....well the sidewinder/4600 combo only arrived yesterday from BPP - ordered on the 12th May, arrived on the 5th June. Quite a long time, but the good news is that they put a value of $18 on it so I didn't incurr any customs charges at all I will also add that I emailed BPP a few times, and they always replied. Texy

...so no original parts for sale then? Texy

OK, I did that yesterday and got an email that it has now shipped - lets see how long it takes to get here! Still waiting for the DI, servo's n battery packs -all of which hopefully will be here before the bank holiday weekend Texy

..and that was $24 including postage to the UK Texy

Looking at the spec for the sidewinder, can some explain to this newbie what the following terms mean? 1 : Brake/reverse Type Option 1 : reverse Lockout (D)* Option 2 : Forward/Brake Only Option 3 : Forward/Brake/reverse 4 : Punch Control Option 1 : High Option 2 : Medium Option 3 : Low Option 4 : Lowest Option 5 : Disabled (D)* 5 : Drag Brake Option 1 : Disabled (D)* Option 2 : 10% Option 3 : 20% Option 4 : 30% Option 5 : 40% 6 : Throttle Dead Band Setting 1 : Large - 0.1500 ms Setting 2 : Normal - 0.1000 ms (D)* Setting 3 : Small - 0.0750 ms Setting 4 : Very Small - 0.0500 ms Setting 5 : Smallest - 0.0250 ms I,ve no idea what these setting mean or do, LOL Texy

Slipper purchased - less than $24 !!! Graphite looks cool, but I,ll wait until I start breakin stuff before ordering anything else!!! Texy

Cheers guys - the DI and other parts are coming from various HK sources as it is and my prefered source, rcmart doesn't have the slipper in stock. Not only does rcmodel.hk have it in stock but its also even cheaper . Although I,d prefer to get the part from the UK, I,m not paying over double the price for it Texy

Done deal - it was $150.40 with usb adapter which came to just under

I know the mamba max is a popular BL choice, but I want the sidewinder combo from Castle Creations for my Dark Impact when it arrives. Is there a UK supplier for this or will I need to order it from the States? Anyone had experience with ordering this kinda thing from there - what should I expect to be stung by postie when he arrives? From memory the PO charge a handingly fee (

I,ve ordered one through eBay - seller DragonshopHK. A steal at

OK - think I,ve made my mind up with the Dark Impact, which I will probably buy from rcmart (unless someone else suggests a well priced UK alternative ). Can someone please confirm this battery pack will do for the DI - http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/product_info...0For%20RC%20Car Also I'll need an RX and ESC for it, but I,ll check suitables on rcmart a little later today before ordering (again - if someone can suggest prefered parts that rcmart supply ,I,d be gratefull!). Cheers, Texy

Hey that Dark Impact looks good. A few Q's if I may? 1..Its a kit, and I,ll need to build it !!! 2..I need Tx, Rx, servo's and battery packs? 3..I do NOT need motor, ESC ? Is there a recommended BL setup I can think about? Cheers, Texy
