I am looking for one wheel to rebuild another SVM chassis I have. The colour is not important as I will probably paint it and what I am looking for is exactly the same as the wheels on my beetle which were unique I believe to SVM. I have tires.
Ebay has a couple but shipping is outrageous.
can anyone help? Willing to pay or trade or course.
thanks

I am looking for some help with purchase of a small Rc part from France however the seller won’t ship to me in Auckland, New Zealand for some reason. Is there a club member from France who is willing to help me out? I will naturally cover all costs via PayPal. Please message me if you are willing to help help. I would be extremely grateful. Thanks.

I still have my fingers crossed for a second batch down here in NZ given international shipping is very expensive on top of people selling with a considerable profit margin added to their prices. My hobby shop assures me a delivery is not far away…….(I should have ordered one from the first batch that was sold here).
I still kick myself for not buying a 30th year Porsche for $1000 NZD a couple of years back locally from a large deceased estate sale…..I had already spent far too much as had Bluefoot as when they were first released kids were taking priority and costing heaps…..

With dirt thrasher arms etc etc they are much more stable and a lot of fun………

Careful doing that. Some wheels don't like water that hot and will deform into something more like an oval than a circle. And once they do that, you ain't getting them round again. I found out the hard way with a set of Kyosho Raider Pro front rims. Oops. I felt bad. But I got the tires off.
I bet many of us on here have done that. I certainly have to get a set of tires off some rims (can’t remember what rims) and they went oval…tire however perfectly good for another set of rims. I put rubber bands on my off road tires (stock motors however) so they can just be removed very easily when you want to. Suspect no good for on road.

Yeah I see a lot of those over priced kits on eBay too, in particular the Japanese prices are ridiculous, to the point where my in my searches I have blocked every single Japanese seller. I just think 'deluded idiots' tbh
Yes I have also noticed the ridiculous prices from some Japanese sellers also for TGX parts…..I had wondered if they had just mucked up the exchange rates but clearly not…..does make searching annoying at times….

Can anyone suggest an alternative foam filter to fit the standard Nitage air filter assembly?
additionally has anyone any suggestions how to fix a broken tab on the fuel tank lid for the Nitrage rather tha. Having to replace the entire fuel tank?

Very very sad……life simply isn’t fair at times. Will miss reading his insightful comments and model updates that he did in the past.

I have some of Miles from a number of years back and some MCI stashed away and I remember thinking at the time MCI were pretty good but Miles were far better. As others say if you are happy with what you get and pay for no issue …get them on the vehicle and move on🙂 I am just grateful there are some clever people out there with good set ups who are prepared to produce items which Mr T no longer does. Unfortunately there are some rip off artists out there also and I have junked some decals I have purchase over the years as they were simply awful.

If by "old school" you mean rear motor 2wd, then your options are limited to the Tamiya Blitzer series or the Traxxas Rustler if you still want readily available spares. The Rustler (along with the Bandit and Stampede) shares some design DNA with old Traxxas race vehicles from BITD and thus would be the more capable performer. They're durable and have a ton of spares and aftermarket parts available. For a Tamiya, the Blitzers are fairly durable too, though they have no race credentials in their make up. They are basically Bear Hawk buggies with larger tires, oil shocks and a slightly re-geared transmission.
Tamiya stadium thunder, stadium blitzer or if you are not worried about a truck body blitzer beetle. They are a badword of a lot of fun as bashers……..just don’t run them on the road as the rear tires wear out far to fast…….

Thanks for that but my question was for the standard chassis - I did see this. Cheers.

I think someone on here might have done it 🤔 Think it involved swapping the arms/hubs front to back and reversing the servo and running top mounted steering links.
Local distributor had the red/white painted version on the M06 (RR) until recently, suprised you didn't get that one?
I might have a couple of those ones also of course….you know how I roll Neil. The one I got was pretty cheap also which was nice for a change. Trying to buy local these days but not to often.

Ok I purchased a flower power type 2 VW van (2 of them actually as you do) but being a VW lover I would prefer the chassis to be RWD and rather than have to purchase new chassis outright I would like to know if anyone has converted a standard M05 chassis to RWD and how they did it please. I had a search on TC and the web without much success. Looking forward to hearing people’s ideas, suggestions and experiences in attempting this.

Did you leave batteries in them whilst they were in storage? If so blackrot can cause all sorts of issues.
-
Fantastic job there fella. I have quite a few of these chassis’s stored away for a rainy day to restore with some of the goodies you have used. Parts pop up from time to time all over the world however postage costs have gone crazy given Covid-19 unfortunately.

Well thank you Chris @netsmithUK, and thank you Kelvin @kalsh for giving me a subscription again. Wow! You guys are so generous, the subscription is one thing, but the thought blows me away. Cheers guys 😊
All good mate. Trust all is well with you and the family during our lockdown. Thanks to Chris also for making this possible,

I just purchased the street going Porsche 911 GT1 and was thinking what model light buckets could we adapt to this body rather than relying on stickers. ( I have tried to rotate iPad photo without success......any suggestions other than taking another photo?)

Seeing the responses around the world I'm so glad I live in New Zealand. Our govt has done an amazing job - lockdown early, made a stack of cash available to people and businesses to get them through it, forced the banks to play nice, secured loans for business, implemented rent freezes and said people can't kick tenants out etc etc. It seems most countries are worried about the economy, ours is worried about the people.
Its not often I'm that complimentary about a govt.
Still can't get any car dealers to call me though...
I too am in NZ and yes the situation is be being handled very well for now but I suspect we will be in lockdown for longer than the proposed 4 weeks and then when we do return to the office (I am working at home and have been for 9 days already and I am a banker and have always played nice🙂) the borders will be closed for a lot longer and unfortunately we are very reliant on tourism which will be severely impacted for a very long time. Short term things will be OK but I think medium to long term we will be in a much worse position unfortunately and the economic impact will be felt. I really hope I am wrong and everything returns to normal sooner rather than later. Have been to the supermarket a couple of times in the last fortnight and still can’t get any flour.......Stay healthy everyone and look after your family.
No times for RC projects as work is simply too damm busy. Look forward to seeing everyone’s projects progress.

Prices in Japan

It is very very frustrating on EBay as you can’t filter out a Country where at time their sellers have lots of items at unrealistically high prices. I would love to filter Japan out. Does anyone know how to?
