  4. Sent liquidrc an email about stock availability, hopefully they'll have some in two weeks.
  5. Just checked it thoroughly, can't find it on there unless I missed it...
  6. Anyone know where I can get hold of these as it's out of stock?
  7. I know it's a topic done to death but i just got to do it and I am getting a peed from carrying 2 controllers I am after a controller and 2 receivers: don't really need 4 channel but don't mind it, budget up to about
  8. Is this the one? http://www.modelsport.co.uk/ho-bao-hyper-7-wheel-hub-set/rc-car-products/17931
  9. I am trying to fit a hex conversion on my Flux and considered the Baja 24mm conversion but after hearing the extra weight puts strain on the system I've reverted back to the 17mm setup. The original part number mentioned by Drexel HPI 101045 is discontinued and replaced by 101785 which to my luck is out of stock everywhere I've looked. Is there an alternative, preferably from somewhere with stock need it by weekend.
  10. After considering the ofna hex mod I am actually thinking of going down the 24mm route... 102530 - ALUMINUM WHEEL HEX HUB SET 24mm plus a set of these 2x 4789 - DIRT BUSTER BLOCK TIRE HD COMPOUND ON BLACK WHEEL Drastic and expensive move at around
  11. They are on-road tyres, not drift if that makes a change.
  12. Not racing, just a bash at local car park. I personally doubt it should make a difference, at scale, but always wise to seek some advice.
  13. I just noticed I glued tires on one side of my Sprint in the wrong direction, so the thread pattern is in opposition direction. Is this a major screw up that will result in the universe imploding on its self or I am ok to leave it on? I really can't be asked to boil and re-glue. Thanks in advance.
  14. Do you have any part numbers or web links mate? I need to do something like this for my Flux before I shred all the wheels.
  15. I have a Lowepro Slingshot 100 AW camera bag for sale and its in real good condition. There are no marks or tears. The bag can hold a dslr plus 1 or 2 lens and loads of other zipped up bits for memory cards etc. also hidden weather cover. Looking at
  16. What are exact parts required for the XL axle conversion? Part nos?
  17. I think HPI's customer support service has been one of the best I've used from any company. Last time I had a fault with an item took pictures, emailed it over and part arrived next day
  18. Think the closest might be 308 Hobbies on Holloway Road, give them a call before popping down to make sure it's in stock. http://www.308hobbies.com/
  19. After some time away from the hobby I started off with nitro, HPI Savage 25, as the noise and mechanics of tuning an engine appealed to me but overtime the novelty wore off. I only had couple of hours on weekends to bash about and ended up spending at least 30 mins to hour tuning the engine, working out gremlins and spilling fuel everywhere by which I had to rush home. I've since converted to electric and its now much easier to go to a field, chuck batteries in and off bashing. I am actually enjoying the hobby more than before. There was another reason why I converted to electric, I am a father to 3 month old baby boy and want him to also enjoy the hobby once he's older. I wouldn't want him around nitro fuel and inhaling fumes once he was older, the stuffs pure evil to a child's lung and skin. There will be others who argue otherwise etc but I am just considering my child's health. So from one parent to another I'd recommend an electric buggy which you could use both on dirt and road. I am true HPI fan boy as they are well made and parts easy to get hold off but this might be outside your budget. I started off with Tamiya in my teens, it forms an ideal base to learn the hobby as models and parts are cheap and easily available.
  20. Have you thought of the Futaba 4pl? I am trying to make a decision between 4pl and dx4s so would like to hear people experiences too. (Sorry don't mean to hijack your thread mate )
  21. Modelsport sell them http://www.modelsport.co.uk/modelsport-uk-bearing-6x10x3-yokomo-/rc-car-products/12666
