  1. my son took his arrma "ballistic missile" kraten out for a blast along with his revo he managed to get 10 mins before the spear gear decided to leave the building went to swop it for the revo only to find the glow plug had given up the ghost and he didn't bring any spares with him so that was the end of that
  2. not a fan of rock music tbh butttttt its really catchy and match's the video perfectly sounds like it could be from the 80's also I LIKE IT
  3. just treat your trim button the same as manual trim buttons ie if it says all the way down on a manual then do the same for yours
  4. wow and i mean no disrespect to you but i can't believe you have not seen this absolutely brilliant film i brought it year ago when i was recovering from a operation and i must have watched it over 100 time since then it has to be in my top 5 fav films and prob at no'1 tbh i got mine from amazon i have just checked amazon and their and ebay and their are some for sale
  5. ok so i just watched the film again and got to thinking about the model shop where malcolm buys the 3 hilux 44b models for the use in the trash cans and i thought is this model shop still open. then i found this on a site "rctoymemories.com" and apparently David parker messaged them and he say that it was a real shop ... here is what he says..(you will see the text in purple) Update 11th July, 2021 – A special little footnote… David Parker (the Producer, Writer, and Cinematographer of “Malcolm”, along with many other famous Australian films) stopped by here at R/C Toy Memories recently, and graciously let me know he appreciated this article. I don’t think there’s any harm in sharing the message David sent (it would be a shame not to), and it contains some amusing insights into the Sand Scorcher. So here it is…
  6. i had the original t-maxx pro .15 and converted it to the 2.5 and the only time anything cracked or bect on the frnt was when i stoved it into a butter at w.o.t apart from that noting really went wrong on it
  7. for me i used to follow his channel on u-tube but tbh i really really dont like him for what he has got thanks to his subscribers and freebees from suppliers he really dont do anything for them and he don't deserve what he has in my opinion the only channel that was worth watching was matteo and he really has not done anything for a while it really shows how these retailers think of potential and actual customers and also this rckicks chavy also why should us guys that dont have much give these so called celebs more than they already have esp as they dont appreciate what use "fans" do for them
  8. what a great great series i do have that on dvd and watch it often i thing the beetle was in a few episodes.it did move around the set if you look and for me the jokes have aged very well esp in comparison too the crap you get today
  9. or you can use window tinting film as i have on one of my trucks
  10. yeah there aint many left out their know and thanks it was mint and i kept it that way i only hope the new owner will do the same
  11. seeing as this was my first claim i did not know about the buy it back but if the insurance had of offered that i may have brought it back but tbh with the new car tax hikes comming in april i would have copped that as it was due in may and tbh i would never pay what it will be going to so it would have been sorn and left there and never used again plus with all the di-k heads on the road these days who cant drive and dont care about other road users i aint bothered in driving anymore and yep the damage was not that bad i would prefer to have put new oem parts on but trying to find a n.o.s wing and bumper from ford would prove very difficult and i def would not use aftermarke/veng rubbish on it and i aint a fan of filler so that was also not a option of repairing the damaged panels
  12. so i found a update on the car today after the insurance finally got back to me as to why it was not showing in copart apparently it went through copart and sold the last part of jan and was re mot'd the end of jan also even though it was mot'd till may 25 so i looked up focus st170 for sale and there it was for sale on a car dealers so i am really glad it will live on and it did not go to someone to strip it for parts
  13. yep same here shame its a iceland frezzer shop now mind my first rc came from the wolverhampton branch
  14. same here but mine was in gbp then my amp deceided to drop a channel on me so i gotta wait till my 2 other vintage amps come back from service so i can take that one in for repair lucky for me mend it mark on u-tube fixes all my stuff plus iam still waiting for a re-re damon hill or nigel mansel f1 but i dought that will happen
  15. if i remember the wheel i brought for my grand hauler are extra speed and mimic the tamiya hopup wheels that could be got at the time i brought them and the quality in my eyes are great
  16. i would say try a hair dryer but not a heat gun or you might get away with accertone that is used when removeing the old foams from speakers
  17. yeah i saw something on this last year but took no notice of it but i do have a mk1 revo that is on the list and tbh i dont want to have to send it back to them via filling out the online form as i have owned this from new when it was finally released here in the uk following the problem with they had with the charger that caused us in the uk to have to wait even longer for it to hit the hobby shops but to me mine has a sentimental value to it as mine was the first one to be sold by my lhs i would like traxxas to just replace the dodgy items with none dodgy items that way it would save a lot of time and money on their behalf
  18. my son says the tickets include grandstand but it don't say where or if when i have read somewhere the last 5 miles can take around 2 to 3 hrs so we may stay in a hotel close to it and set of early to save driving through the night i will take food and drinks with us as i cant afford that kind of money for food (my son can carry the bag) and i will take a folding chair as i do have health probs to deal with i says their is a dress code is that for the rich attendees or for everyone as i plan on wearing shorts if its hot as i need to stay as cool as i can. would a pair of ear defenders be a good idea?
