  1. I give up with DPD, box arrived all beaten up and the body for the XV02 is wrecked

      Good that you're getting a refund but shame you couldn't get your first choice of body. Hopefully you've got something you prefer and it gets to you safely.

  4. Looking for some good AA  rechargeable batteries,  I have some amazon basics  they work well but don't know the life span.  Tried  energize in the past  but found them rubbish

      Same as @MrCakeI use Eneloop.
      Seem to be reasonable batteries but in all honestly I have no comparison as they're my first set of rechargeable batteries since the late 90's. :lol:

  5. I have decided to close down my FB group RC Traildrivers UK, the group has totally failed to grow, and has cost me money keep buying fresh rigs to vary content while  none of the members have contributed, it will close on wednesday coming

      Before you close the group try to drive some of them towards this forum.  

      I do understand why so many use FB but honestly I love forums like this and would hate to lose them one day to the mass groups of FB.

      Yep sick of the heat ~ why does this country never seem to have a happy medium with heat? 
      It's either not warm enough or killing us all with too much heat. 😂

  10. Hello Ladies & Gents! Just hoping to hang out with you and enjoy RC! I like to build about anything with horse power 🤓! I haven't visited any forums for years. I had a stroke caused by a brain aneurysm about three years ago. That'll take the energy right out of you. I've been lucky enough to have three TIA's. That's when blood finds it's way back to where it hasn't been for awhile. That's enough about that! Ready to be a part of an Awesome RC community. My latest build is a Traxxas UDR. I've been researching parts and performance videos for about a year now and scouring the parts diagrams and suppliers. I'm just starting to aquire parts. Can't build as fast as I used to. Can't afford it or think that fast anymore 🤓

    Later, guys and gall's! Ron Young 

  11. I’m in a Kev Talbot vid 😂

  12. Just thought I'd share my result from ROSSA Speed Championships UK Round 1 ~ My Typhon shattered it's spur gear on the first pass so instead of wasting a lot of time on that I purely concentrated on my Limitless. Glad I did as I just got faster and faster all weekend. 
    New PB of 150mph odd. :topbanana:

  14. Managed to crash my hpi savage xs into to my leg mid air at full chat yesterday 

    Resulting in a boot and a appointment with the fracture clinic 😂😂

      Oh dear. Hope it's nothing too serious, ...My Mrs is still recovering after a minor slip/fall in May whilst out walking broke both bones in her ankle. 
      She was in a boot at first but then after her fracture clinic appointment they said it was more serious so she had to have surgery with metal plates & screws put in her ankle. Best of luck that doesn't happen to you.

      That is awesome. I am a big petrolhead/car lover so things like this really get me interested. 
      Came across as a lovely bloke too. Very impressive quality build.

      Unless you have a huge lawn or uneasy access to electricity I'd just get an electric mower. Far less hassle imho and definitely less annoying for your neighbours listening to you mow the lawn. :lol:
      I have a Qualcast electric lawn mower that's around 7 years old now and still going strong ~ around £80 new. They're now sold under Bosch brand I believe.

  19. Any recommendations for a good solid folding knife? I’ve had enough of replacing Stanley blades just for cutting open boxes and thick cardboard! 

    1. GMballistic

      GMballistic

      If it's just for opening boxes then I'd get an Irwin retractable knife or snap off blade knife. Had mine for years, very solid and well made compared to some. Stay away from plastic knives imho unless you're happy to treat it as a disposable/replaceable tool.

    Bl**dy good actor and by all accounts a good guy (or should that be Goodfella) too. RIP.
