  1. Ok, its been a while since I last posted here, nice to see things are still rolling along nicely. I just wanted some advice from you guys regarding a christmas present for my father in law. Back in the early 90's he used to help his son with his RC buggy racing at the village RC club on Saturday mornings. As far as I know one of the two buggys he built and helped maintain was grass hopper, I also think there was a 4WD buggy but I'm not sure which one. Since I got reaquainted with Tamiya in the last few years he has said that now he has a nice big reasonabley flat garden and more time on his hands he wants to get another Tamiya (probably more than one) to thrash about. Now, he has loads of money and like to get technical so I think he would like something wich he could hop-up, although I dont think he would go too mad. I'd ike to get him a buggy for christmas as I think he would go nuts for it, the only problem is i dont know what to get him! I think a 4WD is essential and something slick and stylish. What would you choose and why? I know he'd like something modern and not a nostalgia trip, and also someting durable as he isnt the greatest driver! Any suggestions?

  3. As title says: A mint condition TL01-LA, full metal bearings, sport tuned motor, new wheels and tyres, mint astra shell, good condition Integra shell. Has only been a shelf queen! Futaba Transmitter, receiver and crystals new in box. Ansmann ACX1 super fast delta peack charger - New and boxed. New 7.2v batteries - 2 x 3000 and 1 x 1700 Please see here: http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZshiftyjedi1977QQhtZ-1 thanks
  4. Are they? They cost me a lot more than this less than a year ago! Whats the going rate now? If you look in my showroom you can see the Beams Integra TL01-LA thats for sale. The shell in the showroom has the grey paint chipping off otherwise is perfect. Is now fitted with new grey multi spoke "alloys", new treaded tyres, new unused sport tuned motoe and very smart Astra coupe shell in dark blue with dark grey "hood" to replicate a convertible. Someone make me an offer on it?
  5. Guys, I have a TL01-LA for sale. It was originaly a Beams Integra, but I have fitted a Vauxhall Astra Touring Car shell to it, which is immaculate and is painted to match my old road car (dark metalic blue coupe convertible), its an excellent paint job and has only sat on the chassis on the shelf. Also has silver multi spoke alloy style wheels (new) with new "aqua tread" tyres. It has full metal bearings fitted, a Tamiya sport tuned motor (new), the original box and the original shell (paint peeling from areas where wrong paint was used) but otherwise also in good condition. The car saw action once when it was new built on my patio, before all the kit wheels and tyres etc were replaced with the current ones. It is fitted with steering and speed servos. It is in mint condition. Anyone interested? Make me an offer. I'm in UK so I guess postage would be a little under £10.
  6. Please take a look here thanks: http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZshiftyjedi1977QQhtZ-1

  23. So what do you guys make of Dirty Sanchez? They need serious therapy, but they do make me laugh. Naked paintballing...now thats gotta hurt!
  24. Have any of you guys ever suffered or inflicted (willingly or unwillingly) physical halm on yoursleves or other with your Tamiyas? If so, how and why? I once nearly broke my Dads ankle with my thundershot. I hit him square on the side of the ankle with my T shot at full whack with a 15T motor. He was hobbling about for 3 days after. Also hit my cat with my Wild Dagger when it took off unexpectedly the first time i connected the battery after building! Just a glancing blow though and she was fine. Infact she was quite enthralled by it!
