James S's MT10! Gonna give it a clean while the body is drying off its newly applied reinforcement layer in the shed (once i get the glue off my fingers)

Hi all I'm selling a brand new Arrma Granite 4x4 Mega 550 SLT3 RTR, in blue. The only thing that's been done to it is the battery's been charged (but not attached to the ESC) I bought it thinking I'd upgrade it to brushless later on, but patience is apparently not one of my virtues, and i bought a Big Rock while i waited for the battery to charge. 🫣 Apparently opening the box was a bad idea, as it invalidated my right to return it due to changing my mind, so here it is for sale. It comes with a humped NiMH battery, and just needs the usual 4xAA batteries for the remote. I've put it on eBay for £200 inc postage, so here I'll ask for £180 inc postage? edit: It's been on eBay for weeks (i didn't think anyone here would want brushed), with no-one taking an interest, but as soon as i listed it here, someone on eBay bought it! so, now sold.

sending a pm... 🙂

The SCXish is now sold, too.

I've fitted all the original components to the 'SCX', so no upgraded ESC, servo, or wheels. Instead, it now comes with the original transmitter and NiMH battery, so it's 99% RTR. Still hoping for £110, inc postage..

Epoxied the rear shock of my new Arrma Big Rock, which fell apart a whole 5 minutes into it's fairly gentle first run. Not impressed!

Trample sold on ebay for £110. The FS Racing isn't on there (yet)

Well, kinda.. apparently they're not going to be restocked in their vacuum formed guise. There is some 3d printed versions, but i might have a go at making some from a can of Guinness

The top one is a Doorok; a 3D printed frame from Tiny4x4. https://www.tiny4x4.com/orlandoo-hunter/kits/doorok-132-rock-racer-kit/ It came with the usual plastic Orlandoo 4x4 parts, and snazzier wheels and tyres, but i broke a few bits and decided to buy metal parts instead. I've yet to construct a skid plate without hearing the dreaded snap. 😊

I started making a build diary, but then forgot on one occasion, and it all fell apart. 🫠 I have been busy, tho. Got a bit addicted, but I'm over it now. 🙂 Voila:

Hiya! I've come to the conclusion that I maaaaay have too many RC cars. Certainly too many rock crawlers. So, I'm selling two of them. The first one I'm selling is the first RC car I ever bought; an FS Racing 'Freeman', which is an Axial 10.2 clone. Clone is maybe a bit unfair, as FS Racing acquired the original tooling, so it's an actual 10.2, just built by a different manufacturer. https://www.nitrotek.co.uk/rc-cars/electric-cars/1-10-scale/fs-racing-1-10-scale-rc-rock-crawler-with-pc-body-shell.html http://www.fs-racingart.com/detail.php?pid=1938 Aaanyway, it's had a body upgrade to an Axial Chevrolet C10 body in super-tasteful white and metallic blue The lights work, too. They attach to the RX via a JST connector, so the shell can be completely removed. I've only used it a few times. Maybe 5 times, tops. Hence the decision to sell it, even though I really like how it turned out. I think it's probably worth about £110 inc postage (SOLD) The second (now sold) car is an RGT Trample, which is essentially a beefed up and upgraded RGT Rock Hammer / FTX Mauler : https://www.rgt-racing.com/cn_asp/productshow.asp?id=1183. The biggest change from the Mauler is the 'reverse drive', which just means the driveshafts rotate in opposite directions to try and alleviate torque twist. RGT claim it's 1/10 scale, but if it is, then it has the tiniest windows of any vehicle. oh, I bought it because of a video by that Tomley fella: It's also only been used a handful of times, and is completely original. I reckon it's probably worth about £110 including postage. (SOLD) Now, the photos: FS Racing Freeman(£110): RGT Trample (£110 SOLD😞

So cool! Made me want one, but after hunting around I bought a Tiny4x4 Doorok instead, as i thought a crawler was more my style. It uses Orlandoo parts, but has a custom chassis: The parts are so tiny!

How much is the MJX Mew 4 Buggy, if it's still available?

i took the smasher out in the woods this evening. it handled itself pretty well, although it quite likes flipping onto it's roof, and the monster truck tyres don't have a lot of grip. i might have to invest in some extra weight, too. I need to work out how to video while driving. getting up those mossy rocks was a battle!

The injora tyres are about 6mm less diameter, but almost half the width! It doesn't change the look as much as I thought it would. Diffs are now locked, and the shocks are oil filled. Feels like a downgrade going to plastic diffs, tho.
