  1. What's the best solder you guys have used? Bought some which said to have flux core, but it was terrible.

      That stuff looks good, do you know the length? I think it only says the weight? Cheers

      Length? As long as 100g lol.

      Not sure on length, never needed to know, but I can do a hell of a lot of stuff with it on a 100g roll.

      Never needed flux with that stuff.

      Don't forget Amazon as well. Quite a lot of the genuine ones on there.

      The genuine ones to have the SJCAM name on them in the lower right of the front. There are a lot of copies that just sat SJ4000.

      Ad above it needs to say sjcam in the lower right corner..iI debated the sj and gopro I brought the gopro but now wish I brought the sjcam. Since either would have had little use and provided the same quality. There's some great footage from the sjcams.

      Crew no doubt.

      It has its bugs or did at release but damn some of the races are epic. Takes over an hour and you drive all over the country. Through swamps of the south up freeways around alaskas snow mountains then through the desserts. The custom side is immense. I haven't played mine for awhile but will do now you've reminded me I have it. Hopefully the bugs are fixed. It was only

  5. Another LiPo question. I crashed my heli in a fresh water river yesterday, and the LiPo was sat plugged in an on in the heli fro about 15 mins. Once it was retrieved, the LiPo was unplugged and left to dry. Will it be ok to charge again?

      The water may have shorted it out and discharged it below min voltage.

  9. Looking for alloys for the 1/1, and came across Tyre Leader. Much cheaper than everywhere else, but wondering if anyone has used them and your experiences?

  10. Heng Long tank worth buying for some light off-road fun?

      fun things to tinker and mod with as well

      Tamiyacowboy

      smoke and sound are not very good ( adult wise.) but for kids they sound like a tank n puff like a tank to, the adult fun comes with the BB gun fitted and the huge array of add ons and moding that can be done.

      Oh How Original

      Yep, don't need a lot of power for a 2wd SCT.

  11. Would one can of 100ml Tamiya PS paint be enough to cover a Blitz undertray?

    2. Oh How Original

      Oh How Original

      Yep, you'd do about 3 undertrays with a full can bud :)

      Three at least, if my painting skill is owt to go by!

      Amazing how much air I spray, rather than the shell itself :(

    4. Thunderwolf

      Thunderwolf

      same here noj, i usually use a whole can for a 1/8th buggy shell, assuming it one colour.

      getting better at it though.

  12. Whats the best way of producing a 'sparkle' or 'shining fleck' effect on a lexan shell? I am painting it blue by the way.

      search google for a "Metal Flake" polycarbonate paint, you should be able to find some paint that spray clear but has some small shiny flakes in it, basicly glitter glue in a spray can, put that on befoe the blu and you will get the look you mention

      Tamiya Lame Flake it awesome stuff!

  13. For bashing, do I want a fast servo, or high-torque servo (steering)?

  14. Any MT bodies fit a Blitz?

    1. Alex97

      with our without the bumpers?

    2. RCbutcher

      I had a traxxas revo shell arive fitted to a slash. But it looked silly being skinny.

      Something like the ford bronco proline is really wide which should fit.

      But the proline raptor svt sct body looks like a nice truck body unless you want big wheels.

      Try and find some pics of them iv seen the blitz body on the savage looked ok.

  15. This is going to sound silly, but what do you guys use to clean plastic chassis'?

      Not to mention the size of the box doesn't have anything to do with it, I got a huge box with my 8x8x4 scaler inside and it got through without any charges.

  18. Can I put a static boat build thread in the Marine section, or it is better suited to the gallery/lounge

  19. Anyone know of a place I can get the STRC Blitz steering rack in the UK? Can only find it in the US :(

      Oh well, lets just hope customs is nice.

      Do you know where the best place to get it then? I've just been looking at eBay.

  20. AXN Floater or Phoenix 1600?

  21. Just had a nice bash with the Blitz. Nothing broke and now back home with some pizza and a cup of tea...

  22. I just found a small dent in the side of a softcase 3S lipo, but no puncture. The blue outer covering is ripped, and the silver foil around the cell is dented, but somehow not punctured. This can't be used again right? I am so lucky it didn't puncture on impact :(

      I've had a few like that, I just kept a close eye on it when charging and didn't worry about it in the model... I'm not as bothered about my model going up in flames in the middle of a field as I am my bedroom lol.
