Me and the wife went to the ideal home exhibition about 3 years ago (2019) and excellent day out but just be careful mate if your purchasing! (Sorry only read this today so stable door horse bolted!) We had just did a total house renovation and right time right place we got free tickets so we thought win win? We needed new flooring and some kitchen furniture! The kitchen furniture never arrived and the company disappeared luckily we purchased them on a credit card so that eventually got refunded the flooring suppose to have a 25 year guarantee as I speak it's all splitting and cracking and you guessed it the company no longer exists so the cheapest quote I've got to repair and replace is the opposite side of £4,000 on top of the £2,500 for the rubbish that's already down (buy cheap buy twice?)........I got a chance of free tickets again this year........I declined!🤔

So the building industry in the UK is as bad as Australia then? Did we inherit it from you or have you inherited our industry?

After more than two years, today was on-road track day!

@Nicadraus Nice!  A huge milestone indeed.  

Yesterday I shook hands for the first time in like 2+ years!     (I was at my car dealership to get a recall service done on my daily driver).  

Slowly but surely we are making a come back!!

Thank you! Glad to hear such good news from you too.

I tightened my slipping diffs and had a play with no-jump garden stance.

The gills are a reflection from a radiator on the opposite wall, but they've given me an idea.

Used a circle cutter for the first time today.

Nothing rc related but just bought a new jet washer (karcher) it was on special offer with free patio cleaner equipment for under £100 after my old one started to leak water badly and not economically worth fixing! Spot the mistake when I was looking at the instructions trying to work out now the patio cleaner works?🤨

Doesn't UK mean Ukrainian? English is usually referred to as (EN). Unless I've missed something else on there?

Hi guys, I've been off the forum for over a week due to some difficult stuff going on in my personal life, only managed to pop in briefly over the weekend and posted on a couple of threads. Looks like I have many pages of this thread to catch up on and see what you guys have been up to!

However, I have been creating a new custom shelled buggy and finished it this evening, more to come on my DT-02 build thread which is proper out of date now so I need to do some staggered updates on that when I get time...

Right I'm off to start on my catching up, most of which will probably have to be done tomorrow now...

[Willy iine]

Hey good to see you back, @Kol__!   Nice looking car you got there!   Looking forward to more pictures.

They sent you their convicts so you returned the favour with the building industry?

(Sorry, kiwi, couldn't resist a burn on both our 2 closest cousins!)

My buddy from Melbourne says, “Australia is just the convicted.  The real criminals are still back in Britain.”

I did think that aswell but but there is a UKRN in the instructions which I thought was Ukraine? And no GB?

Australia is the ones who were stupid enough to get caught. You know, got caught stealing an apple.

How odd. Better get typing it into google translate then :o)

I think the odd thing about it is as a man I obviously don't look at the instructions but I genuinely didn't have a clue how certain parts went together?......and over the years I've built hundreds of rc cars  including the cat xls! surely that alone qualifies me to know how to put a jet washer together???

This alone gives you qualification!

just when i was convinced that i would keep the TD4 and not get a DT02 project i see this..... looks great bud.

 

[Willy iine]

Can the Egress dampers fit the DT02 above?   

 

For me, too much cow dookie going on this morning no thanks to my younger teen, I missed my chance to work on RC before work.. so hopefully after a few meetings this morning I can get back as I am WFH today.  The softy school system is ruining young kids' perseverance..   But that's another discussion for another day at a different site.     

I'm going to see if I can brainstorm a few ideas on how to make that rolling oil drain pan out of plasti-cards... hummm... 

[Frankster]

picked this up today.  Need a chassis now.  
 

considering Tamiya M05 ver 2 Pro or 3Racing Sakura M4 pro.  I can’t find Tamiya M-Four for a reasonable price. 
 

Anyone have other recommendations?

Nice grab.  If you're serious, (and not doing any TCS races) I would search for a TOP Racing Sabre Mini.. either FWD or 4WD.. they are my #1 m-chassis to date.

Finished another one! My TA03F-Pro David Jun restoration / rebuild is done 

Then tweaked slightly with different rims and matching springs for the CLK-AMG bodyshell
