my mugen in flight
« on: March 18, 2011, 10:46:26 pm »


This was my first love to the world of RC and then i went to racing boats, This then was destroyed by a few small minded people who only thought about themselves
Shame but there you go
Now i have gone back to having fun with my car and enjoy every min, Kids and adults having great fun (THE MAIN THING IN ANY HOBBY OR SPORT) :-))

The pic is of my car in flight at a club meeting

Yes nice vehicle the Mugen, I know what you mean I have had experiences like that when I just wanted to have a great time and play within the rules of whatever, but unfortunately there were some people who were Im afraid just to serious about everything so much I couldnt breathe as this wasnt right and no you cant do that or no I dont like that etc. So Im out here and all alone and | can play with my ships, cars, planes, tanks whatever and no overbearing no alls to stop my enjoyment of the R/C Hobbies I love.

Thanks for your reply Chris
The Mugen is prob the strongest made car out there, i think this is shown by how much it costs

nice to see you are doing your own thing and not letting the power freaks destroy it  <*<

We should have a name and shame post, But the guys that like destroying things also don't like the truth and would threaten suing us.

Yeah Digger great reply nah as you say they would deny the fact that once they were new at the game and now after a few years sometimes not even that they are experts. I had a bloke now I have flown electric Helicopters for quite a while I think 4 years at least and he bought one from me that I had lying around not using much, well "xxxxx" me dead in a week he was the perverbiale expert and giving me advice on how to fly.
I just smiled and walked away he was not to be seen again, last I heard from a mate he had done what I had told him not to do and all it was, was dont fly near trees and on a too windy day and yes his helicopter hit a tree, god bless him haha
Im sitting here just doing up a large R/C Lorry you call them we call them Semis its plastic but looks good with all the chrome and red paintwork, goes great pulls a decent model load. lights up like a christmas tree  and is Red to make it 10 times faster than the normal semi, havent used it for a while but will take it out tomorrow weather permitting.
Just you views, Ialso like model boats now this is what I dont understand, I bought one of those cheap chinese destroyers called the Smasher with no Rudder and using that Vector Drive, Now this is what I dont understand, it looks the part, flies in the water, goes forward and b ackwards, twin engines, good R/C range and yet people say on the Forums its rubbish.
It hasnt got a rudder and it couldnt be a real boat, I painted all the unnecessary chrome bits the chinese like to put on them took of some of the fittings that a Destroyer doesnt have and it really looks great,
Why should i Pay for some Kit thats going to cost me a fortune and take me weeks to build when I just plug in the charger put the b attery into the boat and down to my local watering hole. Ah well each to his own
ok cheers

No It's not a Tamiya Model I know that.
It's 1000mm long and the Prime Mover can be detached from the Trailer. I am changing the load on the trailer as where I live in Queensland we have a big Cedar Timber industry and you see these large Semi's with Logs on the trailer so that's what I am modelling.
I have found a picture of it so here it is. Forward,Reverse,Front and Rear Headlights and Tailights and working Spotlights etc. Goes well but I did have to raise the Prime Mover non drive wheels as they were touching the ground when they should'nt causing slipping under load, but all fixed up now.

It looks very similar to the King Hauler and at first glance it could be confused with such

I havent heard of the King Hauler so when you get yours finished perhaps you might be kind enough to post some of Her on the forum for all to have a look at? I have 2 of these , the one in the Photograph Red and a Metallic Silver one. I havent used the Silver one yet I took it out of its box tonight, and the Red I have used 3 times but they really look good on the road and around here we have a lot of Red dirt roads so throws up a bit of a red dust looks like the real thing and being of a reasonable size you can see it well.

Thanks very much for that and I had a really good look. Yes mine Im afraid would be a cheaper chinese version and no way near 652.00
haha. I mean that there Tamiya is quality isnt it haha. I think I paid about 60.00 Australian for my Truck. I can see where the Tamiya looks so like my copy I guess. No mine is all Plastic with working lights etc no Metal or 3 Speed and I got one of those plastic R/c gear sets supplied.
As long as it keeps going though still looks the part, but no definately not a King Hauler.

Cheers

They are not that expensive if you know where to look nearer 200-250€

There are loads of posing parts for them, maybe some will fit yours :)

Hello guys just a wee project I started not finished yet but using Spares from some of my Chinese Super Haulers I thought I would create as Im into Tanks as you know, a Tank Transporter.
I have not finished yet but have had to use 2 trailers to make 1, its a big tank haha and also still have to blacken a few chrome bits being Army transport and finish off rewiring the Headlights, Blinkers etc.
It's a pretty big model I must say. Anyhow here it is.
