dont you need a license for planes too?

correct have to have insurance, licence flyer ID plane ID but i am fully compliant, as i have said on MSUK before flying is my main hobby cars are second

Just try remember it does fly mate lol 

Have fun 

Im getting the dynahead 6x6 at some point as it looks like a nice build  and goes well

I had the Konghead it’s great fun fella 👍👍

I have a Dynahead, it’s changed a lot now but still a mighty fine bit of kit!

Yeah, even has plastic shocks.. At £500+ i expect more.

@m4inbrain I’d skip the Maxx and I’m a fan of Traxxas but sadly the Maxx is a bit of lemon for the money. Really needs the wide kit and better driveshafts those plastic ones just dont last all that long. Time you do that your into mt410 money and there pretty much the same size 

@mydoddy69

Cheers for the info bud. 

But.. too late. 😄

It'll be fine, it's not gonna be my "main RC", i still have the EXB and X-Maxx for stupid stuff, the Maxx is for the garden and a bit of blasting around. Paid £595, which is considerably more than i'd like, but the only other RC that i fancy (Losi Tenacity DB Pro) is out of stock until may (well.. the body i want, can get it with an ugly body but nah). After the Losi the garage is pretty much complete for a few weeks my wife said.

I don't think it's budget, really. It's just I hate seeing nice things being mindlessly destroyed, for no reason.

It is for a reason... It's a durability test mostly, like a lot of his content.

That's partly the reason I watch him.

I now know I will never buy one of those Losis, too weak for what I'd do to it.

Same for the 6s Arrma range.

Would you rather he destroys a vehicle, provides some feedback and entertainment (to some) or you buy it and be majorly disappointed? 😛 

I know which I rather 😄 plus it's just a toy, all fixable/replaceable.

I agree that the skate park bashing, no matter how extreme, does hold value; in that it can show what some RCs can take. Even if it is beyond what most people will do.

But it's the continued torture, sometimes increased torture, AFTER something has already broken, that makes me a bit mad. It's broken already, ramping it further holds zero worth, with regards to testing and evaluating. It's literally just breaking something for breaking-it's-sake.

I have no issue with the extreme bashing videos. I find them a bit repetitive and boring, but don't consider them a bad thing.

And I agree, it is all fixable, but my latent mechanical sympathy has me internally screaming!!

That's a fair point, I rarely run my SCTs over winter, always grab either a buggy or a MT (or crawler!) 

Guys....thank you for the input, and i will say sorry if i had a bit of attitude over the weekend, cant go into the reasons for that on open forum, i still feel the maverick flux XT+ is the one to go for, its not in UK stock as we speak, so i have a week to wait before even getting close to a decision on this, one weal spot is the body shell, it really does seem to be eggshell fragile being PVC rather than Lexan, this truck is due to sell for £249, so another option is the slightly older xt flux at £159 and order some upgrades at same time like the newer HD axles, and spare front arms, this would still come in under £200.

So no decision yet, time will tell

several folk had suggested getting an FTX outlaw, i have had a thought that i could get a brushed outlaw, as i have a new 120amp esc and a 3660 3300kv motor going spare, i also have a Outlaw roller for parts as the wife runs a brushless outlaw, this will happily take a 2s 6200mah lipo, and is pretty good of road, for the kind of running i want it for, the outlaw body shell is pretty fragile but it can be run with no outer shell, just roll cage frame body if needed, so i will give this idea some good thought

A happy ending, the cheeky guy on FB ended up having the senton at my price and turned out to be a right nice chap

result mate glad its worked out for you but i guess end of day we all have that cheeky streak and gotta try your luck lol 

another option if it works Jack i seen on utube was using those hair net things i bought a large pack from  simply direct you only get to use them once but there super cheap and stretch alot better than the dusty covers will 

made up my mind its going, starting to actually not like it now, its just wrong car and everytime i mention it to solve the issues it just causes me grief 

Fairplay Jack yeah i think weve all had that. owned an rc we just didnt gel with  🙂

Haha, even in the description it says RRP: £75 😂

Standard E-Bay seller trick when they run out of stock.

They still want to show up on search engines etc. and get the footfall to their E-Bay shop, but they know none will sell.

They will drop the price to normal when they get stuff back in.

It's purely to avoid removing the ad and having to replace it again later.

Ahh that explains some of the adds then 

Just get the 124019 and stick a on road shell on it, take the stock garbage out and put a decent combo and even on stock gearing on 3s people are getting well over 70mph

Intresting i looked at the strada and the hpi creator as wanted shaft driven, im doing something similar and being familliar with ftx parts i got a cheap ftx banzia pulled out the motor and testing brushless motors. Having issue keeping the power planted on 3s. I know the diffs can handel 3s as they are outlaw diffs so really beafy for 1/10 on road considering the size of the car so would be happy to try 4s if i could get the power planted, the tires to stay on and the car not launch into the air from every little stone / dip on the road. Looking forward to seeing what you get and how fast you get it 🙂

Thing is with doing all this to get a 124019 looking at about £100 then a conversion needs a new radio, that puts price up, so with radio, brushless and some foam tyres and a shell getting right close to £200 and still no place to run it, no gps to see what speed reached, best i leave this idea

Do you need 100mbps broadband? Unless you do a lot of heavy stuff, then would EE not be an option?

We have consistent 50-65mbps on speed testing, we sometimes lose wireless signal once in a while, no biggie and not anymore often than other companies.

It's about 30/m.

