Sorry to hear your caps key is broken.

Looks good - though this isn't the 'for sale' section, and this is pretty much an advert.

[stampede vxlboy]

[stampede vxlboy]

Looks good - though this isn't the 'for sale' section, and this is pretty much an advert. 2 mins and it will be

[jameswilkinson7]

I thought you had already sold it?

[raine]

cut your nails plz :x

[stox217]

Are the advent calander's for sale too? :woot::cool:

[Col]

Sold to his uncle, who had it for approx 2 seconds and sold it to his son, who has had it for approx 2-3 weeks and now it's forsale again. If it was a real car, you'd have to ask why so many owners in 2 months...

Also, I assume there is a gear cover for the spur somewhere?

EDIT: It's up at £140. How much is the kit new? (serious question...)

[coolcars782]

why have you got 3 the same screws in the font bumper and 1 counter-sunk, they should be all counter-sunk??

[jhammond]

£140? Wow.

[Garry Driffill]

I think its good that you have taken 'Partially' onboard what people have said to you at least mate. Good on you for that.

Just a few rough edges but youre going in the right direction, Don't sell the car.

[jono83]

Nice tyres :)

[stampede vxlboy]

col you allway make a big bloody issue out of everything i never sold it to my bro i have had it from new the shock cost me £45 plus all the extras so plz get a grip of yourself col

Steep :o its like a 95 more then new and has a few extras, more like very steep :P

[stampede vxlboy]

I must say that £140 does sound a little steep! you want it james make a offer

[jameswilkinson7]

£25....

[coolcars782]

£25....

Thats more like it :thumbsup: lmao

[stampede vxlboy]

add the price of the shocks £45to the kit that £90 with just the shock you berk

[jameswilkinson7]

Sorry mate at the end of the day its a used £50 car!... No getting away from that!

[Northy]

Genious

[stampede vxlboy]

have you been on the beer again kits 45 plus shock 45 that 90pound plus the rest of the parts is over the price you think:p

[MRD]

There's this thing called depreciation, it tends to happen once youve bought something, altered it in ways it was never ment to be altered then ragged it about untill you don't want it anymore.

[CR_Casper]

Yes, but it's used and therfore the value of each and every thing will drop dramatically. Sure the components could sell for a bit more if you broke it up, but at that price, people may as well go for a used b4 or something.

[stampede vxlboy]

i have been doing it up its like a playground on here its not been used for 4months and never tested the new parts out lmao

[jameswilkinson7]

There's this thing called depreciation, it tends to happen once youve bought something, altered it in ways it was never ment to be altered then ragged it about untill you don't want it anymore.


Yeah... Thats about spot on! I mean come on... even you know that £140 is way too much!

[coolcars782]

Yeah... Thats about spot on! I mean come on... even you know that £140 is way too much!

its cheaper to buy a better b4 on here for around 40 less, :p,

[stampede vxlboy]

got a b4 its better than a b4 everybody got a crap b4

[Kifogrande]

b4 crap? wow.

[coolcars782]

got a b4 its better than a b4 everybody got a crap b4

Who thinks a madrat is better then a b4?

[MRD]

There's an old saying that involves poor workmen and tools.

[Kifogrande]

Is that bottle of piss included?

[stampede vxlboy]

i use my trucks for ragging about not my buggys its been sat here since i last when racing at the club clubs dont close for the winter james you know :p

[Garry Driffill]

Stop biting at everything.

What i meant by the 'Rough' edges was things like the wiring which could cause you alot of problems with electrical interfearence if youre going to be racing. The last thing you need to be having is poor wiring like that, Not a dig at you. Just been honest. Plus the screws in the front of the car, The 3 that SHOULD be countersunk, Youre gear cover needs to be on there too just incase you catch fingers of anyone that might touch the car should it need flipping over on the street or on the track.

[sparrow.2]

Is that bottle of piss included?

This thread DELIVERS! :woot:

Bottle of piss, caveman fingernails and to top it all off the ridiculous price on the car!!!

Bwaaaaahhhaaaahhhaaaaa This is all too much, I think I'm going to wee myself :lol::lol::lol:

[MRD]

I think I'm going to wee myself :lol::lol::lol:

Quick, get it in a bottle then bang it on ebay with a kinder egg car for £140

[stampede vxlboy]

no the stuff in the bottol is what i clean the car with mate

[MRD]

You clean your car with "Musk 'O' Stampy"?

Stampy will proberly value you that piss for you at about £399.95? note: could be a little over priced

[Kifogrande]

If i had a madrat, I'd probably clean it with piss too.

