Congrats fetching one of those. Don't recall if I heard of Tenth Technology before. Just googled them and wow, that's an awesome buggy. Would be super to have one, but the average price range... :shock:

Tamiya? But the chassis isn't an injection molded ABS tub.

Literally my first thought when I saw it! :D

It caused me to go on a little 956 kick, so I have a pair of Kyoshos coming also.

Wow, if it was 1985 and you bought a Kyosho Super Alta 956 ......................... you really should have bought a Tamiya MK.5 956. It was like Kyosho was trying to make a buggy / on-road hybrid.

I just got my first 2 channle radio of the 21st century!! yay. It's a Flysky FS-GT2E 2A 2.4ghz 2CH Radio system. I am amazed at how small the receiver is and that it only uses 4 AA batteries compared to the 8 AA's in my old radios. Going to try to put it in my HPI RS4 along with my first brushless motor/ esc combo. Can't wait! Hopefully that will be my next post. Will be cool if it makes a good drift car too, maybe with practice.

I was looking for another SS4300 motor/ESC combo. This one came bundled with some extra parts though. Not really looking to branch into Losi so I'll have to figure out how to do the opposite of buying.

<edit: After looking it over, what's included is actually the SS5800 motor. This should be fun to try out. >

Picked up a very well kept original 1986 Kyosho Turbo Optima. Came with original manual and Trinity monster horsepower motor.

I acquired a Futaba tuned XXL AM receiver, but it came with some extra parts I don't really need. This is getting to be a bad habit.

This Tamiya TL01 is more how I would have expected that Tamiya 956 RM MK5 to look under the body, rather than looking like a cousin to a 12i.

Speaking of bad habits. I coincidentally ran into (meaning I was searching as usual) another Futaba FXT for sale in really good condition, clean, the body looks perfect. Comes with a Novak Rooster, Speedworks Monster Mash motor and the base Futaba servo, magnum jr tx and rx. Listing said everything works perfectly. The truck was already listed at a surprisingly great price, so I offered a pretty low-ball offer (borderline offensive) because I honestly didn't have much interest in having another one. Fully expecting a rejection, a counter-offer or the seller flipping me the "bird", they accepted. I damn near wanted to message the seller asking them, "are you serious?" :lol:

I actually saw that FXT (my Rooster alert pulled it up). The asking price was decent and I was thinking, there's no way you get another FXT.... 🤣

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