  1. Hey guys I hope you are all well! I'm having a little bit of trouble getting my Mardave v12 to go in a straight line, currently using these: https://www.mardave.co.uk/spares/v12-sidecar/148-347-detail Is it a case of I am using the complete wrong steering link set or is a case of trail and error until something works? If I am using the wrong set any recommendations? Many thanks!
  2. Spot on mate! I'll drop you one in a bit. Sent from my BBB100-2 using Tapatalk
  3. Anyone know where I can get some from? I really want to put some rubber on my v12 rather then foam just for general running on pavement and for a little bit more clearance! I wanted to make a rally conversion but I don't think that's going to happen but maybe in the future! Found these on Ebay but there Isn't any in stock
  4. Ahhh brilliant! Thanks for the image, great help Sent from my BBB100-2 using Tapatalk
  5. Yeah that's right. I believe it's mode 2 so that's channel 2 on the RX? So that's throttle on the right hand side and steering on the left. Unless I have the modes the wrong way round haha! Sent from my BBB100-2 using Tapatalk

  8. Hi guys, I need a little bit of help. I had all my electronics come today for my Mardave rally conversion but I seem to be having trouble with the ESC and Tx/Rx. Bought a Hobbywing Quicrun brushed just to get started again and a Turnigy TGY-i4x as I prefer stick over pistol grip. First thing, I am under the impression I have to connect the ESC to channel 2 which is the throttle right as when I turn everything on I just get one beep indicating I have a NiMh and nothing else, not even the steering servo will move 😕 I have a red flashing light on the ESC and according to the manual that is something to do with the alignment which cant be as everything is in the neutral position. I have tried rebinding the Tx to the Rx but same thing, red flashing light Could it have something to do with the battery I am using as well? Its only a 4 cell NiMh but it is turning on, I do have a 2s LiPo coming next so is it a case of trying again when that arrives? Thank you in advance for any help!
  9. I'm not gonna lie, that actually looks pretty sweet! I'm glad it's been done before gives me a reference to work off Sent from my BBB100-2 using Tapatalk
  10. Thanks Alex! Will definitely be interested. I had a quick look on ebay and didn't seem to find anything (probably because this is a awful idea...) I already have a TL01 but I kinda like the smaller size of these cars. Definitely a project [emoji23] I have no idea how this is going to turnout! Sent from my BBB100-2 using Tapatalk
  11. Thanks for the advice! I understand its a completely stupid project and will take a long time but I have a lot of that spare [emoji23]. So it's pretty much getting the ground clearance on this then. I'll have a better understands of the car when it arrives tomorrow. On a whole I like a challenge and I'm looking forward to it! Just a quick question will 1/10 wheels look a bit big on the car or is that something I am stuck with? Sent from my BBB100-2 using Tapatalk
  12. Hey guys, glad to be here! I've always been a massive fan of hobby grade RC cars but never really has a opportunity to be part of it. Recently purchased a new toy and looking to do a conversion project so will more then likely be posting about how well thats going haha! I'm based in the North West and would say I'm more in to Rally and Stadium trucks over anything else Anyway I hope you are all well, take care!
  13. Hey guys! I'm looking for a full radio system for a project I'm starting on the cheap is possible, I'm not too fussed if its 2.4ghz or crystal (Do prefer stick over pistol grip though!) Let me know what you have with pictures and prices, must be posted unless local to Ellesmere Port) Thank you!
  14. Hey guys, just after some general advice to if this is even possible! I picked up a super cheap vintage Mardave v12 (Not sure if its a Mini Stox though) with a pretty sweet looking Megane shell as a new project over the summer. I'm not too in to the oval racing and more off road/dirt bashing and I'm wanting to convert this in to something that will run decent on those surfaces (Big big big ask....) I'm wanting to redo the electrics and need to pick up a radio but I'm wondering if anyone else has done this before or if anyone has any pointers Picture to properly identify what I've purchased. Thanks in advance!
  15. I finally got round to getting myself a "Proper" RC Car, not some ****ty Chinese crap with parts that break every 2 minutes! I picked up a second hand TL-01 for dirt cheap and I want to be able to convert it to run rally. Came with slick tires and A awesome looking vintage Futaba Attack-SR transmitter! I was wondering what size shocks I should get I was thinking 75mm but I'm not too sure and would I have to replace the T bones in it. Also it came with a vintage looking ESC possibly a stock part anyone got any info on it like T limit? And recommendations would be great. Thanks.
  16. Just a cheap Chinese branded rc called the HSP Reptile. I just wanna see if the hobby is for me without spending a ton on something I'm not going to use.
  17. Hi there. I'm pretty new to RC cars and got my first proper RC car today. I'm wondering if there are any short length, high capacity NiMH batteries about. My current bay holds a battery that's 100mm long (plus its 7.2v). I've seen most are about 130mm so just a general question . If there is could anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!
  18. Cheers pal. At least you have beaches to bash on aha. Might have to check them out sometime, thanks for the reply anyway!
  19. Hi guys. I'm pretty new to RC only ever drove those toys a few years back. Looking to pick up my first proper RC vehicle on Saturday. Just wondering if there is anywhere nice to pratice dirt/tarmac in Chester? Cheers!
