HEALTH AND SAFETY CONCERN

Good morning RC fans 😁

As we are now in the summer and everyone is getting their RCs out of the shed or loft from last year, I am very busy with repairs (which is great!) I have had a lot of these situations.

If you have lipo batteries stored then PLEASE check on them, even if they are in storage charge.
If there is any doubt in their stability or reliability then please cut the lead off and leave them in a salt water bucket over night and dispose of safely

It isn't worth the £50 these things cost versus the damage they will cause.
LIPOS ARE DANGEROUS

This is a lipo recently given to me as part of a large repair batch and the customer was totally unaware it was in the box.

This is a ticking bomb.

Please check your lipos today if you have some that have been stashed away.

For reference, this lipo should be flat, it is solid and 3 times the size it should have been.
It was stored in a customer's garage in a box with sharp tools.

If you're in any doubt then I'm happy to help, drop the page a message with pictures of the battery and the cell voltage levels.

Thank you for reading.

HSP Tyrannosaurus nitro RC truck in for a repair.
Customer believed it to be a bearing that was faulty, turns out the whole engine had seized up which is why it wasn't turning over.

After a chemical clean and build back up it was nice and free.
Converted to 2wd as the front differential had broken and you cannot get the 1st gen parts anymore :(

HPI savage gt6 XL flux

An absolute monster of a 6s car, knocks the socks off of the comparable alternative brands in my opinion.

Needed a new spur and pinion plus a differential set up.

Arrma bigrock 6s

This arrma had a whole plethora of issues, including badly fitted upgrades in the past and faulty esc plus rounded off hex bolts which meant the motor mount couldn't be removed.

I have cut and drilled the old motor mount off, fitted after market hop ups and also a beautiful castle creations 6s combo.

With the gearing set up it should be capable of 70mph +++
With the punch set to 4 it also won't back flip to ruin the lovely body!

Outcast 8s in for a new rear differential and service.

Huge 1/5 scale arrma Outcast 8s with the common exploding spider gear issues.

Upgrading these to the Vitavon CNC forged option for the customer, I shall shim and use thicker fluid to prolong the life of the shiny new gears!

Lovely truck that is a joy to use due to the weight and exaggerated driving style.
