Well as in the tittle, im starting a tamiya collection again, had a ride the eve to the local model shop, could not resist this now im starting collecting again, it will be a runner but only for special occasions, pretty good start i rekon, always wanted one as a kid, even had the poster on my wall this is not a build thread as such but progress will be shown, every time i buy a new tamiya, i will add it here, may take a while as i like them to be perfect.

All finished now... Maybe a set of retro rims needed

Ok so I'd probably draw the line at this one....

When I first started working on sites many years ago I saw the hod carriers stood around most of the day, then they all used to knock off at 3, and still earn very good money. That's for me I thought so said to my Dad who I worked with that I wanted to try it so he got one of the brickies to load me up a hod, matey said " carry that up the ladder and you have a job". Needless to say it ended with tears of laughter from everyone watching and me staggering around at the bottom of the ladder with the hod barely a inch off the floor!

then you need a exhaust and a tx

I think of myself as more of a "Howling mad" Murdoch! On which note, I bodged a connection on to a new 2s pack to fit in to the Losi. Those wheels have never spun so fast!!!!!!!!!!!

Being a Tamiya fan we've now become best friends look forward to this thread

I fit killswitch to protect my investment, before i had a killswitch I had two run aways one hit a tree and the other hit a fence both times cost me a fortune in repairs. So im for the killswitch.

Cheers buddy no i dont muck about lol, let the fun begin Im really exited to have a tamiya collection again, i love the box art, i love building them, the nostalgia souronding tamiya and the many memories certain models hold for me.

9xr lipo and a blue screen for the flysky tx and a hobbyking 80a/3520kv combo

But the pros have a different box ??? But I'll give you they are pro instructions and it's also a pro shell maybe it is a pro

You do realise I just turned 17 right? Insurance on that would empty my account every month...

The eBay seller is super_cheap_city good seller and not fakes

It's funny you think this as both me and my mate said the same about his truck ! .

Looks great

Looking really good

The location on his profile is Nuneaton so im assuming its from there

Always found their live chat helpful. Glad it worked out for you. Al.

I've got to have a marauder shell!! That looks awesome, guess my next rc is a scx10 then

Finally got some time to finish the cage off. Im really halpy with how its turned out.

Just been checking this out on xrays site. Must say this does look rather sexy, added to 'the list'...

Yup 4.2 is max charge try not too store it at that level mind 3.8 for lipo,. it'll last longer , though I have not been meticulous with mine and she's fine

As above there live chat is really helpful

I'm glad to see they made the Furious Angel much more stronger. I was concerned for it's durability.

Hobbyking are sound mate, nothing to worry about.

I fit killswithes to my large scale not somuch for the safety of other people or myself because the field I use very rarely has anybody else on it at the same time as me. The reason why I use a killswitch is because the field is surronded by other fields which during the summer have standing crops of wheat etc and the sight of a Maverick MT disapearing into a bone dry crop of corn is quite scary. So I will fit killswithes to my large scale as a must at all times.

go on live chat and get your order number and they will help you

Got my Y connectors this morning, now got lights on both trucks.

Brilliant find Andy - That garage series looks awesome

Try this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737/en-gb

Chrome here too. Never liked IE much. Then once trying chrome Ive kept with it

Ordered yet another ESC. hopefully this one will be all good

Ordered something new and a little bit exciting!

I gave up with IE....Chrome seems to work for me.

If your guesstimate of 20-25m range is right...then I would think something is wrong. I have radio sets from the 1980s with more range than that. Failsafe as already mentioned is important to be set and personally I check it everytime before starting the engine- turn Tx on, then Rx and when you turn Tx off the failsafe should operate. A simple way to check range is to turn Tx and Rx on...then walk away from the vehicle whilst operating the steering....when the steering stops working that is your range...(if you get far enough away that you can no longer see if the wheels are turning then you either have good range or need an eye check ). Many things can cause the range to be lower than it should/could be, I will list some things... (and note I only know FM/AM sets but most things will apply to all). Low battery levels at either end. Damaged (or not fully extended) aerials at either end. Built up areas (trees/buildings/car/etc.). Corroded or "dodgy" battery connections or on/off switch. Interference and vibration (this cover a whole host of WTH things that can happen). Finally faulty Tx or Rx.

if you would excuse me

Who cares?! I'd shelf that immediately

Hurrah, a branded hoodie, with some random (married) bird in it, just what the kids want. Next!

Pic of the front would be helpful/needed/wanted...

Who can remember this lol, another one for the nostalgic fans. Always wanted one, will be built one day, want to find some bits and get the fiberlyte pavidis carbon parts.

Hi thanks to mydoddy69 if got a new brain for car and I can say it works a treat much smoother than the stock ESC at low speeds and I think it's a little faster in the top end to all round great bit of kit me thinks

Cheers List updated and prices dropped

Only one way round this keep calling an ask him to go to random addresses to quote jobs cost him in time & fuel. Maybe he had his Xmas party last night & still plastered lol, chin up it's nearly Xmas
