  1. Past hour
  2. Beautiful truck, and likely something her father spent a lot of time working on. IMHO it's a great thing that you actually still have something he built with his own hands, and it would be nice as a display piece in remembrance of him. As @Tamiyastef said above, the memories are hopefully worth far more than the truck itself, and it can live on with the family for many years to come.
  3. That's the same price they list the Wild Willy 2 at, and you can get that a lot cheaper elsewhere.
  4. That's the one with black plastics right!?
  5. Today
  6. I've seen enough patterns in your posting, to predict you will ponder this all freakin' day long and order one before midnight - Just save yourself the torture and order it now!
  7. Fantastic! Would really appreciate it if you can find those pictures.
  8. I guess ETA of April '25 release is fitting, since TB has the previous release date as 4/01/15
  9. Thanks for the pricing info So it's a similar price to the upcoming Super Astute, which here in the UK is around £239. I suspect we'll see the Bigwig at around £245-£249 at the usual stockists, so pretty much what I thought it would be. Nice one!
  10. I believe street price is typically something like 65% of the listed MSRP, so maybe a little under $200? Hoping a little less than that when it’s all said and done.
  11. They (Tamiya USA) always list high though, don't they?
  12. That seems like a lot of money. Anyone know how much it was last time?
  13. "Local" shop had one of these in stock and we just got our bonus at work, so I did the only reasonable thing and clocked out early. Got the Fazer, a pair of swing shafts, and sway bars. JACKPOT, I thought I got it all in one stop. Got home and tore open the box, put oil in the shocks, front cvs in it, but figured I would hold off on the sway bar until I at least test drove it. Cut off factory plug only to find out I am out of the esc side of EC3 connectors. **** it.
  14. Zumindest in Deutschland sind 2 Hülsen dabei.
  15. Thanks guys. In the five years I knew him from 1999-2004 he never had this out, it sat in the closet…my wife remembers him building it in the 1980s and says he likely never ran it after the 1980’s…he moved on to bigger toys.
  16. It was a slippery slope he dribbled down...
  17. I believe!! Both items are no longer marked as discontinued at Tamiya USA and instead are now showing as not available (as recently as yesterday both kits were still marked discontinued). Now the question is when? I certainly hope a couple months at least, I am hurting from Associated and need some wallet detox for a bit 🤣🤣
  18. I get the impression the 380 motor comes with the sleeve? There look from the pictures to be two in the pack: https://www.plazajapan.com/4950344543939/ https://www.tamiya.com/english/products/54393/index.html
  19. Owning two Clodbusters, I can can say I'm well experienced with slow twin motor trucks lol. The plan will be to upgrade in stages and experiment. I have some 20 tooth pinions I could try in the future and 19turn motors I can swap from one of my Clods. Also, that low gearing may benefit me if I decide to put larger wheels and tires on the truck at some point. Lol, imagine these tires on the dagger build, but that's if I decide to go that crazy in the future.
  20. Dang, it's for order right now, due dec 16th. I thought it would be about three months, so I was going to save for it. I hope they make a long run of them, because with holidays, it's a no go right now Why are they spitting these out so fast?...they think we all are millionaires?
  21. Stumbling around in the TC basement with a feeble torchlight, I found a reference to the brass sleeve adapter taking the 2,3 mm motor shaft to 3,17 mm for other pinions as parts number 9804535, if anyone should need that. I saw some gnomes scuttling past in a hurry and it smelled of dragon in one corner down there, so I left quickly for upstairs and the lighted halls.
  22. Yeah, so my friend gave me the car a couple of years ago and without the box or manual at first. Had no identification so I wasn't sure what it was. Posted on r/rccars on reddit and immediately someone identified it as an RCL Incident. Same reaction from people there. From my research at the time I believe it was only made for a couple of years. And I was fascinated with the 4w steering.
