likewise admire those that can. I have no urge to do so... 🙂 just a fan of bands with meaningful progressive political lyrics. and some of those are punk, some straight edge. e.g. Rise Against. Also a big fan bands like The Levellers, New Model Army, - band that can write down in song reflections on what is wrong in the world.

Nice share. I had not researched/gone as far back as Minor Threat before. and had no idea the term straight edge came from one of their songs. Big fan of Rise Against - more recent punk band with many members as straight edge. progressive politics and hardcore/punk.

Thanks. I think I need a more open space to test it. Goes like stink. But I have only tried on front of the house. Too many parked cars and curbs. Nice idea on torque steer but it has a front spool. Only diff is at the rear

Finally nearly finished and driveable. Splendid mistake with the shocks so had to rebuild. Really enjoyed putting this together. Electronics are used and out of another touring car. No reverse . Not sure if that is a possibility on this ESC. I do have a weird road test problem though. Steering was super twitchy. I have turned down the expo on the steering channel and that has made it slightly better. Not fixed it And under hard acceleration it pulls to the right. What might I look at for that.pulling under acceleration?

Bump and... These are ending tonight. I have another of the savox and the ftx enrage. And a few with scale. DM if looking for a motor. I will keep an eye on the wanted section otherwise

same question as above. what size- 40 or 36mm. i have a bunch listed on ebay finishing tomorrow : https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/jariworsley/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from= I have more to thin out just not listed them anywhere yet. What is it to go in?

I have skimmed the for sale rules and think this post is ok. Mods let me know if not and I can amend/close. I dont know if its ok to just add the ebay listings here, or if I am expected to add in fixed prices for each motor. I am having a clear out of motors. Too much magpie tendency and too little time. I have listed them all on ebay. 9 auctions in total. me: https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/jariworsley. (11 years with that profile and 100% positive feedback) items: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/jariworsley/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from= Adding in some of the more interesting here. I am happy to do deals outside of ebay. Oddest of all: a 3650 can 3600kV Savox brushless motor. Yes Savox. Really. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185340912427?hash=item2b272de32b:g:xgcAAOSwTS5iMP2n I can find reference to Savox brushless motors in only one place so far. here, a japanese RC shop. https://www.sekidorc.com/pdf/SAVOXmotorCATALOG_20130118.pdf ebay auction is starting at 99p. take your chances or... impossible to value. £30 delivered inc fees. I have 3 of the smaller finned brushless: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185340967791?hash=item2b272ebb6f:g:Z-wAAOSwWMBiMQac and for larger scale an etronix photon 2y 2150 kv 4075 size: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185340992698?hash=item2b272f1cba:g:FpAAAOSwFJliMQrx £55 delivered inc. fees. there are a few others in the listings. ping me with direct message here or on that auction site.

Don't discount it and don't let my realism put you off.. There is a load of interest and stuff to learn in the hobby. And it does not need to be really expensive and you don't have to learn it all at once. One approach is to try someone's RC. Depending where you live in the country... I bet you are close to a member on here. Or a decent hobby shop. Go and try someone else's. And it does not need to be hugely expensive. Like building things? there are plenty of Tamiya kits that are fun to build in their own right and then stick on shelf. I.e. closer to the modelling side and great scale realism. Like running? There are smaller scale vehicle that are cheap to buy and upgrade.

My advice? If you have a budget ... then don't spend all of it to buy the RC Unless you are going to buy it and stick it on the shelf then there are ALWAYS running and upgrade costs. Leave some money aside for that. It is a big part of the journey and fun of owning an RC. If you are not just buying it to put on a shelf then there are two big parts: 1. running it 2. upgrading, maintaining, fettling, cleaning it. 1, running it, ..... leads to breakages and parts wearing out, or frustration with the gear that came wiht it and upgrade-itis. and that leads to number 2 - maintenance. e.g. hit a curb (dont run somewhere with curbs) - break an arm and order parts. or ... misjudge a jump and replace X, y, z. or get fed up waiting for batteries to charge or short run times and... buy more batteries (never cheap) or a decent charger. 2 - upgrades, maintenance etc. you run it you will break it. what tools do you have? decent tools make working on an RC a pleasure. bad tools make it a total PITA. keep breaking particular part? upgrade it tyres dont work where you run? buy new ones seems slower than you wanted or got used to the speed? now you are buying higher cell count batteries or better motor/ESC. be realistic.. These are all emotional not rational purchases. That means logic and reason go out the window. My prediction? if you spend £400 buying a car you will have spent another 2-400 by the end of 12 months as part of owing that RC. (e.g. tools, batteries, chargers, wear and tear, upgrades, etc, etc). so if you have the money go and buy it, enjoy the journey and have fun. just go in with eyes open.

I have a short term cheaper option for you, somewhat tongue in cheek but... with element of truth. 1. Fix the buggy. 2. find somewhere to bash that is nowhere near kerbs. kerbs kill cars. at the scale it is like driving a 1:1 car into a 2 metre high concrete wall. physics wins. and there is subtlety here in the stories above - that tamiya is transferring that impact direct into the chassis. does not look like there is any bumper at the front at all. But a savage landing on its nose is landing on a flexible rubber bumper, a model kartwheeling over a field is... losing energy to soft ground not a brick wall. for best bang for buck? 2nd hand 8th scale brushless buggy. or one of the bouncy monster truck or short course with bumpers front and rear. or see if tbones are available for tamiya ??? dont know if they are

ok. no problem. i will have to list and set proper prices if others are interested let me know.

etronix 2y 2150kv sensorless. ftx colossus motor - not 40size. 3670 from memory and 2250kv. prob not what you aare looking for if wanting occasional 6s and a obbywing 4268 1900 i know if this was the for sales section I would need a price... but hopefully a bit looser in wanted. let me know if these are of any interest.

what sort of size are you after? i.e. what is it going in? and how many cells are you looking to use? i have too many things lying around, e.g. 2230kv motor from the ftx colossus. or larger hobbywing.

quality piece of kit that hong nor and looks clean. I was tempted by that too - 12-nitroman on that auction site yes? I seem to remember "hong nor big bores" being just the thing for those converting hyper 7s years ago?

Choice over the blower would be great. They missed perhaps a trick on the body posts for the hood at.least. Just make them look like hood pins http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=025gcq9o9gefna99i9ip8dcbd1&action=dlattach;topic=2223.0;attach=3886;image
