Latest but not a new Idea, Nikko had an awesome sound board in the 90s

Thanks

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???

I got the original rere from them and it was totally wrapped in air bags, box was twice that size, weird that Amain couldn't fulfil my order, they never got enough, but in UK they are discounted now as they have too many £229 down to £199

Re: Bringing a Danny Thompson Nitro Panda back to life.

Sometimes what you find on ebay for 99p is amazing.

$20 shipped for a new basher shell for 1/8 sounded a good way to keep my good ones clean, didn't realise all 6 would appear for that http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l89/purpletimbo/6shellstruckfront_zpsc85937f2.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l89/purpletimbo/6shellstruckback_zps290c459f.jpg ...

Re: Vintage Traxxas RUNNERS only
