Is it me or have lipo's double/tripled in price?
I was looking at getting a Kagama but will need to get a charger and 6S batteries again as i sold everything a while ago but the extra £300 or so for 2 batteries and a charger makes me feel a bit sick 😂
CNHL used to have BOGOF and they were worthbuying then but even they are expensive now imo -
Anyone seen any good deals on 1/8 Hobaos or Arrmas before i buy an ST Pro? 🙂 (UK)

Has anyone ordered from Hobao USA since brexit? Just wondering if i'm going to get hit with any tax on $65ish

Just got a Hyper MT Plus ii, Took it out twice, no hard jumping and it's **** already, rear CVD keeps popping out and destroying the drive cup and nowhere in the UK has the +1mm ones in stock until mid June which in reality will probably be September. Only option would be paying nearly twice the price from Germany. So ****** off right now. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Got them on today, Make such a massive difference, the rear hub is completely solid now how it should be and all the slop gone.
Thanks again for finding them @oranjedrol -

How much faster do you think a 120C lipo would discharge than a 70C?
Just looking for some new batteries, the 120C are 600 more mah and £5 cheaper, i'm guessing the extra 600mah would negate most of the extra discharge rate? or have i got it wrong and it won't really be any difference?- Show previous comments 9 more

yea i will do, i was expecting it to turn up yesterday but parcelfarce f'd me over so not coming til tuesday now 🤬
yea they are the orange and black hardcase ones. I thought they were pretty good, they would last a good 30-40 mins on my Kronos and the punch was pretty good, i had 500k in the centre diff and on punch 2 it would always wheelie on command. I didn't really get them for the punch though they were just the cheapest highest capacity i could get at the time. I had 100C goldbats previously and i would say they were on par with them so would imagine the 120C is probably a lie and would be more around the 90-100 range.

Quickly to add to what to what BashingBrian said. I was watching a video from a very knowledgeable guy on YouTube (can't remember who now, was a while a go). But basically the industry method for deciding C rating was to look what your competitor was claiming, and then adding 10 to it. It's basically the reason why C rating for LiPo's has skyrocketed in the last few years. CNHL is apparently one of the worst for this. I'm not claiming CNHL are bad. I'm 90% percent convinced they are just re-branded Turningy batteries, which I always found excellent.

10% off at CNHL in his video description 🙂

Anyone with a Hyper MT Plus 2 on 6S, Can i have your durability opinions on it? Regular (1-2 times a week) 10-12 foot jumping durability? Selling my Kronos XTR atm and thinking of getting one to replace it with!
-
-
I've seen all his vids on it lol and I just really like the look of the MT. Don't get me wrong the Kronos is great but most of the mud tracks near me have either been closed off, turned into houses or demolished and speed running across fields isn't really my thing. The only place really near(ish) to me now is a gravel BMX track that isn't maintained and a couple of abandoned quarries which are too rough for the XTR. I think with this i'll be able to take it anywhere and not worry too much about it.
I was looking at these before buying the XTR but couldn't afford the extra £300 or so at the time and i've seen probably 2 for sale second hand in the past 6-7 months so they can't be too bad if people aren't selling them!

Any tips and tricks to getting the ESC screws that keep the fan/lid on to catch a thread when it can't anymore? Got a loose one on my max8 and couldn't find anything on good ol' Google.

Anyone use CNHL packs? Seen a few reviews on youtube but you never know if they're getting "paid" to do it. Thinking of getting 2 8000mah 4S packs as they're only gonna cost me about £80 after i've sold my 2S packs!
-
You have to watch what you say on face💩book now, i just got banned for 2 days for saying "i would have ripped your arm off at that price". What the is the world coming to. I get banned for a figure of speech yet everywhere you look it's anti-vax BS posts. Talk about priorities! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Anyone have experience with DXF batteries? 8000mah 4s on amazon atm for £53. I was goin to get a couple of CNHL ones but seen a few vids lately of them bursting into flames!

Align Trex blocked me from buying from them on Ebay, so i guess it's my fault their customer service is 💩 then?

These lot are round my neck of the woods, in person they seem really nice - and @turok007is right, they're doing well. When I asked how they coped with lockdown, their answer was busier than ever lol...
I only have bought simple bits from them and never needed CS so I can't comment how they are on that front!

RC shops have short memories, pre-pandemic they were all crying they were on the verge of extinction due to online stores. Now, they sell out out of overpriced Arrma stuff as soon as they get any stock. Give it year and we'l see how many people are able and willing to spend 700 quid on a 1/8 RTR 😆

Anyone seen any early black friday deals on lipos?

Do you think a tower to tower brace is needed if you have a bash bar? I'm not spending £75 on a 7075 bash bar, i can make my own 10mm thick 6082 for about £12 or a tower to tower for about £9. I'm not sending it 40 feet in the air, 6-10ft max
