More parts for my sons DT-02 racer.

The Hobbywing Quicrun is an awesome ESC for the money.

My birthday gift

The Hobbywing Quicrun is an awesome ESC for the money.

Everyone here seems to love it so I thought I'd give it a go. I ordered it up for my Frog thinking I'd put the TBLE-02S into my sons DT-02 but I've since reversed that decision after looking at how nice the Hobbywing 1060 is. The jumpers should be way fast to change modes on the ESC and it has a CAP built right in. How nice is that?

I had to google what a redundancy notice was. Sorry to hear that you got one of these.

DT02/003 + Hobbywing Quicrun 1060 ESC + 20 turn brushed motor + 2S 25C 4000mah lipo = no issues.

Total shock - did't see it coming at all . However thinking about it , it could be a blessing in disguise as i was thinking of leaving anyway . Time to rethink my life and maybe work in a totally new sector . However the sense of betrayal after working for my employer for over ten years leaves a very sour taste at the back of my throat .

Not seen these before (only the blue chrome and gold ones) so snapped them up:

Today I received a Mad Bull bodyshell. It had been on backorder for months, and while I am sure I had something great in mind for it when I ordered it, I can't for the life of me remember what it was...

Sounds like you knew you needed to MTFU and leave. Fingers crossed something good comes of it man, that's not nice.

EDIT : Get a better job and get more Tamiya to share with us

Don't tell the wife.....I have the dog bones already and CRP bearing supports

Plus some hard propeller shafts for my TA02's

[StrokerBoy]

A card, telling me he'd tried to deliver my next project this morning while I was out. Doh !

[Wez-li]

A TL01... I don't even like TL01's

Hope some good comes of it in the end mate.

Today Mr Postie delivered this for me .

A bit like Marmite, you either love it or hate it. Personally it makes me smile so I love it

I never expected anything like this but, I really could get my hands on a true Mk1 Hotshot spare part. It is a new unused Mk1 front bumper stay of the early Hot Shot model which is different to all later Mk2 Hotshots.

[Grumpy pants]

Some bright yellow R clips from RC Bearing and some double sided pads.

I'm totally with you on this one, a bit silly but amusing and fun.

Sorry to hear that, happened to my wife in 08, got caught up in the big TI layoff. Took her a bit of time, and a couple of dead end jobs, but she's been with a very good company for almost 2 years now, making very good money, and they love her to death. Keep your head up, and don't give up, you'll find something.

I got some bearings for my "free" TG10 MK1, putting it back together as I write this.

Collected it this morning. Here it is. So guess I need to order a Brat kit now...

*ears perk up*

You have my interest...

[StrokerBoy]

Yes Grastens, I can't stop thinking about a Lancia Rally. I've let a few slip through my grasp^* so I'm going to cheat. A perfect reproduction isn't important, all that matters to me is capturing the same cartoon-ish stance. Any tips on where to find some suitable wheels ?

^* but I'd still buy one if anyone's selling.

Cash one thing i never do is give up . i may not be in the forces now but i still have a soldiers mentality - pick yourself up , dust yourself off and crack on . its a set back but hardly life and death . i'll find something else and hopefully something i'll actually enjoy .

I like your style - so much so that I may have said suitable wheels and some used tires. Send a PM if you wish!
