      lol Deafty :P

      Our accountant apparently went on holiday without notice, so has delayed our bonuses being paid. How that amounts to over a months delay, I don't know. Personally, I think they're trying to delay it as long as possible so they can get better cash flow.

      Words will certainly be said if I don't receive it today! Taking the pee now!

      Buy one tricky, we can have a dbxl bash at camberly! I'm very impressed with mine. Maybe I'm easily pleased... But.

  2. Time to move onto something larger, smelly & noisy.. DBXL or Baja or KM X2?

      Yeah, it was actually AJ getting one that sparked my interest tbh..

      Thing I want to know is which is best straight out the box? I'm not going to have much money left over to do mods/upgrades to it for a while.. :(

    3. Oh How Original

      KM Baja IMO is your better option if you're setting yourself a budget, it's almost half the price of the other two if you go for the 23cc version, or still a couple of hundred cheaper for the other versions... It comes down more to what you want from the RC.

      There is a thread on the Km x2 v the dbxl, the dbxl won by over 60%. As for a baja well, I'd love all 3 but can only have two for now.

  3. Is it really too much to ask to win the lottery so I can buy this little beauty and do some historic racing? http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C472950

      Do you have a pic? Theres some good ways to hide wires for simple set ups. Or do you have the working indicators ect.

      AJ I'll feel like I've cheated then haha!

      The issue is my light board has to be mounted in the middle in an odd way! I'll get a pic up when I get home! Any better ideas welcomed! :)

      Heatshrink or sable wrap all the little wires together &/or paint it with Plastidip, then it'll not show up so much ;-) My Rubicon is also spaghetti junction due to all the lighting, just the way it is:

  5. I fancy a new RC.. Anything cool been announced/released so far this year? Want something different!

      That Tamiya Avante looks seriously cool!! Definitely drool worthy! Would have to be a shelf queen though! ;)

      Not sure what I'm feeling.. Maybe it's time for a monster truck!

      Savage XL Octane then! GooooOn, you know it makes sense 8-)

      I'd love one and have actually toyed with the idea of one... Until I measured it and realised it wouldn't fit in my boot or on the passenger seat. lol!

  6. Just my new BittyDesign wing left to fit and the Hong Nor's makeover is complete & ready for its first outting round Slough! :)http://goo.gl/i4VCPf

  8. Damn it. My SCX10 alloy gear casing is imperial and they sent me bloomin' metric screws with it. Argh!!

  9. Am I being special, or is there no way of deleting an album from your gallery? It's not at all obvious if you can.. lol

    1. Carlton

      Carlton

      go to My Gallery.

      click edit on the album that has the images you want to delete.

      against each picture there is now a box to tick to delete the image.

      hope that helps

  10. Package clears customs and sods law.. No one home to sign for it. Argh!! :(

      Were it my parcel, I would don my purple, RC sponsored polo shirt, climb into my estate agents convertible, drive to the depot and demand to speak with a member of HMRC immediately! How very dare they comb through your box of goodies before you do?? Takes away the 'new smell feeling'. You don't see car salesman, cutting the cheese in your new motor before handing over the keys!!

      Another indication of a general decline in standards! I see extra vats being...

      It's landed at Stansted sort facility! No email or call yet, so looking good! xD

  13. Spent 40 minutes changing the foams in ONE beadlock wheel. Only to notice when finished, the tire has popped out slightly on one side. So frustrating!!!

      lol make a tyre to rim jig up, hole out some lumber, add a long bolt and wingnut with a spar brace, you set everything in pop on the brace cap wind down wingnut then afix beadlocker, undo wingnut remove a fitted rim

  14. Nice! Just placed an order with AsiaTee's and got a free polo shirt! Looks well nice for a freebie! :)

      Oh yes! Love a bit of purple mate! The clashing I did not consider. Nor the possibility of being mistaken for a women when wearing purple in a Z4. Hmmm. I did not think this through!

      lol I know what you mean, it's a bit of a polished turd..

      I got it for free though and it was a bit of a mess but I've restored it to almost like new now. I might just stick some pretty coloured washers & nuts on it and leave it at that! lol

      I think it's just looking on AsiaTee's at alu parts that makes me wanna spend some money on it.. lol

  16. Am I having a 'special' moment? I swear there was a HPI Firestorm owners thread!?

      This was the best thing about selling one at Modelsport, you would be surprised how common this is! Most people took it out the box and just took the model home, lol.
