Clearing out
Partly because we are having a general tidy up in preparation for the new baby and partly because I want to raise some funds for a Blade 450, I’ve decided the HPI Savage has to go.
I’ve tried starting it a few times recently and got it running, but as soon as I throttled up it stalled. I’d pretty much given up with it when I had a brainwave: send it to Peter down at 308 Holloway Road and see if he could make it work. Turns out after a bit of heads scratching he found a speck of dirt in the carb. No it’s running sweet, already to go up on eBay tomorrow.
One last video of me testing it after I got it back this morning.
Easystar gone
So after nearly a year of sitting around unused, its gone on ebay. So long Easystar, I had fun flying you. More info here.
moviecollector77
If you ever see this user on the Amazon marketplace don’t order from them. I bought something from them, they never shipped it and never responded to any communications.
Ended up having to go elsewhere and cancel the order. I should have noticed in the feedback that nobody had purchased anything for 3 months. This SHOULD (!) have been a big warning to me, let it be to you!
Avoid moviecollector77 at all costs, its less effort to go somewhere else right from the start.
Tamiya Sand Scorcher
I’ve finally got round to uploading some pics I took while building the Scorcher, body is not painted yet. I’ll hopefully find the time to do that before long!
More details over on the Sand Scorcher page here.
