willb Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I’m off to Hong Kong in just under 2 weeks and have got it in my head that I want to buy a Tamiya High Lift. I’m not too fussy on which body but most likely the F-350. What are people’s thoughts on these? Are they just a bit over gimmicky? The price in HK is drastically cheaper than here. The price starts with a 2 and not a 4! There is a famous model shop called Waigo Hobby which happens to be fairly near to where I’m staying! Cheers!

Gaz! Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 They aren’t that good to be honest mate, although they look great and are mini marvels of engineering. you might be better going for a Tamiya truck, now that’s a great thing to have and own. i had a tundra a fair while ago, fell over quite a lot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willb Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 I like the idea of a Tamiya truck but where and when do I/you use it?! I bought my Schumacher Big 6 Lotus’ and they are a wonderful thing to own but I’ve never really driven either. Just don’t have anywhere really suitable [emoji853]My backup was a Clod Buster. I think this was my first Tamiya way back when. Always been tempted by another despite them being a bit crappy!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Stick a twin motor esc and metal geared servos and have a blast had and a few of those too, this being the last, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willb Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 Looks great. I have a feeling I’ll end up with a High Lift though. I love the look of them. Just the scale and the engineering that’s gone into them.A found a company called JunFac (new to me anyway) who make some awesome looking parts for them.This looks the nuts! - http://m.junfac.com/product/4-link-suspension-conversion-combo-for-f350-hilux%C2%A0/273/category/31/display/1/#noneSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Yep that’s the way to go with it mate, does make it a much more usable truck the build on on them is excellent, you going for the mfu too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willb Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 I think I’d go all out if I got one. I have 2 other crawlers but this would be that little bit extra special I think.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Go for it then mate, look forward to a build thread too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post willb Posted September 29, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2018 The small haulage from Waigo Hobby yesterday. The price of the Tundra and MFU is similar to just the cost of the Tundra in the UK. Went a little overboard!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
