Is the rising fighter a continuation of the fighter buggy RX or a completely new model?

A Monkey Bike. Had my first ever fall off one of those!! The model looks fantastic as well

If I think of anymore manufacturers i`ll givew you a shout

What chassis you using?

Is it 225mm your after?

L and L models do some decent ones. Kamtec are decent but you`d need to organise you own add ons, mirrors spoilers etc

I really am liking that. For a compact narrow chassis it looks very tidy and uncluttered, if that makes sense

I haven`t had time to blink lately much less do anything hobby related. Had to clear my area ( or the corner of the dining room as its better known) ready for the carpet fitters tomorrow so gave my shelves a bit of a clear up. Sat and looked at the Gwagon Snotmobile and it really isnt doing much for me looking at it and I don`t have time to run it, hence the post on the for sale add, looked at what i had to start messing with the defender and an interior etc but not a hope of starting on it so all in all a pretty slack time of it at the moment. So hows everyone else doing, either Tamiya wise, RC wise or just in general?

A silly question but is that not a bit heavy for "cheap" servos?

That is one good looking car mind

Anyone interested in the MF-01x Merc cabrio? As it stands, ballraced, esc, servo and motor in it, no radio gear. £100 posted UK. Give TC members first dibs before I advertise it else where

Has anyone else had a problem with a very soft front suspension with no rebound? The front of the Land rover goes down under virtually no pressure then stays down and doesnt rebound back to normal ride height, almost as if theres no spring assistance. The rears are fine. Is this a common fault and is there a fix for it. I havent checked the fluid levels in the dampers yet but theres no signs of leakage and I know they were filled to the brim when I assembled it.

Was it tamiya paint you used to back the body? I have had the same issue with Core rc paints where the nozzle requires regular cleaning IE after every coat or you get the same flakes and lumpiness but, touch wood, never had the same problem with Tamiya

Never had one so can`t comment. I actually had the champion 30 a few years ago and never had a bit bother with it. Never had an amp with the built in effects though, I`ve always prefered amp and stand alone pedals set up

Yep. Bought an Annsman mad rat years ago, wasnt too bad for the money couple of niggles with it`s quality but hit a kerb and smashed an arm a couple of years ago and now its knackered, spares are rarer than hens teeth. Tamiya though aside from the intial good quality theres still bits kicking about off 20 year old kits. What amp you after? and is there a LMS that would let you use your own guitar to test an amp with? Mine does in Huddersfield if I ask nicely and drop in a packet of choccy biccies when I go

Wow. I honestly hadnt realised Tamiya do that many motors

so the torque tuned would be more suitable for a cc-01 and give more grunt rather than top speed than a standard silvercan?

in my experience the pug had very adequate back seats but the 306 maxi was always a very good looking motor and Tamiya had the chassis right with the FF.

As per the thread title what's the difference please? As far as I rember 27 turns is about right for the silver an but what is the torque tuned or even dirt tuned and would either work on the TBLE02?

Different classes for those of us without lipo driven rockets?

Not much of a collection to remember at the moment. Basically the 4 4x4's and a Lunchbox and a handful of left over sprue parts. Slowly building back up though and a tractor unit of some description is next on the cards hopefully although may be a while before funds allow. Anyway any excuse for a piccy

Wow. Didn't know that one. Easy enough to strip and add the bushings?

Oh goody. 'Erbert's twin brother and something else to sneak past the missus

It does thanks. At the moment I have done a mock up with wiring to the sides under window level but that left the control unit in no man's land. Looks like the interior is the way to go

How has everyone mounted theirs? And how have you run the wires to keep them out of view? Is it best to mount the control unit to the body or the chassis?
