Hi everyone, the wheels and tyres on my losi speed-nt are looking a bit sorry for themselves, so I priced a new set and it's going to cost like
-
That looks like a handy wee set up!
-
I got hold of a workbench from work so i'm going to buy a vice, a bench grinder and some other bits and bobs with the money I was going to spend on one. So what's your favourite tool? I have stacks of tools but I think my favourite is a Halfords 1/4 drive ratchet, for no particular reason, I just like using it lol
-
Ideal, I can live with that! thanks bud!

http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cwb-r1-workbench-red?da=1&TC=RV-040317705 'What's your opinion on it? I've seen various different brands selling it and I'm thinking of getting one for doing little odd jobs on, but it perhaps looks a little flimsy? Also will it fit (un-built!) in the back of a vw golf with the seats folded down? lol Cheers

This is the original set up http://losi.com/Products/Gallery.aspx?ProdID=LOSB0125&Index=19
-
Thanks guys, the original was a sort of compound, with metal plates working like pads squeezing it to brake, almost like the opposite of a real cars set-up! Think i'll try it anyway, the machinist in work said he can knock one up if i give him some dimensions
-
Hi everyone, i seem to have lot the brake disc off my losi speed-nt while out bashing?? The problem is sourcing one in the UK! So what i'd like to know is if i got one machined out of metal, either steel, aluminium or titanium, would that work? Also can anyone point me in the direction of a uk supplier who has one in stock? The part number is LOSA9413 Thanks guys
-
Awesome thread, 'just spent about 45 mins looking through it! My garage has a seive for a roof, and is about to fall down so the top of the stairs is my workbench lol
-
Thanks bud, i found the pdf on the page, and i've got a universal charger somewhere so i should be good to go!
-
This one? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__7028__Turnigy_Accucel_6_50W_6A_Balancer_Charger_w_accessories.html 'looks like a winner! Thanks for the advice everyone
-
I didn't realise there was a genuine one to copy, maybe that's why it's a mystery charger! I assumed that if it's coming from Hong Kong then it must be kinda crappy anyway lol. I once got a car CD/DVD player from HK, it stopped playing cd's after a week! 'think yous are right with going to hobbyking, just wish they listed things in GBP's though!
-
Thanks guys, that was quick! 'think i'll take the plunge and ask the wife to order me one,, i'm sure i've got a multi charger/transformer at the back of a cupboard somewhere. Only thing is i'll need to get a hump pack on the sly lol

Is it a good buy or cheap rubbish that'll fail after a few uses? I'm on a tight budget these days so don't want to spend a forune on a charger
-
I've been having a wee look about the web, 'think i'm going to stick with AA's for the time being until i get a balance charger. Otherwise i'd need to get a charger for the hump, unless it's a lipo, then another for when i eventually get a battery for the roto starter instead of the cordless drill i'm using at the moment!
-
D'oh! ^ stupid phone lol
-
Thanks guys, I'll pop out for some aa's and replace the tx's. I'm looking into using my 11v plane battery with a ubec, which someone suggested, but don't have a ubec yet!

When the batteries go flat how do you tell if its in the tx or rx that's needing replacements? I've got 4 AA 's In both. What's happening is the steering straightens when the throttle is pulled. Also what generally goes through most batts, the transmitter or car? Cheers
-
Cool, that looks like just the jobby! Glad i didn't just try it, as tempting as it was lol!
-
1st of all please excuse all my noob questions! Anyway, Currently my car has 4 AA batteries in it, however i have an 11.1v lipo battery from my plane that will fit, but i'm guessing the voltage is a tad high? I don't want to try it just in case! lol. The reciever is a Spektrum MRX-3000 if that's any help?
-
That's a good shout, i'll give that a try first, cheers bud!
-
My steering doesn't always work on my losi speed-nt, if I lift it off the ground and turn the wheel back and forward it doesn't respond maybe 1 out of 10 times, and takes several turns for it to work again. Does this mean I need a new reciever? It's a 2.4 system but from what I can work out I can link it to my existing transmitter? Thanks
-
Pmsl! That was lucky then! Thanks bud
-
Hi, i have a Losi speed-nt, and instead of using a roto start thingy to start the engine i use a cordless drill. My question is more out of curiosity, but what would happen if i used it in the wrong direction? I watched a youtube vid and took a risk when i first used it and done it clockwise, which thankfully worked!

This is my weekend toy, the blue front end is the result of a motorway spin lol, but will be painted for the show season starting! http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/577/linerh.jpg/
