After a tough week at work, Im trying a new beer (Cruzcampo), whilst building a new Tamiya. Bliss Friday evening!
-
You can tell Im getting old. House a few doors up has either bought or maybe rented a Lamborghini. Theyre revving it (it does sound absolutely incredible to be fair!!). But its really annoying me as Im trying to watch the footy haha

Happy Bank Holiday Weekend Guys! Had an extremely busy week for the first time projecting managing a 'huge' (for me) job! Much more money, but honestly not sure its worth it. Glad its over. Time for 4 days off with my Mrs & Daughter, few beers and catch up on some R/C and eBay! Hope you're all well!

So I have an RC on the way from California. I've paid (A ludicrous amount to be honest) through eBay's Global Shipping, so all fee's/customs etc are paid in theory. It left California on the 29th Feb, and it arrived at the ParcelForce Depot 3.6 miles from my house at 10am this morning. Wehn do we think it'll be in my hands? Place your bets!

So Ive bought 3x RCs this year. 3 important ones to me. Ive spent £900, which is alot when I said no more RCs for a while. However, Ive made £594 off RC sales, with 2 more to potentially sell. Not as scary as I expected!

With this weather we need RC Boats not Trucks haha

So over the past 6 months, 3 of my friends have won a raffle for a car on 7DaysPerformance. One won a 911 GT3, one won a Urus and the last one won a G63 but took the cash alternative …… yet I cant even win a Traxxas Stampede on Raffall 😂
-
No idea what this is or if its real, but the next Traxxas Snap On Product?

@BlackSeaRC cant get this model in UK to best of my knowledge

Starting to feel 2WD Rcs are not for me. They just dont ‘bash’. Im talking about my BBX & Astute 2022. I just cant seem to dial them in to be ‘useable’ compared to 4wd. I appreciate I maybe over powered, but I had this issue with my Rustler/Stampede VXL. Maybe sell my Astute 2022 & BBX for a Hot Shot or a Top Force EVO? BBX looks so cool though! Hmm
-
always found 2wd twitchy as hell and constant throttle control needed etc if on looser terrain, i grew up with it and love it but i can see why its not every ones cup of tea, i had the corally triton converted to brushless out in the snow a while back and it was insane just trying to get it to go in a straight line, i had a big grin on my face the whole time though 😛

Im so proud to announce the birth of my Daughter. Born Friday 5th January at 6:36am. My greatest ever contribution to life ❤️
Mother & Baby doing fine. Daddy’s tired

Im so impressed with Tamiya Polycarbonate Body Cleaner, I think its my new favourite Spirit!
-
Just had a Whatsapp off the owner of my local model shop, informing me the new RC I pre ordered a while back is due this week….. I didnt budget for that this side of Xmas 😂😂 Ahh well. Itll help them out and I guess its only money. Any guesses?

Pro Tip. Hide your Mrs Christmas presents in an old Tamiya box. Hidden in plain site!
-
Drifty people. Im after some Gold MST 501 Wheels, but cant find them anywhere, any ideas?

So my Summit and E Revo 2.0 have sold, and are now discontinued. They were both epic models, but I dont use them much so 🤷🏻♂️ Now theyve gone, Im wondering if theyll be a new version, Id be all over that! Dont know wether to invest in a few more Tamiya's as theyre smaller and I can justify shelving them and using them sparringly. I need to get back into my Traxxas' and use my Maxx more, looked at converting it to v2 but itd be $200 with the the body and wheels/tyres to gain an inch haha
-
Not really, I hardly used them =/ The Summit is honestly an incredible RC, Id say its the best RC ever genuinely. Its so capable. But I just have more fun searching for and owning Tamiya’s? The Revo is great but Ive still got the Sledge, which is in theory the newer version of the Revo, the Maxx is great, and I have an XRT/Xmaxx for special occasions so everything is covered. I liked having the Summit when we were out with the TRX4, but usually my girlfriend used to end up driving the TRX4, Id use the Summit for a few minutes and then end up taking photos of the TRX4/driving it together.
Ive sold them, got over £750 back after fee’s so if I do buy anything its covered. If Traxxas drop a new Summit, ill get one I think. And as I say, I need to use my Maxx more, as not only is it great, its had so much money invested into it its pointless selling

How about a titanium screw and body clip set for $285?

So, Ive got a few Tamiya’s on my Watchlist around the same price that I really want but havent clicked buy yet…. Yet I was all over this, despite not liking AE or Racing….. I slept on it and thought na this isnt for me. That said, I saw the pre order go live, so Ive texted and Ive ordered one through my local small modelshop, mainly to help them out a touch
-

Haha I dont have the following for a Rafall.
E Revo 2.0, Summit and a Maxx. To make way for a Porsche 934 45th, Calsonic R34 and maybe a Raybrig NSX. May even sell some of my Tamiya’s for a better/more desirable shelfers. Ill then move the shelving units to my Mum n Dads and the Tamiya shelfers can stay there, and Ill have a few bashers to be kept here for use, and I can turn the RC room into a lovely little nursiry for my little girl 🥰

Back to reality and work 😩
