Thanks all for the help. Been looking at all sorts too much choice. Been seeing a lot of big rocks etc not build yourself but they can take a beating

Never heard of a scratch build, is this a make it yourself using any kind of parts?

Yeah not my cuppa but know what you mean.

Looks like a nice bit of kit that.

Hey all 👋🏻 Looking to build something, electric. Now, I’m after a hard build which will take some time to compete not too worried about costing to a degree as long as it’s worth it. Would prefer off road only, so buggy or big monster truck type. Anyone got any recommendations? Thanks

Thought I’d show hog progress. Just to fit new shocks, spray wheels chrome and fit new motor, then all done.

Agree, last car i had was a manta ray thats how far back i go lol this is for the kids but i've bought a fair bit already, longer wheelie bar, foam inserts, suspension is on its way, 3rd shock (well the rod) and as i have been building it seen the plastic gears etc, so may replace them one day. more power will come once the kids can handle it

Ignore this. Delete please.

I’m putting the mod on now so that’ll help but just wondered. Thanks

Could someone help me out on the axle holder assembly? Putting the axle spring and not sure if it stays across or gets bent up and over the screw? Thanks

Nice work and videos there. Is the 4 shocks overkill or work well? I’ve ordered the strut off eBay I’ve ordered the paint, gone for light blue and Pearl lacquer to finish it off hopefully it’ll look good. The new lb I have may be different from older versions. In the instructions it has a servo saver and the improved wishbone arms so that was interesting but may be wrong lol Looking forward to letting the kids loose and I’ll fly my heli around it

Only me again. I’ve been looking through loads. I saw some alloy threaded rod somewhere so I can make my own struts and do the servo centering but have lost it can’t for the lift of me find it again Anyone here book marked such stuff? Thanks

As per title, let me know what you have please for a project I’m wanting to try. I’m based in the UK. Thanks

I’ve come across this place on Facebook. They do vinyl wraps for inside of clear shells. Going to order some if anyone wants any whilst I’m ordering, they’re from the states. Unless anyone knows of a UK supplier

Out of curiosity did anyone ever get a scale shell for these like monster jam trucks? Will most 1/12 scale shells fit with a little hole drilling?

Hi oodboo, Thank you very much for that information will make life a lot easier. It's for my 4 and 6 year old so you know it'll be crashed at some point. so speed wont be too important yet but it will need some grunt to get up skateboard ramps and little hills lol Been looking at vinyl wraps for the shell which I will need to grab a clear one and spray up the supplied as something similar

Hi Storm. yeah been through 71 pages worth lol lots of info but being old a lot of links have now been removed. I noticed the lights like you linked. will get them along with the shocks, brace kit, bearings and supports. Loads can be done lol

Looking at old links, many gone now due to age, wanting to start with shocks and brace kit, plus the lights as mentioned above. Do you guys have a go to site for all lunchbox mods? thanks

Hi guys, I have just won this on a facebook group and looking to sort mods also. Looking to put some lights on the box etc, would i require a controller that has more than standard channels?

The DX6 storm

Hi all. Have a 230V2 basic that I’m mainly learning on along with a nano s2. Bought an old Blade 450 3D as a build up and project which I’m having issues with. Anyway, is there anyone near Essex that is fluent in helicopter setting up that I could pay to set up as necessary?

I defo need to look into it, pressing panic shouldn't increase anything but then I'm not sure lol
