  1. Is this goodrington way? dint know the P&P was no longer in usem I mentioned a spot near the one i recently posted for the smooth surface cars as its a large tarmac carpark in the estate itself (best used at weekends and evenings/very early mornings)
  2. Im seriously thinking of gettiing a second xs myself but in kit form this time around - sounds like this dark damp corner of the forum is gonna see some fresh light soon
  3. Thats a cute puppy, but the ball next to it looks scary as hell I like the big yellow monster truck in the background too
  4. Seeing a beach bash posted in another thread recently reminded me to point out that Torbay has a good number of beaches suitable for RC use, plus if you want to do stupidly high jumps, theres always Berry Head
  5. Im new to all things Leccy RC too and I got this charger too - very easy to use for a newbie, although a little pricey at nr
  6. Sorry for delay in posting this, been away for the weekend - picture as promised Google Maps https://maps.google.co.uk/?ll=50.485446,-3.564999&spn=0.000014,0.009645&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=50.485504,-3.564887&panoid=KL-q0qzgLIe1BClJzTboLw&cbp=12,134.17,,0,10.81
  7. what benefit should I get by removal of slop?
  8. Spotted another bash spot, is essentially rough ground with short scrubby field grass n weeds with larger tufts and general roughness, right by a number of main roads (just by Scotts bridge, at entrance to edgonswell business park. I don't see issue with nitro either. Parking for cars nearby (probably easier during weekends) I'll post a pic sometime when im not mobile.
  9. so its short course wheels on a 'buggy' - thats not at all confusing I did note the short course looking wheel measurements on the M$ site (in the parts list for the model) but wanted to shop around for other wheels that might fit the kit
  10. ok, cheers for that - I have several leatherman tool type multi tools which ive already used on the savage xs Im assuming the body panels are not painted and that theyre lexan/polycarbonate as per usual for rc models ? BTW - what wheels fit the buggy, ie 12mm hex 17mm etc etc etc
  11. Ive been eyeing up this buggy kit for a while now, i just like the look of it. SO although it comes as a rtr, i like the idea of building from a kit to learn exactly how it all goes together and works (or doesnt ) Simple question that ive yet to find an answer for, what EXACTLY does a person need to build this kit ie tools etc Im assuming regular screwdrivers (flat head and philips) and hex keys (preferably hardened) but what size(s). Also, does it require threadlock? etc etc Dumb question i know, but ive never built a kit before so i dont want to fall at first hurdle by not having appropriate tools Cheers in advance
  12. I was going to go for a one colour job but i felt adventerous Im thinking of doing a camero bodyshell next which will be largely single coloures, maybe a bit of trim detailing etc but not much, now seems a good time to get ne since stock seems to be in... ive gotten a shell spraying bug now enough of painting, heres a question, the wheels, all of them on my savage xs seem a bit sloppy, ive tracked the probelm down to the axels and or hex hubs, the wheels themselves are secure enough as ive tested different wheels and even ones that dont need additional shims. Any suggestions or is this a quirk ive to live with? the parts mentioned are stock btw
  13. Holy crud - im new to RC's but this thread is really interesting - im sure its almost classed as RC Prawn Looking forward to seeing the final product which will be a testament to a labour of love Well done
  14. My new xs GT bodyshell arrived from M$ the other day so I finally got to spray it etc, I know it aint perfect by a long shot, but i dont think its too bad given its the first time ive ever dealt with a RC Bodyshell... Thoughts appreciated (nice ones please )
