  1. Is this the same as the Dumbo Im guessing? https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/1360639?clear_cache=1
  2. Depends, if you build a lot of kits, I think it pays to sacrifice buying another RC and investing in some proper tools. I dread to think whatmy RC tool kit cost, probably the same as a Tamiya Avante, but I wouldnt be without it!
  3. God Im old, I had an original Schumacher Mission!
  4. The above does look incredible for the money!
  5. Just buy a Hobbywing 1060 ESC around £20, and run lipo with stock motor. Brushless is just going to break stuff and cost you more in the long run
  6. I use a Noble NB4, receivers are quite pricey mind
  7. I use these but theres cheaper alternatives https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/arrowmax-multi-shock-clamp-v3-black--389668
  8. I think thats going to be a bit too much for a humble Lunchbox..…
  9. I cannot deny their following so they must be fine, BUT I just wish they had a different brand name……
  10. That Ford RS200 looks nice, any more imformation?
  11. Dont crash! I had this, I landed a jump, the velcro snapped and the lipo went flying haha
  12. May get the shell and wheels/tyres for my older one, doesn’t look much difference, unlike the new Stampede 4x4?
  13. Theyre all based on the Slash 4x4 so more than likely. Just get on Jennys haha! I genuinely really like these, and in alternate universe, Id be buying this Stampede 4x4, The Rustler 4x4 and the Maxx Slash, but old Tamiyas have got under my skin lol
  14. What is the budget? What charger do you have currently? Do you want to go Lipo? What ESC is in the lunchbox?
  15. Its the original (although not an early one as it has the better Traxxas EVX2 esc) 3906 EMaxx
  16. Gold Pan RC10 ReRe 👀👀

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

  17. Dont know why, but I GENUINELY enjoyed building a TT01E. I know its basic, but it felt a lot better than a TT02? Anyway, also a brilliant brilliant bodyshell IMO. I know this is a dirty ReRe, but this looks straight out of the Tamiya Catalogue I used to buy from Beatties as a lad! Now onto the Porsche GT1…
  18. Took some Traxxas’ out for the first time this year. The Defender is insanely capable! With his Big Brother
  19. Finished the TT01E for the Audi A4. Nothing special. Im thinking of running my Top Force Evo as 4WD is just better than 2WD IMO. Just going to use these electrics I have on hand.
  20. Its Friday. Had a tough week at work so cracked open the A4 TT01E and a beer. Bizarrely, Im enjoying the TT-01E build a lot more than the usual TT02? I just wish Id picked up a bearing kit and some oil shocks before I started but to be fair its only a shelfer.
  21. After a tough week at work, Im trying a new beer (Cruzcampo), whilst building a new Tamiya. Bliss Friday evening!

      By the way hows the new beer going down ?

  22. Ive been very quiet on the RC front. A genuine bit of RC fatigue, Ive not even been interested in catching up on forums or RC Youtubers, Traxxas have released a new Maxx Slash which is right up my street yet I havent pulled the trigger and I am unlikely too. Truth is, Id picked up most of the RCs I wanted (the Tamiya R34s, NSX, Supra and various Porsches) and I kinda felt Ive achieved everything with my RCs…. However, I had an Audi A4 on order at my local modelshop, and last week I did my usual eBay searches and made a purchase. Must be a sign as today as I was leaving for work, I got a parcelforce notification a parcel was out for delivery, and on my lunch break, I got a text saying my A4 was in at my local modelshop. So a double RC Day. Also picked up some paint etc Audi A4 TT-01E. Such an iconic shell IMO. Obviously a rere but itll be built as a shelfer so no problems. Now this is also a rere. I missed out on the original ReRe run, so had to pay over RRP, but I still got this for sub £200 all in which I think is acceptable. Its also on a TA03RS, quite a rare chassis that Ive never actually built. Of Course its the Porsche 911 GT1 Street. I do wonder if I could obtain some “race version” decals?
