  1. Chopped off the traxxas battery connector on my Trx4 F150 Should of probably listened to @Lone-wolfand made an adapter before I tested it. Just a quick video works fine, really nice looking truck
  2. @Lone-wolf I've changed the connectors on two of those esc's to xt60 with no issues.
  3. Thanks mate 👍. I do like the chevy k10 but the Ford looks so good, wheels look way better. The brown version looks good I couldn't make my mind up initially. I'll get that traxxas plug chopped off and give it a run.
  4. Will do. I might get chance later. It's a compact, well made looking esc. But it's how it performs is the important thing.
  5. Trx4 Ford F150 high trail. I was thinking of getting the k10 but the Ford is very good looking, well I think so.
  6. This arrived last week. I still haven't tried it out yet, been busy with 1/10 crawlers. 3s capable esc for brushed motors. Comes with various connectors, traxxas battery connector, scx24 connector and one for the balance connector on a battery. I was going to fit to my tarantula chassis truck, but I think I'll try it in the wrangler with the stock gearing. Should be fairly amusing to drive as a trail truck.
  7. A picture I got a few weeks ago @Stormbringer @Lone-wolf A bit of a brutal picture, but nature can be. I'm hiding behind a wall trying to get a picture and she stared at me.
  8. Thanks mate 👍. The female sparrowhawk is larger than the male and is capable of taking pigeons. I got some pictures recently. She stared right at the camera.
  9. @Lone-wolf A short video of the sparrowhawk. Really hard to spot, you know they've been, usually a pigeon in bits on the ground.
  10. Thanks mate, thought so. We get loads of different wildlife. I've been feeding the wildlife for a good few years now. Glad you like them 👍. A sparrowhawk took out a pigeon a week or so ago, managed to get it on one of the cameras. Here's a video from this morning, quite a good close up of two roe deer.
  11. I've ordered a good few times over 100 quid and not had any trouble.
  12. Yeah, longer shocks will lift the height of your truck. I think stock length on the Bronco and Defender are 53mm. Injora do 59mm shocks that are pretty good value about 20 quid.
  13. Done a few bits to my defender. Managed to get the paint of the front windows and windscreen. They aren't crystal clear but I need to try and polish them. I did fit the injora light kit, not the best to be honest. Rock sliders and chequer plate. The cherokee body is the injora 324mm wheel Base version. Only finished painting it yesterday and assembled the body panels last night. I used Tamiya primer and hycote acrylic paint and hycote lacquer.
  14. Change of plan for one of my trx4s. The injora lcg chassis is going on hold for now. A load of bump steer, would probably need changing to 4 link front end. Setup back as stock chassis with injora 324mm stainless links to suit the cherokee body. Still setting the body height, position, bumpers etc. Also got black wheels and some new boots. I rate the fastrax rocko tyres highly. Great for crawling.
  15. Woke up a bit early this morning so I thought I'd try a time lapse...
  16. Nice truck👍 The Trx4 is a capable rig. I have a few coreless servos, they are pretty noisy. Enjoy 👍
  17. @TommyC I'd go for the Tarantula chassis from what you have said. You can use any shock length available for that chassis. I use the 53mm long shocks on the tarantula chassis. I use for crawling so I want it as low as I can.
  18. @TommyC There's a few body options. You can change from bronco to defender or vice versa, you swap over bumpers Injora do a wrangler copy body and this one... https://www.injora.com/products/injora-ir40-half-truck-body-with-cage-for-1-18-trx4m-defender-bronco Which allows you to fit the large 70mm tyres. The tarantula chassis that @Alex97mentioned is a really good choice. I have one and rate it highly.
  19. That's why I've never bothered with redcat. Uk spares seem very limited. Plenty of other brands with spares available in the UK.
  20. That looks pretty good as is. The body isn't the best looking, but not many lcg rigs do. Good motor choice.
  21. I've been doing a few hard bodies lately, never put them on any crawlers as the weight put me off. But I think they do look really cool. I picked up this Injora cherokee pick up body (jeep pick up truck is a comanche). Fits really good. Most of the trucks I have need lower rear shock towers or a cantilever shock setup to allow the rear bed to sit at the right height. Straight on at the correct height on the scx10 pro chassis. I tried to get the nardo grey Audi colour. The nearest I could get was ts32 haze grey. So in the picture the body is sat on the stock rear body mounts and the front bumper. Magnetic mounts would probably work. It would be good if I could swap the bodies reasonably easy, both bodies on magnetic mounts and the front bumper to change. The pictures aren't great and the body isn't finished, I was just curious to see if it would fit. I do think it looks pretty good.
  22. @Stormbringer 🤣 trying hard not to wreck these hard bodies.
