How Do People React When They See You (adult) Driving An R/c?
28yoKid replied to ArancioC5's topic in General discussions
When people see me they are really positive! Most people want to buy one either for themselves or for their partner! A pumpkin doing 360s is always gonna be cool, whatever age! -
will be there around 10:30! 28

Sorry to hear about the clicking. I run brushless with my FD and the gearbox is fine, no clicking. The only thing I would suggest is looking at which holes you are using to attach the motor to the rear gearbox case. In my wild dagger I used the wrong ones and although it drove there was clicking as the contact between the pinion and the spur was too light; which allowed some play in the other cogs. When I changed the holes, the contact between the pinion and spur was greater, tightening up the whole gbox, and the clicking was gone! I know the FD motor plate has lots of diff hole options depending on the pinion you are using, so have a play around! Good Luck. 28

Nostalgia for me. And also the fact that the models are largely iconic. I like the way that they need some work to get them to perform at the top level. I can't see the fun in buying something that does 50 mph out of the box and will never need upgrading...! I love the way my models evolve.

Hi all, my transmitter alkaline batts are starting to show the amber light. So time to get some rechargables and a charger. Any recommendations??? I would prefer a charger that cuts out once the batts are done. Cheers 28yok

I was at Sandwich Bay. I am in Ash, Nr Sandwich! -
Hi all, took the pumpkin out to the beach today. Got a few pics so thought I'd post a couple: The pumpkin is proving to be tougher and more reliable than other more 'modern' bashers. The astute among you will notice that the front grill is missing. The unastute will need to be informed that this is in fact a rather fashionable cooling aid.

Which Esc/motor To Create Fire Breathing Fire Dragon?
28yoKid replied to 28yoKid's topic in Vintage Tamiya Discussion
Ran the FD for 7 metres today before the Front wheel came off! Man I am having really bad luck with the FD. I have only manage to have 1 proper -run out the battery- run since I have had it! All the wheels appear to be cracked, even the new ones I have only just put on. I was careful with over tightening too. So now I need some indestructible wheels! Will post when they are on. 28 -
Latest Pumpkin Mod
28yoKid replied to 28yoKid's topic in Monster Trucks, 4x4, Wheelie Rigs and Crawlers
Took the pumpkin out today, was fantastic fun. The sport tuned with a 4600mah is a great combo! The mono-shock started off well, but in the end it cracked the chassis where it attached. When I got home I put some stronger springs on the front CVAs, which I had attached to the front wishbones, and replaced the mono-shock with the original shocks from the front, which give a nice soft travel and don't appear to rub the motor either! I am sure you will be pleased to see that the Pumpkin is now back to it's 'normal' proportions... -
Thanks Jonny! I def will be finding the bearing info a saviour! Also thanks for your service expectations.

Hi Chris, Thanks for taking the time to test-run! It is always a bit of luck for me when someone does that. Up to today, all prods/prices were mock. I definitely don't have 65 smackers!! Thanks for pointing out about the errors with the contract. I have a new contract that I will upload before trading starts. ps I will def drop an email re the bearings Thank again, 28

Mr Freeze and Matisse! Thanks for your kind words. I am aiming to stock as much as I can for sale. However, I will prob start out with cars 1st then motors/wheels...etc... Gotta learn to walk, then run! But I am aware of your needs so don't worry! If you want anything -just ask. What speed of delivery would you be happy with? Thanks 28
