I wouldn't bother with the hitachi ones, we had 4 in the space of 6 weeks, all failed with different faults. got a refund in the end. Bought a Samsung from John Lewis, free delivery and free 5 year gaurantee. well worth a look.

Sounds promising, pm me a price and a few pictures if you could a we will see what we can sort out Cheers

I asked modelsport to price match on a new cars for my lad just before Christmas, they nocked a few quid off the car and did me a bundle deal on a hump pack and fuel. ended up with a better deal than the other shops and was all delivered next day. Great service all in all.

My lad has some Christmas money burning a massive hole in his pocket so has decided to buy a 2nd hand touch. Has any body got one for sale? Cheers & Merry Christmas

www.vistaprint.co.uk are reasonable, had loads of free or very cheap stuff from there in the past.

Cheers Rich, yes on a tripod and a remote trip, my arms arn't that steady!

The Velbon one must be 20 years old as its the same one as mine, Its been a good tripod but not good with a long lense on.

There are some fantastic images on here, they are a great source of inspiration to total photographic numpties like me:blush: Came in tonight and thought the moon looked moody, very low and big. Grabbed the camera and fired off a few dozen pics, this one seemed the best so i cropped it a bit:- (captured using Canon EOS 550D, f/5.6 1/20 exposure iso 200 using 300m f5.6 lense) Comments are welcome but please don't be too brutal as its my first post in here!

You can download a free trial of solidworks that lasts for 5 months if you are a student or still at school, failing that you can download autodesk inventor (does the same) for a 30 day trial.

It would need some pretty high gearing with a max engine speed of 102rpm. I wonder if my starter box will need upgrading:whistling:

It is possible to turbocharge a 2 stroke diesel engine, this ones a bit big for your average baja though:ph34r: Interesting engine if you like big numbers!

I thought it was too good to be true!! what about this charger then? i have been looking at the imax b6 chargers on ebay but after ordering one a couple of weeks ago that never turned up i am thinking i would rather go to a shop and buy one:closedeyes:

Just been looking for a new mains & 12v lipo balance charger and ended up going round in circles a bit:helpsmilie: This seems a good deal - what do you think? cheers

Thanks for all the info guys, i think i need some time to consider this little venture as i can see it costing a fair few quid!! Thanks again

As above, my son is pestering me for one of these for Christmas after seeing one one the evil that is Youtube! He wants to use it outdoors on calm days in a local field, has anybody got one or have any experience of them at all? I would rather he got the rtf version for now as i don't want to spend anothe

Looks like i am going to have to work tomorrow, i wil stick the cars in the boot and call in on my way home if i can get finished at a reasonable time:( If i don't make it i hope you all have a good bash and don't break too much. Cheers

Fair Comment Rich, i have had problems years ago with the SLRs and cheap filters but took a punt on this one as i was ordering other stuff and as yet cant fault it, even took some test shots with a Hoya, Jessops & this one & unless its my tired eyes i can't tell any difference. Perhaps i have been lucky and the poor optical quality has just been masked by my poor photography in general! I will post some pics up later this week if i get chance, took a few moon shots last week and managed to get some half decent exposures. I suppose you pays your money & takes your pic:ph34r:

Carl We have a few filters from our SLR days but i bought one of these last week: -http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140432171218, Can't really grumble for that price. I have put it at the side of my Hoya filter and can't really see much difference (not at my level of photography anyway). They do all of the useual thread sizes. I have bought a few bits from them like remote controls and lenses in the last few weeks and delivery has been spot on. Worth a look anyway and cheaper than jessops in Wakey! Cheers

Put me and my lad down as possibles Will, i might nip over with a savage and the slayer (both on Speccy) Depends on weather and time but i might get chance to have 1/2 hour:good: cheers

just been having a quick scan through the news and came across this: - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-north-west-wales-11514385 Makes a change to see a positive move towards an rc track for a change, pity it's only electric though. shame its 130 miles away from me!! Best of luck to all involved though:good:

So thats me confused as well now then? I charge mine via the balance lead plugged into a prolux lipo charge balancer which then plugs into the banana plug charge ouput from my pro-peak prodigy II charger. Am i doing this right?

PM Sent

Thanks for the offer mate but i think it will be out of the price range that i was looking at

Can you recommend a reliable seller? Also what would be the best size to go for (bearing in mind the rest of the macnumm is made of cheese ) Cheers
