  2. Our family cat (my avatar) died this morning.  Went to let him out and he was just motionless in his bed.  Seemed fine last night, must have been a heart condition we weren't aware of.  All devastated, particularly the kids, he was one of the family... ☹️

  4. Gah I can’t decide. MT10 on 2s, MT8, widemaxx, outcast on 5s or just bite the bullet and finally get the dream rc - namely an xmaxx. I’ve wanted a 1/5 mt for like forever - ever since I first saw a fg monster beetle 😵💫

     

    Any other single pack MT’s I should be looking at?

      There was a losi lst on the for sales section, not a maxx but about as big as one and no were near the price but half as durable maybe.

  7. So, i am thinking about closing down my facebook RC Traildrivers UK group, it just has not grown any thing like it should of done, still only about 15 members after nearly a year of being up and running

      As I'm part of your group, here's what i notice / my 2c. They dont tend to grow when stagnant, no new posts / events... etc. Nothing to draw in new comers or things to keep em comin back. Same goes for youtube etc gotta feed the algorithm.

  8. Went to a local Facebook RC club/group meet today. What a poop show.
    Maybe 25+ people there and although friendly enough people there it was really dangerous. 
    Was held on a small industrial estate type area. I was there for maybe 15 minutes before I saw some poor guy (maybe in his late 40's early 50's) get wiped out by a huge 10kg+ monster truck. Literally took his legs out and smashed him to the ground.
    Driver was apologetic obviously but there was no safety or basic rules arranged by any of the so called club leaders. 
    I've spoken to the guy who got hit and he's actually in a lot of pain now, ...hurt his back & ribs as well as a few cuts/bruises. 
    I stayed for only a short while after that accident then left. Didn't even bother taking my RC truck out of the car in the end so slowly discharging my batteries now back to storage charge. Waste of a day.

      Sadly rules are needed as some people leave their common sense at home, going to an event and returning injured due to no fault of your own isnt good form.
      This is why BRCA exists also... Sad to hear the event wast good G, compared to Rossa I can imagine many events wouldnt stack up, its so proffesionally run.

  9. YouTube finally managed to get rid of dislikes.  But it just makes the likes pointless now.  also tutorial videos  are going to be a minefield

    1. Redback

      Redback

      Its odd as one account shows dislikes but on my old google account it doesnt show dislikes... There was a setting were you could just turn the amount of likes and dislikes off.
      I dont think it was due to people getting hurt feelings, i feel its more to do with the massive dislike waves that new game releases and trailers get because they are garbage and the big companies dont like it as it makes them look as bad as they really are, so made / paid google to turn it off.

      Cleans it to look like new, not a gloss finish and doesnt leave a sticky film that attracts dust.

      I'd say its better than either of them, i used to use them but have had a bottle of corrosion x and its lasted me 2 years so far.
      Propper good waterproofer, brings dead RX back to life, prevents rust way better than the others too. I wont use anything else now.

  18. so still wanting a TRX4 Ranger XLT, may have to sell of all but one of my other cars to fund it might not be such a bad idea though as not using all the cars, even new flux 80HD has only been run on street just once

      Imo the bronco shells quite tough but as you say costly, yet to crack the shell on mine but its started to fail in places mostly on the plastic inserts where the screws mount,Get an expensive model, pay the expensive repair price... You could sell all your models if your only going to trail drive. But i dont think you will enjoy it as much as you expect, ive never fallen in love with mine, i like the difflocking but its barely used (unlocked) unless im sending it. So full of frills but no thrills.

  19. can someone recommend a sledge hammer.

      All id say is go wood handle, fiberglass is crap and hurts way more from experience doing demolition work

      I guess its a bit of an open ended question, wasnt making fun of you, depends what your wanting to do, demolition work? breaking concrete? Hitting in posts?
      You after a full size, half size, what weight you wanting to swing? You wanting something that will last, whats your budget, fiskar level or bnq prices? Theres so many choices out there.

      So use your crawlers, your fs clone will perform just a good if not better than a stock trx4 and costs half the price, take off the rainbow glasses and see they are not the pinacle of trucks and not worth you selling all your kit for. Id sell mine as barely drive it, its just a basher really as doesnt perform as good as my cheaper crawlers by a mile. maybe its just me doing it wrong but id say you need to put half the cost into brass and wheels to get it to the point were they are a good drive and ive put the cost into the wheels, its a good training crawler for the lad as i can sure he wont break it as they do take a beating.
