I have quite a bit of it but last time I tried to use it the track had oxidized a lot and it took me forever to clean it up and even then it wasn't that good so it kinda lost it's appeal

I think I just need to give my batteries a couple of charges to give them a boost but other than that I think I good to go

I didn't find it over exciting using them though I prefer the building, fixing and tinkering

Hmm, looking at buying myself a decent LiPo battery now so I could use it with super long run times

Might as well, I have the compatible charger and all the running gear, sick of dealing with shitting NiMH sticks too

I like messing around with them but I deffo need to improve run times, I get annoyed going out to the beach then 10 minutes later the things dead

My own fault for not looking after the current batteries really, when I first got them I was getting 25 minutes out of them

That looks good mate, I was actually thinking about taking mine out today, had a sleep instead though

I get my bits from a few different places, hobbyking.co.uk, fusionhobbies.co.uk, eBay etc.

Where is that mate? I used to use Kit Stop but they were always mega pricey and never very friendly

Here is one of mine on the beach being driven badly by my nephew

Beast mate goes well that does!!

There down new Brighton just past the floral pavilion next to ship pub and open on a Sunday too so dead handy! Left my truck there two weeks ago for them to service it tune it fit high torque servos and new batteries because I couldn't be arsed, two weeks later I popped in on Saturday to see how it's getting on and they hadn't touched it so I took it back bought the bits they had ordered in for me and did it all last night on the coffee table with s few beers and started tuning it today! The fellas wife made a snotty comment about me being impatient! I said hang on it's been here two weeks your "RC guy" only works Saturday's what use is that you promised me the car weeks ago, her husband obviously knows how much of s cunt she is and gave me discount on the parts I was buying so not all bad but the customer service is wank

Haha, maybe Kit Stop just never liked me, was using them from about the age of 10 on wards, long before the internet existed and you could get spares next day I would get the bus to birko and get them to order replacement parts that would take weeks to arrive - no overnight parts from Japan back in the mid nineties

That one in the video is a little bullet with a decent battery in it, had a proper kick and will flip on grass if you reverse then full throttle, will have to get that out with my other off roader beetle.