[coolcars782]

If i had a madrat, I'd probably clean it with piss too.

Another good quote, you can never polish a turd ;)

[jameswilkinson7]

i use my trucks for ragging about not my buggys its been sat here since i last when racing at the club clubs dont close for the winter james you know :p

If you dont want the club to close over winter, get 10 people interested in racing there over the cold wet winter... I'm not going down there every other Sunday just to watch you and your madrat! If we had some astroturf down it wouldn't be so bad. But untill then I see no other choice.... Go to batley instead.

[MRD]

But James, its 9 bus's and a boat trip to get to Batley..........

[stampede vxlboy]

i have not used it since i last when racing i have been doing it up and never used it to bash about got 7 cars 4 of them are truck for bashing as you all know people dont bash buggy about. its just find a good club that not part time once every 2 weeks and closed all winter

[jameswilkinson7]

But James, its 9 bus's and a boat trip to get to Batley..........

He needs another mad rat then... One for each foot.... 5.5t brushless!

[MRD]

What pinion for a size 10 shoe?

[coolcars782]

He needs another mad rat then... One for each foot.... 5.5t brushless!

Then he will have to buy the right spur gear :woot:

[mikeyscott]

got a b4 its better than a b4 everybody got a crap b4

So why did the B4 win the European Championships this year?

Have a look at the Team Assoicated website and you'll see how successfull Team Associated have been.

My Cat SX is mint and I've spent a small fortune on it, yet to sell it on I'll be getting £220 for it (new they are £300+ mine new is worth £400+ with the extras) . Oh and before anyone asks, no it's not for sale...

Because it's used it depreciates. Same as the £12k sat on my driveway that is now worth £3k 4 years on :(

If you want to get a unreasonable price for it put it on eBay. People here know there cars too well for people to sell things over priced.

That's what puts me off spending £15k on a R32

Sorry mate the car is worth a lot less. You will get more from spliting the car up, i.e rolling chassis, electrics etc.

The shocks should be on your B4 not this thing.

If you intend on racing next year, sell everything except the B4 and electrics for it. Ditch the silly 5.5 and get an 8.5 and go racing.

[stampede vxlboy]

its was a waste of time opening the club then they dont build there self and they need money putting into it

Well... I put well over £200 of my own money into it... Where's yours if you want to race there?

[johnboy]

stampy you are a prat right fair.

[Col]

you do know the macnum is the same basic components as a madrat don't you? and you hated that car and sold it.

my bro got it

didnt your son like it ?

yes my bro sold it back to my son its is car i wanted 1 to bash about and do some tracks when i got the time and when the wether ok but will be waiting long time for better weather . so that why i wanted a truck for the winter as the rest of my cars are up forsale b4 and 5 traxxas brushless 1 buggy and 4 trucks on ebay . thanks i am going to buy a kit today the truck ansmann macnum

Took me over an hour to traul through all the crap that you post simon, but this is what you said about your madrat few weeks ago - you sold it to your brother (sorry, not your uncle...) who sold it to your son. So you were talking shit either then, or you're talking shit now.

[mikeyscott]

Guys put people straight, but please less of the abuse.

I know a number of people here never listen and yes I've had enough too..

If you are skint then sell it all, get yourself sorted and then think about getting back into the hobby.

Said my bit and I'm off to do more important things..

Building a track and getting things up and running take time as well as money. Running a club is hard work.

I'd love to do more for my track, but the job doesn't always allow that.

If it had been OCUK he wouldn't have stood a chance on the forums...

Stampy, as 4WD is more predictable surely it's even more boring (your words not mine) than 2WD??? With all the money spent getting your Madrat how you want it, isn't it better just to keep and enjoy it?

[stampede vxlboy]

i got to sell 2 cars to make the money up to get my new car

[jim76]

there is the other issue about yours cars Stampy. £140 is a lot when you factor in depreciation as previously mentioned. But when you factor in that the car was owned and built by YOU, then it's value falls so much that you will probably have to pay someone to take it off you!
After all the silly repetitive questions you ask, and stupid things like bolting on bling alloy shock towers (there is a reason no company makes these! they don;t work!) no body will touch your car as they will expect it to be completely badgered.

