Recently picked up a Traxxas TRX4.

I thought I would give crawling a go, but wasn’t sure if it might be a bit tame.

It is so addictive!

On the tilt Tuesday. Not bad side hilling considering the weight of the shell. @traxxas #trx4 #trx4g500 #traxxastrx4 #traxxas #crawling #rccrawler #rccrawlers #rccrawling #trx4crawler #letsoffroad #sidehill #sidehilling #seeyalaterbill #creepysickcrawlers #prolinehyrax

If you don’t trust them then insist on collection and paypal gift.

Ebay say it is bad because they lose the revenue.

I don’t feel like this is a surprise while they operate using a membership.

If i’m going shopping I want upfront pricing as and when I chose to frequent the store.

IF you like a F&B colour get the sample pot and ask them to knock up a colour match in valspar.

Defo go for a TSG lid.

I use them for commuting, they are comfy, not too hot in the summer and can get clip on ear pads for the winter.

Plus they don’t leave lines in your hair like a usual pie case

I would look at the Kansi twenty 3
It only has 3 internal gears but its robust, 10kg’ish in weight can get mudguards for £20 panniers etc can be fitted.

They are usually cheaper than the Dahon.

They also do a sick mag wheeled one if you fancy a bit of 80’s BMX style

pop the IC pipes off and see if there is oil in there, often missed when replacing Turbo’s will also allow it to breath easier in the interim.

I put my Dartmoor shine up for sale at £950 firm and had it sold in about 20mins

Endura MTR Shell
Love mine
Commute daily and it is just the job

You need to spray a yellow circle around it mate

I also have a magic loft, which is part of the flying freehold so no space. luckily it’s boarded already.
No house stuff apart from christmas decorations are allowed in the garage, that is firmly mine!
Luckily My Mrs has fully subscribed to Mary Quando and Mrs Hinch and loves clearing stuff out and cleaning at the moment. lucky

I’m well jel of that massive loft, I need a drift track for my RC’s!

These guys are friends of mine and have made an excellent BBQ area.

DMR Defy 50 Stem

I had the 7, i sold it, the took advantage of the trade in offer with Go pro so I could buy the 8.

The 8 is better, it’s not night and day but I am happy.

Not noticed the mount being wobbly.

The battery issue doesn’t seem to be an issue for me I can use my spare 7 battery in the 8 with no ill effects.

I don’t mind the bracket on the bike just trying to make sure its not sticking out when its off the bag, I may not have explained myself well.

IT’s annoying not being able to pop into a store to size them up.

Thanks for the pointers, I will keep hunting for that dream bag

That was amazing!

I’m keen on something like this for our bifolds.

My Son is at the age where he crawls headfirst off the step and if he survives that likes to eat dandelions or stones

Lower tyre pressures

I ordered cocktails for us and her family to be delivered so that we could have a zoom party once the boy was in bed. also ordered in from her fav indian restaurant and we got dressed up.
Presents were obvs ordered to along with flowers and I made a cake.
Depends on what you can fit in around WFH and local suppliers.

So far in lockdown we have had:
My 40th, for which I got some Covid-19 symptoms
My son’s 1st Birthday
My Wifes 34th birthday

Not ideal.

What chassis did you go for?

The Drifter is an AE86 Corolla on an MST RMX chassis.
The Turbo-mac’s totally don’t go with the body but they had the tarmac tyres on them at the time.
Drift cars are dangerously addictive on the detail front.

SkyRC chargers are good.

Flysky transmitters are decent enough for bashing.

If the advert says, “forks could do with a service” that usually means they are a write off or close to.

I would assume that a drive train refresh, Chain, cassette, chainring and cables will be required.
Bleed brakes, change pads, possibly grips

As a non uni attendee I do doubt the economics applied to studying not very profitable jobs.

If he attends for 3 years at £10k per year plus accommodation plus spending money, the likely debt or expenditure is in excess of 50-60k.

If he is already getting gigs what additional uplift will be attained by studying it for 3 years as opposed to networking through gigs and practicing throughout the next 3 years instead?

A long time likely to see the return as far as I see it.

I had a Kansi 3 twenty which is very similar to Dahon etc, more comfortable than a brompton and not a lot bigger when folded.
Not as easy to maneuver as a brompton though when folded.

I wear a pisspot on the commuter bike, a bloke i see riding to the station winds me up as he wears a hard hat with a chin strap, looks gormless and probably is if he thinks its gonna do him any good.

I wear a pisspot or a pie case when riding off road, recently gave my brother my pie case so I need to get another one but mostly I wear my Pro-frame as I try to spend as little time as possible pedaling or with my wheels on the floor.

The O2 is on a penninsular so geographically its tricky to walk away, certainly to a decent area.

The area is being heavily developed so there might be better options nearer the time.

The Holiday inn overlooks the busiest road in south london…

I think the success of this show hinges slightly more on this… https://www.instagram.com/p/B5I_bIEAJuu/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

I have all pie case or pisspot’s in a wall cabinet https://www.instagram.com/p/BJvbMVWhOFE/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

I then have full face helmets hung on some screwfix hooks, they hook the back of the skull bit of the helmet.

Vaults on my Airdrop Edit and Dartmoor Shine.
Plastic v8’s on my commuter bike.

The average in Essex is £100 per panel for a concrete post and slot in panel fence.

Do you update it David?

Stuntman chest mount with all the mounts removed and a tripod mount with a short bolt in it work the best, lowest profile and no clicking from the mount.

Otherwise I also like the side of helmet mount with the ball joint.

Most of the time I have it on a tripod or tree as I fly past it mid air

As Tom says, you can put together a decent Quik vid in minutes.

I have had a chinese copy, a 4 silver, a 7 black and now the 8 black.

The 8 black is superb, so simple to use and tune.

The footage is unreal for a handheld cam.

Here is some footage from last week: https://youtu.be/TkGjTPsr4kk

Select the highest res, if it’s still a bit blocky, give it an hour it’s only just uploaded.
