    Nice to see you guys again, and some new faces. My Savage was obviously centre stage being the most impressive thing in the world ever! I unfortunately put the one-way bearing in backwards when fitting a new bearing and pull start, so it ran in reverse. Oh wait a minute- It's got a reverse module... I was about 12 seconds away from getting the spanners out. [The main spanner {me} was already out!] No the proudest moment of my adult life, but no-one noticed! Not. :lol:

    Till next time-

    Hi guys and girls, I have a NIB Swift for sale (or trade for touring car/ Axial/ Crawler stuff). Comes as you'd expect, but the box is a little bit tatty. Comes with full decent bearings, paint and Tamiya ESC. Can be supplied with radio gear if required. Can also be built and painted if you don't like doing that!

    Let me know what you have

    Looking for offers in the region of 100 posted [recorded] in the UK

    Cheers

    I think you need to have a look around matey!

    • 2.4ghz heli your gran could fly, and looks cool for under 150?!
    • Nitro trucks that even I can tune, and actually tick over?!
    • New facets appearing all the time? [Drifting and crawling to name a few]
    • Brushless motors coming down in price....
    • Easy/ cheap order from internet/ abroad

    If you're talking about the general advance of mankind, then yes we're still using steel and aluminium, and yes the hover-board hasn't really happened yet (all in their mid to late twenties were PROMISED this by 1995 ;), I'm still waiting!)

    In 1990 I was repairing my Nikko with lolly pop sticks and sellotape, cos I couldn't afford another untill next Christmas. Now I have more toys than I can shake a stick at, and a fiancee that limits my purchasing. I think we have it pretty good...

    I have recently bought a Savage and an E-Maxx. At the moment I am deceiding whether or not to sell the Savage to buy a decent brushless system for the e-maxx... Or sell the E-maxx for Savage hop-ups. I can't see me running both.

    Sorry, my comments are of no use to anyone- And you can quote me on that!

    Thanks matey- I recon if it had a description and the seller had feedback there's no reason it wouldn't have gone for 200 ish. Just hope it works later! My mate who works in a model shop will be on the case with it!!

    18 months ago I paid 80p for a litre of fuel, and everyone was kicking off cos it was going up 2p every copule of weeks (sometimes more) and getting close to the 1 mark. It's now nearly 7 a gallon in some places ($13ish <_<). I earn my living from selling cars- In September I sold 4 cars. Last year for the same month I sold 15.

    Panic is setting in!

    Wait, so what do deans plugs and powerpoles actually do compared with the standard tamiya plug? How are they better?

    THanks.

    They have a lesser resitance, allowing more current thru, and are rated higher, meaning they are less likely to fail under high current drain (ie brushless or low motor turn) applications.
