    Not sure if it's what you need but there's a Sanwa MT-4 on oople. Here's a manual to have a look. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/910545/Sanwa-Mt-4.html#manual

    What I was tempted with was finding a Savage 3 speed box & making a mount for it for a bl motor. With the easy pull off of 1st gear then the gradual gear changes through the run I reckon you could hit a ton easy using a 4074 without heat problems. Well I'd hope to.

      Back on topic, I was surprised to find that the balance of trade US<>UK is pretty even : https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c4120.html.  In which case free trade shouldn't effect the balance if current rates are similar.  It should encourage more trade vs with other countries / unions as prices would be more competitive.

       

      The real problem is that there is no way we'll get free trade with the US and the EU at the same time, and our EU trade is worth a LOT more.. I think £240B vs $24B, so guess which one is more important to government?

      Put like that damn. Bob hope then.

       

      But if we had free trade signed with usa, eu drops us. China India etc sign deals whoever else. Then increased trade potential. 

       

      100b though eek. No 200b sheesh how much of that is energy? Is that the big slice?

      And what did May do in this critical phase of foreign relations......appointed Boris Johnson as Foreign Secretary. The man who got that Iraqi woman an extra 5 years in jail by 'helping' .....

       

      So who does she turn to when he bails hot on the heels of 'Brexit Minister' David Davis to avoid any responsibility for the disaster they have wrought....Jeremy Hunt. The man whose name is just rhyming slang......I expect. The man who did so much for the Health Service. He is a total Jeremy Hunt that one.

       

      But lets look on the bright side. Boris got his job back writing a column or two ( estimated salary of £250K ), and along with the 74K he gets for representing Uxbridge ( unless he has to...you know...leave the country... when important things are happening) he has pretty much doubled his salary.

    Yep. No where near: https://www.cmldistribution.co.uk/product/AR220033/arrma-cvd-driveshaft-set-183mm-2-kraton Hobby is getting ridiculous.
  7. dazp1976
    What happened to it's cheap and good bargain status? I reckon Kraton spares prices are a little bit high at Wheelspin considering the cost of the whole vehicle! Mind you a pair of CVD's at CML are £49.99! That is extortion imho. As is £23.75 just for a pair of rear axles. So to buy 2 sets of cvd's, rear axles, motor, esc, and chassis will cost you the same as the whole thing! I've changed my mind on getting one. I was going to sell my Trophy to part fund one but the parts are cheaper so I won't be. Well I might get 2 to break up if they're the prices you can achieve on parts.

    2x 3TB hdd drives for my data backups. Could take a while to trawl through all the pc's.
  9. dazp1976
    It has more of a chance to but personally, now that I've use the yeah racing one I wouldn't bother with owt else.
  10. dazp1976
    Beat me to it sizing 3660 means 36mm diameter motor of 60mm. 3674 means 36mm dia, 74mm length. 4074 means 40mm dia, 74mm length 4274 means 42mm dia, 74mm length. And so on. xx-- means motor diameter. --xx means length.
  11. dazp1976
    Oh hang on. Miss read it slightly. The pin in the HEX In the end of the driveshaft axle there is a grub screw in there. Unless someone has used red threadlock you should be able to undo that and the pin can then drop out. Either undo it with the wheel on so you can hold it steady or hold the hex with a 17mm spanner.
  12. dazp1976
    Some people do still put a grub screw in the ball end of the drive shaft to hold the pin in place. Check that there isn't one in there first. If there is then you want to heat it up with a blow torch or something to free the threadlock before you undo it. If there's not then you should be able to knock it out. If it is difficult to knock out then something is amiss.
  13. dazp1976
    Found the same thing with the Osaki mini mill I recently bought. These are all exactly the same. Sealey SM2502. £879+ Clarke CMD300. £645+ Draper MILL-170. £801+ Osaki OSA2715500K. Cost me... £475 in February!
  14. dazp1976
    That will not fit a castle 2200 as it's a 42mm. For a 42mm what you want is a yeah racing twin unit: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yeah-Racing-Heat-Sink-Twin-Tornado-High-Speed-Fans-Set-1-8-Motor-Car-YA-0261BK/381360060399?epid=1251409865&amp;hash=item58cad4b7ef:g:594AAOSw3ydVyvp2 http://www.rcmart.com/yeah-racing-ya0261bk-heat-sink-with-twin-tornado-high-speed-fans-sets-motors-around-408mm-diameter-p-33978.html?cPath=1560_32 Will take around 10-14 days to come but well worth it. I have one on both my working vehicles. Needs a BEC / servo parallel cable or wire splicing, or I have all the kit if you want a custom length servo to twin BEC made up for a small fee Fits perfectly on a 42mm size can. For a 40mm smooth can I put some servo tape on the bottom part to pack it a little. I got anything from between 10-15 deg C temp drops.

