      With the above comment of rifles in mind, i can see some sort of licence comming in soon for flying these things.

      Dji already has pre-programed quads that avoid any obvious no fly zones such as airports etc, that is the way forward imo, anybody can still buy a air riffle in a gun shop without a licence, you only need a licence for fac power riffles and shot guns, you only have to be over 16yrs age to buy a riffle, the techonolgy is there already and should on all new quads.

      ^^^^^Air rifles are only permitted on a range or with a permission.But then whats the point,with max power at 12fp they are glorified pop guns.

  5. im really wanting a new scaler for christmas, the new gelande 2 110, or a cross rc mc4 or mc6

      Awesome :) cheers guys, just a pitty they dont have that sound system in stock for it, seems to sound pretty good for the price, there was a army man 6x6 parked in the centre of southport few weeks ago, army lads were recruiting new lads, i was looking around it with my jaw on the floor, thought gota get me a rc one of these :)

      E-Mail them dude, they often have stuff in or can give you an ETA, like I said, very very good customer service experience here, very quick replies and all spelled properly too, unlike the usual 'hi friend...' etc... LOL.

      They look good i think and theres not enough choice in the scaler section really. axial or rc4wd.

      Who else would do well to bring out an scx style rc. i cant imagine a traxxas one but ide like to see it attempted.

  7. just had my new quattro x out :) first time ive flown a quad, good fun, gps hold was exellent but return home not so much

      Trouble is now you've collected you will have a hard time proving that the damage didn't happen after and they will just play dumb. Hopefully if there's been a few complaints about that garage something will be done.

      I won't use main dealers for anything, local body shop does far better work at a fraction of the price..eh, full bonnet respray on my e46,

      My best mate has his own body repair place, but this was a warranty claim so had to be done at honda, im kinda wishing i had just paid for it to be done, i want to see this pre inspection report now savagejoe said about, its obvious its been done in there, nobody walks past my car and spills thinners on it, nor do people go around putting overspray in the side skirt, its never had any body work done before, its all original or at least it was, the scratches on the door are inline direct with...
