Material for job site

Just came across this posting on marketplace, it’s free. Would this be good for a long term rc construction site? And how would i have to maintain it? Let me know if you have any suggestions or ideas on how i could make this work. I only have a 14th scale huina 1593 excavator so far, so it would have to be for 14-18 scale ish, not a miniature 1:50 scale site. I’m gonna end up buying a dumper and loader if i can make this work. I added some photos of my backyard just to show how much space i’m workin with. I wouldn’t be able to use all of my backyards space , and i would need the construction site to be something i can move in and out the backyard (could store it in the garage maybe for some of the winter) because my mom wouldn’t be too happy with a pile of dirt left in the backyard. Thanks for any suggestions!

What school? (Power Engineering Technology)

I’m trying to figure out which school in Canada (preferably Ontario) may be the best to get started in the industry. I’ve seen some are 1 year programs as more of an introduction sort of thing and others are 2 years. What do you guys recommend? I’ve been looking at around 5-6 schools:

Cambrian, Georgian, Lambton, Durham, Mohawk and Conestoga.

Just wondering if any of you have had any experience with the power engineering tech programs these schools offer. I’m also open to schools outside of Ontario, i’ve heard NAIT in Alberta is amazing for power engineering, but i’d rather not go outside of Ontario, unless it’s super worth it.

(FMS FCX18) I lost a part, where do i buy a new set?

I lost one of the tiny plastic bits that goes behind the wheels. I still have the other 3 but i lost one. I tried driving without it on the one wheel and it seemed fine, not sure if driving without it behind the wheel is damaging anything, but i’d still like to know where i can get one of these tiny pieces. Photos attached. Thanks.

Dissapointed in this truck.

Received my replacement LC80 because my original one had gear issues. Looks like this one has it aswell just not to the same extent.. I don’t know whether it’s FairRC or FMS themselves who can’t give me a quality build, with gears that don’t click.. but this is really frustrating. Had to wait over a month to get my new one just for it to arrive with gear noise aswell.

New replacement FCX18 LC80 has arrived! First mods?

So about a month ago i received an FCX18 LC80 that had issues from the factory (it was grinding gears or something) so i contacted support to get me a replacement truck, they’ve been really good about it and sent me a replacement truck and today it has arrived! I really hope this one doesn’t come with issues aswell.

What do you guys recommend i do to it first? I know i want some nice silver/chrome rims, with some fat tires, just not sure which/where to get them from. Any suggestions?? If you do send any links keep in mind i’m from Canada so send .ca links if possible.

Edit: It’s making a slight tick noise when i throttle, either going forward and in reverse.. not sure if it’s FairRC or FMS but idk what’s up with this shitty build quality. This is a replacement for a truck that literally came with defects.. Not impressed

Hex drivers for fcx18 (where to buy in canada?)

So i’m hearing you can’t use the alan key that comes with the car or else you’ll strip bolts, so im looking for a hex driver set. i’m hearing MIP is good but its super pricy ($30 Canadian for 1 size/driver) I’m new to the hobby so i don’t know what sizes i’ll need and what is most common on the FMS FCX18 models so if anyone has any recommendations please send them my way. I’ve also heard Wiha is good and cheaper (i’m seeing a set of 5 drivers for around $60 CAD). I’m from Canada so if you send any links please make sure they are available to ship to Canada. (Amazon.ca not amazon.com) Thanks everyone!

PS: I’m also slowly getting into the RC drift hobby aswell (24th scale) and i may get into 1/10 scale drifting and 1/10 scale crawling/trailing aswell so preferably a set of drivers that can translate from 1/18 to 1/24 to 1/10 scale for drift and scale trail trucks (if possible) i have no idea if they use the same size bolts and whatnot.

HPI Stage D24 (Help)

I want to know where to grab a d24 from in Canada. I’m looking at Amain right now but it’s saying 55$ for the cheapest shipping. Anyone from Canada have experience with Amain? Or is there somewhere else to get the D24? Thanks.

Rear end way too low.

Why is the rear so low? I want it to match my front suspension. I’m using the same springs for front and rear.

LDRC Suspension/rubbing

I can’t raise the rear suspension on my LDRC drift car, the front is high enough but the rear is just too low so it rubs on the fenders and it’s caused a line in the rear wheels, more predominantly on one side. I’ve tried the shorter shocks and the longer ones. Nothing works. It seems the way the chassis is built that the front shocks go almost straight down, whereas the rear shocks kinda poke out wider and cambered out (idk if that’s the word), causing the rear to sit lower than the front. How do i fix this?

Is this legit? (Returning faulty FCX18 LC80)

I got a FCX18 LC80 from FairRC, when it came it already had a bad noise (some sort of broken gear or diff), i emailed support and we’ve being going back and forth for like a week, i’m trying to find out if this is legit or a scam, they seem legit and all and they were nice about everything but the address and recipient seem really sketchy. They want to provide a replacement truck and they want me to send the truck back to “James” and the address is in British Columbia (they claim that’s their Canadian warehouse, because i’m from Canada) Check the screenshots below:
