I'm looking for some movie recommendations, the weather has been crap for the last 3 days and is still crap today, it's not going to get any better for another few days yet so it looks like I'll be stuck inside for a while.
Don't really mind the genre as long as it's good, but I enjoy action/thriller/horror.
Some stuff for ideas of what I'd like.
John Wick 1&2, Rampage 1&2&3, Saw, Hostel, Boyka/Undisputed, The Collector/Collection.
Give me some ideas chaps, I don't have any hair to pull out!

Cheapest/most reliable courier to send a 1/5?
-
I book through parcelmonkey these days. Gives you a fair few options.
Generally gives you a cheaper price using parcelforce than going to them directly.

I'm trying to find which DEANS connectors I need for my 6V 33000 battery pack because the standard connectors have started to come apart causing loss of power to radio gear/ servos. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Is the max6 esc good?
Are there any bugs or repeated smoke outs lol.
Im gonna get some nice elecs togeher and see what rollers fall my way. Hopfully find something i love.
Would a castle 1717 type motor be a good all round choice or 2200kv.
Ill only use 6s until im curious to see 8s.
Im gonna build a 1/8 basher whilst converting my slash back to rally for insane street car. Its amazing truck. But ive still not trird 1/8 brushless really. Nor even 4s power.
Erevo on twin nihm was the most juice i connected and was underwhelmed i sold the lot.

I don't see the fascination with the Vorza these days. I found the hinge pin / suspension block area to be a big weakness. I've got a few bent blocks & diff case screw holes ripped out from where the pins popped out. Had a mix of Hobao, HB & Mugen bolt on pins fitted in the end. A much needed improvement. Has thin dogbone shafts too.
I like the Hyper MTe but the slipper upgrade is a recommended added expense.

To sail grass at 50mph it's got to be the Castle 1717 with 6s imo.
I get just over 45mph in my truggy with a 4274 size 1700kv motor geared 17/50 (2 teeth up on stock). Motor temp hits 70C esc hits 50C but the motor has a yeah racing twin fan unit on it. Also the wheels are race size 3.8" weighing 175g each. If I put MT ones on it at 250g each the motor hits over 80C unless I drop 2 teeth.
On a hard surface I can gear to the moon.
I reckon if I go to a 1900kv & go down to a 15T it should be close to 50mph on grass, rpm will be borderline at just over 40k but may be able to run the MT wheels.
A vehicle with a reduction tranny would be less stressful on the motor over a CD when hammering the throttle causing less heat. I's possibly favor a slipper as well.
That's just me though.

Took me a little bit to find. My bm's said it didn't exist anymore. Don't know what they've done there. Prob forgot to renew the domain or something.

@ Capri-boy. I changed my mind about putting the 4082 2000kv Leopard in the MTe as it says it's only rated 5s and being a D wind it apparently sucks power. I was going to mill a mount to try the 1717 but haven't done yet (too lazy). Went with the sky rc 1550kv which is tame but I can't afford to replace rapid wear on the diff cups

For 6s I use a skyrc 1700kv geared 2 teeth up over stock gearing in a truggy on grass. (1/8 Trophy truggy w hard gears)
I couldn't get a good balance with a 2200kv without heat problems. Although on a flat surface 2200 and 6s shifts.
My 1/8 MT is running Skyrc 1550kv with 6s which gives the same speed as 2200kv on 4s but increased the run time by 40%.
1717 type motor is good for 6s too.
There are fake 1800 Castle ones on ebay which would prob go well on stock gearing & 6s. Unless you can get an alternative the same kv rating.
Leopard 56xx or 58xx for 8s looks about the best option to me.

Come on woman. Free trade deal with the U.S. please. That'll please the Traxxas fan boys
-
Well. I don't know for sure but we have a free trade deal with Europe as it is now and don't pay tax importing from there.
One can only assume it would be the same case for whichever Country we get a "free trade" deal with such as the U.S. , Aus , Chin. etc....
Works both ways, so for us.... no tarrif on their stuff and for them.... no tarrif on ours.
I hope it all comes off.

Can you believe it, sat at the petrol station filling up, saw a lass, can't have been more than 13 or 14 stood there bloody smoking, spitting all over the place and pulling what looked like a duvet out of her belly button.
Then chucked the fag end onto some very dry grass on a day where it's about 30C, literally right next to where the pumps are!
Why do parents have children if they aren't actually interested in raising them properly, they need there bloody heads bashing together.

Kane has been useless tonight when it mattered, hope we don't pay the price for it.

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
-
Looks like good old OHO has it right.
Looking through all the details properly they've kept the 20p transaction fee on reversal. Beings it's a refund for a cancelled order I can't use the words on here to say what I think about that!
Interestingly any refunds I've made before June 1st have reversed the full fee amount.
From now on if anyone cancels an order due to 'mind change' then I'm keeping that 20p back.

Anyone running truggies?
If so, has anyone used a differing gear ratio in front diff compared to rear....?
I've ordered a few gear sets now.....but I'm curious....
I'm running 43/10 in the rear, but wanted to run 33/8 in the front.
Apparently it's quite common amongst the racers
-
Proline clone jeep body arrived with the rear caved in. Rear arches too.
Has anyone else orderd one and received yet?

Note to self; don't peel an orange with a fresh cut on your hand.
That stung for what felt like a lifetime.

I've only found 1 good thing to do with this heat is that it's turned the shed in to an oven so it's making painting the body nice quick and easy ?
-
Hyper MTe is it still a good all round truck. Solid parts supply and still being improved on?
-
thats just great! want to get the xbox one, only to find out microsoft isnt doing the vr for it ?

Interesting. Don't let the kids near it. Hmmmm.
"Oculus makes it very clear in their health and safety information that this headset should not be worn by anyone under the age of 13. According to Oculus, the headset is not sized for children and can lead to complications with visual development as a result".
Give it a couple of years. It might turn out to be crap and die like the 3D tellys.
