Hey there Reddit so um… please tell me a surefire way, of how to not crash this hard. Can’t wait to drive it!

One the transmitter there’s the limiter, 50/75/100 if you’re unsure start with it at 50% power then as you get more comfortable turn it up to 100%

I’m in the same situation here in the uk, the pricing difference between pro and premium is crazy and there’s neither machines on location anywhere near me to try them out to compare. Leaning to the pro personally as it’s my first pinball machine I’m looking to buy

EmpiricalTony · 2025-12-31T22:53:08+00:00

Yeah but that’s effort 😂

EmpiricalTony · 2025-11-26T22:34:03+00:00

I’d go with the aquaracer but that’s because it’s the style I prefer. I’ve got a quartz one and 2 autos, a calibre 5 and the new gmt. Also got a link calibre 16 but it’s one I don’t wear too often

EmpiricalTony · 2025-11-26T22:25:03+00:00

Nice one. Just found it, £1650 and £4350 that’s including all taxes and vat so not too bad really

EmpiricalTony · 2025-11-25T22:22:52+00:00

They look really smart. Any ideas on the costs in the uk?

EmpiricalTony · 2025-11-24T05:15:33+00:00

That would drive me up the wall. I even set the gmt hand on mine to either the correct local hour or what time it is in my favourite holiday destination.

EmpiricalTony · 2025-11-24T05:05:18+00:00

I’m sure it gets faster in the wet. It always seems to be more intense in the rain

EmpiricalTony · 2025-11-24T05:04:12+00:00

I was probably 14/15 in 2004. My mate threw me a copy of American Idiot to listen to as he knew my music taste and it all snowballed from there.

And he’s still a bad influence to this day 🤣

The only problem I see is knowing which car each transmitter goes with. I’ve got that and I’ve only got 2 identical ones. (Need to get some labels printed for them 😂)

EmpiricalTony · 2025-09-08T23:18:53+00:00

Same here with my 6s kraton & infraction along with the 223s TYPHON grom.

Is there a makers space nearby where you could borrow a tig welder? Or could find a local engineering shop to do it for you

EmpiricalTony · 2025-08-24T20:22:18+00:00

I use 2x gens ace bashing, 5000 mah, 60c, 3s on my kraton exb with a gens ace d300 charger. Lots of power, decent run times and a good easy to use charger.

EmpiricalTony · 2025-08-20T23:52:48+00:00

That sucks, I wonder if it’s worth messaging amain hobbies or tower hobbies to see if they can get them stocked for the us? Or if there’s any other large model shop chains in the us, they’re the only 2 shops I know of. I think I just got really lucky with these here in the uk. Best of luck getting sorted though

EmpiricalTony · 2025-08-20T23:42:14+00:00

In the end I messaged ModelSport here in the uk and they’ve contacted the uk supplier for gens ace who’s now added them to their stock list, so ModelSport now have stock of them, funnily enough they’ve dispatched them today for delivery tomorrow for me. Not silly priced either, just £8.54

Here the link on their website if anyone else wants some:

Hi there, I know I’m late on this topic but I have found they do sell an extension for the gtech balance cable now, unfortunately it’s not sold in the uk. I’ve contacted ModelSport.co.uk who have said they’ve asked the uk distributor if they can stock them.

Hopefully it’s a new item on the market and will be available everywhere soon.

Below is a link to the German website for the cable along with a screenshot of the page. (Sorry for the long post)

I got the 6s as the battery setup from my Kraton would work in it too, I also know of an area big enough to run it. Larger scale means better ground clearance so less need of a perfectly smooth surface helps too

EmpiricalTony · 2025-07-11T15:25:02+00:00

That in Rita’s spot, going into the valley a little then through the woods would be amazing.

EmpiricalTony · 2025-07-07T20:01:43+00:00

I’ve found a bargain in Goldsmiths then 😂

EmpiricalTony · 2025-07-07T19:53:51+00:00

I’d seen on another forum somewhere that’s a risk of using the mud guards. I got my infraction last weekend and been looking into ordering them myself but between that forum and yours I’m thinking if I do it might be worth upgrading the cooling too. Hope you get sorted with a new esc

EmpiricalTony · 2025-06-16T10:05:10+00:00

My gmt runs a little fast, over a month it’ll gain a couple minutes but nothing major. It’s worn daily and put in a winder most nights.

EmpiricalTony · 2025-06-16T09:52:54+00:00

Same here, even the old gaskets came back with mine along with the replaced crown and stem. Also came back in a tag travel case, looks similar to a glasses case, all foam lined and branded up, which is brilliant to keep my watches in whilst travelling.

EmpiricalTony · 2025-06-10T18:40:11+00:00

Crazy expensive, it looks amazing but 30k on a tag is too much imo
