Spot on, you are absolutely right. I did a three hour round trip yesterday to UKs biggest hobby shop (I’d been meaning to go) I bought a couple servos and was having issues with them last night. Took your advice, gave this a go and wallah :-)

I will buy a Tamiya servo and stick with those going forward. Seems easier. Just testing you on the Futaba spelling ;-)

So just use that part screwed on directly? Any more tweaking other than cutting the other three arms off? Lesson i will take from this is buy Tamiya (and learn to spell Futuba!!) Radio gear will be here today so want to get it running, even if its just periodically while awaiting a Tamiya servo. Cheers,

Sometimes the answer is so simple. Parts being on the trees never dawned on me, I blame the heat! :-) Thanks,

Wondered if anyone could offer some advice (or has a picture) on how the HItec HS RS 322 HD should be put together? Here are the parts that came with it, along with the propeller shaped fitting already on the servo. Thanks

Welcome, I just built my first RC a couple of months ago, that was also a Hornet, really good fun to get started. You will need: Radio, Receiver, Battery (and charger), electronic speed control (my hornet came with one so yours may have also) and a steering servo. Hope that helps. Thanks,

Spot on thanks, I will give them a call in the morning.

I'm trying to source PC12 Silver for Hornet roll cage, struggling to get a pot paint. Too late to spray as I've already laid the black down, if id thought about it I could have bought a can of silver, masked and sprayed the roll cage and then the black on top. The stickers aren't going to cut it for me, look fiddly and not sure about longevity. Anybody know where I can get one or want to sell a pot? Thanks,

Thanks gents, much appreciated.

Can anyone help? Need to source the screws and bolts for the hornet wing. Never occurred to me a new shell wouldn’t come with any! Anybody know where I can get them? Thanks,

This is amazing. You effort was fully worth it :-) Just bought a bench and the first shelving unit...............so it begins!!!

Luckily you HAVE the junk, it's costing me a small fortune to accumulate mine, there's literally a delivery every day. I don't grudge it though, it keeps me out of trouble at home and helps de-stress after work, worth every penny!

Just what I was looking for (inspiration) thanks gents.

As time spent on my new hobby starts to grow, so does the accumulation of 'STUFF'. I've outstayed my welcome and been asked to vacate the dining room with immediate effect! Luckily I have a decent sized heated garage with a spare corner for my new hobby / obsession to move into. I did a search but can find a thread on members workshops/work space (if there is one please point me in that direction) So, I'm looking for inspiration, I have a blank canvass and wondered what everyone else has done with their little (or large) work space? Get those pics up.

Cool, bought the transmitter and receiver, will give your mod a god once received :-)

How do you go about that? are there female threads for the screws or are you doing a DIY? just about to press go on an order and was intrigued. Cheers.

Hi Wooders, Is this little lot what i need? https://www.banggood.com/FlySky-FS-i6-2_4G-6CH-AFHDS-RC-Transmitter-With-FS-iA6-Receiver-p-922606.html?gmcCountry=GB&currency=GBP&createTmp=1&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=cpc_union&utm_content=2zou&utm_campaign=ssc-gb-all-0601&ad_id=353020924955&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhJPw1N2C4wIVj0PTCh17Zgz_EAQYASABEgIXTPD_BwE&ID=42481&cur_warehouse=CN#jsReviewsWrap https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-New-Standard-FS-GR3E-2-4Ghz-3-Channel-Receiver-for-Rc-Car-Auto-Boat/292465956173?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D58656%26meid%3De60ab68a0b874188b46562638e7bfd8a%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26mehot%3Dag%26sd%3D123703729191%26itm%3D292465956173&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 https://www.banggood.com/Flysky-i6S-FS-i6S-Self-Centering-Throttle-Mode-Change-Part-p-1078595.html?gmcCountry=GB&currency=GBP&createTmp=1&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=cpc_bgs&utm_content=frank&utm_campaign=pla-mix-gb-pc-0602&ad_id=352946012145&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI67KDyN-C4wIVQ7DtCh3JuABdEAQYASABEgLiyfD_BwE&cur_warehouse=CN

Thinking of other potential reasons, I put a 540 Sport tuned in it which has a black and red wires, there is no black and red to connect it on the car, the wires are green, yellow and blue. I have just noticed Torque Tuned motors DO have green and yellow. Could that be the answer? swap the motor? (and whats the difference for that matter) Or A Google search let me to an article about opening the controller and swapping the left stick so that back was now forward. Any thoughts appreciated.

No joy with that nothing changed unfortunately. Could it be the receiver? I didn’t do any ‘binding’ between them!

One of the controls

I was a bit underwhelmed with my Hornet until I realised it was going faster in reverse! Played around swapping the motor wires and got it going in the right direction. Now it seems I must pull the left stick backwards for the car to go forwards, is this normal? I much preferred the feel of pushing forward to make it go that way. Ive googled but can’t seem to find anything specific to my setup. any ideas?

Picked a Manta Ray up at the weekend. I will update this as I go, as planning something bit different in terms of colour etc. Appreciate everyone's reply's

My four year old calls it "daddy's new car that flips", oops. Cant wait to get them into it, proper father son stuff that!

My Cheap SRS2 has a left throttle however the Flysky FS i6 appears to be right hand throttle, does that confuse things? I could just use the FS i6 for all my cars and save the SRS2 for guests or the kids i suppose, I don't really need to touch it.

I think I will stay with sticks, not like i'm going to be racing them, its just a plod around a car park or beach etc and wait for my boys to be old enough to get involved.
