HYPER-BOY

WB Hyper bro 👍

Howdy 👋

welcome back 🙂

hey HB, nice to see you. have you still got your cobra?

No, only have a Kyosho DRX VE rally car from back in the day...

Welcome back!

Ian...

Welcome back mate  

^^^

yo hyper, good to see you again mate  

Nah, it's been all quiet here... why do you ask?

A lot of people moaning !!. 

@big gaz Yeah, I know that may be a bit selfish but I had been committing to the forum, it is the only one I am on actively. I have just taken out a gold membership to support this place, and now I no longer feel like supporting it as much.

i used to do alot of agency work many years ago....like 25+ odd years ago.......sumwere good..sumwere crap......

I too did agency work around 14 years back ....ended up in many courier warehouses!!

Bottom line is, your a means to an end for them, you miss a day for any reason....no job tomorrow....

They are a scam they tell you work hard and after a year you can apply with the acfual factory. But 11months in they lay you off anyway. I was let go then my mates told me a van full of fresh recruits replaced me and others. 

So we didn't get full time jobs cutting ther placements. 

Employers pay the agency alot more than their staff but aren't liable to agency staff so save loads in the long run. 

Wasnt it the other year Tories vowed to get more in work. So they took a mans full time job and gave it to two agency staff to share. Gave both working tax ctedits and told the public they came good on the vow to lower job seekers. Without saying they doubled working tax credits. 

Its all a scam my first agency took me on at 15. They lied on my behalf to the warehouse. But soon got rid of me once they could. About 8wks after. 

Bout time you got back in the saddle with RC! 

I know! - been tooooo long

890 out of 1000 across all 3 companies.  Enough to get a £27 a month contract!

That's crazy!

I know even at like 500 you can be rejected, but that's a really high score if that's Experian.

That's the one most contract companies use to see, so whatever it is on there, is what they will use to judge how you pay back etc...

my wife had the same problem she had a high score, but got regected she then went full time at work and was earning over £1600 a month for 6 months and got a contract straight away she also got a 6k loan, part time was under a grand 

It's not that I have gone off it, I love the acquiring and building of them, but then don't have time or anyone to go out with to run them.  I'm selling up a load of stuff to make space, but keeping a core of RC so always got something on the go.

A man with many hobbies is a happy man!  A man with many hobbies and a happy wife, well he's even happier!  Amazing effects can be achieved with a spa day lads!  

@Carpmart I'm beginning to see this! - we're off to London this weekend for a stay and a Spa, suddenly doing what I want to do isn't so much of an issue no more!

Fund raiser for new bmw's and range rovers. 

Good to see the local constabulary concentrating their supposedly meagre resources where its really needed...

Does this constitute a sales advert?  

Naughty boy

Nope! - just saying there will be one! lol

do it dude....

Only regrets if you don't.  

Good Frog thanks, just busy! - Deafty - 7 is the general !

Has indeed been a while, keeping well?

Seriously though, golf, wtf? 

Yeah all good ta.  Yep Golf, I think it's the challenge of wanting to get good at something I'm rubbish at

No pics and is it roller or rtr. ill guess 130-250 depending on spec condition ect ect. 

I think in general people will go to the 3.0 now even thats getting on abit. 3yrs mayb when i done my 2.0 getting gen 3 stuff for it. 

got any pics mate?

wanna sell it lol

Probs will sell lol.. frog will get some pics

Isn't that always the way lol, I'd quite like to find something else but theirs sod all interesting for sale at the moment  

Tamiya 94 Monte Carlo Mini Cooper or just a small project?  

LOL - yeah small, not the actual car

I was starting to get tempted to find something but now want a workshop more than anything but being poor it might only be a tin one. 10x17ft is hopefully big enough. 

hpi wr8? Have they redone it. 

thats got to be one of the cheapest you have spent on an rc HB 

Nice looking that is AJ! - Frog I know yeah, I might just add some more and get a 1/8 truggy kit.

I had this problem the other day, couldn't find anything even with a £550 budget, nothing that really made me immediately part with reddies anyway, quite disappointing.

It's the time of year...

been thinking to myself, why this hasnt sold yet.

one year i did some christmas shopping christmas morning.

Good luck

same. plenty time yet 

Look, it's like I've always said, fat girls say thank you!

or as a friend of mine once said, their more  grateful and the chances of getting a more intimate experience are greatly increased.

Lisa Riley in Anne summers santa outfit!!

merry Xmas!!

the buggy looks so much better then the 5 imo.....I hate the sc look in any scale....

They are very nice, a little more compact than the T.

Losi's own pipe for it is a rather small affair though.....

The local largescale lads round my way seem to have all tried the conversions recently, and all going back / selling up and buying MCD's instead.

AJ and I got let down by Jason not ordering them in, even though he'd held our money for months... neither of us have bothered since, so to the best of my knowledge, they are a rare beast in the UK...

Quite a few have had issues with the rear axles, the bearings are destroying the insides of the housings it seems, it was reported by Kraken in the very early developement of the Vekta and they said by release it was fixed, but clearly, it's still an issue.

Don't own one and never would so I can't really comment, they seem to jump okay, but they just look odd and awkward to me.
