tamiya monkey

Had my set a few years, wow they've really increased in price. But they are excellent.

Hi Mr Crispy, the colour of the roof was Tamiya XF-8 Flat Blue.

Not read this thread for a sometime, cracking job matey, but needs a little dirt i think.

MMMM Brown Mines lol, best bet is to leave it to dry, then using a suitable implement, simply brush and scape it off. Happened once with my newly built re-re frog.

Here's my new addition, had its first shake down today, nice easy build and good fun to drive. Fitted with oil shocks, 540 silver can, 19 tooth rw racing steel pinion, modesport xt-20 esc, carson wheels and tyres, turnigy servo and running lipo's.

Lipo Bunker lol, nice idea, the venom one is cool as you can monitor what your batteries doing whilst charging, ive never liked lipo charge sacks as you can't see whats going off, i charge and store my lipo's in a 50cal ammo box and touch wood had no issues, although i take precautions, i look after my batteries, i only buy branded lipo's (turnigy) and only ever charge at 1c.

hi there sorry took abit longer to check, but these batteries fit perfectly, the soft cased 2200mah one is wrapped in some foam to pack it out and to protect from damage but the the two hard cased ones fit a treat. http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__20390__Turnigy_nano_tech_2200mah_2S_40_80C_Lipo_Pack_TRA2820_Traxxas_1_16_models_.html http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__23134__Turnigy_nano_tech_Shorty_4200mah_2S2P_65_130C_Hardcase_Lipo_Pack_ROAR_APPROVED_.html http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__15520__Turnigy_3800mAh_2S1P_7_4v_25C_hardcase_pack.html

I have a number of lipo packs now and just finishing off my holiday buggy build, i will check which of mine fit and help suggest one that will work, but as GregM said you need a lipo protector or alarm as the Hpi esc you have doesn't have a built in cut off. i can recommend the hobbywing unit. actually he's given you some great advice and info in his post.

Just came across these while searching the net and thought i would post up the link. http://www.r2hobbies.com/1-10-land-rover-lrx-concept-pc-transparent-190mm-rc-car-body.html and http://www.r2hobbies.com/1-10-land-rover-lrx-concept-sport-analog-painted-rc-car-body.html

Hi there Modelsport have it in different sizes under Electric Accessories http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CategoryID=9920&SubCategoryID=992060&PageNo=2 its fastrax stuff in single cell and double cell.

Got mine through today, but ive had orders cant have them until my birthday, along with my holiday buggy yeh baby lol. Only two weeks to wait.

Well my holiday buggy got delivered this morning, nice prompt service from modelsport as normal. will have the stock silver can i think with a 19t steel pinion, already got plenty of turnigy lipo's that should fit and a modelsport xt-20 esc. Cant wait to built it and bash it. hopefully will have some cva shocks in my parts bim that will fit too.

This is the kind of event we all need, i missed the official tamiya club meet last year, so hoping for more like this one in the future.

Resistance is futile lol.

Just ordered two of the XT20's as i dont use motors beyond 20 turns, but for the price you can't go wrong, built by Mtroniks for modelsport, lipo cut-off built in and waterproof. http://www.modelsport.co.uk/modelsport-uk-trident-xt-20/rc-car-products/374108 http://www.modelsport.co.uk/modelsport-uk-trident-xt-12/rc-car-products/374109

If there blue and white, i would say the white is plus.

Just placed an order for a holiday buggy, so count me in, also with my quality driving im going to stick with a stock silver can lol.

Well just joined the club, just placed an order with modelsport.

Im assuming we dont need BRCA membership for the meet, just with it being a BRCA registered club.

How about a 12t traxxas titan, thats a 550 size motor.

Well its an excuse to get a holiday buggy now lol.

That looks the dogs, great price too.

If you were in the uk i would have sent you one in the post, ive got stacks of these things lying around.

I found speedmaster webpage although there's no mention of a gold version, not sure if this the same company http://www.speedmaster.co.uk/

Excellent work, i really liked my boxart runner, but now you've got me looking at re-painting it lol.
