In other fighter jet news. Is usa admitting the F35 isn't all that. Will uk bring back its own 60s jet lol.

New missile rack will allow 22 missiles instead of 8. Or just 4 on the F35 in stealth mode.
I say stealth is good for afew days but anything longer you'll want those 22 missiles more than stealth I bet.
Stealth jets would be best with those lasers talked about for tempest I bet. Huge battery in the bomb bay with pop out laser turrets.

Its awesome we will build our own planes again. Italy might be in on the tempest. But if we leave the eu and tensions rise who knows will uk want them disecting the jet. Weird that France isn't joining in.
6th gen jets look incredible from all nations though but the F22 must be the bench line. Will any beat or match that one.

Lego mario worth believing the hype?
My daughter loves mario probably more than I did as a kid and loves lego too. This sounds like a perfect Xmas gift.
Will it be the first Lego kit of its kind kinda interactive or something.
Sounds really cool but thought ide bring it up here i know there's a few lego fans who might know more on it. Is it worth getting.

It looks like a pretty straight copy of slash 4x4 lcg turned MT. Would the body off this fit the slash length or does stampede 4x4 sized bodies fit this? If it had the aftermarket support it could be the final nail in the old traxxas trucks. Ide like it more if they gave it some more AE styling would increase the price for a pro version might look very cool. More blue alloy maybe a dash of carbon. Would the slash Arms fit this? I have lots spare ill send one out for test fitting if asked supply a 2nd if it works.

If you think its not tuning or leak could it be the clutch or piston gasket. I wouldn't have a clue tbh. I was in then out of 5th.

Removable hexs thats a brilliant idea. Awesome job proline.
-
That looks awesome absolutely beautiful I love it. Thats the on road I want.
-
That's a brilliant idea I have a gens ace hardcase for my daughter and it just has the holes in so if I just put bullets on the esc I could skip the plug and would that be higher efficency or something.

Refunded on ebay but ebay item doesn't say refunded.
PayPal says refunded but says refund pending.
Also I had a notification on PayPal saying I'm about to reach my PayPal sending limit.
Any ideas? Do I need to do something.
I can't find anything that says I need to verify and our other PayPal account my Mrs I've used for years has never said this and thats used mostly. Idk how I could reach any limits on that account but not the other.

I just use hpi ca glue I tried another glue once and it was a big mess and turned green looked horrible. The hpi glue comes with really handy nozzle clean install everytime but its not cheap glue.

This is insane now. I tried to buy my kid a music keyboard 1st sale really seemed like the seller was dodgy he didn't want to but finally refunded saying the courier double did something but his feedback was pouring in with similar issues.
So to avoid that again I purchased a used keyboard from a good seller on eBay. They used the eBay packing whatever via hermes. The days ticked away no sign of it. Bday been and gone and now the seller has been sent this.
I can't fault the seller one bit she's been excellent after a week no show I asked why and since then the seller was trying to chase it daily i could see that in the eBay tracking now this has been sent.
What happens now?
I don't think the universe wants my child to play keyboard.

ARRMA Kraton EXB - Extreme Bash Roller Speed Truck
RCbutcher replied to Fly In My Soup's topic in RC News
Wait what. Nick the Sirius motors was you? Thats crazy cool if so. -
Sweet thanks for the recommendation I just checked wireless bike gps found one for £11 says its suitable for stuff with 4in-40in wheels so should be fine for my 1/8 and the kids quad bike.
-
I dont think it's that bad for a first attempt with hard body I'm happy with it and the parts that I'm annoyed with my kid doesnt even notice and soon enough it will have way worse lol. So im taking it as a win it's basically came out as I wanted city style d90. I'll slowly work on the chassis as I've found afew niggles. Like stripped threads I dropped two screws on the test run. Plus the rear upper link pulled through its mount but I think it will get a 4 link set up anyway. I have some nice carbon tube ide like to use.
-
I've pretty much finished now my daughter has received it and loves it. It still needs the lights doing and then whatever happens next. I used shoe goo to fit the badges so they wont be lost but ended up making alil mess I'm hoping to clean that up soon. Otherwise add a sticker lol. I saw a d90 dash kit with light up speedo and thought mayb I could do that by putting the dials sticker on clear lexan and cutting the dash. Its worked but I'll neaten it up. I've decided I can use my paint pen on the back so light only shines through where it should. Plus paint pen around the edges to hopefully stop the light spilling out around the edges. But I think it's a win. I wish I did it with the centre console now too. I made a brace for the shock tower I've seen others do but thought it would be a nice way to add more purple to the chassis plus stiffen it.

