hachette nitro monster truck model

[dynamite25]

Mines still in bits till next weekend when i get some shock oil for the shocks and also i am doing a build progress on here when i start it and i am putting it on my website,and questions are meant to be asked or we will never get anywhere.The engine will cost somewhere round £69 for the engine i think from a model shop,but some are cheaper than others.

Hello Me Again!!!!!!

Hi,

Just a quick on i have got to buy a new transmitter kit as my one i used to have has just died and the one they gave away in the mag looked a little naff and the servos looked a little week!!!! Im looking at one on ebay heres the link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1 can anyone let me no if its ok..........

thanks

looks ok glen,

maybe a bit overkill as the lcd and subtrims etc can be a bit more than required ,then overcomplicates things. especially setting up abs throttle atv etc .

if possible i would look for one of the cheaper futaba sets ( wheel or stick)

i know acoms stick sets are available for about £30 brand new on ebay.

you`ll probably find standard servos `satisfactory` for most use. but i would advise a hi-torque steering servo to allow more power for turning thise big wheels

one thing i would ask if you decide to go ahead make sure teh unit is on 40mhz, as it does not say in the advert. the item is coming from japan and could be oin 72mhz band, which strictly is not a band for rc models and hence illegal .

[dynamite25]

Looks an ok trans but i prefer the stick controls and like adzam said you need to no what band it's on before you buy it,but you can get that one from modelsport uk for £69.99 and they have cheaper ones.

[Guest]

That is a quality set (Futaba have always been one of the top names) and should do you well but as the others say, do have a look around as you can get them much cheaper. I recently picked up a Brand New 27Mhz Acoms set on e-bay for a total of £32 and that included the postage.

Acoms are fine as they were the big name in R/C sets for Cars when Tamiya ruled the roost in cars back in the early / Mid 80's
