Recreate the admired American muscle car with an ultra-scale body!
Experience powerful driving with the 1966 Chevrolet C10 Fleetside Pickup.
For the pure enjoyment of R/C car driving, the combination of a beautifully reproduced car body with the FAZER series chassis can’t be beaten. Kyosho has taken its standard touring car chassis and given it a full model makeover that has evolved performance to a new level. A simplified design with fewer parts has improved maintenance efficiency and reduced weight while core strength and rigidity has been increased through new materials and ribbing and stiffeners on front and rear. In addition, the symmetrical chassis design synergizes excellent front-rear balance through the suspension with responsive control, irrespective of power source. Featuring slipper clutch, front & rear gear differentials, oil shocks and full ball bearing specs, the high durability and impact resistance allows drivers to unleash the full potential of the chassis. Brake disc wheel hubs with two different offsets (0mm, +5mm) provide compatibility with 190mm and 200mm width body styles and allows the wheelbase to be adjusted to 260mm by replacing some parts (sold separately) for compatibility with other 1/10 scale body styles, in addition the body included. The Readyset package comes fully assembled and includes everything except charger and battery for the chassis, and batteries for the transmitter.
- “Ultra Scale Body” replicates the fine details of the actual body of the car. Kyosho took a step further in scale realism.
- New design shaft drive full-time 4WD touring chassis（FZ02）.
- Factory-assembled Readyset package only requires 4 x AA alkaline batteries for the transmitter, and battery with charger for the chassis.
- Equipped with 2-bevel grease-filled gear diffs on front and rear.
- Large size dog bones and cup joints realize superior reliability and durability.
- Belt mounting battery compartment allows various battery types to be used.
- Full ball bearings that reduce drive loss equipped throughout the drive system.
- Features KS202W waterproof steering servo.
- Includes completely finished body with color scheme and decals applied.
- Sealed differential and transmission deliver reliable performance, even on dusty parking lot surfaces.
- Performance can be further enhanced by installing various optional parts.

I'm sure you know the morning TV programs that do those win a holiday if you txt a simple A, B or C question (or send a postcard). Competition websites that use this format are no different and is all above board. HobbyComps for example who have sponsored various things (TomleyRC, ROSSA, and even the forum) has been going for a couple of years now and has done really well.
It's a business at the end of the day so profit is usually expected.
I'd probs not trust the ones ran out of Facebook groups though.

Not massive changes, I never liked the centre drive shaft design for the Slash 4x4, making it longer seems a bad idea with that design.
Wonder what other shells will work?

Among the few incredible legendary cars. The Chevrolet K5 Blazer is a representative of the famous C/K series, it was with the full-size C/K pickup chassis, strong power, and comprehensive configuration, and it once overwhelmed other competitors in the SUV market in the olden times, and sold well all over the United States. For paying tribute to this once popular American hard-core off-road vehicle, FMS has obtained the support and authorization of Chevrolet Motor Company, and grandly launched this simulation RC car - FCX24 CHEVROLET K5 BLAZER.

In all of motorsport, there's perhaps no better wild mix of drifting European sports cars - artful Japanese motorsport and highly-strung European classics just don't mix! ...or do they?! We've mixed and mashed the classic autosport design of the original E30 M3 with high-revving, sideways-going drift action!
This Sport 3 Drift features the ultra-cool BMW M3 complete with extra-wide wheel arches, front air dam and a big street-style rear wing! The car is also fitted with replica Work Emotion XC8 wheels wrapped with officially licensed Toyo Proxxes tires for awesome scale realism, so it's ready to hit the drift scene right out of the box!
Under the hood, this 1/10th scale officially licensed replica is equipped with the latest HPI Racing Touring Car chassis, the Sport 3 Drift!

Rookie Off-Road RO1.0 is available for beginners at a reasonable price as a racing buggy that runs through corners while raising dust clouds and clears jumps brilliantly!
A 2WD racing buggy with an easy-to-assemble parts configuration based on a flexible, crash-resistant integrated resin main chassis. It is also recommended for those who challenge off-road cars for the first time, and its high running performance that can handle active driving such as jumping is attractive. Since the basic structure is the same as the racing machine, it is possible to adapt to various driving conditions by changing the settings even when driving on a circuit dedicated to off-road cars.
The suspension and drive system parts are the same design as the top model, so by replacing them with lightweight carbon parts and high-precision aluminum parts, it is a structure that can be finished as a high-end machine. Although it is a beginner-friendly model that emphasizes stability, it is also attractive for its expandability that can meet expert-level driving.

