    Everyone does it, a quick test drive out the front of the house and before you know it something has snapped. I did it with a really obscure Hobby Engine monster truck once, they are known for making RC excavators and tanks nowadays but a long time ago they once made a pretty cool twin 540 monster truck. I managed to snap one of the lower wishbone mounts off at the front. The entire world wide web has about one wheel nut to offer in terms of spares! A bit like the time I took my lovely old Radio Shack Red Arrow out for a drive and somehow let my 5 yo convince me to drive it around the skate park, when a 30 year old semi classic lands on it's roof from 15 feet up and red bits of plastic fly everywhere it can be pretty emotional.

    I have golden arrow body if you want it

    Thanks only checking if they were different 

    planning to sell them anyway 

    anyone know how much a uncracked unbroken grill will sell for ?

    You can buy an after market one from Shapeways.com If you don't mind non original. As that's a WW2 roll cage and there are no hinges it shouldn't make a big difference. The shells are in nice shape do you have a price in mind.

    I received my Kong on the 27th of June when I was away. It arrived and I was both excited and not. I've decided I will build it for my son's 8th birthday gift. He wants it box art. I've also decided part of my collection must go. Weird I'm torn.

    Today I boarded a Narrow boat for the first time in nearly 30 years at Trowbridge. I then proceeded to race 4 formula 1 employees at a rapid 2.5mph up the canals. 2 work for redbul 2 for Renault and i think a 5th worked for Mercedes... good fun. Miss my Rc though. Kong is waiting

    I arrived at my brothers house to be presented with mt nephews 2 rc cars a madbull and an ECX? I think it was. Anyway. Uncle David it wont work. Can you fix it? After brief inspection minor soldering required or new esc (preferably) and he will be all set. Kid has no patience but has potential.

    Someone had a link to a calculator but sorry can't remember who. I have looked into it for racing so from talking to other racers or shops, and some car manuals show it as well. Here in New Zealand classes are 17.5T blinky or mod (open motor and boost etc allowed) for outdoor or 8.5T blinky for indoor hence why i know the 17.5T and 8.5T. 10.5T could probably handle FDR around 8.5-9, I actually had that wrong, thr Tamiyas FDR would suit 8.5T or a bit below

    Lower FDR is higher gearing, and higher turn motor has more torque hence lower FDR. This should probably be in another thread rather than for sale/swap! Sorry @ThunderDragonCy!

    I think i have it saved somewhere. I look

    I just got two messages from UK members yesterday about other stuff so it should be working.

    So I'm flying into gatwick on the 27th of june does that help? Staying in andover Hampshire. Coming from Florida . Does this save on duties if I was say bringing an rc car for my nephew? Let meknow. Im supposed to be travelling light. But then again if im checking a bag at 45$ its better than duties plus shipping