As i have said before, the kit diff and slipper are fine, the shock towers are fine, the new t plate is fine. The only thing it needs are shocks. So £50 car, plus £40 shocks makes £90. second hand, in good condition you may get £60, and that's if you have a reasonable amount of spares. I suggest you take all the alloy crap off it and list them on ebay so that some bling addicted saddo will buy them, as no serious racer on this forum will be interested.

obviously i expect you to completely ignore my advice and post repeated for sale adds for the next 3 weeks until you change your mind, sell the 4wd and proclaim undying love for the madrat again!

[Tom3012]

Stampy im not trying to be harsh but i totally agree with what all the sane people here have said... The B4 shocks you have on your car are not the latest darker ones either.. so take £10 off your shock valuation... £35..

Ok you went and bought an RB5 slipper, ill give you £5 for that, a used madrat with a stainless t-piece... £30? If you've got spares...

Quick total... 35+5+30.. £70? And God knows your postage should be free...

Stick it on ebay, starting bid £70 and see what happens...

Oh one more thing.. i recently bought a XXX-CR from belgium second hand... I paid £70 posted for it... The car looks unused.... So your valuation for that Madrat.. is well...optimistic

[Smartalec]

Do you not want the cleaning piss aswell Alec?! :woot:

[mikeyscott]

I've got a XXCR that I race that I paid £35 for. What would you rather? At the end of the day, these cars aren't worth 50% once they have been used.

As for the list of cars. Sell ALL of them and then start to look at the 4WD options. Also fully decide are you going to race or not. If I wasn't planning on racing I wouldn't be running a Cat SX

[sparrow.2]

This thread was better than TV yesterday. :D

Seriously though you are not going to have any luck at all selling your cars here me thinks.
For starters the price you want is ridiculous. The car itself isn't half bad but it has been built and run by you, which is not really an indicator of quality.
Second, all the tat that you have attached to it doesn't really make it any better. Granted, the shocks are necessary and the T-plate is a nice touch but all the rest is just pointless.

I'd be surprised if you find anyone willing to pay even the price of the new kit for it. I think 45 pounds is just about realistic and even then I wouldn't touch it with yours mate.

Try and find a forum you haven't posted on yet and try and sell it there or as an even wilder idea just drive the poofing thing yourself.
You are so going to hate 4wd and I dread to think of what you will do to the poor kit that makes it's unfortunate way into your home.

[uglykidjoe]

Wow, I have to admit, this is the funniest forum thread out there :P I was just reading this at work and had to join the site just to let you guys know how much fun I've had reading this. LOL 140 pounds for a Madrat??? I sold my used Team Associated T4 roller (truck version of the B4, but ya'll know that already) on EBAY with tons of spares for about $75.00 CAD. Thats like 40.00 pounds and I still think I got away with a decent price for a well used chassis.
　
Now to say that the B4 is cr@p??? That's just plain old ignorant.
　
Cheers from Canada,
Joe

[stampede vxlboy]

i just think there better cars out there than the b4 to race with everybody as a b4 that races

[uglykidjoe]

Yes, I believe there are a few, like the Losi, but you have to take into account most racers need a chassis with a lot of parts support available. And team associated rocks for world wide parts support. Sure I could go with some exotic chassis, but once I break a part, I'm pretty much screwed until I get the parts off ebay.

I'd rather support my LHS and get the parts the same day. :)

[jim76]

i just think there better cars out there than the b4 to race with everybody as a b4 that races


think about it Stampy, there is a REASON everyone runs a B4. That's because they are a consistantly good car on all tracks with great parts support as stated.
Other cars are as competitive, like the RB5, but parts support and team driver/set up support just isn't there in the same way as the B4

I was about to say the same thing.. Take a look at the A Finals at the major competitions and there are always a high number of B4s..

Would you rather run something that doesn't make the top of the list or a "too common" car?

I wish I still had my B4 FT as I should have kept it (Sold it for £70). I'll buy another one when I run out of XX spares.

i just dont like them at all there strong cars but all my traxxas car never break there solid car for bashing and the slash is good on a track and the bandit

[jim76]

that's because the B4 is designed for racing, not bashing! Trucks will obviously take more of a pounding than a B4 because the big tyres absorb a lot of the impact and they are designed for beginners to crash around in the park! The B4 is designed for people with half an ounce of skill, to drive around a track and not launch off stupid ramps in a garden.

It's like saying an F1 car should be as durable as a range rover!!!


Honestly, if you intend to go to a track then buy a racing buggy. If you only want to bash then stick with trucks as they will deliver what you want. You wouldn;t buy a track day sports car and then complain it was crap at your local banger racing track would you?! For god's sake think before you buy things

LOL, The Traxxas bandit is a pretty old ride. Is there still any parts support for that chassis? Traxxas has been re-hashing that thing for years. Not to say I've got anything against traxxas but their only competative chassis is the REVO. I'd still rather race a Team Associated SC10 vs a Traxxas Slash.

