  1. Hmmm there maybe a possibility of a Super Lasernut that's based on the new 8ight RTR. Apparently Tower hobbies has posted a couple of parts that cross over to a Super Lasernut.

     

     

    I've had a look and it looks like they've adjusted it. A super Lasernut does pique my interest though.

      IMHO the Lasernut just looks sooo good!
       

      I’ve thought about getting one several times but always managed to  stop myself, after re-watching video of people spending a small fortune to make them reliable.

       

      Maybe one based on an 1/8 buggy platform would finally hook me, haha!

  2. These guys bring up a good point considering how many F1 drivers are or have been involved in RC it would be nice to see them supporting RC tracks. Such a shame some really iconic and important track are being forced to close ☹️

      Yeh its getting folks to them is problem as stated above

      While I don't disagree that lack of users and membership/race fees is a factor, I think it's more the landlords and land owners are either being offered large sums of money for the land by developers or being pressured by developers or maybe even the government or councils to sell the land. 

    4. Stormbringer

      possibly a combination of both 😞

  3. I may have bought home a baby Diamond Python Tuesday 🙄  I'll post some pics probably in a week or two after he's settled in :good:

      To be fair it wasn't my fault, the staff in the shop made me do it 🤔🤣 They even let me hold their 6 year  old one to show me what he'll be like when he's older 😅

      yeah...they just sneaked it into your pocketwhile you weren;t looking, then swiped your credit card to cover their tracks.

       

      It's an age old trick, and I am amazed you fell for it 🤣

  4. Booked mum and the Navara in for an off road pay and play day. Could be interesting as it's completely standard with road tyres and doesn't have the optional locking diff fitted 😅 

     

    Looking forward to it though.

  6. Has anyone or know anyone that has got their Losi promoto yet? I didn't pre order one and ended up getting another reptile instead but I don't think anyone's got their pre order yet.

      I pre-ordered from Wheelspin, not heard anything since putting the order in..

      Honestly if we see them in the UK before 2024 I'll be amazed..!!

      Just seen the update Losi has posted on their Facebook page, let's just say I think if I pre ordered one I'd be cancelling it.

      We have a little bit of hope now. Modelsport has updated the listing saying expected 14th October

  7. The Victory Show is on this weekend, highly recommend if you can go you won't be disappointed. The range of aircraft this year is amazing. Just looked out the back door and saw the Dakota drop the parachutes for practice over the weekend which was pretty cool.

  8. Large Scale Off Road European Championship Live. Have to admit I miss racing Large scale.

      Wouldn't mind a crack at that, but there's never the time. 

  9. Anyone else sense the Traxxas lawyers rubbing their hands together 🤣

     

     

    I actually could be quite tempted tbh. As much as I want the promoto I think it could be a long time before we see them over here, or at least see a second batch.

      @supersavage

       

      If I was a Traxxas lawyer, I'd be keeping extremely quite about the suspension, especially on their UDR as they didn't develop it, and ripped it off of someone else - Traxxas weren't the first to use that suspension setup on an RC and it's pretty much the standard for any 4wd vehicle that competes in the Paris to Dakar Rally.  But it's America, a country that will allow a relatively new mobile phone manufacturer to sue an older mobile phone manufacturer for having rounded corners instead of hard edges, even though the rounded corner design and radius of the corners on mobile phones predates both Apple and Samsung's entry into the mobile phone market by over a decade - it long predates both of these company's first prototypes for their first mobiles.  And allow a new start up company to sue to steal the name of an old well established and successful advertising company that's been around since the 60/70's.

    3. supersavage

      That doesn't stop them, Remember the Arrma nero I think it was.

      @supersavage

       

      True, there's a very good reason why lawyers are referred to as ''Blood Suckers'' no matter where you are in the world.  They'll happily take on and charge you for their services, even when they are well aware that there is no hope in hell of them winning, as it's not their money on the line, and they get paid either way, even if the court case is thrown out of court/dismissed with prejudice - no ability to appeal the judges decision.

  10. I've never been a fan of RC motorcycles but if this thing works as well as it does in the promo video I know what I might be getting. It also looks like Pro Line are doing supermoto tyres for it as well.

      Hope it does because at £719, i couldn’t afford it and even if i did, i could think of other things that would benefit from that much £

       

      closer to the £500 mark would be about doable…. Still a fair old chunk though at that.

    3. tanveer

      tanveer

      Id have one at £500 

    4. supersavage

      Now has been adjusted to £579.99 and 629.99. still a little high but much more reasonable.

      The superforza is a nice idea. I would ask myself , do i want on road or off road, and do i have a decent place to run a nice rig

    3. supersavage

      supersavage

      The Superforza does interest me I must admit however while overpriced I know how well the Arrmas drive. I have places for both on and off road so that isn't an issue, though off road wise the local park has to be the worlds most flat and boring park 🤣 The only problem is the park has a tendency of being absolutely covered in dog mess.  

