Mini the minx

Ok an update, I managed to find a losi 8ight battery tray so that's on its way from the states and have received the traxxas rx box. Waiting on the Vse mount and will order the Max8 once i've figured out which connectors are best XT90 or EC5 ? Would two of these batteries be suitable for run the Hyper ? https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-battery-nano-tech-5000mah-2s-45-90c-lipo-pack-xt-90.html?queryID=ba4c25d1628d0117f51c4573bfba696a&objectID=69258&indexName=hbk_live_magento_en_us_products Cheers

the stripped down and clean is coming along so am ordering the parts in i need to complete this but may need your advice guys. any alternative battery tray suggestion as the losi 8ight is not only like hens teeth to get hold of but also not sure mounting the esc directly by the rear wheel is a good idea as it will get covered in crap. what max8 combo kv should i be looking at - 2200kv ?? it'll be a basher so 4s batteries should work but what amps and c rating should i go for Cheers Lisa

Wow Virdi your Hyper looks great, lovely clean lines 👍 May I ask the parts you used for the conversion please ? Cheers Lisa

Agh that's abit sh!t about HPI, what happened ? They were one of the big players back when I was heavily into RC. Thank you for pointing to the states I'll go googling. My car has RPM arms and T-Bone bumpers so hopefully they'll last but the consumable parts are worn and need replacing ideally. Cheers guys 👍

Returning to RC and bashing my E-firestorm but am finding out that this model is now discontinued - wondering where you guys get your replacement parts from these days ? Looking for : Spur Gears Diff shafts Rear axle Cheers Lisa

Thank you AJ 🙂

Hey, I been a while since I was heavily into RC, life and work just sort of took over .............. Anyhow with working from home whilst in lock down I've dragged the old Hyper 7TQ out of the shed with the idea of going brushless. My RC knowledge is fairly out of date so am looking for a little shove in the right direction please, I've done some reading up and have come up with the parts list below, Any advice if I've missed anything, got it wrong or should be looking at better alternative components would be much appreciated. Hoboa Hyper SS motor mount Either EZrun Max8 combo or Quicrun WP-8bl150 ESC plus ........... ?? motor Losi 8e battery tray 20kg steering servo ....... any recomendations ? Any upgrade parts required ? It would be a general basher, I dont want stupid power just fun, reliable and tough Thanks 👍

Hi, Looking to resurrect my Losi micro Baja - thinking the ESC may have frazzled therefore am looking for a donor micro t vehicle Money ready and waiting Thank you Li

Thanks for your thoughts much appreciated - I hadn't considered the f4 70-200L it's constant f factor would be awesome but i just do photography as a hobby so would it be better to save some more pennies then go for the Canon 70-300 L f4/5.6 as more zoom Maybe more use than faster shutter speed ?? Hey HappyLad long time mate Thanks for the input think I'll save more and maybe get a nice 2nd hand prime with the pennies I have at the mo

Hey all, I've being getting into photography quite abit lately and have finally upgraded my bridge camera to a canon 70D with 15-85mm lens but am now looking for some more zoom so i can captured more wildlife and thought maybe the camera guru's might be able to help - aawwww go on ........... please Not got much of a budget but i've found these two which seem to get decent reviews - any views/advise good or bad would be awesome Canon EF-S 55-250mm F/4-5.6 IS STM Lens Pro's : I can get this for a very decent price of under

The word competition i heard cry To win an ECX circuit truck in the blink of an eye The rules are explained by the boss Nicko The members are to write a fun ditto Mini's brain it went about whirring And the words they started a swirling The ditto was duly written And she hopes they like it and are smitten As a new rc for her birthday this Friday Would be awesome and as some might say tiday (tidy) So with luck on her side, and a wink of her eye Mini hopes to win what money can't buy

I'm a microbiology and clinical chemistry technician at a university Otherwise known as a lab rat - LOL

"Elmo" the mini Also "Roo" short for rhubarb and custard - my 69 bug, had to sell it to fund work on the camper though

Thanks big Gaz - theres always one eeeeejit :/ There pics of all my rc cars in the gallery section of my profile The mini currently hidden in the garage is a 1990 (H reg) mini checkmate, it's black with a white roof and go faster stripes, it did have four spot lights on the grill but there smashed at mo due to a slight collision .... Oooops. The checkmate was a special addition to look like a Cooper but only has a 998cc engine which when I was 17 was great - but now it's going to get a full body rebuild, widen arches, retro wheels, and pep the engine up with a SP1 sports pack - work to be carried out by myself and buddy I will post pic of "Elmo" the mini when it was my daily driver once I get home from work

I really think I may know what sex I am - and its a lass ! I find it quite insulting and sexist that you don't believe a lass can actually be interested in cars or anything else apart from the stereotypical image of women. Please feel free to ask members of this forum who have met me in person if your struggling to grasp the concept that much. @ barnetbasher - Muppet moment on my part ....... Sorry lol :-D I'm around nearer the Staffordshire boarder about 50mins from church stretton

@ PurcyP - Your work here is done ??????? WHAT Pull your neck in, grow up and stop being a tit ! A question was asked about any female members of this forum - its light hearted friendly banter not piggin eHarmony. Opposite sexes can talk and enjoy the same hobby without it being creepy or mean walking down the aisle - pretty pathetic thinking on your part. @ barnetbasher - unless Lancashire has dropped south then nope, I'm up in them hills in Shropshire.

Fight away lol :-D This whole thread cracks me up tee hee hee - tinkering with cars is far more fun than make up, shopping and clothes !! Heavily into kayaking too and learning to play the uke Looks like all the other pinkies that signed up weren't here for the hobby .

LMFAO :-D hello Dan & Frog - I'm Lisa :-) Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

I can even cook and bake too LOL I love any air-cooled vw - from buses to bugs Owned mine for 11 years and have no plans on selling it, the market has gone mad for them though the splits go for silly money these days This is buggles

I'm a pink variety and being on here since 2008 :-D I have 6 rc cars from leccy to petrol love tinkering and always have. I service/repair my own 1:1 daily car plus keep my 1972 vw camper on road also have a classic mini in the garage that's going to have a full resto and engine pep up when time n funds allow.