  19. hi all and a merry christmas so my son has got me tickets for goodwood next year. now this will be my one and only time of going and its on the saturday now my question is has anyone on here gone to this in the past as i would like a heads up on what to expect ie travel food/drinks "prices" thunderbox's distance around goodwood and really anything else i would need to know
  20. i can well believe that esp seeing it only has 59k on it prob the lowest miler 5 dr out there left and it will be such a shame if that happens tbh it took the wing also also it is hard to see but it has creased it above the wheel plus where the light meats the wing i had to laugh though when the insurance sent the assesser came to look at it he said the bumper would cost 2k for a new one ...yeah good luck in finding one at ford even the wing also and i would not have allowed none oem parts on it either seeing the condition of it if it would have gone for repair mind what made me smegging mad is i had their top cover with upgraded courtersy car and i never got offered one esp seeing it took over a month to sort the claim out with me doing all the leg work then when i told them that they said i did not have a courtersy car on my insurance what also got me was when my 2yr old grand daughter came last week she said to me where's grandads car so i had to tell her its gone to live somewhere else
  21. ok so toady i had to watch a much loved member of the family get taken away my mk1 ford focus st170 witch i have owned since 2009 and took me 2 years to find it originally so about a month ago my neighbour reversed into it not once but twice just done the bumper and the wing and the insurance rote it of last week so copart should have collected it but it got cancelled due to there driver not turning up so they arranged another recovery company to collect it and boy i can tell you it was really hard to watch it being loaded up and get took away it will only allow me to upload one pic
  22. ok so when i was loging out of my email i saw a article from the birmingham mail(uk) that you can get fined upto £5000 if caught driving with the wrong sunglasses now apparently there are 4 categorys being 1 to 4 and being 4 is the one where you can get done if pulled over by the police and your sunglasses fall into the num 4 cat as it sounds to me the same a window tinting on the front doors know i do have a pair of green lenses raybans and i have contacted them to try and find out what cat mine fall into but tbh they never herd of this so could not really help me dont know how it works but hey it seems like another way of ripping of drivers this is really a heads up to anyone who wears sunglasses wilst driving
  23. your not alone i dont have or want facebook either and i even don't have a phone.. I grew up with out this stuff and can still live with out it know i still love my tamiya stuff but i have scalled it all down to a zero these days due to the cost i have not brought anything rc related since the top-force evo re-re and can't remember the last time i used one of even touched them apart from dusting them
  24. that red looks like it is backed(base coat) with black. and kudos on using specialist paints i painted one of my trucks useing their paint and cant not fault it tbh the 2k is fantasic you will need to get it sprayed in a day as it will tend to go of in the can after that i would never use tamiya paint again after my first truck i used tamiya paint the paint cracked all over and i can tell you when replaceing a truck shell and all parts it gets expensive at around 1/2 the price of the kit the car is also paint with kustom canz the finish on the truck is as from the can with out the need to sand or polish the 2k coat in any way it lays down that good
