If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

Got some nice clean Tamiya rigs from my good friend Richard, which will become a couple of Christmas projects.

Almost too clean for me!

A couple bodies from OldRC.com.
Once again, quality is great. I've looked them over carefully and I can't find any flaws. Lexan is nice and thick as well.
Sure wish he'd start making Protech, Protech 2 and Viper bodies. AE certainly won't be making them again. :cry:

Two sets of wheels , the ones i wanted were the PB Mini Mustang wheels in used condition , they came with a set of 4 new Hot Shot rear wheels .

I just cleaned them up in the lath and they are not perfect but very usable in a runner , both sets together were paid for and delivered for under £20 :D

Had to actually go pick this up, rather than get it in the post... great deal from a mate of mine, a complete roller HB D216 modern 2wd race buggy, including extra wheels and wings, and an almost complete second buggy NIB for parts! All for a price so cheap, that I couldn't say no!

Going to be weird to actually run something produced this century..... :lol: :shock:
Lot.jpg
NIB kit was missing four parts lots, two of which were included in the spares, and the other two which I ordered today (for about 1/3 of the cost of the whole lot!).
NIB.jpg
Going to put gear in the roller and run it. Yep, I said it.... I'm going to run something!

Fingers crossed..... :roll:

Well, knowing that it's a HB, probably not!

Visited a hobby shop over the weekend (not a usual occurrence here these days), and managed to snag this from the body shells pile... it's a Parma Peugeot 306 rally car body, designed for 1:10 rallycross (converted buggy) use. Only ever seen one other in a shop over here (and I bought that one too!).... might have to get one painted up.

Got a discount on the sticker price too!!! :mrgreen:

Something completely different for me. This is my first Tamiya kit since the Sand Scorcher roughly 40 years ago.
I was looking at the Vaterra C10 Pickup but ended up with this instead - much cheaper and it's a kit rather than RTR.

I’ve actually had this for a little while now but I’ve been laying low in the RC world until recently. Was digging through boxes looking for stuff so I thought I’d take a couple pictures. I absolutely love the early era nitro stadium trucks. The RC10GT will always be my favorite. But I’d like to have a collection of them all. One day when I slow down a little bit I’ll set up a dedicated space to start playing with toy cars again and put this thing together, Box art style of course for me....

I hope the image size is good. It’s been a while since I’ve posted.

That Outlaw Rampage Pro is going to be sweet! You're lucky to have found one NIB.
Kyosho has re-released the ORP but as an electric 2wd trophy truck this time - different time, different market I guess.
Anyway, I'm gonna try the rally car thing.

Got this in the post today , nothing says "Vintage" like a Meccano bumper :lol:

Its got the 2mm screws for front spring tension , the slender front arms but the later gearbox with the solid cage mount , i'm quite happy to have the later gearbox as this will be a runner and the original tab cage mounts could be more vulnerable . Really not sure whats going to happen to it yet in the way of restore , might be a sand rail of some sort ....don't know

Stoked to have picked up this lot of TRX-1 goodies. Highlights are diff/trans parts, front arms, decal sheet, and the CC chassis set w/shock towers. Unbelievable, really.
