Hello folks. Can someone tell me how to block a specific member from bidding on an auction. I looked around and found how to block general bidders ie: less than -1 feedback, out of country etc. However nothing to name specific members ? Reason I ask is I received a nasty email from someone I never even knew existed that was a complete surprise ! Thanks.

Congrats on your dagger ! (if you want another check my trades []). Check here for motor suggestions: http://tamiyaclub.com/CS/forums/thread/157743.aspx If the timing is 0 degrees, then you just reverse the +/- wires on one of the motors. (in the clod buster the special motor goes in the back I assume the dagger is similar). Also, I believe the kyosho magnetic mayhems are around 27 turns and one comes reversed.

I forecast an item no one here was expecting. My belief is another adaptation of a current vehicle chassis, as that is what Tamiya seems to favour []. Oh, and of course RTR for the kids !

Congratulations on your txt-1's arrival ! Welcome to the txt club [H].

Welcome back to tamiya ! It's no different now, you should probably choose something that will have parts widely available: Off road buggy try the Gravel Hound / Rising Storm / Dark Impact. Truck try the Twin Detonator (4wd). There are a few re-releases like the Thundershot / Top Force but they are "re-releases", keep that in mind. However, just about any recent release will do ! You could make it really easy by checking my "trades" section, I have at least one new built on ebay right now [].

Thanks chaps ! (nzl60 & Cul-Tech especially). Problem resolved. I fitted some traxxas shafts today - took it out for a test run and it all held together []!

Thanks terry.sc. I will ignore the blue wire as I won't be using any KO stuff. []

Just got my new lrp quantum pro reverse esc. One question - Where does the FET-Servo lead from the esc (small blue wire from the esc) get soldered to ? The included instructions say to solder it in place but they don't say to what ? Any help would be appreciated, thanks. (That's right, I don't know my electronics [:|]). Cheers.

hey neo. yep, bought the punisher shafts from rc4wd and they blew apart. rc4wd is currently experiencing some product defects with those, he advised me replacemnts will be coming in may. I can't wait that long []. Thanks for the info, I don't really want to grind anything but I do want to start running ! Just ned some part numbers.................

Hey everybody. Well I need to replace my driveshafts on the txt-1 as my wheelbase has been extended slightly and the "other brand" ones I had purchased were defective. I have seen some people use E-Maxx driveshafts. Can anyone inform me what part numbers I need to order all the parts required ? Also, will they bolt right on ? Or even better, if anyone has some I'll pay you for expedited shipping because I'm dying to get the truck out !

Just put my punisher shafts into my txt-1. Pulled the trigger on the radio, it moved about 1 foot then stopped as the driveshafts spun in place ! The little pins slid right out ! Email sent to rc4wd. Hopefully mine will work out as the bruiser shafts [:|].

So, it looks like you got the batch made between october & december 2005 eh ? Hopefully my txt-1 shafts aren't old stock ! I'll know soon enough [].

Ouch ! I just recieved my "punisher" heavy duty shafts for my txt-1 from rc4wd. I run the HV Maxx brushless so now I am a little concerned. I checked the rc4wd website and the following warning was under the picture of the punisher shaft on the txt-1 parts section: Note: If you purchased a Punisher Shaft for TXT-1 from Oct to Dec 2005 and experiencing problem with the pin on universal joint, please contact us via our support site at www.rc4wd.com/support/ to get a replacement (we will need your order #) Maybe yours is one of the bad ones ? I sent an inquiry to rc4wd myself about another product, it was just a question but I never got a response. However, when I have made an inquiry about something I've ordered it's usually answered quickly. They definitely have some quirky business tactics over there. Hopefully my shafts won't be destroyed on my first run ! I'm just waiting for my stainless steel kit to arrive then I'm up and running for the new season. Overall, I have been pretty happy with my service at rc4wd [].

Yep - Snakebite is hideous ! You are right about the QRC Tranny ! The two kits have been in that Hobby Shop a LONG time because the boxes are nearly completely faded and they aren't in the window anymore ! I did some searching online figure they hit the market around 1997 maybe a bit earlier. For those not familiar here: Kyosho Snake Bite Truck (Yuck): http://rcbuyersguide.com/detail2.asp?product_id=205 Kyosho Baja Beetle (a little better): http://rcbuyersguide.com/detail2.asp?product_id=206 So, are these good finds or just over-priced Kyosho has beens ?

I was out in some LHS's yesterday and spotted one TXT-1 priced at $649 Canadian []. I then spotted another at $549 at a Canadian Online shop. So you definitely have to shop around ! Especially when those prices don't even include the 15% sales tax ! I have a sneaking suspicion that the txt-1 is soon to be discontinued so get one while you can.

Hey fellas, thanks for the replies []. I have some Mayhems in my G-Made Clod but they are too slow ! Reason I started thread is I am building a Thundertech Rage Clod over the next few weeks and I want some speed, I think I'll go with a couple of Venom 17 turns. I just picked up my first non-novak esc for it a LRP Quantum Pro Reverse (7 turn limit) []. Anyway - keep the recommendations coming, because I like a lot of choices ! Plus we can build a list of motors for new clod owners that won't require the endbell to be turned (too much like work).

Hey everyone, I was in a LHS today and spotted a Marui Galaxy blue NIB Roll Cage set for sale ! It had "customer special order" written on the price tag so I guess he never came to get it. Just curious if this was a rare sighting or if they are actually common [:S] as I'm not much of a Marui guy ? If you are wondering I think it was priced at $40 CDN.

Hey all, Was in a LHS and spotted a few badly faded boxes which contained a NIB Kyosho Snake Bite Nitro Monster Truck and a Kyosho Baja Beetle Nitro MT. I seem to recall these from a very long time ago. Is the snakebite modelled after a real monster truck ? That seemed to be the idea on the box ? Any thoughts on these two ? They both had the price slashed to 359 bucks but still seemed kinda pricey !

WOW [H]. Now I have to sell my new built Blizzard EV to upgrade to this sweet ride ! Now accepting offers.................................

Hey all, Well, would it be possible for someone to post a list of motors with 0 degree timing for us Clod owners that would like a jump up in performance (speed) without getting the special motors with reverse timing and no patience to turn endbells around ? Of course still swap the +/- wires on one of them right ?

Hey, I had a nib double dare take close to 7 weeks to arrive in canada from the usa and it's the same continent ! It was surface mail, but if you paid for expedited shipping you shouldn't have it too late. I would advise the seller that you will be making a claim with paypal/ebay if it doesn't arrive by a certain date. Of course this may be easier than trying to make a "lost" claim with the post office.

Good job fellas ! I like the Lunchbox submission - the entry asks for a bruiser re-release at the end of the description. Sneaky !

Interesting, my only input is that for visitors coming to the site for the first time - they may be unlikely to see actual r/c models in the showroom updates section with all th extra little "goodies" being added. I think if they are just passing by they may not use the "more" button to see all the latest additions which could be the "one" that gets 'em to stick around a little bit longer. Me however, I check the site so often I seem to have the showroom additions memorized [].

Hey Twisty - been a long wait ! I'm glad you got a refund []. You are a risk taker that's for sure. I'm sure another legit one will pop up soon !

If your Twin Detonator is now set up for 2 battery packs go for the Super Duty. It can also be wired for one battery pack with a small mod. HEre are the details of the speed control, you can't go wrong. It is made for dual battery dual brushed motor set-ups: http://www.teamnovak.com/products/esc/supe...tyxr/index.html It's a mean ESC [H].
