      Its a great venue,  but it’ll obviously all be new Tamiya Stuff, and the only new Tamiya Im waiting for Ive got on order at my local small modelshop as I think its important to support them

  2. 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!

      Its a 'cheap' Tamiya. I won it for $150, cheapest I can see over here is £399 brand new in box, although I was offered it cheaper. Unfortunately, eBay did the postage & tax so it cost me £230 all in but not too bad. Ill get pictures shortly.

       

      @Strugglecuddle7 The Raminator does nothing for me Im afraid. Its too big to work.

      @Stormbringer I admire your confidence

       

      @Redback I find your lack of confidence worrying

       

      @wolfie1 I think youre the most realistic.

      Hmmm. Just came to post this. Im more interested than I was before. Great video to be fair. $699 is cheaper than I thought will see how that translates in the UK though

  11. Saw this on the 'Tamiya Legends' Facebook page. Thought it deserved a mention here.

      Would much rather put the grand or so towards a 30th Anniversary Tamiya Porsche these days to be honest

      Its not big enough for me to justify I dont think. I want XRT/Xmaxx sized not UDR

      I dont think itll be over a grand, as its only a 6S 1/7 Scale. My issue is, would I use this over my XRT?

  16. Are there any big US RC shops who will ship to the UK anymore? 

  17. 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!

    1. Kpowell911

      Kpowell911

      Which is absolutely astounding considering I was doing double that a month last year haha

  18. Some tasty releases from tamiya. That 4wd rally Mchassis is definitely on my radar.

      Isnt 20% of that 30% VAT? I believe Germany wont pay the price youre seeing on Tamico

      I think its very expensive in the UK (what isn’t?) but it does look stunning. Not necessarily a Nuremberg release, but  Ive caved in and ordered the Audi A4 DTM from my local shop. Having the owner on Whatsapp is dangerous!

       

      I was hoping the NSX had the Raybrig Livery but nevermind….

  20. All Quiet on the Eastern front! we are not getting so much traffic on the forum lately so to all members keep posting up about your RC hobby, also recommend MSUK to your RC friends, we all have the means to perk things up on here

      Its the weather, and like Ive always said, the option to ‘like’ or ‘react’ to posts has killed forums. Forums are for DISCUSSION. theres nothing worse than logging on, seeing 10  notifications and theyre just ‘likes’. It kills discussion

      MSM  on Youtube has got one. I genuinely think MSM is a great youtuber, but very Traxxas orientated
