      sun can also destroy the camera but not a lot can be done about that . lol also in the UK we don't really have to worry about the sun normally.

      I think they have to cull even Girrafes for various reasons. Instead of just shooting them they get Rich tossers to pay to shoot them. So i read anyway. I wouldnt really believe any kind of threat over FB. Just some keyboard warrior!

      there is a very rare rhino. but it has to be killed as it's attacking the other ones. so the animal lovers are having a auction. highest bidder can shoot it.

      If that really is the case I would add that as part of the auction they then own it and have it take it home with them ;)

      Whats a bonus? Poor show though if your job is one of those that relies on a bonus to top up a lacklustre salary.

      some you can hebby but its a lucky dip, there aint much in the way of factory testing, they just throw parts in the can, push fit the end caps, shove a bit o heatshrink on, motors done thrown into baggie ready. takes just one winding to have an area uncovered and grounding out and the motors gonna arc like hell and burn out.

      It was getting super hot, dont think it was over geared and only using 2s lipo. Might be able to pick up a Carisma motor for it tonight, see how that goes. It spins up lovelly but put it under any load and it cannot take it. Was going to get another but they are out of stock. Maybe it was just a dodgy one as the same one runs in a Carisma GTB great.

      Failing that mate i have a brand new ( well used twice ) motor from my Mini right-T :) let me know we can arrange a good price ;)

  13. Purchased a Stick transmitter from someone and they sent it in just a Jiffy Bag. No packing, no box or anything. The right stick is jammed in solid and the battery door is broken. Its fricken useless now. Some people have no common sense at all!

      Mine couldn't have been anymore packaged to be honest, it must have simply been thrown very hard, I also settled it with the seller instantly, even though it wasn't my fault.
