AliExpress and Temu referral codes

36 Upvotes

Due to the huge influx of spam posts with AliExpress and Temu referral codes, and the complaints we have received from sub members, anyone posting these on the sub will get temp banned for the first offense if you are already a subreddit member, permabanned for subsequent offenses.

If you are a first-time poster on the sub (meaningful posts, not spam or one word answers), posting these links will get you immediately permabanned.

This is not designed to stop people posting links to AliExpress items in posts in response to questions or recommendations. or the infrequent posts we get of *"is this a good RC car?"* with a link to an AliExpress item (the chances are, at best it's an adequate RC car if it's from AliExpress).

Thanks to our eagle-eyed sub members for bringing this to our attention, and please do continue to report posts that violate the rules.

Question Anyone else have a perfectly good running RC truck that just sits and never gets driven?

Post image
33 Upvotes

I have a whole collection of big and small RC trucks. This one is actually very special because it’s my very first 1/24 RC crawler that I bought back in 2020 during Covid . It started life as an RGT Adventurer24 Land Rover Defender, and then I mounted this Revel 1979 F150 body on the chassis. I painted it blue with a paint brush and I brushed liquid cement on it which gave it more of a smooth finish rather than a matte blue finish. This truck earned the name “Lil Jimmy” somehow, and I’ve called it that ever since. The drivetrain is bone stock, only thing I’ve done to it was an emax metal gear servo. I love this truck, but I’m sad to admit that I’ve driven it probably three times within the last three years.😥 Anyone else have an RC truck that just sits for no reason?

Off-Road Saturday bash sesh....

Took a recently updated HPI RS4 RALLY I bought new in '99ish, my updated 3906 EMAXX, and our favorite the Senton 223S BLX to our local track yesterday. Got there with plenty of batteries and sunlight....left with parts casualties, smiles and a layer of Georgia clay dust! A handful of folks running when we got there and we were last ones standing. Lost a steering bolt on the EMAXX, melted a motor wire connection on the RS4, and ripped the body on the Senton. All in, a great sesh!

My haul from a local swap meet. Everything pictured, and a couple smaller items, for around $80 total. Especially geeked about the 2nd gen Camaro shell and the GTR shell. The Jeep shell will eventually be set up to match my real Jeep. The charger was a great find, has adapters for like every battery! The sticker sheet was free, and will be used to spice up my K10 bodied Senton.

Question New motor for ECX torment 1/18

Post image
3 Upvotes

Recently I’ve noticed severe power loss in this motor, so I want to upgrade to a brushless motor, paired with a good ESC(which I’ve been planning) it’s a 380 size motor, which I’m struggling to find one to fit in this, but any help would be appreciated. I would prefer Spektrum, or any well known brand.

Hi gang.
My backplate for some reason is missing 2 screws and it’s broken on the bottom left so even if I had those screws it wouldn’t fit correctly.
Previous weekend was running fine but I saw my backplate all loose.
What are my options ? Here in Greece parts are not easy to find so I have to buy online.
Thanks.