PowerHD seem to be the most used 20-25kg ones I think they're around £20-25 they have blue ones or red ones.

Brilliant idea.

I got my daughters d90 back on track to being ready by the 4th july. Just lots of little touch ups I may or may not bother with add details and lights. Wire it up then set up. I think shes gonna love it and it will be a true rival to her sisters heep of jeep. Unlike the cc01 she had which just struggled and got hella bullied by the jeep. It takes so much more to do these hard bodies right I think I'm at 24hrs but made lots of errors I had to fix or wasted time. Like masking up the window trims to just realise the lexan windows would be easier and needed to be done anyway but the next ABS I'll be much better I hope. Afew things on this didnt line up well like the front window frame. The front light lenses I had to trim them more. But I'm really happy with how it's looking.

I'm almost done painting still afew rough spots. I tried to tidy up the rear resulting in a stupid mistake picking up the white paint instead of clear coat lol. But I think I managed to recover it ok. But more happy to just leave the other imperfections of my painting now. Overall I'm very happy still. I was mock fitting the front screen though and it just will not fit. Has anyone had this happen. I'm tempted to just file it down 1mm ish where the scissors are pointing as I think that's the issue somehow. But more than happy to hear other solutions mayb I'm just trying to fit it wrong as I haven't looked in the instructions yet tbh. But the other side fits fine. Fitting the frame from the front glass from the rear well lexan glass. I really hate that grey strip under the screen frame but dont want to make things worse lol. The matt black looks weird in pics like its dirty or dusty. Thats weird.

Ide love to see a traxxas movie.
It could start with the origin of traxxas and go through time showing the ways they've changed the hobby obviously they'd ignore the bad lol.
Have dude perfect in the movie doing some sort of stunt comp to show what can be done.
Out of all brands traxxas would probably produce the best movie with biggest budget too. They love that advertising stuff.
Flying cars was a cool movie but I didn't get the whole racer girl thing let's make it a love story lol. But loved the obsession detail that bug really bites.
We watched a brilliant movie later last night called "Freaks" it's like a new spin on xmen ish. It's on Netflix one of the coolest movies I've seen this year.

I've realized a big error. The windows are not only lexan but they include window masks lol. So the black window trim I tried really hard to get could have been so simple lol. I've just touched up the rear door lower half but just gonna leave the rest as is not risk making it worse.

The main body is finished peeling the tape off is better than christmas I was right I missed some lines but it's better than I expected and as a whole looks awesome to me. Even mrs likes it now she was not keen on the purple at first. I told her it's a popular choice for anyone our daughter will love it. Plus I was told to make it shiny purple. I have some paint pens I might just touch it with those. I know the black pen looks like sharpie at certain angles but should be fine. I'll test the purple on the test peice and hope it mostly matches. I might quick mask and give one panel a quick squirt tho as the door hinge blocked the paint and I must have not been so patient by that point lol. But overall very happy FIMs youtube guide helped alot. I'm not so keen to rush out for the range rover body now though tbh but it's still a mayb. I just hated trying to mask the window trims and I dont think it paid off tbh. The back window did but the rest not so much. Around the windows and the bottom door hinge Around the arches a hair line of white. The extra wide plastic arches I got I think are for the trx4 as they are too big for this body. But some of those could sort out the arches.

Ide say it's the finned can motor they're not very strong motors its just a 380 sized motor in dress up to 540 size. What rc is it fitted too? Those motors are usually acceptable in tamiya type rcs. Lower kv motors have the torque or off the line speed plus top end with gearing. But high kv motors are mostly about top end in light rcs. If it's a 1/10 4x4 off road ide say it's the motor struggling.

Used slash 2wd? Or the kit version less metal the better unless happy to take down maintenance after every run. 2wd so you only have the rear end to really worry about. With sand tires I cant think of much else to beat it. But off road grass mud it will probably get stuck often. Sand buggy type stuff. The slash 2wd converts to buggy pretty easily traxxas backslash 2wd builds for reference not the greatest rc I've had but I think it would be highly suited to beach running or road speed running. Or beach speed running.

Brilliant water pics looks amazing with the glass like fountain around it. How do you get those pics multi shot?
