  1. I am pretty sure that electric cars will fade out after a couple of decades or sooner to make way for hydrogen vehicles as the hydrogen is renewable and less damaging to the environment than mining all of the minerals out of the ground and making the lithium battery's also when the battery's die the car is scrap or replacement battery's are silly money. I think the concept of electric cars are good but the are not very green but whatever you do is not 100 percent green it always has a downside. The hydrogen powered vehicles seem more green as you could get existing vehicles with ICE engines converted over to hydrogen which means you save on all of the energy making a brand new car also when an engine wears out it is usually rebuildable were as battery's are more difficult to dispose of/recycle. This is just a theory I have about vehicles but something totally different could happen I guess only time will tell. I think ICE vehicles will be around for many more years yet but probably in less numbers compared to now.
  2. Hi I don't know if this has come up before Just wondering if it is possible to do a upgrade on the monster beetle steering servo horn to prevent the wheel wobble over bumps as the front wheels look like they cant make their mind up what lock their on and wobble like a jelly lol Thanks in advance.
  3. Hi All It has been a while since i posted on here I hope it is ok to put none Tamiya items on here. I have a Toyota Tundra i would like to sell it is in fair condition with lights and it is fully ball raced as far as I can remember it drove well it has no radio gear installed though It has many hop ups it has had a alloy lift kit and is coil sprung as apposed to leaf springs I am looking for around £350 ish but am open to offers. I also have a 21 century toys 1/6 ww2 M5 Stuart tank which comes with hand set it did run well has sound but the main battery died the turret only rotates one way so it might ravel its wires up it has a little bit of damage to the hull screw together turrets i do not have a clue what to ask for that. I will get pictures taken later of the tank. The last vehicle i have is a 1/10 nitro monster truck which comes with a few spares and bits it will need a receiver and hand set maybe some servos but it was one built from magazines it seems to be complete with all of the magazines and some used and new spares. It looks unused I am thinking of around £300 for it but am open to offers. I am based in the uk all vehicles will be sent via APC next day courier or can be collected if easier
  4. Hi Have you tried re programming as it should have a red light from memory not green on a standard motor
  5. Nice Helicopters I am selling a Tamiya CC01 Toyota land cruiser black edition which is boxed i am looking for £145 posted in the UK if interested.
  6. Hi I have an opel calibra v6 in good condition with one mint shell and one battered shell it drives nice. it also has its original box and manual. I just thought I would mention it. I am based in the UK too
  7. Really sorry @J@mes The FAV sold yesterday afternoon Honda NSX still available Also I have a nitro TNS chassis car Opel calibra V6 DTM TA 02 boxed with 2 shells
  8. Hi Grumpy Pants I Like the thread I will want to try and use my Tamiya cars more this year and have fun with them I decided to sell about 19 cars or so to shrink the collection but I still have around 20 left which are all my favourites. So I have decided to keep the cars I have and enjoy them and improve them a bit. The only problem is is there is always a car that catches your eye but I will try to resist and save my money.
  9. I would recommend the MFU 01 as it dose sound something like and it does suit the truck. Were as the MFU 03 is more continental trucks like Scania's and Volvos. The standard motor works well in the truck they tend to go a little fast though so a torque tuned motor might be better.
  10. Wheelie *SOLD* Fast attack and Honda NSX still available I will be taking pictures today I have just found one of the NSX that I saved from the eBay auction
  11. Have you checked the connections in the receiver, also are the motor connections tight to get on. I don't run brushless so not my area of expertise but I just thought it could be one of those as I have had problems like this.
  12. I Recently rebuilt a Nitro Tamiya TNS chassis that was fitted with a SMT 15 engine but it would have originally had a FS12 engine. I would have thought you could fit any engine in it as long as it had the right mounting brackets and dimensions to fit the chassis. I rebuilt the engine on mine and the piston was fine so was the liner. the things I would look out for on the engine is weather there is a step in the liner the piston has significant scratching or wear. and to see if the con rod is bent which would restrict the piston stroke from memory the piston should reach the top of the liner more or less.
  13. Hi All I wondered if anyone would be interested in a WR02 VW wheelie which is half built up I built the chassis and ball raced it all including the gear box. The body shell is brand new with stickers still in box. I also fitted a Tamiya 27mhz receiver TRU02 it has a 104 BK and I think a Tamiya servo if you didn't want the radio gear I could take some of the price. I would like around £200 for it as it owes me that. I have also got a shelf queen Honda NSX TA03 F which is in superb condition with no marks on the underside and a nice paint job it is un boxed with no manual but does have a new set of stickers. I would like £200 OBO Lastly a vintage Fast Attack Vehicle which will come with all sorts of parts and bits it will need to be gone through as I have never used it so don't know how good it is mechanically it has a servo fitted but no other electrics it is pretty complete and doesn't look like it has done lots of work I would like around £100 I will take some photos Regards Doc
  14. Looks great I really like the extra detail it adds to the car. It must have been very hard to design and make with all of the separate parts.
  15. Hi All I hope you are all well and had a great Christmas Thank you all for your thoughts and ideas I appreciate that you have taken the time to help me I must admit prices are always all over the place. I did decide to let it go as it was going to someone locally. I hope I don't regret selling it
