Probably one of the largest boats I've fixed in a long time, so big that it had to stay in my living room!

A custom made boat that a client bought to me and wanted the electrics fixing.

New transmitter and receiver fitted
Servos wired up
Servo arms made to suit rudder
Servo boom custom made for optimum reach

Ready to set sail ⛵

A little 1/10 ftx carnage
Car was suffering from excessive differential output wear causing the driveshafts to lock up and fall out.
Replaced (after a bit of a wait on parts!) and also 1x new bearing.

Rear pins were worn but not as warranting replacement in my opinion, so save those for another day.

1 happy car and 1 happy customer

A fantastic little Tamiya Lunchbox kit all constructed for a customer

As with all tamiya kits I've left this unstickered as that's the customers choice for what stickers they have! 😊

Fab fun with a brushed 540 motor and 2.4ghz controller system all fitted and ready to rock.
Just as tamiya intended in 1987!
Not much has changed (if anything) on these kits and they still use the same castings!

**Quick Update**

Currently moved from the old digs to a larger premises, in the stages of settling in and I have a bit of a car backlog!

Hopefully I should have them done in 2 weeks roughly and then be able to accept new customer jobs.

This new site is exciting as it should allow me to stock more parts and get everyone RC'ing quicker!

Thank you for your patience

A quick repair to a DeeRc suspension and shock.
Spot the difference!

These cars are a real hoot for younger children and are very cost effective, The parts are a bit expensive in comparison, The customer wanted a quick fix and got it.

A small fee to make 1 good shock out of 2 bad ones for a very small fee, saving the customer money on new ones.

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 :(
