Fair enough. Sometimes they are just not strong enougo for what you want.

Have you got a link please

What are you going to do with it then. Surely it is worth getting a few metal parts (and ESC if that is needed) to sort the issues, and keep enjoying it. Or was it not that good when it was working either? Looked really good on Mike's youtube

He says max 5. It is not branded as hobbywing, but an 8S 200 amp ESC that looks like that, we all know has just had the hobbywing label pulled off (at least I hope someone it not copying them)

If as he said the outer face can be removed then isn't that the only bit you really need to paint as that is the visible parts, and therefore it would be pretty easy to paint the wheel separate to the tyre. What build are you planning in 1/32?

Yeah, they are all fine. What radio are you using? I have an absima CR3P and they do some very good waterproof receivers for them. At £20 they are a bit pricey, but if you know your car is going to get a regular submerging they are super. I also use the flysky receivers which are £5 each but not waterproof, and like you say just dry them out after and they work again. just I know that the flysky ones work with the absima radio, so I suspect the absima waterproof ones work fine with a flysky and work through the wet. I once found my car upside down in a small stream, water up to the chassis. As I said earlier, only issue was the lipo alarm, everything else was fine (using the waterproof rx's that is)

I don't bash in the rain, but I am quite happy to drive through the bigger puddles and mud. It just means that when you finish give it a wash with clean water, squirt some oil at the bearings to displace all the water so they don't seize and let it dry. Just makes sure your electrics are waterproof. I have some super Rx's for my absima which are properly waterproof. They have been fully submerged and not cared. The biggest issue I have with the wet is the LiPo alarms go haywire, detect extra cells and all sort of madness. Otherwise everything holds up fine.

Sold now, please close

This has now been sold so mods, please close this thread. Thanks

I am a student in 6th form at the moment. Means I have very little money for the hobby. Plus I have other even more expensive hobbies.

What would you be happy to pay for it, just give me an offer and I can think about it.

Bump

Yep, still around. Here you go:

Ok, thanks. I will have a look at that now, and see how much of a mess I can make of it!

Please Close this thread. If anyone was watching these, due to a last minute plan change I had to end them, as I would have been unable to post them when I said I would. I will be re-lisitng these in a week or 2, but feel free to PM if you are interested.
