  1. I still have mine, but like @Stormbringermine hasn't been out for quite a while. I check the LiPo every so often and top up the storage charge when needed though
  2. From everything I've read, the MG4 isn't fully one pedal driving, it'll do most of the braking etc but not come to a complete stop (unless the automatic emergency brake kicks in) It was a bit busy on the short drive home, but my left foot did want to find the clutch! All being well, I'll take it for a spin tomorrow and get a few miles under my belt. Don't fancy a 'virgin' trip on the M4 first thing Monday morning!! Ta for the offer of help
  3. From Bridgend, but drive into Cardiff for work. Just spent a good 45 mins nosing into the tech....there's a lot to get used to, so I'm going to concentrate on the actual driving for a bit first.
  4. @m4inbrain I went for the Trophy in Blue! Just need to get used to a new style of driving and all the tech it comes with
  5. Collecting one of these tomorrow, My first new car in 23 years. First car with no gearbox and first electric one.
  6. Have a look here, https://www.quadifyrc.com/rccarreviews/sg-1603-sg-1604-review-and-the-simple-fixes-that-are-critical Some of the fixes such as the shortening of the stock shocks seem to have been sorted as mine didn't extend as far as in the review. and also this guy has a few videos showing some mods https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgyiGHj8F759pVhUnCbHOfg/videos I got the Panther version and upgraded the diffs, shocks and added a set of the black wheels/tarmac tyres. I made a WRC style rear wing too.
  7. EBike tax innit Let me guess its also spent most of its life in Boost/Turbo
  8. Gravel Bike = Hardtail MTB with curly bars
  9. Typical bike owner showing no mechanical sympathy for their bike. I (and no doubt @LunsfordRich ) have seen much worse!
  10. I had seen them when fatbikes were more of 'a thing', but like you had no reason to buy one. If I was to have only 'one bike to do it all', I think it would be along the lines of a 150mm full sus fatbike with a motor. But I do like the option to choose.
  11. Nice couple of bikes there @LunsfordRich I have in my collection... 2015 Trek Farley 6 Fatbike 2016 Cube Stereo 140 C62 SL Octane One Prone (built up from spares I had lying around) 2020 Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 Action Team E-Bike And from 'back in the day' some wall art..... 2000 Mountain Cycle Tremor FR-1 2002 Mountain Cycle Shockwave 9Point5
  12. Have a look way back on page 8 of this thread where I was looking at Gmade piggy back shock as a possible upgrade. @everclear1984 mentioned TRX 4 shocks and linked to their GTS shocks, also, @Jimboi linked to the Element enduro shocks as an option. I went with Gmade XD Aeration shocks which work great, but need modified upper mounts to fit. Pinch the ones of your dad's for a test run 🤣
  13. Depends on how the new shocks are measured, eye centre to eye centre they should be 90mm, but if total overall extended length then 100mm. Just followed the link from @Jack Reacher and you'll need the 90mm ones
  14. Is that how all of the shocks are assembled? Those 'O' rings and black 'top hats' should all be in the bottom section of the shock. This picture from the manual is how they should be assembled. Try that first and see if it improves things. You may need to lightly sand the piston (part no 230041)to a slightly smaller diameter in order for it to slide smoothly and not bind inside the body.
  15. Maybe this would help with your next set of mirrors. Can't take any credit for finding this as it was posted in the DC-1 thread by @Jack Reacher
