Another fellow from Westhoughton here. And my son.
A few places we’ve been to lately are:
Ince Skate Park
”Slag Heaps” in Hindley Green - turn down Maple Avenue and follow the path past the farms until you find a large log on the right. Cross it and enjoy motocross heaven.
Pennington Flash, Leigh
Westhoughton Golf Club… shhh, don’t tell anyone.
Heaton Park - Manchester, paid parking
Not far from me...I'm in Farnworth.
I tend to go to Queens Park..usually don't get bothered there...but does get busy sometimes on the field.There is a group on FB called WLRC which arrange regular meets for crawling to speed runs. I've not been myself as timings never work but worth a look.

Replaced the Nylock already.

Hey all, finally took the plunge on the Mt10.
I have been running the FTX carnage with my boys but every time we go out...there is always something to fix within a short space of time. We don't do anything excessive...usually on grass with one of those plastic skate board ramps.
Hoping the M10 is better.
So we got 1 x MT10 V1 used with a couple of mods (mine)and 2 x MT10 V2 for my boys!
Still waiting for them to be delivered but can't wait to have a full bashing session!!

Hey all, with a sad heart...I've decided to move on from the FTX brand...the kids want something a little bigger to play with.
I've just put up a sales thread with a lot of my spares listed.
I've still got my carnage for the time being but will most likely sell that too.
Cheers

Ended up sending a lot of my stuff to the states via ebay.Some parts are super rare!

Will need to see when I can next make it out, in all honestly im thinking it will be July as I've things on every weekend now in June.
Yea, noway you could take the petrol one to the quarry, at first i was thinking its a no no for noise but might actually get away with the noise, but it would murder you trying to drag it up the 30% gradient hill, I almost collapsed ha
That guy sold those ramps, I'll keep looking on market place but the price new isnt exactly too much, deffo need 2 bolted together with my aim
Shame about the ramps, but they always come up for sale!
Where about is that quarry? And is it safe?
-
Just had a quick look on FB marketplace...https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/809875073327131/

I only have electric, so that works for me. Yeah, I think mine is a rampage ramp...usually can get them cheap second hand! Light and pretty industructable!
-
Haha sounds good!! Once you get your van up and running, we can get both the ramps out!
-
That ramp look much better than mine. I have one of those plastic skate board ramps. Didn't get much air by adds an obstacle to the mix.
-
Sounds like a good day out!! Hopefully I can join you guys but it will be in summer holidays for me!
So did you use the banks or bring your own ramp?
-
Yep, I have one as well!! Game changer for me!
Fantastic bit of kit and makes easy work of charging and discharging several batteries.
Also, to have the batteries preset in the app, so just press and go 🙂 -
Would love to, but all my stuff is in storage till my house is done. Won't be able to get it out still August 😞

If they are genuine DXF - sure! But i had experience with counterfeit parts/items, so be careful! One thing is buying some passive parts that in worst case scenario will just brake and the other thing is buying active parts (batteries, chargers, ESC etc.) that can not only brake, but destroy other expensive parts.
True, can also buy them direct and cheaper.

i wouldn't trust aliexpress batteries with 1200eur car....
AliExpress are supplying them but not making them. DXF batteries are pretty good, better than my Amazon's ones.
-
I bought a pair of these:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08R9S3CLW
I also bought a pair of DXF 8000mah ones.
Similar to these:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000561933040.html
To be honest...I barely make it through a pair of packs before I decide to wrap up and go home. Usually go out with my boys, and a pair of 4s batteries from Amazon lasts me 45-1hr of stop start play.

IV looked into different pinions, brother in law gave me a few but didn't really make much difference
U sure the max10s are a 3.2?
You got me double checking myself now... I'm pretty sure...I had the 3300kv motors.
The rigs are in storage at the moment so can't check.
I've checked my last order and I ordered two with 3.2mm hole IE the 0.6 mod tamiya one for the max10.
-
I have a 5mm and a 3.2mm shaft depending on which motor.
But the Max10s are 3.2 and my larger etronix is 5mm.
RW Racing does have the 0.6mod 5mm bore but out of stock at the min.

Give them a call and see when they will be getting/making more.

I managed to blow the O ring in the rear diff!
Didn't want to buy a whole diff kit to replace one O ring...so I bought these.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07MNLND2L
They seem to fit much better than the stock ones!
Gonna put 5k in the rear as that's all I have 🙂
Old one left and new one on right.
