  1. Quite fancy a nitro savage, I remember listing my mint 3.5 years ago for about £120 & couldn’t sell it! They seem to be mental prices for old cr4p! & as for new- well Jesus wtf happened to these prices!!£530 for a savage x 4.6!

      i bought a savage for £60, spent about £60 making it mint and sold it bidding on ebay expecting £150 and it went for nearly £300, it was a x4.6, but not the newer ones with the square body.  that was last summer! crazy.

  2. Just thought I'd share my result from ROSSA Speed Championships UK Round 1 ~ My Typhon shattered it's spur gear on the first pass so instead of wasting a lot of time on that I purely concentrated on my Limitless. Glad I did as I just got faster and faster all weekend. 
    New PB of 150mph odd. :topbanana:
     

  3. MT410 is on offer, $369 in the US, or £375 in the UK from RPRC but out of stock 😞

      I'm tempted to buy another and an sct410.3 as well. All the rc car prices are going up through the roof and I can't see them getting any cheaper soon 😕

  12. New Ebay payment confusion. Help Please.

     

    I was informed by Ebay recently that they are stopping using PayPal as a means of receiving payment if you sell on there. They said this would mean they would be dealing with all transactions themselves and I pay a one off payment per transaction, which "most sellers will pay the same or less than before". I've just sold an RC for £120 with free delivery.  Ebay have taken £15.66 for their fees. Now correct me if I'm wrong but that seems a bit excessive to me. If the payment had gone through PayPal then their fee would have been £3.78 on the £120, and I'm sure Ebay wouldn't have taken another £11.88 for their fees.  Am i missing something or are they blatantly ripping me off.  I knew where I was with PayPal and the money was instantly in my account as soon as the buyer paid. Now it seems I have to wait a few days. I'm not happy about this. Why oh why do companies have to change a well tried and tested successful way of doing business. OK rant over. Any advice would be welcome. Yes I know. "Stop selling on Ebay"  hahaha 😂😂😂

      I dont use ebay now. they allow scammers to buy your item, say something is wrong with it, never send it back, then get a refund as well. As they always side with the buyer.  Then on top of that they still kept there fees as well!

  15. The MT410 combo deal on RPRC is awfully tempting 🤤🙄

    1. Jumper

      Jumper

      ITs all personal preference at the end of the day. I just didn't want you to spend more than you needed to.

       

      The servo in the bundle is probably great, but I'm not sure if youed be able to tell the difference between a £100 servo and a £50 servo on the mt410 unless you make it super heavy. Also even though the rrp on the motor is quite a lot, I don't think that motor will be worth the extra over a cheaper motor.

  16. The MT410 combo deal on RPRC is awfully tempting 🤤🙄

    1. Jumper

      Depends on the gearing, 4/6s battery and wheels and tyre combination. 

       

      If you are going to run badland 3.8 or backflip lp with the smallest pinion a 2200kv should be fine on 4 and 6s, if you want a 18t pinion and run trenches or mx38 on 6s then you might want to run lower kV like 1700kv I guess. 

       

      I think if you plan to keep a stockish a 4s lighter setup is the way to go.

       

      Mine has most of the m2c parts inc chassis, so its pretty heavy, so I run 4082 1720kv.

       

      Razor rc is running 2400kv motor and ESC from the arrma 4s in his seems to go well with that.
