    Looking for abit of advice. I do Airsoft and now have an RC car. For my Airsoft stuffI have a standard charger for my lipo. It doesn't balance, just a big standard charger but I am looking for spend around £40-50 for a charger which can do my airsoft stuff and my RC batteries. 

     

    I would need something which can balance both Li-Ion and LiPo 

     

    Any recommendations?

    Should be plenty of options that meet your criteria

    What did you do to your model today?

    Finished the strip, clean and rebuild of my truggy. Had a good look for broken parts and was surprised to only find a couple of minor issues, which I’ll either ignore for now or had spares for already; happy days 😀

     

    Also lengthened and rerouted the esc switch to keep the wires clear of the drivetrain.

    Losi mini t replacement

    The LC Racing EMB-T might be another decent option. Looks like there is one up in the for sale section at a pretty good price.

     

     

    The EMB-T is a bit bigger than the Mini T, so the EMB buggy might be a better fit if you want to keep thing on the smaller side.

    That looks nice; it’s a bit larger than I was looking for but that may actually be a good thing then I’d get a smaller buggy for me & the kids to play with. Tempted by that; thanks for pointing it out 👍

    Hi All,

     

    I have a Losi Mini T which is fun but too difficult to get parts for now. I have a wanted up, but don’t hold out much hope.

     

    What mini Truggy would be recommended for general running around the garden / bashing / jumping etc? I’d prioritise something with good spares / hop up supplies.

     

    Cheers, Mike

     

    Can this LiPo be saved?

    If there's no markings, you might wanna peel the end of the pack open to allow you to trace the balance leads. 


    Right; peeled open the end and it’s obvious now why the order is important! All soldered back up now and the cells are reading ok. Just need a little duct tape to neaten it up and it should be usable again.

     

    Thanks all.

    Where to buy LiPo’s?

    What lipo are you wanting?, you could try Aliexpress also Banggood are shipping to UK and fairly quick and people seem to get decent deals on Amazon

    Cheers I’ll take a look. Turnigy Graphene 5000; they fit the battery tray perfectly, although that’s just what I’ve had before so no real loyalty.

    Where to buy LiPo’s?

    in General - Electric

    Posted

    Hi All, I haven’t done anything RC related for ages, but after pulling my ET48 out of storage, I need a new 4s LiPo. I’ve always used HobbyKing for them before but they only seem to ship here from the global store, which is £40+ shipping costs. 
     

    Where is best for picking up LiPos from now? The ones I want are £60 a pop anyways, so I can’t afford £40 shipping on top.

     

    cheers,

    Hi All,

     

    Looking to sell my Vaterra Ascender, which I bought as a kit and never really finished building it. Ran round my garden a few times but realised that I enjoyed building it but only really like running my Tekno ET48. Shortened the wheelbase and tried to convert it to a D90, but never really got anywhere.

     

    So; pictures say it all really. I'm not 100% sure I have every nut and bolt as I never finished building it then may have mislayed things when I shortened it.  I'm probably being overly cautious here; I dont think I've mislaid anything critical if you wanted to go back to a longer wheelbase, but I dont really know.  Can come with the original shell which I started painting an overly complicated and ambitiuos way so never finished that either! Also can come with a cheap (but I think pretty nice) D90 shell and the bits and pieces for that.  The insides dont fit on the Vaterra as they are, so I started cutting up the interior and covering up the windows.  Comes with the orginal wheels and some cheap D90 scale wheels that will need gluing. Added magnet mounts, but appear to have lost one of the magnets :( But still have the post mounts. I scraped the links when removing them to shorten it, so they don't look too good but will work fine.  Also comes with manual, original decals and box (box not in photos).

     

    I've tried to be honest and probably more critical than necessary, but all in all, let's call it a project!

     

    No idea on price, so I'll say £120 delivered for the roller no electrics, wheels and D90 shell & bits. SOLD

     

    Tekin FXR / 35T brushed combo - Bought for this car, barely used.  Did a bit of wearing it in but literally drove round my garden for maybe 15 minutes total on top of that. £55 delivered. SOLD

     

    Tekin hotwire.  Again bought for this car, only used once.  £15 delivered. SOLD

     

    Castle 10 Amp Bec and Link V3.  £20 for both delivered. SOLD

     

    PowerHD LW20 20KG Servo - Bought used on here but again; never really used. £15 delivered. SOLD

     

    Cheers, Mike

    Can't help you with model, but putting some pictures up on the thread may assist the more knowledgeable. How old is it? I assume you didn't buy from new so you may have a mash-up of a few different models, for example the engine may have been changed / added afterwards.
