Thanks guys, You might get there before me @Jack Reacher! Going to try and be there from 9:30 for 10am arrivals.

I've got a FTX Geo and a Sherpa to play with. 😄 Try before you buy. 😉 Just have to hope for good weather now...

I should probably start to look at getting a crawler... how about this? https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/element-rc-enduro-trail-truck-knightrunner-rtr-1339015

I have been so busy I've not even had the chance to look! 😞 Worst case I'll just borrow one, I do work at Modelsport and see them every day, so no excuses really! Haha.

Excellent! I think a few of the Modelsport crew will be joining me too. Looking forward to it, hopefully decent weather. 🙂

Loads of time yet. 😂

I've turned this off edit time limit for members off now (you'll be please to know @Redback😉 ) @.AJ. let me know if spammers return, I'll have to do a work around if so... hopefully they've backed off since changing it.

Hello! 😄 Welcome.

It was broken, thanks for bringing it to my attention... no one could or ever has been able to post in there! Should work now.

Welcome to invite who you like. 🙂 Just let them know we have a forum too. Leaning towards a TRX-4. I'm a sucker for Traxxas, they are good and parts and hopups easy to get.

I ponder this sometimes, if as a community we could design and build our own RC car... what scale would we choose? What model type? What would our communal goal be that we'd want from an RC car? All hypothetically speaking but I thought I'd just shoot this out there. 😉 I feel with us mostly being bashers, then strength, simplicity and value would be the core principles. Scale and model type is a hard one, 1/8th or 1/10th comes to my mind but it's hard to pin down where to try and get your foot in the door with the model type, with most being done to death already. Lets discuss. 🙂

I've seen similar in UK where they are used for steep grass banks. They have tracks instead of wheels though.

Ah okay. Sounds great. 🙂 No I don't have a crawler but plan to by this event!!!

Good bit of kit there Suits. Buggy turns like its on rails. I have the MX6 too, can't go wrong with Sanwa, even for their cheaper gear.

Factory seals are actually there for the supplier/retailer to show it is complete on arrival. I get why a customer might be annoyed if these are broken but it isn't uncommon for retailers to tear them open to add a few extra bits in off your order instead of putting it in a bigger box with a load of packing peanuts. But yeah there's no excuse for the product to be damaged/scratched.

I don't mean to sound savage here... but why do HPI continue to regurgitate the same stuff which ultimately led to their bankruptcy? They need to take a giant leap and actually launch something new and exciting... ...and by that I don't mean a small petrol engine Savage. In 5 years time nobody new to the hobby will know who HPI are.

I'm watching "Outer Range" on Amazon Prime, 2 new episodes every Friday and I'm hooked. Great show. Better Call Saul's new season is also out on Netflix and I've just started The Queen's Gambit.

Sorry for late reply, not much unless its for the food festival. 😄 I don't go far out of York area to be honest, or if I do I head west.

Welcome to the forum. 🙂 Great hobby for getting people away from screens... as long as it's not away from browsing this forum. 😉

Welcome back! 😄 If you need help finding your old login let me know - drop me a PM! 🙂

Hey Gerard welcome to the forum! 😄 Shiney parts are compulsory on RCs.

Great responses so far. Sounds good! How many gate markers do you have? I'm wondering if we just put them up as we see good places, I'll be there earlier though just to get nested if you want to come for just after 9 perhaps. (also explain how gate markers work for us none-crawler folks do we just have to drive through them?)

I did want to put some charity spin on this but being the first one, lets meet up, put some names to faces, have a good time and we can maybe do one again with some charity in mind.
