Had some fun!

 

That thing looks quick! It sounded like you barely got it revving properly and ran out of road. Whats the plan to use it? Is there a racetrack nearby?

Was it a 5B?

This is a 5th scale buggy not a 1/10th.

Yep. HPI 5B SS

 

It would only take approx 650mah to recharge the pack after a tank. Would probably need a new battery now though, haven't used it in two years, shame as it has a just run in OBR racing motor (5 tanks) 😞

Enjoy yours, they are fun, but money pits.

YEEEOOUCH, Think they cut some of your credit card with those side cutters for plastic!!?!?!?!? WOW, I think I would have left them there.

Um, I can't figure if you guys are joking or are serious??? Really, it is just a scorcher.

 

Never serious mate! But don't hide those beauties in a box😉 "just a Scorcher" I'm afraid I'm going to have to correct you! It's an icon borderline work of art😍!

Completed the Subaru XV in preparation for the imminent arrival of my XV01.

Went for a modified light-off road look.  I might add a roof rack depending on how much time the car spends right side up.

Discovered that the ball diff in my B5m is more than a little bit goosed so it looks like I won't be racing it'll tonight. Instead I'll take my dt-03t and bigwig down to the local club and see how they perform against more dedicated racing tackle.

That sounds like fun! There is a lot to be said for being the underdog - no shame in losing, and any victories are extra sweet. Let us know how you get on!

Aren't all RC cars if you drive them like ya should?

[guitarman]

Fitted chrome door handles to the Pajero.

Sorted out how to tidy up the wiring for the lights.

Charged the battery.

 

 

[ThunderDragonCy]

Rebuilt the front end of the Thunder Dragon as the parts arrived today. Also resurrected the Restomod thread as I forgot I did it!

It was pretty busy, I started off trying to run the aqroshot but the track was too tight for it so I changed to the bigwig and it was surprisingly good. Not as fast or as manoeuvrable as a modern buggy but I managed to claim 3rd in the B final. At least I wasn't last lol. 

[TurnipJF]

Well done!

It's a fun/do some work on the rostrum etc night next week so it should be pretty relaxed. I'm toying with going down to Ayr this Monday for a wee play around too.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

just spent an hour chasing a fish that is holding babies in it's mouth after I had just moved her from my community tank to my breeder tank cause she started spitting them out when I dropped food for the other fish..... then as I would net her she would start spitting them out like there's no tomorrow....................... caught them all I think.... luckily the fry in my breeder tank arent that big so they cant eat the stragglers they just chased them... so if i missed one it'll either survive or die wasn't going to look for any more as I'm not sure even these will survive.

Momma #2 in hiding (yeah Im gonna have a ton of fry) had to put other in a temp fry tank as she was harassing this one.......

And ignore the foggy water as I literally had to pull out 90% of my decorations so she wouldn't hide anywhere else and it kicked up every fragment of poop and food that I just gave them prior to the ordeal. not fun chasing 1 fish when trying to avoid 32+ in a 3ft tank...lol

Had my first ever quadcopter/drone experience with my new Star Wars 74-Z Speeder Bike drone, flies not bad tbh. Going to hopefully take it outside today for a quick flight and some videos

[Badcrumble]

Just looked at my nearly completed M-chassis mish-mash and realised that I didn't follow the instructions when reassembling the M03 chassis.

I forgot to screw the battery compartment cover (C4) in at the start.

Oh ar$e. I really don't want to take it all apart again....but I will have to!

Ayr's brilliant I used to go all the time but with work etc I had to to stop going for quite a while but hopefully I'll be able to get back down now and again. 

Unfortunately I've not got Facebook so I can't see the pics but if it's a flip painted aqroshot and a sparkley bigwig then yeah they're mine.

I've been tarting up a shell from a crummy old toy grade to use on hobby grade stuff.

I'm not even sure if it's actually a Nissan, I just know the same factory (Jiahong) made a similar body that was definitely a Nissan and this one seems like it might be the same but altered to avoid copyright issues as it was made for Snap on tools. Jiahong themselves apparently don't give a crap about copyright as their version is obviously a Nissan and worse still has "clod buster" art work!

Anyway, I think it scrubbed up quite well for something that cost a few quid, working headlights and tailights too, just need to get those massive floodlig...I mean spotlights functional too!
