  1. bought my kids a WLtoys A959, hopefully they will enjoy it, its probably going to end up in total carnage, but you've gotta encourage the next generation of bashers right? 😂

  2. Hey guys 🙂 ,

     

    it's been a few years, But I've got the urge to build a 1/8th kit, i'm looking at something in stock in the uk, top of the list is a tlr 8ight-XE, any thoughts on an alternative option?, not fussed on a truggy or buggy, must be a kit as i enjoy the build.

      @Scoobie007 - was just about to text you but my phones decided to do an update.

      @ostewart is selling some very nice electrics for a 1/8 kit if you get one, might do you a bit of a deal as a package.

  3. on leave for 3 weeks, got round to building a custom loop water cooler for the pc, happy with the results for a first attempt

      Next question would be will the body fit with the wires coming out of the top?

    3. Scoobie007

      Scoobie007

      that was something else i noticed when it was all fitted up, but yes, it fits with no adverse bending or crimping of the motor wires.

      could you not cut abit of the lipo?

  5. Any insider information where i might be able to grab an axial rr10 bomber kit? im a bit late to the party, but i really fancy a punt on one, tower hobbies have them, but i was looking for one a little closer

    1. Geeze

      Geeze

      Axial kits are hens teeth at the moment :(

      I've heard it's supply chain issues while they move their manufacturer or something?

      When I looked a month or so ago, I could find RTR in Europe but kits I could only find from the states.

      Same with the SCX10 II kit, ended up trying an Outlaw as a budget Yeti alternative instead

      Came across one EU site quoting availability 07/10/2017 :o

      Hope that's a typo.

    3. Geeze

      Geeze

      I hope it's a typo, already hard enough getting hold of Axial parts without waiting until October!

      Have heard rumours to expect stock May and that it may be June before they are actually on the shelves.

      How reliable that is though, I have no idea :huh:

       

  6. 10 days and still no diff/shock oils :crying: hurry up, im itching to get this kit built :lol:

      The post system sucks at the mo, I've had 1st class stuff take 3/4 days to turn up and 2nd class turn up next day

    3. Oh How Original

      Oh How Original

      To be fair, didn't it take like 6 days to get them out after you ordered?

      Your (and my) RCMart orders actually arrived before they were even sent... Ordered on the same day! :lol: 

    4. Scoobie007

      Scoobie007

      yeah i ordered them on a tuesday, after i contacted them, they said they been posted the following monday, still, fingers crossed for tomorrow :good:

  7. nearly 70gb of beta games done in 3 hours, not bad BT, for once, not bad

  8. think ive managed to crack this soldering malarkey, its not the neatest, but its solid :good:

      All comes with practice and the right temperature iron. :) doesn't have to be pretty at first, as long as it works.

  9. so, thats me back on the RC wagon, Losi 8ight 4.0 kit on its way :D

      you know me mate, i like to take time on these sort of things :P

    3. Oh How Original

      Oh How Original

      This is true... Just didn't expect it to be glacial :P on a serious note, you made a great choice and will end up with a beast of a buggy.

  10. so after an 8 month hiatus, im returning back to the darkside :-), overclocking cpus has me bored, got an 'itch' for a vorza, but oho keeps telling me NO lol, im not looking for a kit builld, just something out of the box 'rtr', got my eyes on either a losi mini 8ight, the hpi trophy buggy, or the losi 8ight-E rtr.

  11. so, after selling some goods on fleabay, i check my paypal acount to find all the funds are pending, apparently, if there are no issues with my goods, i will receive the funds in 21 days, paypal go on further to explain this helps create a safe selling environment, i could ubderstand if my account was new, but ive been using ebay for about 8 years, and ive got 100% feedback out of over 400 transactions, anyone else has this happen recently? is it a new thing thats been introduced or just a random event?

    3. Scoobie007

      Scoobie007

      i think the fact i still technically 'owe' them 700 odd quid as the money is yet to be taken from my account, the 250 odd quid coming in was held 'just incase' i decided not to pay, i keep meaning to turn the pay after delivery option off, but i always forget, infact i still havnt done it now :D

    4. evssv

      You really needs to get a fresh key cut for that ball and chain so you can take it off once in a while :P:lol:

      If my ebay goes to plan I'm going to flip a coin on getting the mini glande I'm not sure yet tho. All I know right now is it's cutie build from all metal and my youngest would love it with my eldest using the scx10.  

       

      Ofcourse I'll enjoy them for the tinkering but going slow isn't for me really but I love messing about with them. 

       

      Also a condition of the coin flip will be price I think around 200 right now.  Probably be in for a shock tho. 

  14. Gelande 2 has finally cleared customs after 'awaiting clearance' for the past 14 days, fees paid, so fingers crossed for a tomorrow delivery, although its very doubtful lol.

      Scoobie007

      i did think about it, but its nearly a 100 mile round trip to where its currently sat, so i paid the fee's online as soon as the bill dropped this morning, the trackings updated to 'delivery scheduled' so super optimistically hoping for delivery tomorrow, despite it being a saturday, if not i expect it will be tuesday, just intime for me to have to leave it for a week as im away with work :crying:

      That's a shame the depot is so far away, my local Parcelfarce is about 3mins in the car

      Scoobie007

      tracking status has now change to ' prepared for delivery' looking good for a saturday delivery :D

  15. jesus, building a 'scaler' is more expensive than running a 1/5th, im like a kid in an expensive sweet shop!

    1. RC4WD fan

      RC4WD fan

      don't even go there with scale RC's you pay more for bits and bobs than what you payed for the RC itself that's one reason why I want to stop getting scale RC's but I can't :doh:

      Can't argue with you there RC. Dreading the costs of turning my (soon to be purchased) Boyer into a comp rig.

  16. spent 8 hours on the thames yesterday renewing my 'fast rescue boat ticket', on the plus side it was next door to the metropolitan police anti terrorism training centre, spent hours watching them storm mocked up city streets and banks using helicopters and armoured vehicles, most of them looked like they knew what they were doing, they must get sacked after the pass :-/

  18. new scx10 deadbolt, new yeti springs arrived from rcmart AND my ms back order arrived, all in all a good day :-)

  19. had a blast with the yeti today, well, until the spur let go

    1. Oh How Original

      Oh How Original

      Maybe it is the motor mount then as I'm on basically an identical set up to you and mine let go on that 3s pretty quickly.

    2. Scoobie007

      Scoobie007

      it was amazing fun until that point, in fairness it was probably down to how i set the mesh, ive got some more spurs to play around with, if they let go just as quick, i will look into the upgraded motor mount

  20. 6400 mah 3s on charge, gonna see what this yeti is all about tomorrow.

      I enjoyed mine...but couldn't run it in many places due to limited ground clearance. Spent more time being run on tarmac with 1/10 onroad wheels

    2. Scoobie007

      Scoobie007

      it will mostly be ran on flat grass, hard packed woodland mud, looking for something cheap, transportable and bashable for myself and the boys for summer holidays
