pinnys.

could anyone confirm this please?

just took my laptop battery apart to try fix my drill battery but they dont say what size on them 

my budget is only around a grand, bit skint at the moment. so been looking at one around 12 years old.

 14500?!?

Yeah, but noisy 14500.

He already mentioned it's the front drivers spring that broke.

ah k i use a anker bolder lc90 for outdoors.

Not done the deed yet, but I've got both tabs open ready, @froggy8.

I know someone who married the female equivalent of Sad Sack....

The Flumps. Class TV that was, no diseased animals or portents of death on that show!

And who, pray tell, is this husband of the Sad Sackette?

The son of a friend. Quite a shame really as he is a nice lad with some looks.

Love is blind, innit!

cant believe how many there are, only thought there was hetty and henry lol

thats a whole new discussion that one  

im getting the 1200w henry so im guessing that is the old model

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.

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  

i think i will have to put a thread up in the petrol section soon and see what other people have to say

think i will do a poll if i can do it this time lol

i actually did it! needed help last time lol

http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/forum/78-general-petrol/

them hands are like ours  

You need to try and keep on top of the joint damage as you still quite young and will pay the price later in life 

i think the only way to get a blood test is if my pain is unbearable. 

Again, +1 @m4inbrain. 

Do you really need a huge boot?

If not, consider a Mercs C class petrol (2004 - 2007) where they were galvanised after 2003 IIRC and less prone to rust...They just go on forever as long as the basics are seen to. Sometimes E classes will come up at similar prices to C classes. My neighbour has a E class wagon (diesel) I know he's selling for around £1800,  having taken it out on a drive on some twisty turny roads, I was surprised at how well it handled and it's smooth power delivery and ability to slide (remapped diesel torque monster, huehuehue)

I clearly still get animated over 1:1 cars 😉 

Dude the world is your oyster, just saw:

got 1500 budget

wanting over 100 hp, mine was only 70 and wasnt that powerful

bit bigger than the skoda fabia

You can find some really nice and interesting cars at that price point and spec lol. 

Just one example, not personally recommending this car, but to give you an idea: 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325120051810?hash=item4bb2aa4a62:g:HQsAAOSwngViP~vq

V70s and S40s are cheap as chips, definitely within the budget you stated, even good ones. 3 series, at least good ones, might be a bit harder in that kind of budget, but doable. 

Good luck either way, the one upside is that you'll get your car quickly - we're 5 months into the wait, and are potentially looking at another 12. 😭

Toyota Avensis or a Focus (Mk 2)would be my budget but reliable car choicd

cool, wife was looking at a focuus earlier. will check it out, thanks 🙂 

seen a civic type s for 600, to me that sounds like a no brainer but i could be wrong.

what do you guys think?

As I work in boiler rooms/ lofts, this is a fantastic addition!

Win the lottery, call up Bosch and say send me one of everything. 

I had been looking at that light and was wonderingnhow good it is.

5 out of 5 from me.!

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.

i have put a 1717 motor in it which is 1580kv if i remember correctly. geared at 21/68.

Would vacuum cleaner wheels work?

as long as its 184mm high then im happy  

too long and maybe too wide for yeti and too wide for the savage and vorza me guessing  

alza do a bracket for the 2028

I thk.....

he is wanting cash on collection so he wont be paying any fees, i dont have the funds yet but he knows i want it though.

you want a vorza? lol

Unfortunately no. Got an RB one Pro sitting here unused so a vorza will be wasted on me!

Your getting muddled up somewhere

Download ITV hub app version 5.3.0 and try that

.........

4.2 is what android operating software you're on

Make sense??

ahhh yes, that makes sense, will do that tonight. many thanks mate  

No worries

I may have a spare ds1015 case mate.  U do know u can buy new ones though?

Tbh, I shelved it and didnt think to check for spares, impatience and ? alternative........ 13 quid on eBay, if you have a spare you're not using for less then I'd be interested.

np,  I need a day or 2 to look though..

the first  2 is HN and the last 4 is losi, thank you very much guys! 

good idea to change the eBay listing .....

cheers mate, i have took it off now

Aww I though you were gonna try that random 19t out?

it might be too low so will try the 23t when that comes.

Fair enough and yeah tis quite low 🙂

i would have the stiffer spring would be the one wont it?

as you said the the spring is too soft.

Yeah 

Some answer rc clutch kits came with three sets of springs copper 0.9mm, silver 1.0mm, black 1.1mm

yeah it took me awhile to find the information

.09=soft,1.0=medium,1.1=stiff 

you are right with the link, i thought you gave me the softest spring, my bad

Just cut your own gaskets

cheers guys. what would you use to make one deafty?

so you paid it in 4 goes in a month?

i have got an outstanding bill that i owe, is it better to pay all or instalments?

Pay all if you can afford it. Or installments if they allow without any adverse credit affect. I would check with bill provider first 

V hard to come by that shell now bertberr - i've one but it's had the bottom line cut - a little shallow too for a BL conversion.

I had the same thoughts as you Froggy about the conversions but I then thought nitros are more beefier than electrics so if I converted a nitro to electric I have the best of both worlds , strong chassis and some components and a brushless power system to go with it. Mine is as solid as a rock and has to be one of the best buggies I own to date. If you do it properly you will be grinning from ear to ear. (Just ordered a centre spider diff for one of my Hypers too)

Yeah, not loads of depth to the side pods, but they just look soooo good....