[jim76]

hpi cyber 10bany good or not. jimmy or a zx5 there 1 on here

the cyber is an ok car, but HPI spares are very expensive at present. plus as stated in your other thread it will need some additional parts to make it competitive if you want to race it. You would be better off looking at a second hand B44, better spec and cheaper more accessible parts.

The ZX5 was a good car in it's day, but has been passed by the newer versions like the FS now. A second hand FS again would be better than a cyber. But parts aren;t as common for the Kyosho cars, and not many people run them at clubs.
the beuty of running a popular car is when you go to a club and break something, someone there will likely have a spare you can borrow for the day. And if you are a crap driver who breaks a lot then this is VERY IMPORTANT!!!

[stampede vxlboy]

thanks jimmy what are my car worth i have for sale stampede vxl with combo or roller and madrat and the b4 there loads of stuff with it

[jim76]

i have no idea on the traxxas, no idea what they cost new.

the madrat, with t plate and b4 shocks, you may get £50-60 depending on spares etc. This is about 50% of the cost new, car £50, shocks £40, t plate £10. Forget all the other parts you bought, they were a waste of time as people tried to tell you. Alloy bling is pointless, don;t buy any more.

The B4, you can usually pick up half decent ones with spares and a few wheels for under £100. Not sure what you have with yours.

But as stated before, i don;t think anyone on here will buy them from you simply because you have owned them, and they would expect you to have ruined them with your lack of knowledge. You will be far better listing them on ebay.

If you get £150 for the madrat and B4 together then you will be doing ok.

As for your electrics, same thing really. No one on here will be interested, firstly because they are sensorless which is pants for racing, and secondly because you owned them. Again stick them on ebay. No idea that they are worth, but EZ runs are dirt cheap on ebay so i wouldn;t expect more than £30 for a combo?

[uglykidjoe]

Definatley go with the zx5 over the HPI. Also a great 4WD Chassis is the B44 if you have the saddle packs. (I'm running my old BJ4 because it still uses stick packs and I'm a cheap bastard who doesn't want to invest in saddle packs :P )

[stampede vxlboy]

i cannot afford saddel pack £90 plus for 1. plus all my 6 lipo battery are all stick packs

[uglykidjoe]

Couple simple things to ask yourself before buying a 4WD buggy:
1) Am I bashing or racing?
2) Does my LHS carry parts for it (you will break parts either way)
3) What batteries am I using?

ETC....

[ben]

It's like saying an F1 car should be as durable as a range rover!!!

I can safely say id feel alot safer hitting a concrete wall in an F1 car at 170mph than a rangey at 170 lol!!!

[stampede vxlboy]

i got my trucks for bashing its for racing and i use lipo batterys

[bigred5765]

are they race legal then and on the brca list??

[uglykidjoe]

Man on a side note, I'd love to try offroad RC racing in the UK. The tracks look awsome with the astro turf sections. So different than what I'm used to here in Canada and the U.S.

[ConceptRacing]

Never thought a simple thread for one person could drag on for so long, makes fun reading I must admit, like someone said better than watching telly any day!!!

Stampy! the new soap opera, BBC are thinking of ways make this possible but not sure to have it as a kids or adult programme, thoughts on a postcard please!

By the way it is possible to polish a turd!!

[jameswilkinson7]

By the way it is possible to polish a turd!!

Yeah I saw that on mythbusters!:woot:

[stampede vxlboy]

you sell the car and the parts

[bigred5765]

you sell the car and the parts


ooooow nice come back stamp:thumbsup:concept you just been pawned lmao

[uglykidjoe]

LOL you can buy a NEW madrat kit on ebay for 44.99 Pounds. Minus the electronics, but still thats pretty dirt cheap. I paid more for my Tamiya Gator back in the day off ebay.

[stampede vxlboy]

and he price are more than any other shops well expensive for his parts and his kits
his kit are £49.99

[coolcars782]

Yeah I saw that on mythbusters!:woot:

Really, i never saw that on Mythbusters :cry:

[bigred5765]

they were actually polishing dirt, and yes it did work,

[ConceptRacing]

Get your facts right Stampy, my prices are at normal retail prices that the distributors recommend to sell them at, the fact that you keep dragging this old goat up is that you didnt read my post properly, I listed a Mad Rat plus bearing set for £59.99 the proper price for that should be £64.99, I dont see why I should sell the car any cheaper than 49.99 as its cheap enough at that price and the bearing set should be £14.99 so work that one out yourself, in my book that is a £5 cheaper that retail.

