Still got my original 27mhz techniplus acoms mk3 and mk4. A couple of futaba attacks also of 27mhz also.
They all still work spot on. No downloads, no firmware updates they just work lol.

Some great cars on here, I have three tamiya cars, A lifted rally spec impreza, Rising Fighter and a Nissan Titan I bought at the beginning of lockdown I fancy a proper Trophy Truck next.

Does the Flysky Noble work with the other Flysky receivers?

I have 22 cars on one of my hacked GT3Cs, would cost a fortune if I needed to change all my receivers.

Sorry bud I have no idea, this is my first FlySky radio.

I would assume it won’t be compatible with older FlySky receivers, unless they are running the newer communications protocol.

This is AFHDS3 I believe.

Here’s The Info on the FlySky website.

I also have a lot of models, but as most of the receivers seem to start around £10 each, up to £20 each, I thought it would not be too bad.

Looking at this compatibility matrix, I suspect you will have revived that are FHDS2A protocol receivers, and sadly looks like they don’t work with the FlySky noble transmitter.

Thanks for the replies.

Yes my receivers are FHDS2A, will have to stick with my GT3C for now.

On a more modest note, the TT-02 chassis is hopped up and finished, Porsche ‘73 body painted, just the Fuchs (no sniggering at the back) alloys to do...

What hop ups did you install?

I think the last Acoms servos I had were AS-16s? Not too long ago, perfectly serviceable hobby grade. I loved the Technidrive which came with my Boomerang bundle in the late 80s, felt really futuristic! Must dig that out.

Still going strong in my resto-mod Monster Beetle

Is that the sticker from the upgraded diff pack I see?

A worrying amount which has basically brought it up to club race level, including stiff chassis, ball differential, universal joint driveshafts, aluminium propshaft, adjustable suspension, aluminium steering linkage, aluminium motor mount and heat sink, and the glorious TRF dampers. There's probably more but my wallet has told me to stop thinking about it.

There's a nice guide here:

My Kyosho Spada 09 is 99% finished now, just front tyres and I will be looking for a way to start it easily!

I know I posted the pic of mine earlier in the thred, but I couldn't help posting it again. Snap! Which beach was yours taken at?

tracer.smart said:

And a classic:

Yes, they are great fun Ray. I find the stock steering setup is very very poor, but enough to get you sliding on the sand. After the plastic wing mirrors kept on snapping off I bought metal ones, and then bought metal wheels too, but the rest is all as Tamiya intended. The beach pictured is near Calais. I don’t know how you find yours, but it helps to have a vast patch of sand to drive these things on as it’s like steering a boat.

Ah, mine steers pretty well, because you need one of these in your car my friend, like mine has:



It's a ball differential unit, replaces the standard fixed diff setup. Transforms the car. Available here for 44 quid.

Very nice indeed! Mine is stock currently, but might make a few aesthetic mods and new bearings

Here is my new toy...





It is the brand new HG-P417 "Middle East 4x4 Pickup" and for those thinking it all looks rather similar to the legendary Tamiya Toyota Hilux High Lift but with a different colour scheme, you'd be almost right!

To see all the details in close-up, you will be welcome at my YT channel, "BlackSeaRC".

Been working on this today, just needs some more sponsors to finish it off when I get time
Shame the camera doesn’t pick up the fluorescent orange very well.

Oh my, I want one. Just watched the Matteo video. Presumably it needs a specialist controller to handle the diff locks and gearbox?

[Stussy]

It comes with a pistol style TX that allows you to lock the diffs off a single switch with options none, rear, front and rear. You can change from low to high gear too, and it has cruise control.
I swapped for a 2 stick which allows the diffs to operate independently, gear is on the throttle stick similar to a Tamiya 3 speed. It lost the cruise, but I’d never use that anyway.
As for the shell, it turned out better than I hoped!

Does it run on NiMh (i.e. share batteries with Tamiya models)? Looks like different connectors, and packages seem to contain LiPo. Already have a big charger and several NiMh batteries (not that it's a huge consideration).

Some fella is looking for £900 for his tamiya monster beetle. Naturally battery, charger, receiver and transmitter are not includes at such a low price.

Yes they can run on NiMh, you just turn off the low voltage detection.
You could get a Traxxas to Tamiya adaptor, or swap the connector on the ESC if you preferred, but obviously that would probably void the warranty.
Most people seem swap to Hobbywing 1080 any way if the factory one dies
