  1. The more I see the less I like. Edit Is it just me or do the rear axles on the 2 trucks in the above video not line up with the body?
  2. air rifles are safe enough provided they are used with thought. try and stay high up so the pellet goes straight into the ground. never fire towards houses etc... plus they are fairly quiet so nothing for the neighbours to worry about. fire out the bedroom window....
  3. As above ^^^ The 4runner was known as the hilux surf here. Both US and UK versions were independent front and solid axle rear vehicles. Seems the wrong vehicle to pick for a scale truck Edit A friend of mine had a surf which had been fully 'monster'd'. Jacked right up with a solid front axle. He never would tell anyone what it cost to build though....
  4. Congrats bud! Hope you enjoy it! (its the one i was secretly hoping for....)
  5. The more I look at this in detail its exactly the same as the team raffee body. Even the body they've used to market it is the same.....
  6. So... Minor update. She sports a quicrun 1080 now. I have to say I'm very happy with it! SOOOOOOO SMOOOOOTH!!! throttle finger is like butter with this esc. nice and programmable too. She looks very scale when driving now. Also sports some numberplates and some extra chequerplate on the roofrack. And a storage box up there too for stuff... Getting very lazy with pictures atm....
  7. I have a feeling my boy would claim the outback should i win it....
  8. The new traxxas isnt the same scale as this. Nothing integy make will fit it....The RC4WD and RCBITZ versions are exactly the same as the d90 body you can buy on ebay for 30 quid. (i know as I have both). And as such are vastly overpriced. The only thing you get extra with the "gelande" body is that you get some nice scale stickers... This body seems more inline with the team raffee stuff except the interior has way more detail. The rear end of the truck as a load more detail too. I'd hazard a guess at around 60 quid to your door. Maybe a bit more
  9. I used to use Plastikote but the cans now have this terrible locking trigger which i hate so moved to the Halfrauds stuff. Might give the Tamiya stuff a whirl on the next body I spray though,,,,
  10. I've had about the same happen with a floureon lipo. It was fine for about 3 months then took the combo out with it when it did go. No warning, it charged fine, balanced fine, and poof! Magic Smoke...
  11. i have the bag from the kit still sealed and ready to go. also have a rear bumper as per your other thread if you still need? @neilson38
  12. i never used the ones in my kit. let me check them to make sure they are complete
  13. Many amass xt60's. Also much heat shrink also the amass connectors dont need it. On sunday I went and collected a new soldering iron from screwfix. Rothenburger micro gas iron. OMG its HOT!!! again no piccys....
  14. yesterday some scale number plates from KD models on ebay. (top service, well recommended!!) and an RC4WD Warn winch shackle. Again no pictures...
  15. A Hobbywing 1080 for the d90 and some scale ropes for the same. No pictures..... zzzzz
  16. Like the look of that. The battery location is exactly where I put mine in my ascender. Works well!
  17. Took the D90 to a dryed up river bed near my house. Its a nice long rocky section with a few old weirs to crawl up and down. Also found a BMX I may go back and collect later... Also made a roof rack deck out of some of the leftover scale chequer plate from the build. Sprayed it black as I thought it would be to reflective to look scale
  18. That is a thing of beauty my friend! Also looks wallet cripplingly expensive!!!
  19. Thats a very nice looking truck! I hadn't spotted that one... Still, one too few axles for my plans this time
  20. STOP THE PRESS!!! I NEED THIS!!!! ASAP!!!! https://greensmodels.co.uk/collections/1-12-scale-kits/products/xc6-b-complete-kit Its nearly my 30th.... I wonder....
  21. Im planning on buying one of these and making a plate for it to hang under my TX http://www.rcmoment.com/camera-gimbals-2004/p-rm1440s.html?currency=GBP&Warehouse=DE&aid=rmsplagb1&gclid=CjwKEAjwz9HHBRDbopLGh-afzB4SJABY52oFWOYsy8OdcbRwHpWeFP4O93YDZfpdO9SBQdfuAZjnwBoCGrnw_wcB Cheap at 45 quid delivered I thought
  22. Tekno MT410, Losi 5ive-b, and at the minute im hankering for some kind of 8x8 build....
  23. Took the d90 to a club show day at Flixton air museum. Lovely day! Very enjoyable. Job done!
  24. at 6'4" i barely fit in the drivers seat of one of those!
