      soz for all the ;drunken responses the other night, their all dots now delete them please 🙂

  2. 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

      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:

      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.

  3. Pre ordered the Hobby plus Arktos 6x6 in Blue from Modelsport

      ohhhh just had a look on Modelsport they look very nice and some of the other models have little brushless set ups in them 😍 Winter is coming so might get some for playing in the house 🙂

      Cool truck mate 👍

  4. 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

  5. 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 

  6. 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….

  12. 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 

  13. 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

  14. 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

      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

      Yeah i get what your saying, if i got one i would use my existing flysky FSI6X stick radio 10 channel to keep cost down but the build would kill me of, lack of patience would be my downfall, plus i would have to of load all my other models just to make room so not gonna happen

      REminds me of my plans to build an 8 wheel FG based truck with 2 26cc motors, 4WD 4WS, I had enough parts to make it, but when I laid it out...I knew I had no way to transport it to anywhere I could run it. So it never got built.
      Whilst I love a statement RC, it's no fun if you can;t take it out for a run!

      Still here, will be 14 yrs in a few weeks time.  Still look in from time to time, but yeah, carp weather and hardly any opportunity locally to run the cars, combined with being mega busy at work and at home has meant little chance to enjoy & share RC recently 😔 (even the helis have suffered).  Do miss it and hope to be back on here more in the Spring.  Hope everybody is well 👍

      Bit late to the party on this one but anyway... I still poke my head in since stopping being so active towards the end of last summer. I got a bit bored of having threads turning into echo chambers with maybe 1-2 posting occasionally! Even the bigger sections seem quiet now. It's such a shame as I owe so much of my RC knowledge to forums

      on the bonus front its a green light, did better than predicted but having had a bad experience with previous cross AT4 that uses same chassis im not sure i want to part with £400 and then have to sort problems out so still undecided, also to get the 1/10th i would have to sell another model to make room and things just dont sell lately

    4. stimpy

      stimpy

      I'm out the loop on scale crawlers, but surely for £400 you could buy a decent chassis and then add a mog body?? Then you get all the fun of a build also... 

       

      Or perhaps Santa has already sorted this quandary out!!!! 😅

  22. I see FTX has launched a new trail/crawler, the Gladius, 2 speed, portals and remote diff locking, amazing price , looks to be a winner but it seems to have sneaked in with no internet buzz  https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/ftx-outback-gladius-1-10-4x4-rtr-1-10-trail-crawler-grey-1355592

      Looks remarkably like a Trx4 in lots of areas.

       

      still, i suppose in a good way, the lack of r&d in this means its cheaper on the shelves….

      I should add that I don't think it's deliberate. I think they are just either very busy, or very forgetful. Either way, it doesn't make for a good buying experience...

      danny boy

      L&L will never give a refund. I'm surprised you even had a response from them. Made an order for a few shells a while back and only received half of what I bought. I sent multiple emails and gave them two weeks to respond but in the end had to do a PayPal dispute. If you really really need something from them use their eBay shop. It'll cost a little more but they seem to behave a bit better on there to avoid bad feedback.
