or get a big holdall from a cheap sports shop and make up some sturdy boards to line it.

do not and i repeat do not leave ANY rc gear on show on the back seat (unless your with it) obvious stuff really but just a reminder (think twice)!!!


PS: Got Mason's car back from Heath's today (dont tell him and i'll have a play with him - just to make sure its safe!!!) of course...

its a real beastie, his one and i'm sure he'll look after it.

about to give AndyC a demo of the copter tonight so watch this space for law suits etc....

Great 'copter Dazza, I'm sure the 6 inch gash on my arm will heal up over time

I was also amazed how skillfully you took out your chandelier in one fell swoop.


Only kidding, I'm not jealous at all

Did anybody ever have one of these, it's a old (20 years or more ago) Tamiya R/C buggy, got one when i left school and it was great fun, modded mine with a hot 540 motor, new bodyshell, progressive speed controller etc, not as fast as the nitro cars but could still do about 30mph, wish i had kept it now
