  1. I'm after a set of Gulf racing decals, any recommended sellers in the UK? Heard some places can be a bit hit or miss. Thanks

      Great looking little pup @oodboo ❤️.
      Enjoy these days as they really do flyby. I'd make sure you take some pictures of the little guy next to items in the house you'll still have a few years later as it's funny looking back at how small they once were.
      Our dog is 2 years old in June and best thing myself and the Mrs ever decided to do. Had lot's of "family" dogs but is our first dog together.

      I think the key here is how you intend to use it, 'bashing' encompasses all manner of activities.  If the wheels are going to (mainly) stay on the ground, or at the least not that far off it, and you tend to run a lot with other rigs, wheel to wheel so to speak, then I'd go with the Senton.  If, however, you intend to do some 'big' jumps on a regular basis, then I'd go with the BRCC every day.  Much better at getting big air, easier to control, and the bigger wheels/tyres help absorb more of the forces when landing those jumps.  The MT is also the 'cleaner' rig over the winter months as alluded to above.

      I would say the advice above is spot on.

      If you are just wanting something to jump that will take the landings best out of all the range, go with the Big Rock or even the Granite.

      If you are wanting something in between, I'd recommend the Senton.

      If you want something very fast for rough stuff, the Typhon.

      There is something for every situation pretty much.

      Great 1/10 truck the Big Rock, fast out the box on 3s and its tough, easy to work on.

      I was hoping for a thunder dragon rere, fingers crossed for a thunder shot later in the year as I missed that last rere. Got the terra scorcher, fire dragon on pre order, dragon and shot would complete the collection nicely.

    3. turok007

      turok007

      are you going to use them or just for show   as i might get 2  one for driving and one for a shelf.

    4. oodboo

      oodboo

      I've got an old one that I drive, these will probably just sit on the shelf. My attitude might change when lockdown is over though. Got some alloy A5 parts on order so they might end up as runners.

  8. Wifey gave me a dt03 black edition and modelsport have taken payment for my vqs pre order. Got some building to do 🙂

      I’m wondering if I was doing something wrong, contacted them and they couldn’t see any problems. Placed the order again and it’s gone straight through.

      That does look good, as above though,  will be interested to see the price once Brexit, Covid and whatever other reasons for higher cost they can come up with are taken into account 😀

  14. Finally finished the decals on the tamiya alpine a110. Been doing bits now and then when I had some time for the last two weeks or more.

  18. I don’t understand why people complain about tamiya screws. Just built a kit with hex head metric screws and they’re a little nightmare. Couldn’t have done it without my drill. I much prefer a tamiya kit build than that SCX10 kit but at least I’m happy with the result.

  20. Anyone know where I can get a new DF03ra chassis? Tamico had one in earlier but now showing out of stock.

  21. So I bought a Hubsan X4 storm fpv racing drone on impulse. I’ve flown it a handful of times and managed to burn out a motor already. It’s just not for me. Do I: a) sell it as is, needing repairs. b) Repair and sell (£20 for a set of motors) or c) repurpose the camera into a car for fpv driving?

  23. First time I tried recording a flight with my new drone it went up, then it went down into a tree, had to ask next door if I could get it back. Also happened to be my longest flight. I’m not good at this 🤣🤣
