Super ty

I'm guessing Hobao prices have been inflated to shift people towards their (overpriced IMO) VS2. 

£510 with a 100a ESC, let's hope the price translates into quality, durability and handling prowess, otherwise it's going to be difficult to justify. 

£260 for the roller on ebay atm? with the fall20 code link

@capri-boy do a buy^

Oww Tamiya capri? sorry to hear about your work staff bro

will you build it at some point or is it just to look at.

Staff are ok atm, just typical we've avoided it completely, 1st day back of new term and boom.  Not any tamiya 😉  Cell pics later, proper ones at some point soon.

Service it yourself next time 🙂

They probably took your old spark plugs out and put it in the next car they said needed new spark plugs. Or maybe, didnt even change them at all.

I mean was in running rough at all? Anyway warning codes?

Nope, condition based servicing says inspection and oil change.  Service schedule says park plugs as part of every other oil change.  Live and learn, I keep saying now I work close by and don't have young children that I'll just buy beaters that I'll work on myself / scap when necessary... but then never do.  Maybe another year on this one then will see again.

Yeah I was thinking with such a new car you'd wanna retain the service history. Don't those newer three pots run a healthy amount of boost to compensate for lack of displacement?

My brother has one as an instructor car (not the BMW), it's a right hoot to drive can't tell it's a 1.0l the way it delivers such a torquey power band. 

He was a proper spammer as well, not seen one like that for years. Deleted him, good work @capri-boy catching him early.

Hurts when you miss a good opportunity

Was that on here or eBay @capri-boy ? 

I went to buy something on here the other day, ...said I was interested in the thread and followed that up with a PM only to be told I missed out as had sold to someone else. Frustrating because nobody else had posted any interest in the FS thread and imho that's the way it should be done to stop multiple people PMing the seller about the same item or wasting peoples time. 

It's always limited sellers these days, bloody daft really, unless the shops are paying to be on the list or something, there's got to be some profit in it for those money grabbing tw@s at eBay.

Where did you see that ? That’s incredible 🙌

some muppet claim on fb.....  I've screen shot it for the laugh.

Tell him to bring it to the ROSSA speed championships in August and he can run it through the traps for a confirmed speed. 😀

nice capri i had a muddyfox full susser last year bit heavier than usual but solid frames it got abused on the jumps and lasted hehe

The spec on it looks great for the £... Frame is where they've scrimped. Conversely with my hybrid I sank as much as I could into the frame and saved on the rest.

true capri am quite light so a heavy frame suits my riding and jumps think mine was a alloy frame ended up twisting the bottom bracket hah good times

Unfortunately not me... Working and kids 😬😬

Where is it held? 

Just outside Crich, Derbyshire

like the kit ideal as I don't rate traxxas elecys much wouldn't  mind a 4x4 pede to bash hmmm

The Stampede looks like reasonable value. That said, my used stampede was mint with two shells, box and everything for just over £200.

They've now patented the word "patent", so they can now tweak its meaning to their own ends. True fact. ?

Free listing gets charged 35p for auto relist? Sneaky as always. 

Yh - something like 20 FREE listings as month as standard, but there's always an offer for 100 a day etc etc (varies) - these extra ones get used BEFORE your stock 20 - and these extra ones don't allow you to end after 7, 30 days etc - always good till cancelled.  Good till cancelled actually means 30 days then a chargeable relist...

Dittom chenghai toys

Wow. Feel bad for both of you but sort of more for her, ...poor woman. Should of been a great day for her getting a new car and she's already dinged it. Hope you get the house sorted easily. ?

A gentleman would have got it out for her! 

And, who in their right mind would have trusted a woman that close to his house?

Tbf her fella parked it after the test drive

@BashingBrian 

It looks like a crowd pleaser 2 body to me a newer version even. Nut why only arrma? 

The outcast body is cool enough tbh i defo wouldn't swap it for this. But why cant arrmas use the bodies already on offer. 

