Think this will get closed as you need to state a price due to site rules 👍

Look into engine durability as well. Eg what engine the HPI uses and what engine the FTX uses

LRP sounds familiar from back in the day Also remember SMC (I think?) And Sanyo and GP I'm sure Also remember people matching the cells with cell matchers etc 👍

Damn how much of an improvement did it make? I have the wires all soldered up from ages ago when I wanted to do it but never got round

But Nitro fuel is expensive now.... cheaper to go 2 Stroke Petrol when you work it out Per L 🙂

My HPI Trophy Truggy Flux takes a good beating and don't think I've damaged anything major just the stock servo and pinion. Parts seem easy to get hold of

Just wondering has anyone flashed their GT3B with the psx firmware? If so do you loose your preset models and have to re configure them all?? Thanks 👍

So far so good 👍 Had a blow out with the stock tyres fitted New Badlands and snapped a front drive shaft lol

Since the issue of water getting in the ESC and my truggy flying away full throttle I have done some waterproofing 👍 Coated it in proper 2k Spies Hecker Lacquer and then some silicone sealant to seal the case. Warranty void..... lol..

It's still alive it seems 🙂 Now to waterproof it I've seen conformal coating used on videos, has anyone used this and is Silicone CC the one to get or is the Acrylic CC just as good? Thanks

If it has survived can spray on wax be used to waterproof it? Eg BiltHamber as I have this in the garage - https://bilthamber.com/product/dynax-uc/ Or is there another waterproofing method (apart from getting a waterproof esc lol)

Had the HPI Truggy Flux on the beach and it was quite wet , anyway, I went to change battery, fitted the new one and got lots of cell count beeps instead of just 4 and then it just shot off full throttle. All I could do was steer lol. anyway it flipped over and sat at full throttle then finally stopped and I managed to discount the pack. The ESC is Stock which is a HobbyWing but don't think it's waterproof... It was fun while it lasted lol

Got this from Gaz, so far added a Larger Lipo mounted to the front for more weight and tested it out on some logs for the wood burner. Nice little truck:-D

Coooool that should keep up with my Smart Car

Here it is http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/g-made-crawlers/494709-underdrive-r1-finally.html#google_vignette Here's some other mods I did -

Did these guys copy Gmade or did Gmade copy them?? 🤔 I have my shocks upside down and it seems to be more stable Also I did the rear gear ratio mod and it improved turning wonder if this uses the same gears as the Gmade?

Thanks Going to try growing my own and having a go again next year 👍

Used a Dremel this year to do mine and started mastering the art of it.

I like your Hilux, it's like a Mini version of Kevs Monster truck how it's parked in the shop like that. Always wanted a old Hilux

Yea saw that but I waiting for the old Mardave stuff to be done that he said he was doing 🙂

With all his youtubing, monster truck building, flying lessons, rc builds, moving to Isle of Man etc I really don't think he would have time to run a Ebay store anymore 🙂

Personally I don't mind him and find he has amazing skills especially with helicopters. But he did have abit of a rant about people thinking RC is big business and how clubs find it Big business and take it too serious when at the end of the day its grown men playing with toy cars. Then I thought but Kev, for you it is big business really as that's what has made you all your money etc on YouTube when you started out.. Maybe he just didn't word it correctly but I do agree, there is people that do take it way too seriously, I remember years ago there would be someone that would shout and swear at the marshals if they didn't get his sons car back on the track fast enough etc...
