I'm sure my son has a great Ford focus that would be Ideal, I'll check and try to get some pics

Public Liability insurance Do you have any? Years ago when I few RC aircraft I used to have a basic insurance so if I had an accident and did damage at least I wouldn’t get stung. My question is does anyone bother with insurance for just normal bashing after all if a nitro car or even a good electric car went off at high speed it could cause a fair bit of damage and if a RC car hit a small child it could be horrendous.

I’m not one for rocking the apple cart but I feel someone has to, It’s now Christmas eve, surely there should be a winner by now? I appreciate that me asking might upset a few of the powers that be, but if you put competition on a forum or club with set deadlines then surely you have to run by your own rules? Congratulations to the Winner & a merry Christmas to all

Most of my models are just used as and when. I have never found any good / fun local clubs

Hi I've been looking over many forums for inspiration on lighting for my Tamiya box trailer and the winner so far has been LED's but while watching TV this evening I had one of those eureka moments when I spotted the Christmas tree is lit with one lamp supplying thousands of little fibre optic strands. So I know one stand wouldn't be noticed but if they were fitted in groups of say 10 or so they should work. So my question would be is this just pie in the sky or has someone already done this? Thanks Jay

I Imagine that they must be like the hydroplane flying things, probably made of foam with a brushless setup and multi channel radio, throttle, steering / rudder, elevator for flight and maybe even some sort of pitch control, Would be fun for off road tracks, no need to worry about suspension travel

Hey Merry Xmas to you all from me and my family up here in a very frozen Scotland

I have the TXT-1 and the 350 High lift I would say there is more of a build in the high lift and especially with the 3 speed gearbox, there is also loads of extras for it. If it where me I would say the high lift or even a rig unit, suppose it’s all down to personal taste

I’m not sure if there is a hard and fast rule, I tend to do each one on their own merits sometimes its easer to follow the outline of arches and skirts once there painted other times it’s better before. If you trim if 1st just leave the external protective film on and pop some masking tape over any exposed surface. One thing to remember is take your time and if using several colours put the darkest on 1st then the light That’s all assuming your painting a lexan shell, Also do a quick search on the forum as there are some great tips ( like warming spray cans in warm water to thin the pain) Hope this is of some help :-)

Here is the manual for the Aeromax Basically the same chassis You need a servo fitted to select each gear , the servo just holds the selector rod in that gear http://www.tamiyaclub.com/manuals.asp http://www.fusionhobbies.com/v/vspfiles/V4...ight_hauler.pdf The plastic clips are there just to lock it in one selected gear if you’re not using multi channel radio Hope that is of some help :-)

Just wanted to say....Thanks I was very impressed with your service when I bought a selection of parts. Great communication and fast shipping and great price too. The other great thing is they are consistent I have bought things before from them and the service is always spot on Thank You And have a good Christmas

If you don't tell my other half I'll take it and hide it somwhere :-)

I could be wrong but I think that magazine went belly up or was renamed

I would happily remove my other topic sorry for the mistake I know not to do that agin

I’m selling my newly completed billings Smit London / Rotterdam E-bay auction with no reserve I’ve had my fun building it and now it needs a new home you can even say you built it My e-bay listing

So have I missed something but who won or has it not been decided yet? Topic Locked Please don't start a second topic when you're already asking the same thing elsewhere; http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?...20&start=20 As soon as the results are known, they will be announced.

I’m going to be painting my box trailer shortly and was just planning on rubbing down all the surfaces with a very light grade then coating the whole thing in an etch primer the same as I use on the full size cars before applying the top coats. Someone might have a better Idea but that just my thoughts

ant88 I owe you a pint that work a treat Just striped my transmitter and rebuilt it with a self centring right stick , one quick flick and it works a treat Who on earth at Tamiya thought it was an easy way to operate the turn signals Thanks For all the help

Ok pulling my hair out now as I have spent far too long going through each of the setup procedures and still can’t get the dam turn signal /indicators working with the steering They work fin in hazard mode they even work left and right in the demo mode but the dam things refuse to work with the steering. Please someone must know what I’ve done wrong Ok rant over

Ok so its now the 16th, votes where to be in by the 14th So who got what votes?

Ok this is supposed to be how they work but still no luck :-(

Ok thought I would test out the MFU for the F350 and it looks ok but I can’t get the indicators / turn signals to work with the steering. I have tried the setup but can’t get the problem figured out on my knight hauler they come on when the steering is at full lock but they won’t come on at all unless the hazards are set. Has anyone got a clue as to what I’m doing wrong?

PM sent with e-mail for pics :-)

Well unless my PC was playing up it looks like it went down in the early am approx 1am GMT This isn't normally a problem but it happend just as I went to send a PM :-( Anyone else notice any problems?
