  1. Great day flying yesterday. Sadly my new fpv wing is now lost in the top of some trees. We’re pretty sure it’s dead too as there was some smoke (still couldn’t recover the air frame)

     

    so so do I buy a

    zohd dart

    zohd dart xl

    zohd orbit

      I really won’t be ordering from

      bang good I would rather eat my shoes then spend money with them. 

      Mat the moment it’s looking like the dart with a tramp hv vtx and runcam split 2

       

      all powered by crossfire off my xlite

      You must of had a really bad do with BG, how about the sonicmodel AR900, love mine, full inav, matek F405 wing board really good fpv in it, flies so well

      Sonicmodel and zohd are the same people.

       

      already got a dart on order

       

      in other news the guys I fly with managed to recover the electronics from my crashed wing! 

  2. Makeitbuildit are offering 10% of hpi cars and 5% off fpv stuff...

     

    just in case anyones interested

  3. Nothing quite like getting a bunch of lipos free to test. Hope they are as good as it’s been suggested they are :)

  4. Selling up the ground based fleet. Not sure what’s gonna go up next but I am done!

      Total apathy towards it. I used my cars 3 times this year with a total of about 30mins of driving time. Just wasn’t interested 

    3. Carpmart

      Carpmart

      That's a shame... What ya got for sale then... :D 

  5. nothing worse than planning to go flying at the weekend and find your fatsharks lipo has puffed like a balloon.... what makes it worse is no one has one in stock anywhere :(

    1. turok007

      turok007

      just use another lipo.

    2. Madmini

      Madmini

      Wish I could but I don't have any 2s lipos

       

      smallest I have is 4s 

  6. Really fancy the oho's boat but got 2 minor issues

     

    1, no where whatsoever to run it

    2, no spare cash with which to buy it

     

    bother

      Talk to him nicely and he might "throw in" a spade to dig a pond in your back garden.

       

  7. why does it take so long for simple things like glue to arrive from the internets.

    1. johninderby

      johninderby

      Always bugs me why the sellers of small things that you want the next day don't offer next day delivery. :cussing2:

  8. Flipping eBay scammers. 

     

    Listed my recently sold Baja even used my pictures I just hope no one is stupid enough to send money to this scum bag.

     

    i also hope his socks are forever slightly twisted in his shoes.

     

    now if you guys can do me a favour and report this item to eBay that would be great

      or you pay you pay now. Ive actually had that from a china seller. 

       

      Ill ask him how much its listed for. When he tells me ill offer 10% and say he wont find a better deal. 

       

      The savage sold for under 300 and pontipool? Isn't that uk looks a bargain but not crazy. 

    3. evssv

      evssv

      Yeah that was the orginal ad...I found  the dodgy  China  one  the other night :yes:.it's gone now

      Ahhhh number one baja...brum brum long time

  9. wish the last few bits i need for my new quad would arrive so i can start crashing it

  10. Missing using my Rc' sits been ages since I was last out. 

  11. PlayStation vr is actually really really good!

    1. russruss123

      russruss123

      i cant wait to get one just aint paying 350 squid for you

      I have to say it's worth the cash. I had played around with an ocullus and a vive! While both had better graphics the cost of the setup is prohibitively expensive. The psvr is cheep and really effective. I've been glued to eve valkery and find myself looking forward to playing it again tonight 

       

      well worth the investment!

    3. russruss123

      russruss123

      Maybe santa ? might bring one yet

  12. anyone else getting psvr?

     

     

  13. Finally finished paying off my old credit card. Called them to close the account and they said keep it open and we will give you £20.

     

    decided to close it anyway as £20 while being a useful amount of money isn't enough to warrant the temptation of a credit card with a 12k limit

    1. RCbutcher

      RCbutcher

      Should have said £40 is a deal then cut any cards you get. 

  14. ugh, iOS 10 bricked my phone...

     

    grumpy now

      Running IOS 10 on my iPad and it seems OK so far. One thing to think about if not updating is you also don't get the latest security patches.

    3. turok007

      turok007

      never had issues with security  the only issues i have had are not being able to download some of the latest apps

      No idea, don't care tbh, 7 plus preordered :) 

  15. Just gave the new improved lowered e badger...

     

    handling has improved massively and it no longer seems to cog! 

     

    Just need to to find some different spur gears and sort out the angle of the wheels and we can see how fast it goes!

    1. Tug

      Tug

      Faster than Harveys'? :lol:

    2. Madmini

      Madmini

      That would be ideal but I don't think so. Not without a gearing change 

  16. Having a number of broken cars and no time or money to fix any of them

      Let's just hope it's got enough ground clearance lol

       

      its somewhere between 10 and 15mm 

       

      still to to do for that is get a different spur or 2 and some proper front tires

      If you ain't desperate to get one I would wait for the 1005 to be released 

    4. Madmini

      Madmini

      not desperate, but am growing increasingly fedup with the rubbish performance of the stock losi servo. dont want to spend money on an interim servo when i know that the 1000 or now 1005 will mean i am sorted.

       

      (this is all your fault .AJ.) having seen yours in your dbxl and now your five i kinda have to have one.

  23. Got a lot of stuff packed ready for the big house move and about 1/2 the stuff loaded on the truck today before they left. 

     

    Chuffin in knackered now and need to take the kids out for some tea soon as there is literally no food In the house at all

      yes work related. find a critical issue that means we could lose our pci compliance and get a ear full for raising it... next time i should keep my mouth shut, we can lose our pci certificate and stop being able to handle credit card information.

       

      /grumpy

    3. Carpmart

      Carpmart

      PCI/Security related?  You should always whistle blow!  Wait for audit to pick it up... :)

      Whistle blowers get stomped and made an example of so all the wanna bes pipe down.
