Hello everyone, recently bought my son a brushed FTX Vantage 2.0, the steering seems a little slow to respond and he's already broke some parts anyway so looking at ordering some spares and an upgraded servo. Apart from going brushless / lipo are they any other must do upgrades? Also if I do run a lipo on it do I need a lipo alarm or does the esc have a built in one? Thank you!

Unfortunately the 3 batteries that wouldn't charge on the provided USB chargers just say low voltage on the imax b6 so looks like they're paperweights now.

Is it just 1A per every 1,000mAh? So 3,300mAh = 3.3A?

I've just bought my son an ftx vantage so I doubt the tracers will get much use now tbh I was just curious if I could bring the batteries back to life with my charger but it doesn't look like it can charge li-ion batteries. Out of curiosity how would you charge a 2S Lipo 3300mAh battery? I have a charging bag for it but I can't remember what charging rate, also is it just charge or balance charge?

Hi all, been away for a while as my kids lost interest in the hobby but they've changed their minds again 😂 I bought them FTX Tracers with a spare battery each but only one battery charges now using the supplied USB chargers, I was hoping I could charge them using an imax b6 but not sure what mode / power to charge at? Link for the battery in question https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/1332709 Thanks in advance, I know it's a very stupid question 😂

Managed to get the truggy working, stripped the back end down to get to the motor, it was very hard to turn but once it done a full rotation it was fine, reassembled now. Still very impressed for the money.

Picked these up from antics £54 each, well impressed until the motor stopped turning on the truggy within 10 minutes.

Unfortunately not I'm afraid, they were "rehomed" in November.

My first tamiya was a mad bull 21 years ago, my kids found it about a year ago in the attic and I managed to pick up another 2 on ebay for £27! So the 3 of us have them now, been a while since we've used them, my daughter is 4, my son is 6 and they absolutely love them and also absolutely ruin them but luckily they're quite sturdy, cheap and easy to repair.

All my stuff has now been sent to new homes, again, such a good idea & glad I could finally contribute. Bravo everyone involved.

No one else has shown interest, I have no problem with you having it all, it was literally going in the bin, it may take me a while to sort packaging out and I'd need you to pay for postage as I've been out of work for a while.

I thought these would have been snapped up by now, are they not old enough to be desirable for display and too old to be useful?

I meant to warn you to get a knife ready 😂

@sansoora @ploots pm me your addresses and I'll have a look for suitable packaging.

*Disclaimer* the ansmann sets came with a pair of mad bulls I picked up on ebay but I swapped to flysky FS-GT3Bs so I'm not sure if they work, the acoms sets are obviously years old and haven't been used in many years, if any of it is any good all I ask is you pay postage due to me being off work and you give me some time to find suitable packaging.
