Gday all.

After some correspondence with mtbkym01, we have decided to organise a Vintage/Re-Re bash at Mitchell Park.
I went for a drive down there yesterday to have a look and get some pics.

















I apologise for the poor photos.
The contrast with the shadows and sunlight made it hard to get much detail.

No dates have been confirmed as yet, but anyone who is interested, please post!

With enough people, we could make this an on going thing.

Good stuff Falcon#5, it appears there is not many of us here on Tamiya Club. We may have a little more success over on RCTech.

I've been told I should get a start date for my Transfer to SA in the next week or so, then it's full steam ahead, Got a couple more runners to add to my list aswell

Track looks ok to me for some old school fun

Nice work. I'm sure you're glad to finally hear something, instead of everything hanging in the air.
I saw your latest additions, congrats! You'd be struggling to find somewhere to keep them all now!

I think it was KalEl63 who said he was keen for a bash also.
But he is waiting for his house to be finished being built, so he can get his cars out of storage.

So looks like we have 3 from TC.

I also went to Angle Park on Sun to have a look at AERCCC.

Weather was a bit dodgy, so was only a handful of people there.
Saw one qualifying session, then heard over the loudspeaker for everyone to pack up, because it started raining.
I wasn't there long, so I didn't get a chance to talk to anyone.

I tried to post a link to this thread on R/C Tech, but I couldn't do it because I don't have enough posts.

Track isn't too bad. There are a few potholes/rough sections, where the oil has crumbled away and exposed the dirt underneath.
That might only add to the fun!

I guess once word gets around, we'll have more interest.

Sweet!
Cheers for that.

[Tamiya-Boy]

track looks good, would be a heap of fun

[KalEl63]

I am interested . I will dig out my stuff. I could take the Durga or Lunchie.... would need a new battery for the Durga

depends on the date I might get my BL for the Lunchie

[Falcon#5]

No dates set as yet.

I still need some more batteries, decent charger, and a few parts for my second Falcon.

mtbkym01 should be down in 4 weeks or so?
If we wait till he comes down before we start setting dates, that will give us time to sort out our cars.
(Plus give us another person to race! )

I might even have another car to run by then too.

[Falcon#5]

Oh, KalEl63, have you noticed we live in the same city, and joined TC on the same day?

[mtbkym01]

No stoppin us now boys, should have a few runners rearin to go aswell.

Another car 'ey Falcon#5, I'm intrigued......

I'm eyeing off a few Vintage Frogs. No Falcons!
If I can pick one up for the right price, I'll be happy.
Failing that, I'll have to wait another month or so for a pair of Re-re Frogs.
(Thanks paid maternity leave, wife doesn't know yet! )

Yeah I did the other night when I cracked the 100 post and had a look at yours a heaps more than me

Fly on the wall when she finds out situation?

Well I could bring the Lunchie, Durga, Blitzer Beetle & maybe the TS.... that is a big maybe the TS is sentimental.

Just bring a few mates of my mates to drive and we are set.

I will need to get some stuff for that to happen but. but I think 2 cars could be good.

I have way too many questions I think!

Fly on the wall when she finds out situation?

She knows I want 2 Frogs, one for me, one for my daughter, but don't think she knows how I'll pay for them.

I could run my original Falcon, but really need another battery or 2 and a proper charger.
But would be nice to run my second Falcon, or a Frog too!

You'd still have to bring the TS along, just so we can go Ooh and Aah.

I could bring:
VINTAGE
Schumacher CAT XLS
Marui Big Bear
Tamiya Fox
Kyosho Optima
Kyosho Pegasus

Re-Re's
Tamiya Frog
Tamiya Sand Scorcher
Tamiya Hotshot
Tamiya Lunchbox
Tamiya Grasshopper
Tamiya Boomerang

That's it at this stage, but I got my eyes on a couple others

[KalEl63]

Any inside word on what these others are?

[mtbkym01]

Any inside word on what these others are?

a couple re-re's of my wishlist like Avante, Stadium Blitzer, and Holiday Buggy 2010.

But I'm really keen on tracking down a Supershot and/or Optima Mid of some description.

And another I'm considering is a Manta Ray/Top Force variant in reasonable condition.

Too many cars and not enough cash

[KalEl63]

Too many cars and not enough cash

Yes I agree too many cars for me, and and way too little money.

I have on my wish list
King Cab
Astute
Avante (rere)

and I think that is about it, well all I can think of at the moment. then maybe I might turn my attention to a road car or two. I have the Mini but that is it.

The Avante might take a while to get and then be back out of my $$ as no doubt the rere's will be finished and pulling $$

[Tamiya-Boy]

i could bring my frog, hopefully its ready and a hornet

[KalEl63]

This could be an old school meeting with a few new school cars like the Durga

Might have to take the video cam and find a camera man/lady to video it....

You'd need a trailer just to cart them around!

Tryin to track down a Repro Fox body, It seems TBG has some issue, coz I cant buy from them, just get a blocked message when I try to complete transaction

Found an original, but dont want to spend $140 on one (that's a whole new DT02, Holiday Buggy, Stadium Blitzer etc....)

Have got an Optima body, tyres, decals, driver coming from Marwan in Kuwait , so that project is progressing (although slowly)

And considering a quite rare Kyosho Ultima Outlaw truck, Got a full set of wheels and tyres which are brand new, so it only seems logical that I get a truck to fit them on

Something like this:



What do ya reckon
