  3. Cross RC are planning to release a new 4x4 and 6x6 the 4x4 will be the err.....maxx6 and6x6 will be maxL so i guess Traxxas will be busy looking to put Cross out of business

      Not one to stick up for Traxxas but i wonder if this Asbestos issue will end up affecting other brands of rc models, another Youtube creator has said this may be just a small thing for Traxxas as a lot of owners will not return products

      My immediate thought when I saw the story was HPI

  7. Guys, im not really actively posting much at present due to spare time fishing, however i am still active reading posts and trying to be helpful on here where i can, i will be honest i am considering selling all my RC models and building up a pot of cash to get a pair of 1/10 and pair of 1/18 crawlers and sticking with this

    1. Yrkoon

      Yrkoon

      fishing is good fun, just need to get some full fingered neoprene gloves now 🙂

  8. What with the return to carp angling, i have been feeling i wont be getting a lot of time for rc cars been looking at the collection and figure i will prune down to a pair of 1/10 crawlers, pair of 1/18 crawlers and a pair of bashers this being the right number for me and my good lady to continue with the hobby, will start listing stuff soon

      i thought most of my old gear would still be okay, ha ha so far new Diawa D carp rods, new 42" landing net, new bivvy day shelter, new mainline for reels new hooks and a few kilo of boilles

    4. Stormbringer

      Stormbringer

      always the same mate theres always a new shiny thats on offer/cheap and you just gotta get it :rofl:

  10. I think i need to move on some models, some are not being used thinking rock buggy, FTX fury 2.0 rock van, have to think it over

     

    1. wombat

      wombat

      That's what I've just done, sold 2 of my 1/10 crawlers, decided to get an ftx Utah, only to find nowhere has them in stock now 😕 

    2. Gaz!

      Gaz!

      Keep the ones that stand out/get most use and sell off the rest, ive done it over the past year or so and couldn’t be happier with my stuffs, dont get me wrong, there will ALWAYS be another model pop up that you fancy, that’s perfectly normal. Then if you get the urge to spend on rc, go through them all upgrading a bit at a time. Wont take long before you have a fleet of perfect rc that you can enjoy for many years to come.

       

      just my own thoughts though. :cheers:

    3. bertberr

      bertberr

      If I sold every model - cars & helis that I didn't use in a while I'd have nothing left...  sometimes I go 12-18 mths without using a particular model, still like them just have enough time to use all of them on a regular basis.  If I'd sold then re-bought, it would have cost me a fortune.

      Cool truck mate 👍

  12. trying to find a bodyshell 340mm wheelbase to fit the Kyosho Tacoma, nothing out there, tried an Arrma infraction 4x4 mega body seemed like it would fit according to Arrma specs but no it wont, should not of bought this truck

    1. steephill

      steephill

      That's a bad do mate. 

      It's annoying when plans do work out like that. 

      Hopefully the Infraction body wasn't too expensive. 

      I'm trying to think if it would work on anything I have. 

       

    2. Lone-wolf

      Lone-wolf

      The fraction body is being returned for refund, now got my eye on proline Tacoma sct shell but need to double check size and it's not in stock for a while

    3. ad456m

      ad456m

      All I can find at 340 is the FTX Kanyon on Modelsport. They have a few in the 335mm spec on the website as well, mainly Savage bodies, 5mm probably could be close enough but they likely won’t meet the width yer after, not sure if that’s much help to ya

  13. Llandrindod wells....are there any good crawling spots i will be there later in year for a weekl

    1. wombat

      wombat

      If I'm going somewhere new and want to take an rc I check on Google earth to check for spots that might be suitable 

  14. Very significant birthday looming in a couple of weeks, and not my 21st, wondering if i should load up the credit card and treat myself to a basher, i will sort of struggle to use one but i do know a nice spot a few miles down the road

      Im finding it hard to commit to getting it, lot of cash for a rig that truth told wont get much use, but seems very capable, so at this stage im very undecided as to what i get, i could of been very tempted with the new MJX 1/10th MT basher, but early reports are saying it needs updating to a V2 and now its hard to get already. This is gonna be a tough decision

      Yep to an extent, i should be able to slow it down a bit as i will fit an Eagletree Guardian Gyro, when i do the maiden i will film it on hat cam and put a video link up, but might not be for a few weeks as weather forecast is pants

      be warned if you buy the big brother its a super money sink for all the stuff you can do to it, total destroys the dc1 out the box though lol

      Totally agree! any links to anymore info at all?

    3. Lone-wolf

      Lone-wolf

      no this is about all i can find so far, looks to have portals and Hobby plus tend to use metal gears, i will take a guess at 2 speed box, they can jolly well take my money on this one just on the looks

    4. Gaz!

      Gaz!

      I really like this idea, would be better if the cab was a little bigger though.

       

      otherwise id be very tempted although i have no real use for it truth be told….

  20. Im hearing rumours that MJX are bringing out a 1/10th hypergo MT, and that it will trash Arrma bl3 stuff as full metal gears all way through and 4S out of box, should be a total winner

      @Kpowell911.....unlike the Arrma you would not need parts for it ha ha

      @Kpowell911 Even if I go to my LHS for parts for my 16889A-Pro  (which is sold as an FTX Tracer in this country)  I still have to wait for them to come in.  I ordered a couple of front bumpers for it then, when I got home, I ordered a couple from Ali Express.  Got the Ali Express ones first 🤣

      I'm also waiting to see if it lives upto the hype but the yt vid they quoted a 10 minutes run time but I hope that's 3s and it's going to be a bit of a battle with the Omni terminator that also looks good 

  21. Going to list the Crossrc Unimog NT4 for sale, been out with it again today and just not gelling with it, if i keep it it wont get used so no point

      Cheers stormsy, this will make room for a Traxxas Ford F-150 either the 1/10th or 4m 1/18th

  22. I am now finished with Injora, latest order from them is more than likely going in bin, one wheel wont disassemble to get tyre on so money wasted again

      @Kpowell911, i do find the 1/10th wheels and tyres okay, but really having a hard time with the 1/18th sets, i have managed to drill out the offending hex bolt but the wheel took a hit and not so nice looking but at least they are fitted now

      sorry to hear that bud, think ill give them a miss too, hobby is already too expensive with out stuff like that happening 😞

      What body colour are you going for? The brown looks really good, never thought I'd like the colour of a brown truck but they look cool. 

    3. Lone-wolf

      Lone-wolf

      Not made up my mind on colour and going to hold out till end of month as i want a clear rock van body to do my A-team van, so will order all in one, i like blue but i feel this metallic is a little corny so Black or even Brown
