Gutted, i had the same with fiesta van mk4, but was a diesel, the Aux drive belt snapped and got sucked in the cam pulley, I was told them it was a common problem and that was about 15 years ago 

@m4inbrain luckily that wouldn't be an issue cos I took it into the workshop to get it checked under warranty because of these issues and they said it was the AC compressor and that they'd call me to get it replaced. But they never called me back. I haven't had time to chase it up as I've been really busy with moving into a new place and working on my degree but it seems like they didn't diagnose it properly anyways.

@.AJ. I'm think that's the issue but I'm not 100% sure. I'm no mechanic and I don't wanna touch anything to investigate just cos they'll take any excuse to not have to pay out.

Have to agree with @m4inbrain, you will be truly disappointed driving the Volvo, even of its time it really didn’t compare well to its competitors.

My first car was a Mk1 Fiesta Supersport, I know if I drove it today it would ruin the memory for me.

The whole point of rwd is that I want to be able to go and drift. Drifting is my favourite discipline of motorsport and it's had been since I was about 10. I really want to get more seat time because renting a car for drift days as I have done in the past is too expensive in the long run.

A car like the Volvo with its low power could really help me increase my skill as a drifter because of its low power, it's enough to get the tyres loose but you can only hold a prolonged drift if you know what you're doing. I'd love to learn that. 

I couldn't really care less about modern car features as I never use them anyway. Obviously I understand the safety differences but in London, you're not often going more than 20mph so it's not as big of a concern.

.. watched too much Initial D pal.

You do you.

That's not a bargain, This is a bargain, Even if you don't know exactly what your buying.

Well it's gotta be good if it costs £1200 right???

Facebook the home of all noob masters of their art.  Can't teach them nothing. I'm glad I came here as a noob. 

yep, 80% of the time its the tool. I havent stripped a single head since i got my mip's 

Yeah I drilled for agess and I accidentally drilled into the shaft. Tryna pry if off now.

What should I do about the medium sized hole in the shaft now?

Just put a longer grub screw in, less chance it will slip I guess. Can't imagine it will do too much harm.

I took the Kronos to work and it rained on and off all day 😆

I wanted to head out on the bike after getting a very early finish at work, but nope... Need to test my new Hero8 Black vlogging set up on my new helmet.

i had a thing like this a while ago when all the electronics decided to break  it sucks, but most of these chargers are pretty cheaply made so they dont last sometimes. batteries also under massive load as well, so they dont last forever. 

is your low voltage set right in the truggy ?

your not having lot of luck mate

I need to check it because one battery got discharged to 3.1v while the others were discharged to 3.5v so I'm gonna look over it.

Seems weird that my fake IMAX b6s have lasted longer than that lmao

@pieman5 the 3200 30c pack is the one I wanna run parallel because it can't supply enough. I already run the 4400 65c by itself and it's fine. I just had a bad landing with it and it puffed a bit.

@babylon i have seen a video of a chaps garage burnt down after a lipo went of and heard of another one that took out garage and part of the house

One of them videos has been doing the rounds since the beginning of time, You just won't find anything new out there. It's gonna happen to any type of battery at some time, Lipo's are no more or less dangerous as any other if not looked after, They all store energy.

Typically it would be called an output cup, because it's putting out power from the drivetrain to the wheels, that doesn't always transfer to every brand though.

Download the PDF manual dude, you'll never be stuck again

Didn't even think of doing that, thanks man 👍

diff outdrive.

you can ask you insurance company what is the least likely car to be stolen in your area. After all they dont want your car to be stolen so they dont have to pay you out and they will have lots of stats on it  

Disklok and Brakelock will deter thieves, of course. 

Admittedly, i'm too lazy to constantly faff around with locks when i just wanna run up town. A fiesta is quite fun to drive in the right circumstances, not sure that london traffic or motorway is one of them though. Indeed i'm pretty sure neither is. 

