      I don't have any of those RCs, but my Kraton ran 50k/100k/30k f/c/r. Some people run 200k in the centre. 

       

      Since you have a decent selection there, just go from there - there really isn't a must-have selection because you tune to your liking. Some people like it tighter, others less so.

  5. I’ll pm you PayPal details, unless you want to collect? Are you near Guildford at all?
  6. Best budget servos for 1/8 buggy? The nanda servos are terrible!! Life r/x pack on its way so I don’t want to go ott on this car, what kg for steering & what for brake/throttle? I’m thinking Amazon specials but what kg can I skimp with.

      you can go less KG but as you say it can struggle a bit

      To be fair, 25+kg on steering is pretty stout. More than i'd throw at it. Personally i run 15-20kg, with more focus on the "fast" part - 0.10 sec or less. 

       

      25kg and up, for me, is more truggy territory. No idea about throttle servos though, i don't do nitro. 

       

      Also depends on how fast you need it - good budget servo options available on ali, but of course they take a while to arrive. BLS-HV25MG for example,

      Stupid fast, and 18kg at 6v - plenty. For me personally, anyway. I ran my pretty heavy Typhon 6s on a 20kg servo, didn't need more. 9imod as well as DMOND (brushless variants) are currently all the rage in terms of budget servos, if you can wait for them to arrive. Otherwise.. I guess Power HD is always a reasonable choice, though not as cheap anymore as they once were. They're decent (somewhat slow though) enough.

  7. Ahh shame, buggy truggy or MT 1/8 is all I’m really in for a trade. 👍 I’ll pm you RE the dx4c receiver 👍
  8. I used to buy orangeRX receivers from hobby king for my DX4C & DX3C, is there any others that people use?

    1. Gaz!

      Gaz!

      @Gaz! Are you sure? That’d be fantastic!

      Are the NRB 5 hard to tune? Thinking of one as a basher 

    4. Bigjimknickers

      Bigjimknickers

      @Masterdave I’ll let you know in a few days but I’ll say it’s easy as it’s an SH.21 engine pretty solid budget engine as standard.👍

  10. Bump, £130 posted & fees inc. only as I want a new nitro.
  11. Quite fancy a nitro hyper 7- anyone know of any rollers? I remember years ago they were £50-£80 & ten a penny! Found all my spares yesterday & it’s kick started My interest. also interested in a savage roller.

      Pretty sure one of the Nanda’s was a Hyper 7 clone

      is that the same nanda that makes wheels and tyres? got nanda's on my converted hyper 7 🙂

      I believe nanda is a Schumacher company?

  13. I picked up one in bits years ago, built it up & got it running- just dug it out this weekend & I’ll get it running ASAP, it had a leak on the fuel tank stopping it From running sweet, I’ve changed the lid & it may be better now. then the glow starter was flat.. 😡🙄
  14. Every time I fancy taking my nitro truggy out my glow starter is flat- are those AA compatible ones any good? Or any recommendations?

      Could just get something like this and run it from a random lipo, I’d probably use something like this as my main starter nowadays if I still did nitro I reckon.

  15. How you getting on with this A.J? I was messing about with my nitro st-1 just the other day, got it all ready to run then realised my glow starter was flat. 😬😬
  16. Any thread on this AJ? I’m just getting back into nitro with an old ST-1
  17. I’ll be honest I have my TRX4 full fat bronco & my arrma granite blx & I don’t even get to use them an awful lot, so not really, there isn’t anything I’ve got my eye on currently!
  18. Used indoors over Xmas 3-4 times, & sat here since! Just charged it & ran it to check, all good. £150 posted & fees included.
  19. On my maiden run I noticed I had no drag brake, any tips on how to activate it on the stock esc? xL-5 is that it? I have the Traxxas pro scale light kit wired to it so I’m not looking at swapping it out.
  20. So this is interesting, my son has the pink one now as the new version comes clipless, pretty much a Traxxas rip off, very cool body mount system, I’ll get some pics later.
