Any idea how much the tamiya ones are?

I wont post the ebay link as its a live auction but the guy says its a clone of the tamiya 4 wheel drives. Takes 2 AA batteries. What is it a clone of? A tamtech maybe as thats all i can think of. Priced at £3 N/R with a BIN of £10, it must be bad.

quote:usually for around £15-20id="quote">id="quote">the esc he was talking about is only £19.95! They are poor controls. The predacessor to this one "mtronims eco 2" was much better i feel. More punch and more breaks. Not waterproof though. Shame i connected a battery backwards to it as now it only goes forwards with no brake!

Time for bold font me feels... []

Thanks for the offer twinset but IT WORKED. Between that and tamiyaclub, i havent got any time left to sleep!

Well, it was removed from ebay, probably a behind the scenes offer. Its a shame when people do that.

That has brought up all the info i need i think. I will let you kjnow whaen i try later. Thanks mate

XBOX have gone online now for gaming but you use your existing broadband connection which plugs into the back of the box. Its meant to configure itself automatically but it doesnt! Blueyonder uses a LAN connection.

I want to sign up to the XBOX live service but it wont auto configure so i have to do it manually. It wants to know my gateway, subnet mask and dns server adress. How do i find out what they are. If it helps i am on blueyonder broadband. PLEASE help me []

You cant beat having a glass of coke and pouring in a couple of desert spoon of sugar at once. It does make a little mess []

Just surfing through ebay.com and found this one. I got these with a steel protective guard set for the scorcher 2 years ago but had no idea what they were. Its so obvious now, its a dual shock mount!

quote:Funny. They have never charged withdrawl fees here in the USid="quote">id="quote">Thats because its its a US company, you get it much cheaper than we do.

Just been on paypal and saw withdrawal fees cut by 50% here in the UK. Anyone know when they changed it?

If anyone knows the make/model this would really help me out! I cant believe i finally got a picture to show up here. Usually i cant do anything on a computer! [:I]

Lets say they set up something on their website for "best idea for a competition" what do you think it should be? I know there is the obvious "concours" but what about other ideas? I just got thinking when i saw modelsports competion for the best car drawing.

quote:Does anyone still sell space dust?id="quote">id="quote">Sure do Twinset. If i remember rightly its that stuff thats crackles and snaps in your mouth isnt it? If so, nowadays its called FIZ WIZ. Comes in a red sachet and is strawberry flavour. There is also a purple blackcurrent one. It was a few years ago i got some. Was about 15p a pack. That stuff is strange! You can also get something called WONKA EXPLODER which is a chocolate bar with that stuff inside.

I have always used sticks since i started about 6 years ago. I have a wheel one on my emaxx but dont think much of it to be honest. I think i will always use sticks. Unfortunately, you cant buy a decent (mid priced) stick controller here in the uk. You can either pay around £200-300 or £5-15! Still, the cheaps ones are alright and does the job.

[] I always thought that because they are all called "smart"ies you can spell with them ie; being smart. Well, something like that anyway...

Just an old add from a wanted web site. Cant even remember what it was called. It all depends on what his version of only run in means! Could be like some people descriptions where they say mint and its scratched and smashed up. Maybe i might be able to negotiate free postage into the deal, you never know. No idea what hop ups are installed in the frog though. Anyone know the normal (1st) mods done to it are? Ballbearings are always 1st then ??? I dont like buying stuff when its somebody you dont know who sends a mail from the blue saying "i have this for sale" Still, its not alot of money and there are more expensive cars out there to pretend you have. Worth the gamble i feel.

Just got this mail: quote:You were advertising for old Tamiya. I have a 4WD hotshot and a Frog withmodifications for sale. The hotshot has only been trial run and both have full Tamiya wheel bearings etc. Complete with two transmitters and a RIKO charger, again virtually new.£60.00 for the lot id="quote">id="quote">I think that sounds good price, do you think that seems good? Never considered these cars before but for £60 (if they are alright, havent seen a picture yet!) i thought they would be good for the spring drive.

Probably too slow to measure on todays dyno's! []

I might be tempted but shipping to the UK would be more than the goods cost! I really just want the beer though...
