Yeah, going to Leeds next month but sadly the flipping thing won’t be out by the time I’m there or I’d walk in Modelsport n grab one to take back up the road🤣

It may be 2wd but with a front disc brake system, extra servo, upgrade parts from the XMaxx and licensing with scale parts etc. It’s far from an XMaxx with the front drive removed. Im pretty into 2wd with buggies though and am relishing getting the coin saved to get one. Not had an rc spark interest with me like this thing in quite some time.

Swapped Rx’s in my Turbo Scorpion and USA-1 over to ELRS for my Radiomaster MT12 and gave them a run. It’s kinda set off the RC spark in me again after a massive burnout period. The response compared to my GT3c is night and day, it’s served me well the last 9 years but the lag has become too much. The cars seem like I’ve upgraded them and not just the Tx/Rx, wish I’d done it long ago. EdgeTX is a wee bit complicated to start with but I’m getting to grips finally and it’s game changing, really liking being able to see the cars voltage on the Tx screen and other wee touches.

Looks good, I’m really looking forward to seeing your build👍

This should do well! Not my 1st choice of livery but classic nonetheless👍

I think it would be brilliant on loose dirt and damp grass will hopefully be a fun drifting frenzy

This is going to take great restraint for me not to buy!!

I can’t comment on the models in question but I built a Turbo Scorpion last year and have a newer USA-1 and I’d say you’ll definitely enjoy a Kyosho build if your a fan of Tamiya.

One of two we have, this is Osca, she’ll be 10 now and is invasively affectionate.

I’ve never done this but the following comes to mind. Have you drawn some ideas down on paper or scribbles on a photo on the phone? Could give you a visual aspect of what appeals. Then for testing I’d throw out some pegs or cones of some form to see if it suites your vehicles power. For the ground some gravel under the surface or the flexi pipes with holes all along that get buried(is it French drains?) if it’s gonna pool with water. This is all a bit permanent though and you may want to change up things as to not get stale, especially if your opening it up to others and they would maybe available down the line to help change things up. Astro turf is a popular race surface, less clean up than dirt and easier to mover around. The same piping I mentioned above would probably work for edging.

Cool, glad yer sorted👍

I’ve had “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” as an alarm tone for over a decade now, proper gets ya going when it cuts straight into it(3m45s in the video above) with full volume at 4am when I was in my last job😂

That’s a bit of a shame that it locks ya into a certain body shape but the clipless thing is cool. I guess it’s a trade off as many things are.

As much as that tune gets constantly redone it never gets old!!! And High Contrast hit it nearly every time!!! That song is on heavy rotation permanently for me.

Have you stripped it to see if it turns ok without the wheel or checked the seating of bearings, are any parts binding anywhere? I’d probably strip the whole axle and check if there’s anything wonky.
