Re: Tamiya Buggy Champ - 2009 Reissue Rough Rider

It's the most used tool out of any I own, would buy another today if mine got lost or b...

Re: Tamiya Fighting Buggy - 2014 Reissue Super Champ

This is the car that started me down the rc car path at age 13. I definitely remember the commercial and still chuckle at the "water proof" rubber balloons. I learned a expensive lesson early and haven't driven a car in the water since. I have a NIB rere Fighting Buggy sitting in the queue...

Oooo, very nice display! But now I have a question. Is that PCM radio used with one of these three?
The PCM actually lives with a vintage RC10 CE. It's just a cool display piece.

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

A little off topic but a few pieces to the new crawler build showed up today. I couldn't resist the SCX10 Pro being on sale :D I'm thinking of going FPV on this one...

The build is looking great! The tire lettering really takes it up a notch ๐Ÿ‘Œ You have inspired me to move the Buggy Champ in front of the Fighting Buggy build!

Thanks for the inspiration ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

This is more like: What's not showing up in the post" today. The Pro4 SC10 turned out to be a scam. Fortunately ebay refunded my purchase price and the seller has left the chat! Screenshot_20250505_145823_Chrome.jpg Screenshot_20250505_145757_Chrome.jpg I guess I will get back to rebuilding the...

Re: Factory Works Ten4.1

The build looks great! I'm hopeful the MIP Ten 4.? kit is released soon. I've got a new chassis and a bunch of parts set aside to start my build.

Cheers!
