Shodog definitely lives up to his name, it just seems even cooler to see them on this site, a bit different like. :) I think it's because you have to be confident your Tamiya is nice before you dare post it here where as on TC the good stuff can gets lost amongst the dross. I think it would be good to have a RC10talk showroom or is there already one I have missed :?:
Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

Thanks for the kind comments, I've got a few nice Tamiyas but I'm posting no more of them, Badhoopty looks down on them :lol:
Hey mate.. No I'm Classic RC Fan on TC. :) This was the mark on the Bottom.. I'm sure I remember doing it! Anyway, if it was mine, its a well loved car put together properly (most people could never built the TTC right!

Looks lovely whatever its heritage Ferretti.. you generally have a sweet collection :D

Sorry Tom, if you re read the thread it seems like you referred to the Dyna Storm, I was confused. You are correct I bought the Super Astute from DI Joe and have seen it in your TC show room. This RC world is very small, the car remains un run and always will as long as it stays with me. This is how you will remember it. 8)

OW! Where did I put my shades??

That is crazy colour seeing it again. I'll be honest though.. I prefer the box art look look.. Good job mate :D

Off topic: I wish we'd have some decent sunshine in the UK so I can take some pics of my 'fleet' and share them with you guys..

Astute is my favourite! Until now I'm still racing with two in Tamiya Mini 4WD races. :lol:

Thats becuase most had the snot beat out of them. It's kinda the same way with RC10's a good used one can be had for under $100, it's the new condition stuff that comands the high prices.