    4. supersavage

      Think I've narrowed it down to a Felony, Notorious, Typhon (TLR tuned one maybe 🤔 ), Wide Maxx or the Hobao VSe pro buggy roller/kit thing. Realistically it'll be a good month or so before I can get one of these but for the moment I am leaning towards the Arrmas or the Hobao.

  12. So I may have got another snake, a Bredls Python or Centralian Carpet Python that I'll hopefully be picking up next Saturday. I'm a bit nervous about this one as it's considered a step up from what I have and it could potentially grow up to 9ft if it's female (it's still a bit too young to know for sure whether it's male or female) though it's rare for them to get that big. I've done as much research as my brain can hold on them and they seem to pretty docile when they get older, there are exceptions but for Carpet Pythons for the most part they are pretty laid back and easy going though being Australian it'll have a crazy food response. Thay can be a bit nippy when they're small but this one seems fairly tame as it's been handled regularly in the shop. But I can't wait 😁 I'll post pics in the show us your pets thread when I've got it settled in :good:

      Yep. I hadn't intended to get this many but I've been enjoying doing the research for various ones and honestly if it wasn't for having a reptile shop near me that will continue to support new and old keepers alike with advice etc. I don't think I'd have gotten into it like I have. Though this will probably be the last one as I'm running out room for them 🤣 Plus I don't want to fall into the hording trap which is alarming easy to do.

      hehe awesome bud, dad and i are well aware of the hoarding trap, we used to have the house filled with fish tanks with american cichlids and cat fish 🙂

  13. Anyone else hear the sonic boom from the Typhoons that were redirected to intercept an aircraft with communication problems yesterday? We thought it was an explosion from a nearby industrial estate or something like a tanker exploded on the M1.

      Here in North Northamptonshire/South Leicestershire it shook our windows, thought my boss had blown himself up in the workshop nextdoor.

  14. New TLR tuned LMT  looks good but I bet its got a hefty price tag attached to to it.

      Yeah they do all that mini monster jam stuff over there but I can't say I've ever seen much interest in it over here. We still like our monster trucks to be able to go round corners at speed even if they do topple over :topbanana:

  17. Trying to tame down my little spotted python is going to be an interesting journey I think. Discovered she has a really high food drive (unlike my Hognose 🙃) and that she thinks the ends of my fingers are more or less the same size as the pinky mice she's currently eating 😅 Got nibbled on 😂

      I wasn't trying to feed her just had to redo her enclosure and had to get her out but she had other plans 😂 After I feed her Tuesday she might calm down a bit. They can be a bit bitey when they're young but if you work with them and show them you're no threat to them they'll be a great handleable snake. 

       

      Unfortunately no luck with my Hoggy yet, even the reptile shop is having difficulty with him so they're going to try him on some tuna. Knowing my luck I've probably got a Hoggy that has really expensive taste 😂

      If i were getting another snake i would get a north american bull/pine snake, they are ace with the kinda "frown" expression and they get a good size but not huge

    3. supersavage

      In regards of the fancy morph stuff it isn't necessarily true that they have health issues but it does seem to vary from species to species and probably more so of hybrid variants.

      i would love a snake but would be scared of the cats getting to it or the the wee guy escaping, my sister used to have 2 corn snakes male and female and they were very interesting pets 🙂

       

      your wee guy is cute, hope he starts eating soon 🙂

  20. Anyone going to the scale nationals next weekend? Hoping to get there Sunday with my TRX4 and my brother will be putting his Knightrunner through its paces. Just hope that they both last as the last time I went my TRX4 took a beating.

      The only scale truck I'd be interested in, in any of its forms. Go big, or go home. 

  22. The Victory show looks like it's going all out this weekend. Think Bruce and his team from Combat Dealers are taking a few vehicles and I think they even have the Red Arrows scheduled for Sunday along with all sorts of other planes and vehicles. I'm not going to get there this year but I can highly recommend going if you have the chance. https://www.thevictoryshow.co.uk/

      The warbirds are arriving, 3 just flew over head in formation.

  23. I think I've pretty much had it with RC, or at least I won't be getting anymore and the LMT might possibly be up for sale again just without a servo. Sucks as I really enjoy driving the LMT but the combination of having no luck and on the verge of being on RC burn out for while I just can't be bothered anymore. Going to keep the TRX4 though as unless I completely submerge it in water it requires little to no maintenance other than yearly strip down and is always ready to go when I want to take it out.

      I’ve several built because I enjoyed the build, I suppose there shelf queens? Agree with your TRX-4 comments though 👍

    3. supersavage

      supersavage

      I love the LMT but killing servos is getting old real quick. The axles on the other hand are perfectly fine and show no signs of failing anytime soon.

       

      I am however eying up the Infraction/Felony as I really regret selling mine but I'll wait and see if they might release a new one or at least a new variant of them.

       

      Though that depends on if I get into the reptile hobby which is why I can't really be bothered with RC anymore. Just waiting to hear from a reptile shop to get what I want in so I can go and have a look at it.
