      If that’s the RRP then I fear what the scalper resale price will be! 😂

  2. After a tough week at work, Im trying a new beer (Cruzcampo), whilst building a new Tamiya. Bliss Friday evening!

  3. 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

      Grumpy old man syndrome but i get it, there was a lad 2 doors down that had a little Citroen with a mega load pop bang pipe on it and he was in an out all hours the family wondered why every one on the street hated him

      karlo888

      Reminds me of my racing days when I had a modified Subaru, wondered why my parents hated me when I visited. Also said they could here me 5 mins before arrival and they will visit me instead  😂😂😂😂

  4. 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!

      plans are afoot to go to Shipley glen on Easter Sunday me and Mrs wolf, taking a couple of 1/10th and couple of 1/18 crawlers so should have  a lot of video to work with

      Ive messaged my local modelshop to chase up my Audi A4 as I noticed they were in stock in some places. Not there yet but hey all is on track. Weathers pants for actual rc use =/

  5. Not an Arrma fan but Typhon Grom coming soon. Looks good

      Not out yet but this guy went and bought one 😂. Not really what you call secretive or leakproof at Arrma are they 😂

       

  6. 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!

      BlackSeaRC

      It arrived in great condition.  That is always my biggest worry with international shipping.

  7. 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. Alex97

      Alex97

      So you've spent £306 this year! 

       

      The maths doesn't lie! 

    2. Kpowell911

      Kpowell911

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

  8. With this weather we need RC Boats not Trucks haha

  9. 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 😂

    1. Lone-wolf

      Lone-wolf

      I honestly dont like Raffall i had one flutter but found it to invasive, asking me lots of questions on line so i just binned it of, but hey, its making some people lots of cash on YT

    2. Lone-wolf

      Lone-wolf

      Tims rc on YT has put up a raffle to win a cross NT6 Unimog but £5 a ticket, its not Raffell so i might risk a tenner, its limited to 180 tickets

  10. No idea what this is or if its real, but the next Traxxas Snap On Product?

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

      Oh yeah...at last something DIFFERENT, really like that 👍

  11. 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

    1. Lone-wolf

      Lone-wolf

      They do and they dont, RWD needs more input from driver and locked diff helps no end, my Blizter beetle is pretty good RWD with locked diff, shame im gonna end up selling it

    2. Yrkoon

      Yrkoon

      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 😛

  12. Im so proud to announce the birth of my Daughter. Born Friday 5th January at 6:36am. My greatest ever contribution to life ❤️

  14. 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?

      Blimey! £1599 is a joke tbh lol, especially considering the stock one is so good out the box!

  15. Pro Tip. Hide your Mrs Christmas presents in an old Tamiya box. Hidden in plain site!

      My fiancé knows exactly where her presents are.

       

      However, since they are in the Man Cave, she lacks the required clearance.

      cool glad you got them as they do look smart :good:

  17. 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

    1. Stormbringer

      Stormbringer

      Now they gone are you having 2nd thoughts about it ?

    2. Kpowell911

      Kpowell911

      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

    3. Lone-wolf

      Lone-wolf

      Seems you really like the Tamiya so as you say a bit smaller, go for a couple of nice ones

  18. Tamico saying end of March for the RC10CC =/

    Amazing IMO, but I built a few of these years ago!

    1. Gaz!

      Gaz!

      The green version looks very nice :insane:

       

      might have to investigate the rear wing mount further, making my stampede 4x4 into a truggy…

      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 🥰

    3. Lone-wolf

      Lone-wolf

      that sounds like a real good plan in all aspects, i better not mention the Blitzer beetle metallic chrome edition is one of the really super rare Tamiya`s 

    4. Kpowell911

      Kpowell911

      Truth be told Im only interested in the On road 90s Tamiya Tourers
