Well then, it's about the time to get into the first trial run briefly on the road to grasp how long/far it will go on with a single
battery 5000mAh 3s lipo.
To conclude, it ran as far as 5.6km(3.5miles) with a 775motor and an overall weight of 4.6kg which is good beyond my expectation for this 1/8 scale long distance cruiser .
This means another one battery will fulfill 10km trail run(if it's mild run)sufficiently...!!!!
This could be called "the jeep" literally????, "the king of land"???.!! ...like me who is still a long distance runner??
The jeep went more than around our boating lake in the pic No1 below.  Distance around the lake is 4.7km.

Thanks.

No, I had the etching done by PPD Ltd in Scotland. I've used them many times and the quality, service and turnaround is always excellent. I usually gang up the items for several builds to make the postage costs economic.

Knowing my track record with paint, glue and flux, I couldn't be trusted with ferric chloride, the etching acid. It's quite corrosive. Also, you need a film negative to do etching and suppliers of those are getting rarer and rarer.

Hi


Please could somebody help me with the correct colours for the RAF fireboat?


I believe they are;


White
Grey
Black
Red


But which shade, there are many.


Say for grey is it light grey, grey, dark grey or does it have a specific name?


Many thanks.

Mountfleet Models Osprey armed trawler - I enjoyed building the Highlander so thought I'd try another of their offerings.  Arrived promptly but the carriers managed to torpedo it with what looks like a forklift leaving 2 holes in the hull  .  Sent photos to Adam at Mountfleet so just waiting for the replacement hull to arrive, hopefully in one piece.Bag

Looks really great. Did you photoetch the brass wipers yourself?

there are two other relatively expensive (but not outrageously expensive) "truck" radios that might work...  the "FlySky Paladin PL18 ev"  and the "FrSky Tandem XE"  both can be bought with "3D sticks" which add additional proportional rotary features to the main sticks, as well as a large number of additional knobs and switches...  the Paladin is an 18+ channel radio, and the Tandem is a 24+ channel radio.