A PERFORMANCE RIG BUILT TO ENDURE. When hitting the trail, you want to do it with confidence -- and the answer is the Enduro Sendero HD Titanium Trail Truck!
At the heart of the Enduro is our revolutionary StealthR X gearbox. Although the exterior appears to have a conventional 3-gear transmission look, the inside is far from conventional. The StealthR X features the ability to adjust the rear drive ratio independently of the front drive across three levels: stock overdrives the front end 5.7% (installed in RTR), option 1 provides a one-to-one drive ratio front-to-rear (available separately), and option 2 overdrives the front end 11.83% (included with RTR).
Feeding the power to the tires are 3-piece telescopic driveshafts with an extruded aluminum center section, universal front drive axles, and hardened steel ring and pinion gears. With the Enduro drivetrain, delivering useful power will not be an issue.
We relocated the steering link assembly from the conventional location to behind the axle (BTA). This feature greatly improves approach angle and front-end clearance, making rough terrain much easier to handle.
The Enduro Trail Truck with Sendero body comes ready for adventure right out of the box, with performance-driven Reedy Power electronics. The ultra-smooth and powerful 16-turn, 5-slot brushed crawler motor and Reedy Power SC480X electronic speed controller with T-plug connector supply ample power to this tough rig. Controlling the beast on the trail is our 3-channel XP130 2.4GHz radio and Reedy Power high-torque 1320MG metal-gear servo.
With all this packed in one box, we know the Enduro Trail Truck is ready for the trail -- are you?
The #40120 Combo includes a Reedy Compact Balance Charger and Reedy 7.4V LiPo Battery with T-plug.
Sendero HD Titanium Features- Reedy Power SC480X electronic speed controller
- NEW Reedy Power high-torque 1523MG metal gear servo
- Steel servo horn
- Adjustable width rock sliders
- New box diorama
- Sendero HD high-strength polycarbonate body with NEW color, a cab-only design with molded utility bed
- Ocho beadlock wheels
- Adjustable front injection-molded bumper
- Updated plastics
Chassis Features
BTA STEERING and ALUMINUM STEERING PLATES: Behind-the-axle steering provides better approach angles, more clearance, and a cleaner look. Bolt-on aluminum steering plates allow for more adjustment, strength, and future modification for the user.
INTEGRATED SERVO WINCH MOUNT: Mounting a winch directly to the chassis is the strongest and most reliable spot on any trail rig. Positioned alongside the steering servo for overall chassis balance and weight distribution.
THREADED ALUMINUM SHOCK BODIES: Threaded aluminum and fluid-filled, these shocks keep the vehicle stable on the trail and retain oil even in the roughest terrain.
REEDY POWER CRAWLER MOTOR: The Reedy Power 5-slot 16-turn brushed crawler motor provides ample torque with a smooth power delivery. This allows for slow precise acceleration while maintaining consistent power over rough terrain and obstacles.
REEDY POWER ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROLLER (ESC): The water resistant SC480X brushed ESC is specifically programmed for crawling with proportional forward/reverse, dual auxiliary power output leads, LiPo low-voltage cutoff protections, and T-plug connector.
RADIO and SERVO: The XP130, 2.4GHz, 3-channel radio, and receiver, together with a 1320MG (metal gear) water-resistant servo pushing out 173 oz-in (12.5kg-cm) of torque at 6V is the perfect setup for keeping the Enduro under control on the trail.
STEALTHR X GEARBOX WITH ADJUSTABLE OVERDRIVE GEARS: At the heart of the Enduro is our revolutionary StealthR X gearbox. Although the exterior appears to have a conventional 3-gear transmission look, the inside is far from conventional. The StealthR X features the ability to adjust the rear drive ratio independently of the front drive across three levels: stock overdrives the front end 5.7% (installed in RTR), option 1 provides a one-to-one drive ratio front-to-rear (available separately), and option 2 overdrives the front end 11.83% (included with RTR).
Body Features
ALL IN THE DETAILS. No trail truck would be complete without a detailed and realistic looking body. The Sendero HD Titanium Trail Truck is just that with inspired styling from the 1980s and 1990s American pick-up trucks.
The Sendero HD Titanium comes equipped with a high-strength polycarbonate body in NEW color that has been pre-painted to look fresh off the showroom floor. The Sendero HD was designed for both looks and function, featuring a cab-only design with molded utility bed for cargo, injection-molded compact bumper, windshield wipers, folding mirrors, updated sliders, and front grill with working LEDs.
The Sendero HD's pivoting side mirror design reduces the risk of losing mirrors while on the trail. The updated sliders cradle the body to protect it when crawling over rocks. Drive your rig with confidence knowing it can handle navigating through tight technical rock features.
Out of the box, the Sendero HD Titanium Trail Truck is ready to tackle the elements -- your journey begins here!
OFFICIALLY LICENSED WHEELS AND TIRES: Gripping the trail is a set of officially licensed General GrabberTM X3 tires molded in a high-performance, soft compound rubber. The General GrabberTM X3 tires are mounted on Ocho beadlock wheels. No more worrying if your RTR tires will come unglued.

Welcome to the forum. 🙂
If you've bought it from Modelsport you could ask if anyone there would be willing to do it (usually they would do so in their free time and charge time). But this is totally down to if anyone is up for it.

I'm just charging my batteries. Haven't taken it out for ages!
By the way do you think the 3x battery cradle actually charges okay? I'm convinced it's either broken or extremely slow.

Just started Extraordinary and it's a good suggestion!
Will probably give Vikings a go afterwards.

So far I have put battered fish, nuggets, chips and faggots. If it fits then we use the air fryer.
For us northern folk: faggots are something people down south eat!
Not as a good a parmo that's for sure!
Has anyone had a deep fat fryer though, other than the obvious health benefits, are they a better alternative? Or just shouldn't be compared?

The last of us is great.
"Recently" the shows i watched were 1899 (great), The Consultant (sucker for Christopher Waltz, also great but ending was a bit meh), rewatched Happy (still awesome), The Last of Us (great). There's probably a lot more that i watched but can't remember.
oh 1899 was excellent and if you liked it watch Dark on Netlfix! It's all in German but even better, I got onto it after looking up 1899 more and it's the same writers.
@.AJ. is that Vikings on Prime?
