  1. Hey guys n girls, as title says looking for recommendations on stick transmitters both for myself and my kids. I got bk in2 RC cars cupla years ago at age of 35, I raced as a teenager, I was always a stick man but I bought a pistol type snd I just can't get in2 the swing of it, I have much more control with a stick as it was what I grew up with I guess 🤷‍♂️ and recently built a lunchbox for my lad so he's needing 1 aswel. Any recommendations appreciated folks, and don't know if there is a smaller scale transmitter for kids
  2. Talk batteries to me folks! How are you all powering your midnight pumpkins? Basically got 1 of these from my wife for Xmas (I am experienced in RC) recently built a 3S powered neo scorcher ect getting back in2 the hobby after a lot of years! Are folk still using the NIMH batteries? This was originally my plan but starting to think now a 2S lipo will be a good option as I now have a bit of knowledge about the lipo plus got the charger for ballance charging etc... unsure about motor yet but won't be stock, not mental either possible 1 of my old racing brushed motors but unsure Let me know what yous are using folks. Merry Christmas

  4. hi guys I'm running brushless system on my neo scorcher,hobbywing max 10 and 3300kv motor. I'm thinking of getting a programme card to make it easier to programme as right now I'm programming it through the flashing of esc,which is a bit of a pain lol. Anyone using a card on ther hobbywing system? ? Are they much better ,and are there different ones ect. Thanx in advance
  5. Jeez o I'm actualy quite surprised by the replies, was half expect folk to be like, if youv not used it in cupla month its for the bin 😂😂 abit of good news 👌
  6. Thanx guys 👍 I will get a look at the cells 2night see what they are sitn at
  7. Ment to add, its a overlander 3S 50c battery
  8. Hey guys bn a little while since posting on here and as title, looking to see what's best for my lipo battery as its not getting regular use. Its always at storage charge and kept in the house at room temp in a lipo bag. Prob not bn fully charged in 2-3 months, should I charge it and then storage charge again?? I do plan to charge over weekend and use it to give it a cycle. Cheers peeps
  9. Cheers fella. Doesn't get used alot tbh... Probably due to the nature of the build ie... Lipo 3s ect.. Can't jst charge it n plod about the back door anymore, far to quick for that + obv looking after the battery ect...
  10. Hey guys n gals as title says I have a 3300kv hobbywing brushless system with max10 ESC. I know obv the ESC is prity much maintenance free but as for the motor, is there any servicing to be done to maintain it? Only been used a total of 2-3 hours but wld obv carry out any servicing to it if required. Cheers 👍
  11. Hi gays n gals,last year I got back into rc cars (was a big hobby of mine growing up) now 34 years old. I bought a tamiya neo scorcher last year and went to work on it. 3s overlander, full ball raced, hobbywing 3300 brushless system ect... Very quick little thing, anyway I was always used to stick transmitter growing up and I could work it good. I'm aware times change and most ore gun type now and I bought a gun type but being out only 3-4 times I'm kinda missing the stick type. Question is do I give it more time to get used to it or buy a stick type. I posted about transmitters b4 and majority of folk wer gun type on RC cars. Any input much appreciated as always
  12. Thanx alot mate. I will try my best to get 1. If not at least I have the metal bevel gear which is the part at fault. And the main big gear. Altho I'm not sure if the big gear has same screw holes and will fit my standard diff case. Hey ho 😎😎😎
  13. Thanx again for reply. U dnt have a link for the diff case by any chance? Hopefully this will strengthen it up abit lol obv I know it will. I know running 3s ect through this model may be too much for the design but I'm a modifying type of guy... And it is just so much fun on loose gravel, short grass
  14. If your car is is stock and ur going through bevel gears I think I shld probably go for metal gears ect. I did think of jst possibly getting another standard plastic bevel gear but realy the power going through mine there is probably no point. I'm looking at fitting the DF02 gears now. 20 quid from model sport and that gives you metal bevel gear (which I know needs 1mm took off the back) and metal big gear. It gives you the metal small becel gears which go in the diff but to use these you need the DF02 diff casing which is different from the tt02b one. But I do think the main problem here is the bevel pinion gear so getting this kit u can use the bevel gear which is metal. And I also seen the bevel gear sold separately from DF02 which was only a few quid. Obv still needs filed down