Surly proline would give traxxas the finger if they asked anything. Didnt traxxas try to sue proline too over water proof rx box. So proline just didn't bother with one. 

totally agree Capri I believe its down to the community too to share these people who ruin our hobby one of the reason I stopped fly last year was the amount of public who tried lecturing me with rules they didn't know even moaned about a spotter with my mate sat next to me while I flew fatsharks jeez seen it all the worst is when they watch you come in to land on the matt and walk right out in front of you mental !!

This is the point though.

Laws already existed to cover the things capri-boy is talking about. The Gatwick Incident was a clear example of those rules being ignored deliberately, and the result is tighter laws....why?

The existing laws covered the hazards, and instead of the focus on being WHY the laws were not enforced and how that should be done, it has rapidly switched to increased restrictions on the personal freedoms of EVERYONE in order to do what exactly? How would things be different if I went and bought a quad off E-bay and headed for Gatwick to fly it over the runway. All that is changed is that there are now additional places further away from the airports that I cannot fly in where I could perfectly safely have flown before.

The press standard these days is for rabid scaremongering. Just look at the Brexit coverage....Apparantly we will have no hospitals, terrorists behind every tree, plus massive food queues...and assorted other disasters. They don't say why, how, or how simply these things can be resolved because that doesn't get views/readers/retweets..or whatever else they need to boost advertising revenue.

If these flying toys are so dangerous....why are they sold.....

Mind you...the same could be asked of cigarettes...

The truth is, thousands of people have these things and use them for harmless fun. The mass panic caused by one little quad has caused such a froth and fury that anyone looking to disrupt an airport and get headlines now knows EXACTLY what htey have to do....and it's so easy and apparantly untraceable....

exactly Nitro bro I got to admit when I heard about the whole airport thing id already read there were selling shares off lol now there saying it could be an exemployer as they knew where all the cctv were so avoided the plice for so long but like you said goes to prove how much damage this drones can cause end of the day yeah there hobby toys can can be lethal in the wrong hands like any other hobby

Wasn't cheap tbh- about right bar we split the postage.  

You are just an addict what truggy is it? How many do you have now?

SSTe.  I always have one less than the ideal number!  However I know roughly when i'm hoarding again when I run out of room on the racks.

I've helped people out in the past and had no thanks. I think some people are just entitled and ungrateful.

It's a shame really as I'm less inclined to bend over backwards for people now (unless they are friends).

That was my new years res last year. Stop being walked over trying to be nice but being taken for a Klunk. 

I get what you mean too moron buyers get ripped one way then expect others to make it up. Been there. 

I'm waiting on the "it don't work" story next - something along the lines of i've not used it more than once, esc has gone pop etc. Then to see the pics of an abused and battered RC with damaged lipos.  

That's my thought - not to post pics of things that look stolen - but for owners to post pics of things that have been - or lost in the post etc.  

ie Fred posts a pic of his YXL that he posted to a buyer.  Buyer never received it, myherpes lost it during delivery.  

Barry see's a yxl for sale locally - he's seen Fred's in the stolen thread and reports the seller to his local police.  

All we'd be doing here is allowing people a place to post images of items they've had stolen, strict rules about the thread -  inc no comments at all.  Should someone maliciously claim they'd had something stolen then I;m sure the liability ends with them - freedom of speech etc.

The difficulty is proof of course - both in positive ID and that said toe rag might not have nicked an item, but if it IS the RC in question then the police recover it to the legitimate owner - the toe rag who bought a stolen RC loses out - but he has the chance to point the police to the person he acquired it from if he's totally legitimate himself.  

I can't see it being any more useful than people doing what they do now which is post some pictures and info up if they are unlucky enough to have something pinched or lost in transit somewhere.

As per my original reply, it would still become more open to people trying to pull the wool over and/or owners getting there cars back and thinking they are the thieves.

Probably best left the way it is.

Wait for proof of being stolen i say. 

I RC way above my means too.
