  1. Hi, over the last couple of days I've tested out several Killswitch systems to ensure they will function correctly with the new Noble NB4 radio, And the Switchblade does need a couple of small tweaks doing to the settings on the radio to ensure it will work correctly 🙂 You basically have to alter the frequency frame rate, this is done in the RX settings, I've put together an easy to follow set of directions for anyone wanting to do this on their NOBLE NB4 handsets 🙂👍🏻 I'll pop you a link to follow the instructions on how to do it 👍🏻 https://www.rcmodelz.co.uk/news/flysky-noble-killswitch-fix.html 🙂👍🏻
  2. 🙂🙂🙂👍🏻 Awesome stuff bud 🙂 So glad you're happy and enjoying the buggy 🙂👍🏻 I did quite a bit of the RnD on the buggy in it's beginning stages, so it's always nice to hear when people are Happy 🙂👍🏻 (Or even when they're not, I'd rather they talk with us so we know, and can help to improve thing's, than them go off on a social media rant lol 😁) Yeah we did debate a lipo, and when choosing the K-Power D-4000 servos it did mean they were 7.4v 2s lipo ready 👍🏻 But not everyone is keen still on using a lipo, While the Nimh battery being the safer option for people, The lipo will allow the K-Power to run at approximately 50kg Torque 😉 and a faster response speed too 👍🏻 There has been a few that have done it, But it is a tight box, So while something that will fit the likes of the 5ive-T, will also go in the 30° box, some have modified their lids, I'm sure you'll figure something out if you go down that route though 🙂👍🏻 Have fun bud, Enjoy 🙂👍🏻
  3. So glad you got it all up and running after we spoke on the phone 🙂👍🏻 And great to hear how much you were enjoying it 🙂 Like I said on the phone, I'll look forward to seeing some of the photos of the design you had in mind with the paint 👍🏻 Have fun bud 🙂 Enjoy the Buggy to the Max 👍🏻🙂👍🏻
  4. Oh this Buggy is 'Definitely' not a copy of anything else that's for certain There's often bits on every model out there, that isn't to somebody's taste That's just part of the hobby And what makes it Great to have lots of different ones to choose from On this there are 'Lots' of nice touches and changes that help make it stand out With the Centre spool it may well be possible to make it RWD only, Should someone, for some reason ever fancy giving it a go No it's not my buggy Nor did I design it, but I've had a big part in the improvements And changes I felt it wanted before it's final release to the UK market The same way I did with, and still do, with the FID Dragon Hammer The testing is Great fun But it's not as easy as perhaps people expect it to be It's time very consuming, and the time differences between the UK and China often means I'm up very early in the morning speaking with them on my finding's, And explaining what to do to improve things should there be anything I feel needs it Then once anything is done, it has to be fully retested, and then reported on all over again And repeat if needed It's all worth it though to get these Crackin vehicles out for others to enjoy, and love themselves And at the end of the day, it's ALL about you guys having fun, and enjoying yourselves, and if that happens, Then I'm a Happy Bunny
  5. Send me a PM on Facebook with what you have in mind mucker
  6. You're not wrong That's something they can be used for certainly But our stands are £14.99 And we buy 'Direct' from the maker of the stands, Even our Boxes have our 'RCMz' branding on them But if people choose to look at thing's in a certain way, then that is All they will ever see
  7. That's no problem Buddy I'll happily make you some replacement front's if you want Kenny But I will let you know when they're ready Any thoughts colour wise?
  8. It's ME who makes them Think I said to you via messenger before though If you send me back your problem one's I'll make you up some more I did have a small batch of poor eyelets which wouldn't hold on the cables properly But there was very few So by all means give me a shout and I'll give you my personal address Just been looking at the buggy one's this afternoon
  9. I'll get some limiting cables made up for these too (I make all the others ) So I'll look into the sizes and what's needed and build up some kits
  10. Hahaha He's a kind of a 'Strange' guy all round
  11. Exactly Hahaha Trust me Kenny that's one of the German guys who works with us He's done some 'Very Strange' stuff to his In fact what your looking at isn't a buggy at all any more It's the TRUCK He's used a truck chassis, engine, tank, radio tray (although Area Rc) fuel tank, driveshafts, chassis braces, centre towers, centre diff, diff to engine brace, Flipped the engine around and used a strange pipe He's then put on the Wing, Bumper, Arm set, from the 30° North Buggy Baja rear wheels all round (that's why the tyres are so stretched) Some very odd air box I think he's made All that so he can make it 'Different' He messages me with these crazy thing' (Which I have to translate in Google) And I often ask him why He cut up a Graffil body, chopped up a Truck rollcage, and made it go on the Buggy To say it looked terrible was an understatement But he seemed happy with himself As Dave said though, 'May as well of bought a losi buggy' than made ^^^ That much of a mess of a 30° buggy *Edit.... Did you notice the 'Losi' shocks too No one but he knows why yet
  12. Oh anyone that saw one would be highly tempted
  13. Oh you'll always find bits to play with along the way I have done the same with the Dragon Hammer development, Now that package is unreal
  14. That's because the initial installed ones were 'JX' Which Both failed I had the Savox one's in my spares box, so popped them in to keep going So I chose not to go with the offered 'JX' servos, And opted for the proven K-Power 4000 Digital servos to put in ours Which also means you've no need to worry about upgrading the servos, As we thought ahead to make sure you get a good package for your money
  15. The K-Power servos are better than Savox, With a Higher Torque rating, & Speeds
  16. Have you checked your End Points are okay? Or the collet behind the servo saver Clutch is an 8k spring If you are used to a 6k It may seem like the engine is taking longer, Or Rev'ing higher before the buggy begins to move forward That's totally normal As long as the battery charge isn't low, Then the servo speed should be fine
  17. It's totally your choice if you want to change it, But that box and set up is so good we are having to bring it tons more because people want to fit it onto 'Everything' else Yes it's tight at the battery lid, But how often do you really need to be in and out? Is it really enough to get rid of an air box set up like that? I'm not sure you'd get that Round version under the body shell without cutting out some of the body, But it's totally your call
  18. That's 'Jim Whitehead' Our New Team RCMz Race Driver It is his first outing doing some testing The weather and conditions were Awful though
  19. Anyone that's known me through the years will know I've not only been doing this for years (too many ) But will also know I've done forum's for years, Including MSUK In fact right from the start when Nick first set it all up And I have run & started Large forum's too But I simply don't have the time to do them all these day's unfortunately And don't have Twitter or Instagram either I'm afraid
  20. No not everyone is (lucky them) but it's there if needed I'll see if I can try to uploaded & post the picture's here too for you
  21. Here's a link to the Bumper Mod that I've done on the Test Buggy 30° North Buggy Bumper Mod
  22. Pop on and join us if you haven't already 30° North Buggy Facebook Group
  23. Kenny I've altered the Bumper But can't upload a picture here as it's too large I have already uploaded them to the Facebook group, But shoot me a PM on messenger and I'll show you All ready in planning The KM X2 & 5ive-T parts are doubtful, The towers & braces are very different, It's not based on either so you'd have to do some big changes to make stuff fit from them, The Towers from something like a TLR 5b may fit, but there wouldn't be any gain doing that? Like I've said, the more people ask companies to build stuff, the more they're likely to listen
  24. Totally Agree Have fun on Tuesday
