Nowhere had it in stock in Green….. I asked on the Traxxas forum, theyre all American and were puzzled as to why I was struggling, as it was on Amazon Prime USA. So I ordered it on the 8th July. This arrived in my letter box at 10:45pm on Monday the 12th….. 3 days after dispatch….. Im speechless. Maybe Amazon taking over the world isnt a bad thing…… I had really speedy service and they pay the tax and if no claim is made they refund you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was from DMS, got a call yesterday to say it had turned up and to take payment then it turned up just before lunch time today. Fingers crossed they got a bunch of the monster trucks in at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarrely it’s a genuine Frog chassis that’s been spray painted red! 😂 The plan is to fix the front suspension and fit it up with a Kamtec lexan Sand Scorcher repro body. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent little kit by all accounts when I've opened it up. Nice case too which was the attractive bit for me (like to try and keep things somewhat tidy!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 53HRA Posted July 16, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2021 A vintage nitro boat. Something I’ve never really taken interest in, but it was local and for £30 I couldn’t say no! The owner said he was 5 years old when his dad built it him, and now he’s coming to 60 so the boat is over 50 years old. Surprisingly the nitro engine is not seized, but the mechanics and electrics are something from another world - never seen them so old The craftsmanship and appearance sold it for me, it looks even better in the flesh with the age related marks and wear! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
