  1. 5th scale experts.. Do baja beadlocks fit 5ive rims?

      Same size wheels in height, it's the tyre height that changes between the Baja 5B and 5T, but all the rims are the same.

      That's why you can fit baja 5b front tyres/foams on losi mini wheels... tight fit but solves the rubbing issues :)

      im glad i seen this as i was chewing on a emaxx or t maxx .im up one these dose anyone no release date?

      Wow that is one rc that's made me regret my rally I really really like this. It'll have faults for sure but upgrading is the best part with traxxas. When the video started and he flipped something in the bed I thought it might be petrol.  That would seal the deal a savage octane killer. But then the octane killed itself lol. 

  4. quite fancy a tamiya truck next, even though i will never use it

      Then again that's how hoarding starts lol. Buying stuff to box up until you've brought more stuff lol. Mayb just one slow build will be ok.

      i think i'll keep an eye out for one that needs a bit work, i prefer rebuilding them rather than running them

      I fancy a tamiya mini

  5. Alan Partidge will keep me company for the next 24 hours while i try to assemble beadlocks

  6. right, need diff shims for my MERV, the Associated ones everyone use are only sold by Wheelspin who i point blank refuse to order from. I've worked out i need 8x10x0.1mm shims but i can't find any of those either, anyone got an idea where i could get some?

    1. bunnie

    3. RCbutcher

      Ide just use wheelspin lol. I've only had good dealings with them. Of course the backorder thing is a pain but most stores are like that. 6 months ms held my money once then I had to call them for a refund.

  7. do i want rubber or metal shielded bearings for my merv? It'll not be used in any wet or muddy conditions

    1. PraetoR

      PraetoR

      If you use it on dirt tracks, or dusty locations etc, then I'd go for rubber shielded. Tarmac only, go for \m/

    2. lel-95

      lel-95

      cheers! I'll go for rubber to be on the safe side

  8. merv shocks sorted with a nice mix of 5k diff oil and shock oil

  9. got a 2s pack thats nearly half a volt out of balance and a balance charge makes no difference, bugger

  10. Brushless,3s powered MERV added to the fleet!

      RPM arms and knuckles all round, leopard ESC and 4750KV motor, goes like a stabbed rat on 3s and still quick on 2s

      if it looked like taylor swift i wouldn't have been so tight with my money

  14. anyone know why a brushed motor would 'tick' Brushes are good, bearings are good and theres nothing inside the motor, one run old

      he had it coming, top gear is about more than just him. If the other two dont want to do it because clarksons not, theres plenty more they can do.

  16. remembered why i dislike tamiya white, it covers like water and still isn't dry after 4 hours

  17. masked a shell and then remembered to wash it, i can tell its been a while since i done this

  18. best place for warm white LED's? I want something close to the colour of a standard 1:1 car bulb

      I ended up using 4 on a Sawback shell with light coats. As OHO said go for 2 but you might need a third depending on how you apply coats

      It is actually a corollary of "Sod's Law" - It always takes one more than you have!

      i think i'll go for 3 seeing as i'm usually fairly heavy with paint, then i'll order the 4th when i inevitably run out! cheers chaps

      I've noticed the high shipping charges with RCMart for the last year and it's put me off using them, last year I bought a 1/10 motor combo, Flysky GT3C x 2, a bodyshell and some 1/10 shocks and it came to around
