sorry, just dont get it tbh. feel i am a bit grown up for all that lol, no offence intended. just wish i could run my car on that amount of fuel!

 

lol you sound like you ready for the scap heap

 

i think you mean scrap heap my good friend at least my mind is still sound, thank god

 

lol fingers go faster than my brain which isn't difficult.

 

You guys need to grow up and get out a bit more. Playing with toy cars ffs!

 

Don't forget the females, I just bought these:

Yes, but you look quite shapely in that pic

 

lol that ain't me Some bird from Hong Kong or America I think.

Only ordered them today so should be here next week, whoop whoop

 

Still got my Tamiya TL01 & the Yokomo MR4TC + all the batteries, tools, oils, springs, tyres, tranys, crystals, ESCs, car battery, chargers and bodyshells.

Used to race 1/10 stock motor (reedey) Touring cars at the West London Racing Centre in Hillingdon - much fun, and those finals always used to make me nervous.

Always wanted a Traxxas T Max though.

 

Is it for sale, ?

 

here's my two 1/8th babies

 

Wow very nice !

 

very nice, the only thing imo to do is change the reg

 

Better watch out that PSL doesn't notice the gold wheels!

I used to have a HPI Savage and it was a blast. Used to have great fun chasing peoples dogs around the local rugby pitch. Was bloody noisy tho and easy to roll at speed so those offroad buggies make better sense.

 

I had the MR4 BC buggy - that went well considering how cheap it was. And the MR4 SD - the one with the white carbon fibre - never really got on with it and was very fragile so went to XRay.

We raced 19T Super Stocks on Schumacher Carpet Dragons.

 

Indeed.......

The White one has Black wheels now so there's only one pair to worry about, mind they have locks on em & a tracker on board

 

I'd seriously recommend the Hyper 7. You can get 2nd hand on Ebay for about £100 or brand new for about £250.

Loads of spares available really cheap from Ebay, so when you break something you can pretty much get it back up and running quickly and cheaply.

Loads of bang for your bucks!

 

I've never had one of the petrol type RC cars but have 5-6 battery ones ranging from 1/10 to 1/18 upstairs. More on show now than used but still get them out for a drunken race with mates up a down a local 10 foot now and again

Brings the power to weight ratio thing out when the little buggers with smaller motors beat their big brothers

 

nice mate ive had a few and love them always seem to get them as the weather gets bads for aa play lol, had a Jato2.5 jato 3.3 Revo tmax HPI 3evo drift, Then had the daddy a 1/6 33cc FG Marder last in january now that was a piece of kit lol. prob get another one just got fed up spendin more time fixing it than usin it lol my revo and jato were awsome fun at the local skate park

 

If I had money to waste I'd love a few "shelf queens"

Tamiya Avante
Tamiya Egress
Tamiya WIld One
Yokomo Dogfighter 93
Kyosho Optima Mid

I remember seeing an Avante new in a shop and they couldn't sell it for £180, now unbuilt in box they fetch well over £1000!

 

Big boys(and girls) toys are top fun
Here's one of mine sat on a driveway for scale

also got a multiplex funcub, 2 450 size helicopters,a 250 size heli,a few coax helis(used to learn on), a thunder tiger eb4 s2 1/8 scale rallycross buggy with on road and off road tyres and finally a pair of what used to be tamiya manta rays fitted with every upgrade I could find at the time that I am thinking of converting to brushless motors.
Oh yea also got about 150-200 scalextric cars which I'm due to sell on as my track in the loft is no more.
cheers richie

 

Did you mean you bought the coax heli in the first pic or the nitro in pic 3?
If its the latter and youve not flown a 6 channel heli before I'd seriously consider investing in a flight sim such as phoenix first and getting some insurance
cheers richie

 

Looks nice, did you build it from scratch?

Les

 

Hiya, I bough one of each was just showing the red colour with the other model for a mate. I bought blue. The blue copter is a electrical one. You know when those first small metal framed helicoptors came out, well its just a bigger version! Its only 3 channel.

The Apache is 4 channel again electrical.

Both apparently easy to fly for a beginner. Just abit of fun really. Will probably be up for sale in a months time but you gotta try these things.!

 

Sorry Les its shop bought and made of foam-has working retracts and flaps and is a lot more durable and easy to fix than the traditional balsa type.
It weighs just over a kilo and has an electric motor close to 1 hp
Fancy one of these next but Its going to be a few months yet due to the cost(note to self get a full time job not just ad hoc agency work) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FMS-WWII-Spitf...item4152d58a61
cheers richie

 

Will take a little practise then but nice and stable and easy to fly-have fun then go full house 6 channel
4 channel is a lot closer to real heli control than 3 btw
Be warned it can be an expensive hobby but Hong Kong suppliers do take the pain off it somewhat. Loads of nice toys and parts here http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_index.asp
cheers richie

 

Mine did get used when I first got them but I didn't wanna get rid so they are shelf queens I guess now

 

That looks good too, but I see what you mean about the price. Let us know when you have got it and how it flies.