@Oh How Original its more about the tv for the wife, if it were down to me i would not have tv just broadband

NowTV stick? Used to pay £40/m for Sky, I just have a NowTV stick now, get all your apps and everything on it, no big bulky box, loads and loads of stuff on demand.

If you want regular TV listings like Entertainment, it's typically about £10 a month, but CDKeys and eBay often have deals as low as £2 per month.

My last deal was 6 months for £22.

But I mostly just use it as a stick for apps like YouTube, Netflix and UKTV Play.

Yep, should do, won't last very long though, with that shape of cab, if you have a high speed roll over... Plus Proline shells are pretty crap, the last few I've had have broken really quickly.

Had a few with molding defects too, which they admitted to knowing about, but wouldn't sort for customers.

I’ve  bought 3 proline shells in the last month or so and they have all been moulded absolutely fine 

Shoe goo and scrim tape and it will last better, SC trucks destroy bodies no matter what 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for the replies guys

I dont use Amazon and dont have prime, so this deal will do for me, i was also after a 3s pack just to get full speed and found one in the plane lipo box, its only 3000mah 35c but dont matter if i puff it as i dont use it in the planes no more and its old

Hmm that should be fine to use, just wouldn't do speed runs with it.

The Senton is very quick on 3s, probably a bit more than you're used to from your current models, you should love it  

I am looking forward to getting it but most of time it will be rally type driving on 2s, i know it can be pretty quick on 3s

Heads up, cheapest place is here; https://www.makeitbuildit.co.uk/senton-4x4-3s-blx-firma-slt3-short-course-truck-rtr-red-black-94214

Discount code; RCFunEveryday (I get no kickback or anything)

@Oh How Original thank you ordered

You're welcome.

I know it's not a roller, I was saying, used the electrics out of it for the Senton and sell it as a roller, instead of selling it complete.

not worth jack as a roller, so would be better selling it complete, and maybe get a better motor/esc if needed

Well if I was you, I'd sell it complete and just wait for an eBay discount code or something to get a deal on the brushless.

Nice 1 Jack 🍻

well done jack always better to be legit  !! 👍

You need to buy it there are plenty of sites out there that offer music clips for vids some are even free  👍

you can use a lot of music under the fair use policy jack the copyright claim just means if your channel becomes monitized they will also earn from adverts or views too.

always used original tracks on my channel and only had about 3 tracks over the years that were blocked and had to redo the music etc

can also search on utube for copyright free music 👍

I use purpleplanet.com

The vast majority of the tracks are free, so long as you credit them in the video description.

@PraetoR i would like to think there will be some trail meets next year Covid permitting, and yes former category mate

well said jack happy new year all !! we all have disagreements at times its the rc in our blood haha but thats what brings us all together :)

Happy New Year all 🍻🍻🍻

I do my bit for others safety, i tend to fly in pretty remote places, and when out with cars i tend to stop if people are walking by, also i dont really run fast cars trail is more my thing

I think I'll probably stop flying this year which sucks as I've barely started and the few times I have been out I've loved it. But by the time you've got the BMFA, club membership and caa things sorted it gets pretty expensive and I can't justify it, especially with covid and the probable lockdown we're more than likely going to be in till at best the beginning of summer. 

I will stay with flying for now, i do feel i may reduce the fleet, as i do have  a lot of planes and mainly fly the ones i really like

Happy xmas jack and fam !!!

Merry Christmas mate, hope you had a good 'un 

I don't see what difference it makes. It all comes from China regardless of the warehouse you choose. The European warehouses I've chosen have taken just as long to get to the UK as choosing China.

not going to order from USA as shipping expensive and very likely to get the customs fee`s china warehouse not getting silly with shipping cost, any way it dont matter i only posted this as  a heads up

EU'll not need to worry about this in a few weeks. It's a much simpler system, fees from everywhere. 

secret i hear you say?

do tell  

just joking, i will just have to wait till you are ready to tell  

or join the FB group lol

got rid of facebook years ago mate

more of a forum guy.

cant remember if i ever had a blackfoot to be honest, think it might have been clogbuster.

sad to hear jack they cant come together after this year bro  

@turok007Mtbing all day you living the dream man haha i couldnt hit the trails after all that turkey and pud lol 🤘

hoping i have applied oil to troubled waters, i may stay home for xmas after all

I think alot of people will be this year jack am quite lucky as both my sisters live in my area so not far to go just up the road our dads down honiton down south so will see him next week and have a early celebration with him

Nice 1 mate 

Congrats! Always liked the Blackfoot body - a proper pick-up truck.  Think there was the same/similar body on a sand scorcher type chassis when I was a kid.

Congratulations itll be a great nostalgia boost! But dont expect much in terms of performance!

Just Enjoy it for what it is!

@m4inbrain, thats great but a tad too late, as i had made the decision to go for the ford F-150 about 30 mins back, i did a spin anyway and it came out bronco, but like i say for what i want i figure the ford is the one to get. had i been wanting it as a full crawler then the bronco would be the better choice but my scx10 2 is pretty darn good for the rough stuff. The Ford will only be used for trail driving, nothing demanding and lets face it, i have wanted it for a pretty long time, this F-150 will feature a lot on my new FB trail drivers group

The Trx4 is the only rc I'm tempted by now its built like a tank as shown by kevin talbot they can be customised like any traxxas enough option parts and competitor option parts you can build unique rcs over the years keeping the chassis new and fresh to use building it in various forms over the years.

Ford F-150 is now ordered and paid for

We're still in lockdown Jack !!😷

John booth, we are allowed out for recreation, anglers are allowed out for fishing, just social distance and allowed to meet up with one other person
