      @Shergar that it would be. :lol: 
      I do off road as well but not sure it would be good for that either, ...might be an interesting drag truck though.

  7. Over the years i have had some good SPAM Emails  but this is  good  lol 

     

     

     

    You do not know me and you are most likely thinking why you are you getting this email, correct?

    Well, I actually placed a malware on the aduld video clips (****) web-site and guess what, you visited this website to have fun (you know what I mean). While you were watching videos, your web browser began operating as a RDP (Remote Desktop) having a keylogger which provided me with access to your screen and also your camera. Immediately after that, my software program collected your complete contacts from your messenger, FB, and email.

    What exactly did I do?

    I made a double-screen video. First part displays the video you were watching (you have a nice taste omg), and next part shows the recording of your cam.

    Exactly what should you do?

    Well, in my opinion, £1000 is a reasonable price for our little secret. You'll make the payment by Bitcoin (in order to get btc you can visit https://buy.cryptopay.me/ or https://buy.coingate.com/ or you can search "how to buy bitcoin" in Google).

    BTC Address: 1QJA4bXB5w9tgaukjKUBbb3GnGDTixKm1s
    (It is case sensitive, so copy and paste it)

    Note:
    You now have 48 hours to make the payment. I have placed a specific pixel within this e-mail, and right now I know that you have read through this e-mail. If i do not receive the BitCoins, I will definately send your video recording to all of your contacts including relatives, co-workers, and many others. Having said that, if I do get paid, I will erase the video immediately. If you need a proof, reply with "Yes!" and I will send out your video recording to 10 random contacts. This is the non-negotiable offer, and so please do not waste my personal time and yours by replying to this email.

      They're such scum bags aren't they.
      We know it's a scam but I feel sorry for the people that may fall for it or feel frightened by such emails. Honestly wish a great deal of pain on these people.

  14. Anyone seen any good deals on 1/8 Hobaos or Arrmas before i buy an ST Pro? 🙂  (UK)

    1. GMballistic

      GMballistic

      Not sure how good some of the deals actually are tbh.
      I had an email from "Make It Build It" earlier advertising their "Black Friday" sales were on but I'd imagine most shops will be doing the same so you'll still need to compare prices for the best price.

  15. Ordered some parts from china on the same day from 2 different sellers, both arrived in the UK on the same day, one parcel went to Evri and was delivered within 24hrs, the other has gone to royal fail and 4 days later it still hasn’t  arrived, can we just sack off RM, they lack any real value or service anymore…..

    1. GMballistic

      GMballistic

      Have to agree lately RM especially with all their strikes have been awful. I've things delivered by Evri and they've done a great service.

  16. So after nearly eight years working for Keter UK, I’ve sadly been made redundant with immediate effect.

    1. GMballistic

      GMballistic

      I had the same thing @Pistonhead before but it took me a while to get another job unfortunately so I went through the severance package I got paying the bills. 
      Fingers crossed you get another job soon so that the money is a windfall for you.

      That sucks ~ been there and it's a shock when it comes out of the blue like that when you've done nothing wrong. 
      Hopefully you can get some sort of severance package or/and a good redundancy payment. Best of luck.

  19. going back to work tomorrow after a few days of with covid, might be a mistake going in to work

    1. GMballistic

      GMballistic

      Sorry to hear about your troubles @Shergar after getting Covid.
      Seems to differ wildly between people even in the same age groups/health conditions etc.  Friend of my sisters who was previously healthy and is in her early 30's (so fairly young) got Covid when it first hit the UK. She got better but 2 years later still gets breathless doing things she took for granted before like simply walking up the stairs etc. Think she has scarring on the lungs or something. 
      Devastated so many and still is.

  21. Got my first ever Traxxas RC today. A used "E-Revp 2.0". 😁 
    Never had a Traxxas before so thought I'd give it a go, ...was looking at getting the "Maxx" but then searching eBay this E-Revo jumped at me as the price was great, has some upgrades already and from what I've seen in my research before I bought should handle more to my taste. Not a fan of top heavy RC's that roll over too easy so the lower centre of gravity on this should be better than the Maxx.

      Haven't had the chance to drive it yet as I'm giving it a deep clean/service first. 
      I see no need to change the ESC if it does what it should but the dual servo set up is on my list of things to change. 

      It has the Traxxas rear brace, steel centre CVD driveshafts as well as 7075 toe links so has some decent mods already. I also have the HR limiting straps to fit. 

      If it doesn't drive how I want or I don't get on with it then I'll move it on but wanted to give this a try. :good:

  22. Is this forum using adequate method(s) to prevent bots signing up, as recently there seems to be an increase in spam?

    1. GMballistic

      GMballistic

      Like most forums I'm sure you know that they do have security measures etc in place to prevent as many as possible from getting through but ultimately when they do it relies on the Admin/Moderators of the forum to deal with it. 
      They're not paid and have lives to lead as well as real paid jobs to do so occasionally it can be a little while for the spammers/bots to be dealt with especially if members don't report stuff they see. Also some bots/spammers will lay dormant for a while before unleashing their rubbish on a forum so again a little more difficult to nip in the bud. 

      Generally I think the Admin/Moderators on here seem to be pretty good at keeping on top of it.

      When I was selling a mini Losi 8ight T recently that had a T-Bone chassis protector I had so many messages from people asking me to sell it separately. 
      No idea why as it was literally a really flimsy piece of like 1.5mm plastic that the front bumper had snapped off from. The Arrma Skinz would do the same job.
