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

  2. Does anyone know if the big Hamleys in London still has proper RC cars in there? Remember there being a big section of Tamiya kits but they don't list any online!

      They do an inflator as well and I've been making excuses to inflate things.

      Is this just a list of what to buy while you still can so you can sell it for a huge profit when stocks dry up?

  5. DJI Mini 3 Pro, it's a given that i'm getting one to compliment the rest of my "fleet" - i just can't make my mind up whether or not i want the "big" remote, or just the standard one. More convenient, but £860 for a Mini is.. harsh.

      I'm sure the big remote is nice but I like being able to swap between the litchi app and the dji app as the dji app doesn't do everything I'd like it to. I'd guess you can't use 3rd party apps on the big controller. I used litchi recently to get the drone to follow me as I paddled between a couple islands in Thirlmere. (About 12 minutes in the drone follows me and I keep faffing round with the position)

       

       

       

      Updates happen over the phones network and I find this really easy, I don't know but I'd guess the big controller needs wifi or something for the updates so something you need to think about at home and can't do on the fly, so to speak, without faffing round with wifi hotspots from your phone or whatever. I have a pixel 6 pro with a nice big screen and excellent battery life though.

  6. I'm after a set of Gulf racing decals, any recommended sellers in the UK? Heard some places can be a bit hit or miss. Thanks

      Tamiya fans like reres so they keep rere-ing the website.

  14. Can't find much info on the arrma big rock, is it not good or just not very popular?

      I'm kind of torn between that and the Senton at the moment. Was going to get the Losi SBR 2 a few months ago but I realised, due to it's size, I'd hardly use it so didn't bother. I'm still after a tough basher though.

      I think they didn't get enough to fill the orders they had. I was thinking of a road version for mine, something like this:

  20. Ebay Bargain of the Day...

     

    Form an orderly queue please!

     

    £275 new, or grab a used bargain for... £475!  He will 'throw in' a nut driver for the wheels though, so not such a bad deal after all.