    Sent paypal a 'stern' email. Had to cancel a transaction on ebay from an international buyer. It's ended up refunding more than I got paid initially. It's only a 20p difference but it's not the point I'm still out of pocket. If they do it to everyone often enough they're quids in. Prob exchange rates that cause it but it aint right :o:ack:

      They implemented this a few months back, got me the same way - buyer made a mistake, I refunded, buyer got 100% back of what he sent, cost me 20p to do the right thing.

      Oh How Original

      Just refuse to sell internationally, if they ask why, say because they're a rip off.

      Not just international though.  I use the GSP thing a fair bit - stuff like associated is much more sought after in other places than the uk and the weak pound helps overseas buyers pay that bit more :)

    Avery templates and label sheets perhaps
  17. dazp1976
    Glad you found the issue. I had a similar problem with a dodgy alloy hub on my old MTA4. It had been machined so the 2 bearings were too far apart making it tight to the hex. When I ran it at full pelt it melted the wheel hex and the wheel shot off. Completely destroyed and glowing

    Yeah the copies would be fine to use on smaller lipo's. But as I said before if using it for a 3s 5000mah lipo a 50w wouldn't be great.. You wouldn't get 1C from it and it'd be running flat out. I wouldn't trust a copy running it flat out. Forget 50w entirely and look at nothing less than 80w and above. I'd get this: (maybe even 2 of them) https://www.banggood.com/Eachine-D800-7A-80W-Dual-Input-Power-ACDC-Balance-Charger-for-NiCd-NiMH-Lithium-PB-Battery-p-1040228.html?rmmds=search&amp;stayold=1&amp;cur_warehouse=CN Stick to 1C on a 2s-3s 5000mah and there will be roughly 17% of it's power left in reserve. Should last you a good while. Chargers don't last 5 mins if you run them at full capacity. Edit: If you have a few cars then say sod it and blow the budget on a 4*100w quad and be all set for years: https://www.rcmoment.com/p-rm8525eu.html?currency=GBP&amp;Warehouse=CN&amp;aid=rmplagbtjc&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwyYHaBRDvARIsAHkAXcsuCobR0fzMjTz4ZP8peyaCzwcPFUp1qUFtdCZCYZW7CVSgz_HaeZUaAqspEALw_wcB This is £100 less than the Dynamite Prophet counterpart that it copies. There's some reviews on ytube.

    Non RC this time. Various colors of 18awg cables in 15m coils. A load of GX16 aviation connectors. 1605 ballnut. M3 & M4 nuts, washers, bolts. But my other Chinese purchase I've waited a month for turned out that it never cleared customs and was returned to sender!!! Ripping my hair out over that one as it is much needed
  20. dazp1976
    For 2s or 3s you want something like the Overlander rc6-vsp 80w 7A charger. This will have you covered. A 3s lipo of 5000mah requires a minimum power of 5A and 62W to charge at 1C. https://www.wirelessmadness.com/overlander-rc6-vsr-80w-7a-output-ac-dc-lipo-li-ion-life-nimh-and-pb-charger-ol-3129?language=en&amp;currency=GBP&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwg_fZBRAoEiwAppvp-TFF7UV5SADeOMoWei5tiuGQzpAVSNa6csbT1jVslyWs1bin0ywN9hoCaMIQAvD_BwE Just a quick look, you may find it cheaper elsewhere. A clone of the Overlander for £10 less: https://www.banggood.com/Eachine-D800-7A-80W-Dual-Input-Power-ACDC-Balance-Charger-for-NiCd-NiMH-Lithium-PB-Battery-p-1040228.html?rmmds=search&amp;stayold=1&amp;cur_warehouse=CN This caught my eye: https://www.robotbirds.co.uk/default/t690-10amp-90watt-balance-charger-ac-dc-touch-screen.html Or get yourself one of these: https://www.banggood.com/Ultra-Power-UP240AC-DUO-240W-LiPo-LiFe-NiMH-Battery-Dual-Balance-Charger-Discharger-p-1094621.html?rmmds=search&amp;cur_warehouse=CN Banggood stuff is taking around 10 days to arrive.
  21. dazp1976
    Depends on what you're charging Fine for 2s 5000mah or less. Anything bigger forget them. Also there's 2 types, 1 is DC and needs a separate power supply the other is AC straight in the wall socket. What batteries you got? Will make it easier to work out your optimum needs in Amps, Watts etc.

    I gave up the attempt of learning to fly a Raptor 30v2 about 4 years ago. It's sat on the wardrobe ever since. Could take your head clean off!!!!
  23. dazp1976
    It's a good job you have the YR twin fan unit in there the rate you're going I think you'd fry without it by the sound of things. I got around a 15+ Celsius drop in motor temps when I fitted mine. Doing well so far
