Sorry for the thread revival but search up West Suffolk Drift on Facebook, we meet around once a month near Bury St Edmunds, next meet is September 4th, it's a good time for sure.

Selling my beloved Absima AB3.4 Spec: -Turnigy trackstar 80amp ESC with 13.5t motor combo -Turnigy trackstar low profile servo (0.05s response time) 9kg -Turnigy trackstar 100mm fully adjustable shocks -Front aluminium skidplate (Essential) -custom rear wing mount that does not break like the standard one Comes with spare wheels, rear diff, extra spur and motor heat sink. I have an entire build thread for this car right here: https://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/forums/topic/237734-fnknans-absima-ab34/ I have spent many hours and a decent bit of cash modifying this buggy to be a fun and reliable basher. Only selling to free up funds for my drift car £100 Ono Sold as seen

I am selling my Thunder Tiger EB4 S2 Spec: -Arrma BLX185 ESC (missing fan cover but functions perfectly) -Castle 1515 motor -JX Ecoboost servo (Lightning fast 0.08s response time) -no receiver or radio -Upgraded Big Bore shocks Comes on brand new fasttrax 'badlands style' wheels and tyres and 6 extra tyres This is by far the strongest vehicle I have ever owned in 9 years in RC it's absolutely ridiculous. It can take some real abuse especially at the speeds that this motor and ESC combo can take it to. I'm probably going to regret selling this in the future, however I'm liquidating most of my RC collection to fund my real drift car. it's not the prettiest example ever but it's well worth the money I'm asking. £150 Ono Listed on FB for £200

It's a really cheap buggy so you get what you pay for, I wouldn't say it's half bad with a few upgrades, I wouldn't say I've had my money's worth of fun just yet but I haven't had much time for actual RCing for the past year or so and the car has plenty of life left in it. So I'm sure I will get my money's worth. Parts support was decent when I last ordered a part which was near on a year ago so I don't know the state of it now.

I have an absima ab3.4 with about 150 into it altogether, it's a fun buggy and definitely more durable than any ftx vehicle. Main weaknesses are the front bumper, wing mount and arms, but all can be upgraded easily. I bought the kit and out my own electronics in it. Here's a link to my thread where all the details to mine and a couple other people's builds are.

I mostly play Assetto Corsa and Dirt Rally. I'd say that it's definitely is immersive enough, even when running on lower graphics settings, sometimes I'll even forget I'm playing a game. It's amazing. It's really good if you wanna transfer driving skills from game to real life, that's my main reason for it as I wanna practice drifting all the time, but there's only limited drift days and I have limited funds, so if you think about it, the setup basically pays for itself in terms of not needing to spend money on track time, fuel, tyres, repairs, upgrades ect.

Something decently powerful I have a gtx1080ti Intel i5 9600k And a z390 motherboard 16gb ram That's about the minimum I'd run for VR, will cost about a grand. Can run most games in vr on medium high settings at 90fps. When not in vr it will run most games at well over 144fps besides cyberpunk which fluctuates from 40-70 but that games pretty unoptimised.

I've got the new oculus quest 2 and it's incredible. Completely changes the experience. You don't even need a pc to play be as it already has a CPU inside. If you do wanna play it on a pc for sim games ect then you need a usb type c 2.0 or above cable to plug it in. It's the best one available for the price and it's what most people are buying right now . This SIM rig is one of the reasons beside my actual car that I'm taking a break from RC lol

Well since the fiesta decided to crap its pants I've decided to get something that I can use as a platform to build something cool and keep for a long time. So what better car to go for than a lovely little MX5 MK2 1.8 special edition in Mazda Racing Green Got really lucky with this one as it came with the Bilstein Sports suspension and Torsen LSD as standard, prev owner knew nothing of this yet she owned it for 18 years 🤣. Saves me from having to buy both. The frame is solid for the most part besides the rear sills being slightly rusted. However, the front and rear subframes aren't great, but that can be sorted. Got me some nice 14s for cheap aswell as a new dual exit backbox as the old one broke off. Drove it for half a week without one like a yobbo, and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't fun while it lasted. Waiting for a new exhaust flange so I've bodged it on with some steel wire which is holding it solidly. The interior is pretty nice too with a Nardi wheel and gearknob as well as comfy but well bolstered leather back seats. Seems to be a very well specced car 👍

Yeah battery is charging fine. They just all make a lot of noise, think the bearings on each of them are going bad

Alternator, AC compressor, possibly the serpentine belt? Luckily it's all under a 6 month warranty so It's not a penny out if my pocket. The shop I took it to diagnosed it as just the AC compressor however.

My thoughts exactly. Hoping it was just a fluke. Although there are other things going wrong with this car so I'm not certain :((