And what has that anything to do with this thread I dont know, your the one trying to sell your car not me, my sales are pretty good where as you dont seem to be doing that well trying to sell a car at well over the odds. nuff said Cheers!!

[coolcars782]

How? :confused:

[DCM]

**NEWSFLASH** although unintentional Stampy gives out some good information.........been thinking of getting a Mad Rat for awhile now, and might very well contact Modelsport tomorrow. Cheers for your tip off, though I can't find a bearing kit for £6.85? :) Will check first their kits come with the newer T-piece, is there anything else I need to ask? And does it come with a pinion?

Not sure why you promoted a Mad Rat for sale at £45, since I thought you were trying to sell your own one. :eh?: But hey, ta very much :thumbsup:

With all this information you've researched could you tell me why your buggy is £140???????

[ryan 2008]

Mike has left the building and unsubscribed!
Had enough and it's also taking a step too far.

Stampy, ask yourself what you want out of the hobby. Bashing or racing, the two are very different and can result if very different amounts of money been spent.

My Losi XXCR and Cat SX stuff is getting on for about £1000 and I wouldn't be spending that if I wasn't racing.

[rc_dan]

cant believe iv read through 9 pages of pure shit !

classic :woot:

come on stampy get it right, checked on modelsport,

http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=ShowSpecification&ItemID=33758

that to me adds upto £58.58,

I also sell calculators!!

my prices are fair and are at the recommened retail prices, ask most of my customers and they are very happy with the service I provide in my area considering I have been trading for 4 years now they seem to come back everytime, must be doing something right.

despite all this banter I feel this should all come to an end as it devalues the hard work that has gone into this site and doesnt make it look very good for any new person coming onto this site, most guys on here try help everyone and that includes yourself, ok some of your information isnt alway correct but I cant knock your enthusiasm for this hobby, you have taken a lot of abuse from quite a few people and some of it is justified and some just doesnt warrant it, despite some of the feelings towards you from others you still keep coming back to offer your support by just being on here, top credits to you, all we ask is that before you decide to post you make sure that the information you post is correct to the best of your knowledge.

Some sense at last. This thread leaves a bit of nasty taste in the mouth - there's a pack instinct happening, with the pack turning on the 'weakest' (no offence stampy). He's just trying to sell his car, but the responses have gone beyond banter and this guy is clearly being bullied, and I assure you I don't use that word lightly. He's explicitly asked for it to stop as well.

I've been trying to think what he's done that makes people respond the way they have?

put the ad in this forum as well as the for sale forum
over-valued the car
has made duplicate posts in the past
buys and sells quite a few cars
asks for lots of advice on oople, and doesn't always take it when given


And what would the corresponding reasonable responses, by reasonable grownups?

a shrug of shoulders maybe? Remove/move it if you're a mod
don't buy it
ignore his posts/respond anyway/inform a mod etc
good for him, it's his money
same as 3. At least he's caused lots answers to question which may help other rc'ers


At least they sound reasonable to me.

I agree with concept racing - well done stampy for keeping at it despite being picked on. I don't know if I could keep coming back if I'd been through the same.

Cheers,
Barry

[Col]

Chill out Barry. Aside from the blatent bull spoken by the Stampmeister in this thread, he has given at least as good as he's got. He has attacked people who in the past have come to his defence as well as those who have not. If you don't like it, don't read a thread created by him.

another bloody do-gooder

[jim76]

Barry, you missed out the part where Stampy also tries to give advice to others when he clearly doesn't have the knowledge. This has far more serious potential in that it could cost a newbie a couple of hundred quid in new electrics etc, which may seem them give up the hobby.

A lot of people have invested a lot of time in guiding this guy, only to have 99% of it thrown back in their faces, so i think some of them quite rightly feel a little disgruntled.

A little disgruntled is fair enough jim, and I know you've give loads of help to this fella and probably feel that way. But my point was there's a distinct air in this thread of people actually taking pleasure in destroying the thread, slagging him off and taking the p**s. This is fine if he's a willing party - i.e. banter - but he's clearly not happy.

I used to work for a company which had a serious bullying problem, which caused terrible consequences for some people. We ended being trained in how to spot when things were going too far. That's what I spotted and that's why I posted.

Just my 2p worth.

Cheers,
Barry

Please count to 10 before posting in future.
