  4. Thought after all the doom and gloom of the last couple of years, I'd treat us all to a trip down to the Goodwood Revival meeting later this year.  Used to go quite regularly back in the late 90's / early 2000's, when I seem to remember tickets were around £30 for general admission.  Just priced it up for a family of four for one day, including grandstands, and it was 447 quid...  Hmmm, well it was a nice idea at least...!!!

      I agree with you @bertberr that's a lot of money for most people to spend. I really love my cars and used to go to a fair few shows but could never afford or justify something like that. 

      If you want a good value race circuit to visit Castle Combe is my favourite. Obviously not to the same level as Goodwood but still an enjoyable day out for a family.

  7. Where does everyone buy their LiPo's these days? I always used Hobbyking but it seems they have moved all battery sales to the international warehouse now.

      Great info @danny boy . Agree it would be great if they could get it sorted as I've always been happy with the service from Hobbyking plus I love Turnigy batteries which they do.

      @danny boy the battery I bought was a Lipo TX pack and was £15 odd for the battery. I checked my order and it actually came from the "EU Warehouse"  with postage being £3.72. 
      I had two options with the postage from there with one being £3.72 (not tracked) and the other £35 odd! (tracked/insured). I risked the cheaper option and it was fine, no import charges. 

      Just checked ~ The same battery is now only available from the "International Warehouse/Honk Kong" and it offers me two delivery options. Fedex @£25.62 and UPS @£27.11. 

      Ridiculous so looks like I won't be buying batteries from them again. :lol:

      Last time people were panic buying fuel I got so wound up one day leaving Asda trying to negotiate through all the panic buyers I ended up letting a few of them know what I thought of them. :lol: 

      It's that classic media driven "self-fulfilling prophecy" at work again.

  14. Going to sell my 8s exb but where ? Forum seems quite eBay is a joke with fees and Facebook is a minefield of jokers ! Not sure on price either any thoughts guys ? 

    1. GMballistic

      GMballistic

      I understand the dilemma. Tbh I have sold a fair bit lately through Facebook without issue. 
      I always state cash on collection or PayPal Goods for my items and if sending use a tracked/insure Royal Mail delivery option. 

      I've been using FB to sell because eBay fees are something like 12% odd whereas if you sell on FB and use PayPal fees are more reasonable at 4% odd, ...plus easier to add that into the cost if you wanted to.

      You can also share it then through various groups. So you can sell via FB Marketplace but also groups like; Arrma UK, RC stuff for sale in UK, UK RC bootsale etc etc. 
      If you do try FB this is a good group for selling Arrma stuff in the UK: https://www.facebook.com/groups/249445692413273/

      Apparently there is a petition online you can sign to show support for getting him sacked.

      That footballer should be banned from ever having animals and publicly flogged within an inch of his life.

      Not only did he abuse that Cat but was laughing about it whilst doing it. Boils my blood.

      It's sad that it's hard to find a Cat from the rehoming places but it's also a blessing too that so many are being happily rehomed.

  21. since hobbyking uk has closed, where do you get small 2s lipos for mini cars from please?

    1. GMballistic

      GMballistic

      No didn't have to pay anything like that.
      Taxes were included in sale, postage was £3.72 and order total was less than £20 so not sure if the total value made a difference. Believe it came from Germany.

      I used Hobbyking just a few weeks ago for a 3S lipo I needed. Came from their "EU" warehouse and the postage was fair. 
      Took a few weeks to be delivered but I wasn't in a hurry.
