    How do I delete my attachments to clear up storage space? I've got 6mb left and clicked my profile > attachments but it just shows me my own attachments with no option to delete.

      IMO in a world where Facebook is free and you can post as much as you want limiting members who aren't gold seems counter intuitive to grow a forum.

      ^ agreed. I guess my expectations may have been a bit too high when I thought the extra hosting space through Gold was user manageable. Through a work around of editing past posts and deleting items, it is, but that's not the best user experience.

    Hobao DC1 - about to pull the trigger on one, any reason not? Use case: for our daughter, just need something that goes slow, isn't FTX and hopefully won't break into many pieces if it falls over. @Stormbringer your son mentioned something about shocks being doo doo and you upgrading them...what's the crack on this model?

      In that case get her to read the build thread for it 

      Theres a couple of builds in the dc1 owners thread

      I think this one is going to live on a shelf for a bit. 

       

      I have a rebuilt and serviced 4.0 with spare parts to probably last a life time lol - and I don't want to sell as it was partly a gift from my wife, plus after all the effort put into it, just doesn't seem right to let it go. 

       

    3. Lone-wolf

      Lone-wolf

      Keep a grab an go car just in case, you may find a great spot to run a car, if you dont find you use it then sell it at a later date

    4. Bert_w164

      Bert_w164

      Sound advice @Jack Reacher...that solidifies keeping the 4.0 even more 😁 as it goes I'm moving towards your neck of the woods, well actually further North. 

       

      Who knows might meet you one day, if so I'd love to see a plane in action and I do have a few losis at this point lol

  5. Bert_w164

    Life got busy, so no RC stuff for a bit...Came back into the hobby yesterday and thanks to @Yrkoon, not one, but another two cars have been purchased. Opps!

      I had been looking to buy a receiver and a set of wheels for a few weeks.  so that's all i got.  not going to look at the other nice things.

  8. Bert_w164

    "I'm being good and not buying any RC stuff this month"

      i have sold close to 20 cars this year. So i could buy 1 or 2

    3. bertberr

      bertberr

      I've got about 20 that I need to sell.  Just finding the time to sort it all out and take pics etc, always something else more important to do, though invariably a lot less fun - spent the last couple of days chasing a water leak on our Honda... HATE water leaks 😠

    4. turok007

      turok007

      I planned a few days of just getting pictures of everything  then all went back into storage until sold

    Epic bash and chill session with @Luvell RC, @James.S and @Nathan G we just got in.

     

    A quick summary:

    - Losi 8ight attacks @Nathan G outta nowhere 

    - @Luvell RC takes @James.S' Losi MT out of its 15 year slumber and makes quick repairs on location. 

    - @James.S' monster track runs over my Mrs Hyper 7 over (not even a single scratch) 

    - @Luvell RC RC's fleet makes me doubt electric and wants a nitro. 

    - I forgot I had a FTX carnage (didn't get used) 

    - Mrs takes control of Losi 8igjt 😎

    - Epic scenery 

     

    Videos to follow. 😎🤪

      Thanks again guys for making the journey over to my way, and hopefully we can do it again some time soon 😀

      I must admit I appreciate why the adverts exist, but when I took the plunge I couldn't believe the difference in using the forum too.

  11. Bert_w164

    A massive thank you to @Stormbringer and @Yrkoon for their kindness. I was after an engine, and now have three thanks to them. I'm genuinely taken back by their sense of community and kindness!

      To be honest i dont see myself running large nitro engines again tho so someones as well getting the use of them :cheers:

      Cheers, you've made my niece really happy. Two years ago around this time I asked her if she wants to go to the zoo, or to Santa Pod and watch the monster trucks...

       

      She choose the latter, so it's really awesome we could surprise her with this build she's inherited 😂

       

      I'll be sure to log the progress on these. 😎

      Biggest death of yesterday for me. Legend!.

       

      Edit: Obviously the Duke of Edinburgh was an absolute hero to our country, but he was 99, not in great health so it wasn’t a shock as such

      always loved DMX man sad to hear 😞

      Wow he was only 50! 
      That's sad and too young to die. RIP.

      In which case I won't shove low KV and 6S in it - might fall apart.

      Funnly enough i have had one of these sat in my garage for years, that i was about to do a brushless convert too.

    4. Bert_w164

      Bert_w164

      Hyper 7, 4S & 6S sessions back to back using Arrma Katars. The difference between 4S and 6S is riding the grass and gliding across the grass 😁

  14. Bert_w164

    Nitro engines - worth holding onto as relics? Or shall I sell my Macstar 28? 

    1. locky

      locky

      Depends if your desperate for the cash, are you converting to brushless?  There maybe synthetic fuels in the future. Its not a brand that tends to go for more money.

    2. Bert_w164

      Bert_w164

      Ah ha, it's more of a worth sitting on for historic purposes as ICE won't be a thing, or sell it for someone to get use out of it/enjoy it. 

       

      I highly doubt I'll run it, at most, I may mount it on a stand, tidy it up real good and may be connect the output shaft to something totally random 🤔
