My Feedback: (3)

Looks very nice but I would not buy anything like this till I see in move and run. You have a videos of of one of these running? Not sure if it was you or who but saw one on You Tube but it did now seem to go very fast. How much run time do you get?

I was waiting for Valentino to stand on top with no hands!?!

I agree with 46u.Who is going to buy such an expensive rc that isn't even tested?

It's like hpi saying "buy the baja 5b,but we dont know if/how it runs,we never run it"

I understand what you're saying about the effort you've put in. Many years ago there was a fellow truck racer called Michael Lee channing who built probably one of the first FG Jet powered trucks and it was a great bit of kit to look at but it could only be used in a straight line and while it was quick, it seemed to take an eternity to get there.

You should understand that people are sceptical about buying something that hasn't been run - model builders, bashers and racers are a world apart considering they all play with similar toys.

Oi take it easy tiger, I wasn't slagging you or your truck off in the slightest. I was trying to explain that although it's agreat build people often need to see things running before they get excited (model builders, racers, bashers all from different planets but play with the same toys....) - it's like putting a post of what you're going to build but not giving any info. People like action shots and video wether you're selling something or not.

I wouldn't worry about what the little *****es have to say...it seems these days unless people have something negative to say they wont say anything at all...... I see this crappy attitude daily from people.......... IMO your work is stellar....I would without question purchase that truck you built if it was within my price range.....You get major props from me bro ! just curious, but how much would a rig like that sell for ?

Giorgos_cupra

Jezza,calm down...Nobody is criticizing you or the truck.We are just saying the obvious...That if someone is going to give such an amount of money on an rc car,the least that he want is a tested,proven and 100% working car.

You say the word test not just run,right?Testing SHOULD be done by the manufacturer period!Say i buy it for example.And i test it and something is not ok...What?I'm going to blow MORE money on this thing?Put a headache on my head EVEN THOUGH i paid all that money???

C'mon Jezza,that's common sense!Dont take it the wrong way

marketing prop, a display item for a model shop or a promotion piece for a race team
For both of these,a running model is mandatory!Everybody will ask how it runs?What would the answer be?
They dont intend to run it?Get a static model and be done with it way cheaper!

We do appreciate your build,but it's just that,a build...Unless we see it run it's as good as an expensive static kit and nothing more.That's my 2 cents

I wouldn't worry about what the little ****es have to say

You keep trashing this forum over and over again!!!!!

This is the worst forum/model website I have ever visited – never again

I didn’t post this on here just as an advertising thread – it was more to share by recent build with fellow “enthusiasts” - I should have known better

This is probably the last time I post anything on this forum as there seems to be so much negativity with people only too quick to criticize

And now you expect love??????C'mon man!Get serious!

Oh,and yes,it's frightening indeed[X(]

Giorgos_cupra

First,search my name...I have built a mercedes 1/5 car with a zenoah g270 rc from scratch...I didn't buy a model like you and modified it!Oh,and when i finished it,it actually run!!!Yes!!With a video of it RUNNING

Second,I know you are not a company....It is just the cost of your rc that is so high for someone to buy,that's why i refered to companies.

Anyway,as i said before,i just didn't like the fact that the model didn't run.Nothing more nothing else.I don't have anything against you nor the model.


I stopped building because i'm flying helis now and i need the money

Jezza15

ps: Can you get your moderator friends to delete this thread?

Giorgos_cupra

Yeah,it would have been easier to just buy an fg like YOU DID and stick a turbine on it!Nice

JCAustralia

Looks like you two guys are becoming friends

Common its a great hobby and we should all be enjoying it[&:]

Things are pretty tough in the world now and its one of the few things left that should put a smile on us......

Georges what's the situation in Greece at the moment? Is it as bad as what the news are saying?

Cheers

i don't want to be mean but you must be around the age that is on your name here,your comments are very immature,i'm sure at this stage nobody cares
about your build, GET A LIFE, PEOPLE are just saying they would like to see the machine,a few pics or maybe another proper video of it running.

it is obviously a nice machine but with an attitude like the one you have do use a favour and s#it off

i personally inderstand your comments about 'not been criticised about a video' but cmon can you at least run it on part trust??
you don't have to run it flat out to show people that it actually can run.

it is a nice build but i think you are crazy to spend so much on an FG truck,those platforms arnt the strongest the best of times running a zenoah 26cc sometimes
can be enough for them

Jezza I like what you did mate.
Not even sure what your price is...didn't look it up, as it isn't really my cup of tea. Having said that I still do appreciate the planning, patience and skills and time taken to source the right materials, and create something out of the square.



Can I just copy and paste something that's located DIRECTLY above the "reply" window I type in right now....

BTW I am in no way a mod here, just seen my fair share of hot air over the years. (and tired of it)

Keep it platonic fellas, whilst it may be a little expensive, you don't HAVE to buy it. Just have a look, and I'm sure at one stage you've all thought "man that's pretty cool" at least once.

Jezza you'll find a buyer, it just takes time for the right one to find this truck. Good luck mate!!

My Feedback: (1)

I have been away from the forum for some time and the hobby as well and been doing some catching up and came across this thread. First and foremost, Im fascinated by anything that has a turbine since Im one of the biggest fans of "Shockwave" the truck with the turbines (youtube it if you dont know what Im talking about), so Im loving this video whether the truck moves or not. Now, Jezza, this forum hasnt changed much since I started posting some years ago and I doubt it'll ever change but one thing I know about this forum is that sometimes you have to make people eat their words. When I started posting, I talked about my 100MPH nitro cars and such and everyone said I was either using KPH or the radar was wrong or any other excuse. One way to shut them up was to show them. Then I started talking about my 90+MPH large scale and the negativity came out again, so once again, I had to show them. Ended up making some 98mph passes at the ISC event 2 years ago and have made some 100+ passes while testing after. I guess what Im trying to say is negativity, criticism and trash talking will alway exist on this site and many others. Not everyone will like, agree with or spend the money to build what you build, so be happy with what you have, and show us that thing haulin a&&.

ive got 2 jet cars and i will be starting a new one soon these cars or trucks are hard to drive because of the delay of 4 seconds in the engine i think he sold the truck thats why maybe he did not make a video well mate i love your build i like all of the builds around because neither one are the same and you see diffrent ideas of each individual .ive been critisized and so on but i dont care i still will share and build more projects and as mudgy told me
AS LONG AS IT MOVE S IM HAPPY i always keep that sentence in my mind
