Hobgoblin 1059 Posted March 22, 2020 The answer is always run! I have worked on my CAD of the Doomerang to include a front bumper. This will be functionally useless as a bumper as it ticks every single box for what a bumper shouldn't be but it looks rather swish I think 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

a.w.k. 665 Posted March 22, 2020 Finished my latest crawler build, a ISUZU body on a MST CMX. The car was sold in germany as Opel Frontera. 90s german police livery. Lights, light bar and horn in working order. The Hilux driver got painted like a 90s german police officer. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter_B 997 Posted March 22, 2020 Ordered a Hornet kit. I didn't plan to order a Hornet kit. I saw a post on FB advertising one for £95, with the ESC, and thought it was a good price. I did intend to get a Hornet at some point, my first Tamiya was a Hornet, so I can tick that box now. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fun car to drive and very responsive. Well finally got it finished and all put together! Got it running and just took it out in the road for a quick spin about! Tell you what these brushed motors still fly. It has a 19 turn that I used to run. It’s no slouch the refresh is complete 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderDragonCy 7881 Posted March 22, 2020 Gave Ultra G a quick spin in the (thankfully completely empty) park with its new lid on. Don't know whether it's Emperors New Clothes, but it doesn't half shift! I guess saving 200grams off the shell will do that. Really wish the stickers were proper flouro. love this buggy though. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By the way hows the Stadium Thunder? Sounds like a plan! Love the stadium thunder, taking some getting used to in terms of putting the power down and not spinning off. It's a lot more responsive than the lunchie, although that's not difficult! Hope you and your family are well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferruz 11702 Posted March 22, 2020 It's my lady's birthday today, and when she turned on her screen she got this e-card (the odd word for birthday being pun between us, involving part of her name). Pretty proud of it and she loved it 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moffman 5752 Posted March 22, 2020 Started my dark impact today! It's got to last me on the build side because I'm probably going to need it at the weekend's after work if I'm gonna be stuck indoors for the forseeable? So that all I'm doing this weekend! Mind you I'm having trouble with the brushless motor fitting but I'll get there! 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathon Gillham 4606 Posted March 23, 2020 Just been out and stocked up on balsa wood and a few other bits and pieces. If we're going to have to stay inside for the foreseeable future then I may as welll make another yacht. I could probably make one in 12 weeks, just need more lead and some plaster of paris and I think I'm pretty well set. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just heard about the new government restrictions and my immediate thought was I needed to rush out and get a crawler ESC to tinker with in the coming weeks of being locked down. I might need to rethink my life priorities. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just did a stocktake, almost out of rolled oats and can't get them anywhere, but have 28 bottles of wine and 4 doz beer. Should last to the weekend.
