    Hi James. I am in Romsey, near Southampton. Wouldn't mind driving to Portsmouth or maybe meeting in the middle somewhere. I am fairly new to the hobby and haven't found any good bashing spots yet. Our local skate park is always extremely busy. 

     

    Hey man. Ah nice one, I know Romsey a little bit as i've worked over that way a few times in recent years. I'm not new to RC's myself but instead returning to the hobby after a far too lengthy break! Picked up a WL toys buggy which is a bit of fun & soon gonna get my old nitro Losi LST monster truck up & running again (hopefully!).  Also gonna treat myself to a 1/10th brushless truggy at the end of this month so that will most likely become #1 basher :rc_car:


    Yeah mate i'm definitely up for meeting somewhere, I know a few really good spots around my area. But depends if you're willing to come all the way to Portsmouth? Either way  i'm up for it so we can try and get something organised soon. I've sent you a PM 👍

    Born Petersfield, grew up in Cowplain then moved to Copnor, till i ended up in the north of England

     

    Ah really, haha. That's quite funny. I know all of those areas well. I grew up  as a young kid in Denmead, then moved to Horndean when I was about 11.  Always out with my mates in the Cowplain/Waterlooville vicinity. Lived down in Eastney, so not too far from copnor,  for a couple of years when I was 18/19 and now currently living in Finchdean. Been here quite a  while now. It's lovley. So how come you ended up moving to the North of the country then?

    You're welcome bud. And haha, that's good news then. 

     

    Oh nice one, where abouts did you used to live then?  

    Now what do I do? :( (not a broken post lol)

    Well I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with sticking with what you know. Buying new tends to be the best option in most cases, and maybe most especially here because the parts for the HPI may be hard to source now that they've been discontinued. 

     

    So really it just depends on whether you're willing to give the Rovan a go and hope that's its similar enough to your old Baja for you to enjoy it the same way.

    Hi there mate, welcome to the forum 👍

     

    That's a shame that HPI have stopped making them now. But there is an alternative! There's a company that makes a copy of the old baja and they're meant to be pretty decent (fast & reliable enough).

     

    At the moment they're only £360 on Banggood if you want to take a look
