I've Just seen Hobbyking has the Turnigy one for sale (but out of stock) for the same price as the USA store, so that shows me the UK stockist I found is a rip off, as it is over double the price!!

I took my Truggy to the track for the first time at the weekend (only been a park basher, never done tracks before) and I must say, I loved it! I was terrible and couldn't complete a lap without hitting something, but it was great fun lol. i'm going to take the Nitro Buggy this weekend as the guys there all said the track is not ideal for a Brushless Truggy, it is easier to drive with a Nitro Buggy due to the layout and size. A couple of the guys had Pit Buddies for there Nitro Cars and Starter Boxes, I asked where they got them and they just said search for a "Pit Buddy" on line and i should find them. (they were friendlier than that lol, but that was the gist of it) Well, I can't find them anywhere, does anyone make them still? if so, does anyone know where I can get them? Google isn't bringing much up to be honest, I have found a place in the USA that sells the Turnigy Trackstar Universal Pitbuddy but they do not ship to the UK, and then there is a store in the UK that also sells the same one, but it is over double the price of the American one, so I don't really want to buy that one if they are ripping me off, I want to get a rough price for them, if they are round the price of the UK one then I will pay it, but if they are closer to the US version, I don't want to pay what the UK place is selling for as i'm not a fool lol. Pictures for reference. Turnigy Trackstar Pitbuddy…. Non specified Pit Buddy....

Hi All, My truggy has lights on it (fitted by previous owner) they are plugged into Channel 3 on the Receiver but are on a permanent live feed so always on. I wanted them to be switched via the 3rd channel on my Transmitter so i bought an RC Light Switch from ebay. It arrived yesterday and i plugged it all in as per the video on Youtube that the auction directed me too and it doesn't work, the lights do not even turn on, let alone switch on and off as i expected. I messaged the seller and he told me that the switches only work with a 6v feed and as i am using 4s Li-Po's with 14.8v the switch will not work. I was wondering how people get these switches working on their vehicles as i imagine a 6v feed would mean the vehicle would be extremely slow. if i want the lights to work, do i have to have them permanantly on? or is there a way to make the switch work with my set up?

I sold it on.

Sent. cheers

Yes, 2nd Class is fine, i'm busy this weekend so can't really do anything with it anyway

Cool, i'll take it. send me your PayPal details and i will send it over now.

Hi, how much to post this out?

I'll have a look as the controller i have given him is about 15 years old and is proper basic, i've not really looked at it to be honest.

Nice one, thank you. It currently has the Max8 Combo in it, so i think i will just tone it down with a decent Transmitter and that way i can keep the Rolling chassis as spares as its the same Buggy.

Brilliant, thank you, Yes, fingers crossed he likes it as i then have a perfect excuse to go to the track and the Mrs can't say anything as i will blame my Son lol. I didn't even think about end points, that's a great shout. it would be cheaper to buy a better Transmitter with End Point adjustments etc. than getting a new ESC and Motor set up.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to get my Son into the Hobby, he is 14yrs old and spends his life on the PS4 lol. Want to get him out and in the fresh air, and when lockdown is lifted get him over a track. I have a Brushless Buggy that I have been letting him use but its too powerful for him and my Nitro is a bit complicated for him to start off with as he can't get to grips with starting it, let alone the tuning side I have a rolling Chassis for another buggy that I could build him a new car from. I would make it Brushless for now, so my question would be, if I put an ESC and motor COMBO designed for a 1/10 model into a 1/8 Buggy, would that give him a slower buggy to start with, or would this just kill the ESC?

I am trying to find a Body for a Kyosho Inferno SS US Sports Truggy. I can't seem to find one anywhere, Looking at google and seeing some build threads, I think i will be able to make either the Kyosho Inferno Neo Body or the Mugen MBX8T shell fit. But i can't find any of these in stock either. Where do people buy Shells from? any good recommendations for people that have a good stock of shells usually. Preferably i would like either the Original Shell or the Neo Shell, but the Mugen one will do if i can't get them.

Yes, thats why i went for 25% in the end.
