  1. There is a group of us that go Jubilee Park (NNW of your spot) on sunday mornings from 10am. The group is almost all 1/5th petrol, there are some that bring other things, which are welcome, but unless you're brave, I would avoid the races as contact is unavoidable. Let me know if you want to come and I will pm you my number.
  2. my name is tom but i know the man of which you speak if you keep the engine running you cant hear the complaint
  3. heya bud, i was just joining the nlb back then. There are a few groups. One predominantly petrol and the other nitro/electric. Ppl are welcome in both but it all seems to be happening on whatsapp... jubilee and oakhill park seem to be the spots for petrol. i am sure the person who just whatsapped you will fill you in on his fav spots...
  4. Ain't been on the forum for ages, but it seems nothing has changed!
  5. Boloney, Apparently it sounded like I was addressing Laz in this post so I have edited it such that your name appears first. The problem seems to have stemmed from me attempting to be grammatically correct and not putting a comma before the word 'and' in the preceding paragraph. I hope this has clarified matters. Laz, I and a bunch of others run in ne London, you should come out with us. We do get hassled sometimes and I have been kicked out of Epping twice. Our group have been over and over the various issues and byelaws, some places are OK, some are not. Essentially, as others have said (I skimmed the thread, sorry not going to read all of it) if you're polite and the cops or park rangers don't recognise you you'll be OK. If you're impolite or ignore them you'll end up with a fine or in court. What ever byelaws are in existence and how they relate to your actions is left to interpretation so they will get you for something. Its like this so the police and people with their powers can make on the spot decisions, based on all of the varying parameters at play, like if there's kids and dogs loose its a different ball game than if the place you're running is empty, but the legislators aren't going to write all of that in to acts of Parliament. It also let's the courts have the final say and update the law (by way of president). Sorry for rambling. Bottom line don't use your RC if you get told not to and don't be an arse about it. If you don't want to give your details say you don't have any I'd and give fake details. They will remember your face though...
  6. Does anyone have a Rival? I'm interested to know what the differences are regarding the knuckles and axles.
  7. No probs. Yeah, mta4's fly quite nicely. I have just converted one to brushless. The car on stilts is barnetbasher's. Unfortunately, he had been banned from MSUK! Its a kyosho twinforce with losi LST shocks, amongst many other mods. If you mean the Baja jumping into someone, that was me! Oops! The guy I drove in to has not been heard from since. I forgot to comment regarding cutting the pipe and silicone hose... I did this with a Dom and spent about
  8. i should apologise for the dust on there, looks worse in the pics i promise! the nylon you see below the mount is to prevent the chassis being marred/cut but the washer. the ply is mounted to an old swivvly chair base with 16mm (i think) ally angle, works a treat but always spins away... no, no, no, nooooooo, come back! lol
  9. no probs, here yo go: it is a bit more bent than it should be, mainly from the tree incident, although i think a few spills, even with the 5t roof bit on, have bent it in again. not to say its flexible, nor is your head guaranteed to survive, but i have bent t back and forth a few times. defo do this: if you're looking for all out speed, this seems to be the one to me (low cost, good performance) but for me, its useless living in london with fairly closed spaces. the engine just revs up and either breaks loose or i go far too fast for the space. here is a bunch of vids, the first one my best jump cos' it was balls in mouth fun! mine is the baja with blue beadlocks in the rest of the vids, a km 002a i think (with about a grand spent on it) and the red one is the same with a twirly rear pipe which i am considering buying for all round performance( not the dom), the gray one is lakies which had a obr full mod and vrc (great combo) Edit: actually i have had too many beers! i dont think those vids have my clone vrc pipe in, its the dom. the jump does but the rest are dommey! if you want running vids i'll see if i can get some posted...
  10. What I did Gary was get the dtock upper front brace and cut one of the legs off and bent it. Works well! I'll get some pickys if you want? Pretty much any right angle that's tall enough will work... The mounts strength is a toss up between you chassis and the pipe/head. I went with sacrificing the pipe/head vs chassis as I just bought a kraken and have a stock km engine. That said, I went sideways at full pelt into a tree, the mount and pipe bent but the head was fine!
  11. Hopefully you'll get around to it soon! I have no idea what kV, gears or no. of cells to go for. I was just going to guess, chuck it all in there and hope for the best! Probably not the best plan of attack but its all I got right now...
  12. Hey Jari, Check out the other forum hopefully be ready soon.... Having trouble getting hold of a leopard 4092 but I may go with a tp power 4070 instead. Have you done your conversion yet?
  13. Jordan, I just found the instruction manual for the rc8 and you are quite right sir! An oring and a washer. Trouble is, I don't have the right size washer.. Bummer...
