Little bump for the weekend. Prices are just my initial thoughts so feel free to offer.

Hi all, Life has got busy and I don't have the time to enjoy all the cars in my collection - hence looking to sell some. Also have some other random bits which have sat in a cupboard for a few years now. Really open to feedback, questions, offers and people coming to look. Hobao Hyper VS Nitro - Semi Roller - £150 This car has only been used a handful of times before a battery disconnect caused the engine (NovaRossi below) to over rev and break the piston 😞 ! As you can see, it's in great condition with the only notable damage being a cracked rear wing, but is perfectly usable. I have included a few spare wings, along with servos, air filter and the original box and manual. Hobao Hyper 7 - Almost RTR- £150 This was my original RC car which has been a lot of fun over the years. It has a large amount of upgrades (e.g. CNC hubs, lot's of aluminium ) and hence is fairly bullet proof 🙂 . Comes with everything for RTR with the exception of - TX/RX, Starter box (engine pull start removed), Fuel and Glow starter. Also have a load of spare parts including a shell, chassis and loads of other bits. Thunder Tiger ST-1 Brushless Conversion - Roller - £150 Something a little different which was my first brushless setup. It's originally a TT ST-1 with a large number of upgrades and then a brushless conversation composing of a motor mount, battery tray and speed controller holder. Comes with 2 shells which have both seen a fair amount of action lol. Spektrum DX3 - TX & RX - £50 If you fancy some old skool action than this is for you! Fully working and ready to go. NovaRossi Bonito 21-7XLB - Broken Piston/Rod - £50 As mentioned above, this engine was in the VS but the battery disconnected with the throttle open and it broke the Piston/Rod. The sleeve and all other internals seem fine so I have tried to get it replaced but I'm looking at around £120 and it doesn't feel a sensible spend. Selling for spares or repair hence very open to offers. Hobao .21 Turbo Pull Start + bits - £25 Found at the back of a cupboard and very open to offers.

Hey all, I have had a Switchblade Kill Switch (purchased from RCmodelz) in my 30DNT for some months and it’s been flawless. Was out earlier and the engine cut and upon investigation the kill switch LED is just static ON. This status isn’t in the instructions so any help would be great. I have checked all connections and they seem good. I also search the forum and found a topic with the same issue described which turned out to be a faulty unit.

Hi guys, Advice please after an electrical malfunction caused a full throttle incident which blew my con rod and piston on my Novarossi 😪 . The rest of the engine all seems ok, inc the sleeve, so wanted advice on what you think I should do. Seems like I can get this bundle for about £120 ( https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153731744429 ) but not sure if it’s worth it? Thoughts? Fix or just replace with a whole new engine? James

Hey! Link doesn't seem to be working?

All ordered now so thanks again for all the guidance! One thing I have read is a good upgrade is replacing the stock steering bell crank assembly with one from a Losi 5T 2.0 - any thoughts?

Wow - thanks for all the advice guys! Just need to work out how I tell the wife that I have brought another car now 😉

Good shout! Was also thinking shock and diff oils so any recommendations would be great. What about chassis / transmission upgrades to proactively reduce common failure?

Hi guys, I’m about to treat myself to my first 1/5 scale with the purchase of a 30DNT Stadium Truck. I plan to rebuild out of the box and wanted thoughts on the essential upgrades to include. Assume around £150 budget for upgrades 😁 . Thanks, James

My thinking was the beer will help with the conversion to brush less !

Hey, Sorry - all sold as of yesterday. James

Yup - only thing left now is one roller.

Yup

Sorry but would prefer not to see just a shell

Bump

Rainy Tuesday bump. Set 2 Roller and Electrics bundles available still.

£130 chap. This will include me putting it all together and showing you it running. You will just need - 8 AAs for the controller, a glow stick, fuel and tools.

UPDATE - Set 1 RTR, the 'Nitro Engine' bundle of set 2 and all the electronics SOLD. Set 2 Roller available still My first for sale post so sorry in advance if I c**k it up 🙃 ! I need to slim down my collection due to a pending house move and a new '1 in 1 out' RC rule from the Wife. I brought these two Hyper 7 TQs a while back with the intention of converting both to brushless for my kids. I stripped them down, gave them a clean up and then time moved on and both the kids now want crawlers, which to be fair, is more sensible anyway. I have bundled the bits together for ease but will look too split if that's what people end up wanting. The prices below are exc P&P and per set of bits which as you can see I have 2 of each. Always happy to provide more info/pictures if anyone wants. Roller £90 - inc Roller, Shell (which are in super pristine condition and I re-enforced the mounts with fibreglass tape), Servo Mount and Receiver Case Electrics £20 - inc Transmitter, Receiver, Futaba S3001 Servo, Syncro KS-200 Servo Nitro Engine £25 - Inc Carb, Air Filter, Exhaust, Fuel Tank. One is pull start, the other is for use with a starter box RTR Bundle £130 - which will involve me putting it all together and showing you it running either in person or video call Picture time.... All the bits Set 1 (one on the left) - ALL SOLD Set 2 (one on the right - only roller left

It's arrived!! Wahooooo!! However, I have search his forum and the internet for some guidance on how to install the various MBX6 buggy brushless conversion parts but come up blank. Has anyone seen/got anything before I try and work it out by trial and error?

Well last time I moaned you helped so I know you are a man who can 🤣 I'm going to take it on the chin and just enjoy the brushless conversion once it arrives. Spent the last hour down at the local sorting office trying to convince them to hand it over now I have paid the fee but they were very 'computer says no' 😞 . @Nick - got any Royal Mail contacts 😆 ? <joke>

Thanks for the thoughts. lol - yes - bad typo as I meant Mike. Nick has been a star!

The saga continues! Finally got an emailed saying the item was shipped last week thanks to @Nick. However, today I check the delivery status and Royal Mail want another £16 to cover VAT & 'handling' charge. Question/thoughts - Do you think it's fair for me complain to Nick as I do feel this has taken a long time and cost a lot?

Thank you so much. I will DM the details of the order.

Hmmmm....registration on the forum is disabled and asked you contact them manually via the ‘contact’ page . Have already tried the ‘contact’ page which just links back the mike@ email. Does anyone have a login and could possibly post a ‘are you alive’ question possibly?

Hi. Haven’t posted on the forum but will now I haven’t heard anything. Have tried that email a few times and get a generic “we will respond soon” message back.