Well I've just put down a deposit for a 1.6 zetec s fiesta because the insurance isn't much more and it was a lot cheaper than the Ecoboost that I was looking at with the same milage.

i can smell melted nylon from here haha good luck bro go easy on that pullaway my advice lol 😆

Ran it for about 10 mins flat out and there's metal shavings everywhere 🤣. Still works though 🤷🏻‍♂️

i need to buy a micro soon haha 🤣

I was genuinely looking last night haha.

I've got a micro sct in pieces, but it has everything needed to run plus a whole extra cars worth of space parts. Only thing that needs doing is the motor wires to be soldered and the old pinion to be transferred to the new motor, which I have yet to figure out how to do. Probs will put it up for sale if I never figure it out.

Do your best to stay focussed mate. Education always gives you the best chance in life.

I'm trying to figure out a way I can get back to school to get a few more qualifications, so make the most of it while you have the time to spare!

If you try to study too much you'll burn out imho so a brief break every so often is a good thing but don't get too distracted as @Paul Busby is right that "Education always gives you the best chance in life". 

Study/work hard now whilst you're younger to get a good education followed by a good paying job so that you can work less when you're older and enjoy life more. 

And I'll put money on one of them being the S2 I see.

It really amazes me how strong that thing is. Thunder tiger really did a good job. This buggy is ancient and it still holds its own as a basher

Ah thanks. I was just wondering why it came with a cable like that. Either way it's all hooked up and works decently well which is good 👍

need the vtx part brudda unless you have a all in one cam/vtx etc the 6v is enough to power it but need the vtx for the signal display to send out etc

The vtx I'm running says it needs minimum 7v so I had to hook it up to a 2s lipo

Honestly I am most likely not your age demographic that this video is aimed at so don't take what I say to much to heart just thought I would give you some feedback as you asked...

Overall I found it interesting to watch.

I'd have liked to have seen a bit more of the transformation taking place. E.g. Some of the wrenching you did to add the upgrade parts. Even if it was speeded up or just pictures transitioning.

I'm not a fan of your music choice sorry but everyone has different tastes when it comes to music so you can never please all of the people, ..tbf though it did kind of go well with what was happening at the time on screen but I just prefer to hear the motors of the RC's most of the time.

I also didn't like the slinging of parts onto your desk at the start of the video but that could just me being a bit of an old fart. 😂   😉

Thanks bro appreciated. I did film lots of wrenching, but when I looked over the footage it was pretty rubbish, too dark and grainy. I need a better lights setup ahaha.

I've got a wider taste in music so it's not gonna be all trap 😂. I think it matches RC stuff quite well 😉.  I'll take it all into consideration though 👍

We all waited a month for that.😁

You'll need to do some soldering, I'd research that first, it's nothing particularly hard, but not quite plug and play. 

I’m using a modular PC one I had lying around. It’s 650w and totally silent unless I’m charging 2 6s batteries, even then the chargers themself are louder and the PSU just hums gently.

i didn’t modify the box either, so I can put it back in a PC if I need too.

Almost any PC/server PSU will do the job, a single 12v rail is preferable.

Should I just get 3 of the ones Babylon linked?

Fastrax and GPM are the same (in my experience at least). I bought a "fastrax" part, however when I took it out the packet it had "GPM" engraved onto it.

I would also say that the grade of metal, fit, and finish are pretty.... Chinese... but then this isnt a slash 4x4 driveshaft, its a tower brace... so YMMV.

If I have an issue then I might buy a pair of fastrax ones as they're not too expensive. But if I don't then there's no need 🤷🏻‍♂️

I tried the Fastrax ones and had issues. Don't use the grub screws that come with them. They are softer than butter and you'll strip the heads out just looking at them.

I went back to Traxxas stock ones and they have been fine.

Safe bro 👍

Way better. 

Like night and day, it's also less shaky due to higher fps. Now you just gotta remember not to use portrait mode, and maybe make the intention of the video a bit clearer.

edit: not less shaky, but less abrupt, if that makes sense. 

Yeah ik exactly what you mean. The video was jittering on that low bitrate
