  1. This is actually a shock, I was expecting some sort of off road, but I love the technology they've used with this. Esp the option to dock your iPhone or iPod touch to get real time data. Not sure If I would buy one, but it looks amazing and at 1/7 scale would be on the large side.

  8. thanks for sharing this with us, great little tribute there
  9. James I hate to disagree with you here but I am going to. There is a reason why the Android market is growing faster (if you look purely at figures) and that's because anyone with a computer can make an App for the Android Store. More developers and business are using the Apple OS to develop apps as they generate much more revenue than the Android OS (1). The Apple iOS store is always going to be hugely superior to the Android one.

  10. There is no right or wrong answer to this, an iPad may suit some and not others, the same as an Android Tablet. I personally have an iPad, but I've been a Mac user for over 15 years now. Our Network at home has a few AirPorts and an AppleTV on, all of which has content streamed to them from the iPod/iPhone/iPad/Computers in the house. Now whilst I know there are a few people that are Anti-Apple. The reason why I have a lot of their products is they do what I ask without a fair amount of instruction. And whilst I have dabbled in rooting of android devices in the past the Apple Handsets are vastly better in quality than the ones I have used. Everyones decision is different. Best thing to do is get down to your local retailer and have a play on them. They should all be out on the shelf. Find the one that suits you best and then go from there. Don't get involved in the "my willy's bigger than yours" battle between OS's as it's all down to personal choice

    Riots in London

    There wasn't just teens though, it was people of all ages from all walks of life. If you see any of the pictures of people engaged in looting or violence, they are from 11 up to their 50's. Teens are getting the most rep for it as they've already been targeted in areas of extreme poverty as the trouble makers. But can you really not expect people who have very little to take advantage of such a scenario in a world that's driven my materialistic greed. The riots were inevitable, and were predicted in the May 2010 election campaigns by Clegg. If only Clegg had shown a back bone aye and not aligned with the Tories. The Economy is in bits as well, The cuts that the Tories have enforced on us have only caused the market to stagnate even more so. This again was warned to us by Gordon Brown in his manifesto for the May 2010 Elections. An increase on VAT, increases in Food and Electricity bills have hit the poorest people the most. Once a few took to the streets it was a domino effect with people just wanting to get out there and trash the place. The riots almost being cathartic for some communities. Now whilst I do not condone the events, as I stated before, was it not inevitable something would happen in a world driven by nothing more than greed and corruption. To echo Beard's comments on the lack of focus on Education of these youngsters as well. The teens in areas in and around London, Manchester and Birmingham often relied on the community centres that provided extra curricular training on things like music production, website design and many other things. Recently they have all seen such schemes shut down to the withdrawal of funding, failing to invest in people is what is going to kill this country. If only the government stopped filling their silk lined pockets with bribes, expenses claims and tax payers money such schemes would still be taking place. And if we put these recent events into the grand scheme of things, The damage that has been caused totals up to a value not even 1/10th of that paid to the banks for their greed and the poor investments they made. And the banking collapse was inevitable as all money is created from debt.
  14. Even if it's just for the bling factor, this is a nice bit of kit! Can I justify the price for this though? Hmmm..........
  15. I am sorry but this is a word for word copy of the HPI website you even say Why would you mention this? Also comparing it with the HPI website This is a 100% match. Please in future if you want to review something use your own words and don't copy word for word what the manufacturer says.
  16. Last few tasks to do. Get Wheels and Glue them Last few screws. Namely Servo Horn Tidy up wires Finish shell It's been a long old road getting this done. Today I managed to get most of the Shell trimmed, just around the front that needs finishing. I have to say the Chrome paint has been a right PITA, despite being applied properly there's a few places that seem to have flaked slightly, thankfully this isn't on the body just the off cuts. Still think I'll try sealing the shell with some watered down PVA. Got the ESC connectors all soldered up today as well as mounted it on the Chassis plate. Also installed the Servo. Hopefully in the next week or so you'll see the final pictures
