[The Traxxas trx4m owners thread]

[AJ’s Element RC Kit Build]

[Tx upgrade]

Ouch mate thats really unlucky and i really hope they send you a wheel 

Thanks mate but cant really see them doing that, will see what the email reply is, only other option is buy another set of wheels

[FTX/Hobby plus Rock van/Unitrak/power wagon 1/18th]

I have really fallen out wit Injora products, TBH i have often found there stuff to be hit or miss, so i ordered some nice red  alloy beadlock wheels, but you have to remove 2 small 1.27 hex bolts to take wheel apart to fit tyre, so new hex driver i do 3 wheels and the fourth wheel one hex bolt decides its just not coming out, so you guessed pretty much ruined the wheel trying all manner of idea`s to get this out, i think i will take the other tyres of the rims and just bin the wheels, im posting here because this was to make rock van into A-team van, this project is not happening now, unless injora will send me one replacement wheel

Did you paint over the original colour on your NT6

[Carisma sca-1e coyote body wanted]

Any one got a coyote body, ideally a mk1 matt black one must be in excellent condition will all chrome detail parts

[AJ’s Element RC Kit Build]

[AJ’s Element RC Kit Build]

They are very good rigs, you will love it

[Ftx outback tracker or element titanium hd]

Mine did that, turned out the pinion mesh had tightened up took my time and set it just sweet and sorted it, but also pop the diff covers of and make sure all is greased up

[The Traxxas trx4m owners thread]

@steephill very capable little truck

[The Traxxas trx4m owners thread]

@steephill that looks pretty darn good mate nice little truck, seems i may well be doing the U turn and getting a hi trail 4m f-150 after all, just makes sense, but this time i wont go on posting the rights and wrongs unless i do get it

Thanks, I will probably choose the element because of the better parts supply and being owned by a bigger company 

Did you decide yet, another to look at is the new FTX Centaur, its a stunner

[What did the postie bring you today?]

Little haul from Injora, 1.0 red wheels and some nice 60mm tyres plus 5mm brass hex`s this is all for the rock van to turn it into the A-Team van when clear body comes back in stock....yet again have to order an M1.27 allen key

[Enduro Zuul IFS2 RTR]

seen this on Tomley rc youtube, looks good

[FTX Centaur/RGT Pro runner 1/10th scale Trail crawler RTR]

A set of roof bars arrived that i plan on fitting these are very well made, but i think i will delete the black cross bars and just have the rail on each side, also Harry turned up, his licence for the Millennium Falcon has been taken from him due to age so now he is taking up trail driving in his old age, might need to lose his legs to get him in the cab

[What did the postie bring you today?]

postie delivered Harry today, once he has been in surgery to remove the legs he will take the driver seat in the new RGT pro runner Bronco

Ive been very quiet on the RC front. A genuine bit of RC fatigue, Ive not even been interested in catching up on forums or RC Youtubers, Traxxas have released a new Maxx Slash which is right up my street yet I havent pulled the trigger and I am unlikely too. Truth is, Id picked up most of the RCs I wanted (the Tamiya R34s, NSX, Supra and various Porsches) and I kinda felt Ive achieved everything with my RCs….

However, I had an Audi A4 on order at my local modelshop, and last week I did my usual eBay searches and made a purchase. 

Must be a sign as today as I was leaving for work, I got a parcelforce notification a parcel was out for delivery, and on my lunch break, I got a text saying my A4 was in at my local modelshop.  So a double RC Day. 
 

Also picked up some paint etc

 

 

Audi A4 TT-01E. Such an iconic shell IMO. Obviously a rere but itll be built as a shelfer so no problems. 
 

 

Now this is also a rere. I missed out on the original ReRe run, so had to pay over RRP, but I still got this for sub £200 all in which I think is acceptable. Its also on a TA03RS, quite a rare chassis that Ive never actually built. 

Of Course its the Porsche 911 GT1 Street. I do wonder if I could obtain some “race version” decals?

couple of nice Tamiya`s mate, get them built

[New Stampede 4X4 VXL]

This non traxxas fan likes the look of this but it will be more money than im happy spending and no room at the inn for it, if i am to get a Traxxas it will be F-10 hi trail 1/10th

[FTX Centaur/RGT Pro runner 1/10th scale Trail crawler RTR]

Thats decent runtime 

Ha ha i checked the battery on the checker still has 85% left in the tank.........Tesla eat your heart out this is how electric cars are done so slow crawl runtime from one pack should exceed 3 hours

what run time did you get mate ?

[Repairing lipo batteries]
