    Loaded up my new Tamiya Bag, actually made by Carson, but was only £24 and its huge!

    The Egress is awaiting a servo but at least it made it out the house

    Really like that BBX (Egress looks good too), Tamiya are really good at evoking the Retro nostalgia.

    All looks really nice, I'd love to build one of these one day.

     

    EXCEPT that rear skid plate looks a bit rough! if you want I can cut one for you for a few quid, just need the dimensions or a DXF or send me one.

    Hi @Candyman, appreciate the offer it is a bit rough, there are two, the rough one is for when the chassis is set up on the long wheel base, I have fitted a different one now as I'm running in the standard wheelbase.

    Other than the finish on this one part, it’s really nicely made.

     

    Will speak to Willspeed about this one, and see what the say.

     

    if you want one there is one left on FF Racing 😉

  3. I have recently picked up a Willspeed conversion kit, this is designed and made in the UK for the current 1/10 TLR 22 5.0 Elite buggy, it uses the complete front end from the TLR and also the rear arms, axels, diff, spur  and C & D blocks too.

    Kit comes with:

     

    1x Billet Aluminium Main Chassis
    1x Billet Aluminium Chassis Kick Up Section
    1x 5 Gear Billet Aluminium Transmission Case
    1x Billet Aluminium Motor Mount
    2x Carbon Fibre Tower Uprights
    1x Billet Aluminium Rear Shock Mount
    1x Billet Aluminium Rear Link Vertical Ball Stud Mount
    3x Machined Idler Gear with premium ball bearings

     

    My intention is to set this up and use it for indoor Carpet racing .

     

    finished the basic build now, just waiting on ESC and Motor.

    The top one is a Doorok; a 3D printed frame from Tiny4x4.

     

    https://www.tiny4x4.com/orlandoo-hunter/kits/doorok-132-rock-racer-kit/

     

    It came with the usual plastic Orlandoo 4x4 parts, and snazzier wheels and tyres, but i broke a few bits and decided to buy metal parts instead. I've yet to construct a skid plate without hearing the dreaded snap. 😊

    Like that, looks like it could resemble the Ford Broncho Desert racer, can you get body’s/panels for it?

    How are you liking the UKMonsters parts?

    All good, nicely made, well thought out and fit well. The Independent front suspension kit is really good, transforms the way it drives, for some this may be a bad thing as it takes away some of its madness, but I like it.  Highly recommend the parts.

  6. Really like the look of this new Baja Rey from Losi, emailed Horizon Hobby and they said they don’t know if or when there will be a Uk/European release.

    have bough a fair few bits from Amain in the states and not been hit with import duties. 
    with this being over $500 do we think it’s likely I will get clobbered with these (I know we have to pay it, but it’s nice when it doesn't happen).

    what sort of percentages are we talking on top of the cost price?

    That's one of the jobs I need to address on it, it's really slow. Apparently the motor is in some way adjustable?

     

    It's old but runs and moves freely, just really disappointingly slow.

     

    Any tips from the past?

    Would be worth checking the brushes, not sure how easy replacements are to find, worth posting up on the Iconic Rc page on Facebook with the motor name and some images, there are quite a few people who run these in the vintage stuff.
