  1. another option is self adhesive hook an loop velcro, place a strip on lipo and the other strip on chassis plate, quick cheap and simple

      im super interested in what you think as well as dad has been encouraging me to buy one and i know u love your crawlers lol, so awaiting your review  🙂

  3. My thoughts as well, but seeing this one i will defo be getting the Brown one very soon, Brown just looks more scale
  4. Finally got round to opening up the transmission and diffs on the Element gatekeeper Texan,, all clean and fully greased now, next job is the new cab still a texan power wagon but all new colours
  5. now ordered the FTX Unitrak builders kit, the little unimog along with some bling wheels and tyres plus oil shocks from Injora
  6. So i have ordered a few bits from Injora for the F-150, this means i will be getting it after all this deliberating , i have some plans for shocks/ride height so can any one tell me the shock internal bore size and what diameter the shock piston is please
  7. Go with TRX4 i think some one on here did a build thread and really enjoyed the build
  8. For now gonna just order the brown f-150 and a set of metal links plus crawler gear set, then see how it goes in future, also wanting a hobby plus T hunter kit and some nice upgrades, maybe i can just do both
  9. OUCH !! Pricing up hop ups, or should i say possibly needed upgrades this project is really getting expensive for a 1/18th........metal underdrive transmission gears, metal axle ring and pinion set and a set of metal links to add a little low weight plus maybe an Injora 180 motor with the hi trail F-150 we are at about £252 then i would like a light kit. kinda feel im pricing this up and getting reluctant to lob this kind of money into this project.........if i am gonna go ahead might have to drop the motor and metal links from the list
  10. looking good, part of me is slightly tempted with this axial but i guess i best stick to the plan, maybe get this at a later date https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/axial-1-24-scx24-dodge-power-wagon-4wd-rock-crawler-brushed-rtr-green-1353668
  11. Thanks for the input and advice, was going to order today but no one in to take delivery so gonna have to wait a week, but i may be able to collect while out on my deliveries.....if i can get a truck into modelsport car park
  12. I think i will go with 32% underdrive does pinion come of easy enough
  13. Nearly ready to order the trx4m f-150 but im gonna want the lower ratio gears for transmission, i guess best get the metal gears and seems pinion needs swapping is this about right
  14. I would love a crawler course in back garden but i think mrs wolf would not be happy at all
  15. Lovely run out this morning, really enjoyed it
  16. If i did not already have 3 different Dumbo radios and the flysky GT3b i would get one of these
  17. Yes its made by Dumbo and branded Absima but still says Dumbo on the wheel lol
  18. Figured you would like it, very good trucks
  19. will remove this listing sunday eve if not sold
  20. will leave this till sunday and then remove listing
  21. Hobby plus, famous for rock van, and T hunter seem to be releasing a new model 6x6 1/18 lorry, looks amazing

      Totally agree! any links to anymore info at all?

      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….

  22. I have found the more budget tyres like from Injora dont seem to give there best till they have had a few runs, a bit of breaking in
  23. Here is my DumboRC X6PM-350 6 channel, i find this a lovely radio to use, all the buttons illuminate when pressed showing what channel is in use, it will do multi model but does not store so a case of binding a car to the TX if you want to change over, not all that practical but then this TX is only £23 on Banggood i added the wide elastic bands to the wheel to assist with one handed driving
