  1. Paul, you should get in on this mate!
  2. This is also my all time favourite game! Hammered it for many years! I also totally fell in love with:- FreeSpace1 & 2 Civilisation and sequals. X beyond the frontier and it's sequals. My relationship with games began with elite.
  3. I dont see the point of it to be honest... For Bashers, the SC looks of the 5ive will have more visual presence and protetion from the shell. For Racers, why buy a
  4. Im not sure if the sales section has a post count limit, i dont think it does, so go to the sales section, read the rules, look at a few other sales threads to get an idea of how its done, and post away. Top tips :- the more info on the description the better. Good quality photos. Be honest, try to cover anything up, it will bite you on the backside.. It always does..
  5. My missus of 4 years is also into RC. At one point, she had more cars than me!!! She absolutely loves her slash 4x4 and takes a lot of pleasure from painting shells, as such, she has more than she needs, some have never seen a car!! My missus is pretty easy going about whatever i want to do as a hobby really. (Until i clean something really dirty in the bath that is..) Ive had an Ex of 2 years that used to whine about me spending money on hobbys, yet she was quite happy to blow cash on shoes and clothes shed never wear and many many wild nights out. She even gave me the ultimatum one day!! Sell up my paintball and RC gear or she leaves... I helped her pack!! By trying to mould me to her image and blackmail me with such an ultimatum, she made the decision easy. and ultimately made it for me.. Take me as i am or take a hike.
  6. I have to agree, if the bad cell is over 2.5 then there's still a chance of saving it, but at 1v then the chemistry has certainly gone through some irreversible changes that will render it useless. Did you say cell 2 was over 5v?? Are you sure thats not the total pack voltage as that's incredibly high! Either way, it's ready for a brine bath and bin mate.
  7. I'm on my 2nd, got it for Xmas 2010. My first one was bought in 2006 and it still works perfectly! Anyone know the resistance on that wire glue? Looks like nifty stuff!
  8. Holy crap! That's a serious smash! Doesn't look like he's going that fast either. Ite eye opening, just shows how vulnerable we are in cars.
  9. Got em all except the first one!
  10. I suppose technically, I am an atheist. As religion is a purely human concept, and historically, used as a tool to keep the masses in line has also resulted in some of the most barbaric incidents in human history. I think it's the root of all evil and is often perverted by the corrupt and used as a hammer. I believe it has no place in today's world. Especially since you don't need religion to have faith. I do however, believe in a higher power of some description, not some watcher or guardian, but perhaps an advanced race that have mastered space and time and view us like we would view microbes. I also believe in an afterlife of sorts, no ethereal paradise nonsense, but I do believe our energy, and perhaps conciesness continues somehow that science can't yet explain. Some years ago I was shown something by an old spiritualist in my family which I simply cannot put into words. If nothing else, proved to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that there's certainly something beyond what we understand as fact and reality. It's one of those discussions that have no real conclusion or end. That can be debated for ever and ever with no proof to support either argument, just theories. Like "do aliens exist?" I know some people that say "no, not possible!" as a blatant fact! And will not even entertain discussion on it! Whitch, mathematically is beyond absurd! Theres about 300 billion stars in our galaxy alone, each one could have upto 30 celestial bodies around it, and we know of tens of thousands of galaxies, and estimates put the number of galaxies in the universe at at least 100 billion, to put that in perspective, thanks to Hubble, if you held a grain of sand at arms legnth at the night sky, it will be covering up about 10'000 galaxies. With numbers that Incomprehensively large, the chances of there not being life out there are pretty much nothing. In fact, I know I'm going a little off topic but I'm very fond of numbers, even sci fi writers can't really comprehend how big space is. Take star trek, 300 years in the future, they have mapped and surveyed 7% of our galaxy, in reality, if we had a fleet of 1000 starships that can instantly jump to another star system, each ship took 1 day to map a system before jumping to the next, the 1000 ships, doing 1000 star systems a day, couldn't map 1% of our galaxy in 1000 years! Sorry, I will get my coat.
  11. I was half expecting a story about how they robbed you by using the art of misdirection or something. Excuse my ignorance, but I don't see what the point of the story is.. Is the care home your nan set up getting a bad name because an escaped old couple soiled themselves in your house? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me..l
  12. I think we will need to make some rules regarding children too, as we've had a couple of unsavoury incidents recently, for example, no one under a certain age to use anything 1/8 or bigger, and no brushless, or nitro for them.
  13. Have to agree here, it's by no means a great car, but it's not a bad car either for a beginner. Hsp stuff is far superior to most imported Asian models like acme tech stuff and the numerous other eBay specials that float around.
  14. Indeed! I was off a similar mindset a decade or so ago, however, alloy isn't the shiny monster people make it out to be, it's great for some parts, for example, it's highly beneficial for parts such as motor mounts, gear carriers, diff housings, and other parts that work better rigid, but for extremities such as arms and towers, rpm style nylon is the way forward. Like anything, ally is best used in moderation as it is heavy, overdoing it is half the problem.
  15. It's always amusing when people try and sell silly amounts of alloyed up cars for close to what it cost them, it just doesn't work like that! The only real option for such cars is to split them, will get a decent return then.
  16. I'm with Gavin 100% on this. Our footballers are ridiculously overpaid fairies that frankly, should set a good example for youngsters but choose to be moody, irresponsible, childish morons that can't even do that right. But I think all the help for heroes stuff is a bit over the top to, I agree that injured soldiers deserve the help they need to get back on track, but there's plenty of civie professions that are dangerous too. It's a job, like any other, they chose it. And I can guarantee you, when your in a dangerous situation, you don't think about your country, or the defence of civil liberties, the men and women next to you is why you do what needs to be done.
  17. I too must admit I find them a really guilty pleasure! Love it! Keep it up Ahmet!
  18. Roll on the Traxxas petrol Revo!!
  19. pretty soon we will be teaching you the secret handshake!! Brushless and LiPo is a totally differant ballgame than Brushed, youve been bitten, now you will turn..
  20. Today my FPV (first person view) Summit just stopped transmitting its Video Signal, although i cant smell anything, i am getting no Video signal at all to my goggles or groundstation.
  21. It doesn't matter if he specified no returns or not, if the item isn't as described, you have the right to return it, just make sure it's all tracked, recorded, and document everything.
  22. Fair do's Sam, you've done a cracking job on the car! Well done!
