  1. No,im not sure now you said that.How many entries were there?
  2. Haha! I came last! It was more a tongue in cheek photo of my boy looking bored stupid while i took photos. Well it captured the spirit of our RC days out anyway Well done Rad!
  3. See,it works! And no more tablets for me...the horse wanted them back..... And how come you`ve always got a spare few minutes? what a job!
  4. I had a mare masking the roof too.So i done it backwards and masked the outer edge and brushed the roof first,then sprayed the colour. Although some dont like the lexan shell,its served its purpose well when its fell from a fair height!
  5. A nice Hotshot project is now up for grabs,and a Baja F350 project on a Wild dagger chassis
  6. I had an Mtroniks Viper RV Max doing nothing so i put that in.Can turn the delay off on reverse and has adjustable drag brake.I ordered a Novak 55 turn motor tonight so hopefully i`ll have more pull. I keep looking at the Novak crawler combo`s but ive spent too much lately so it will have to wait. The CR-01 is great to use,you`ll love it
  7. Anything for the Jimmy Cagney look! Ok,dumbest i can think of...not Rc related though. Remember when dark green kitchen appliances came out?(yeah they were vile) well we just bought a new white fridge freezer when she said "wish i got it in green now" Well she was out one day and i had the best idea ever.....Mask it and spray it green!(im a decorator so masking and spray gun...easy!) Got it all done and got to admit it looked factory finish....went to slide it back to its place and a flame shot out the back with a big bang! Ran round the kitchen like a headless chicken shouting s**t... s**t! Then noticed that there was a fine green dust on top of every flat surface in nearly every room. Only good that came out of it was she asked for a new white one again.
  8. I put some bits in my trade tonight and nearly straight away i get spam for online poker.Does ticking the box not work at all then? I use different email addresses.I have one i give if i think im gona get spammed. The email i use for this site is my main one that i dont give out that much so its annoying that i get junk in it when i tick the box for members only.
  9. Got an alloy procat and srb project for sale.More to follow.......... Click the link http://www.tamiyaclub.com/trades.asp?id=20387
  10. I thought the same thing when i greased all the teeth and both sides of the rings,then turned it to make sure it was covered all over...you never know i suppose! I lengthened both steering rods by 3mm coz it turns like a donkey...needs 4wheel steering with the set up from the manual. Got one tyre that wont sit straight too...rebuilt it four times now I do loads of dumb things...not saying them on here though
  11. Looks nice with the Hilux on top. Bounces nicely with the Land Cruiser one though....and it needs it
  12. When i first built the High lift i enjoyed it,but this excited me!When its finished its one of the only cars you can enjoy indoors as well. Doesnt even leave tyre marks on the walls,sofas,curtains...its great! Oh yeah,i built the rear dampers with too much rebound and it made it squat.They work in reverse on this suspension to normal shocks.
  13. You sure you`re not an inmate?
  14. Different class! This is what they were made for! Anyone else cringe when they see a Scorcher take a roll? I look away when mine does
  15. I had a bit of time to mess with unimportant stuff this week(she went away with the kids...woohoo!) so i had a mess about with the landjump frame i got from ryanbored. Its not finished but you can see its almost there. Heres a quick look The rest is in my showroom cheers! http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.a...3&sid=20387
  16. Sounds like the paint i used last night.I used a Plasti-kote spray.I used some on SRB motor/gear covers last night.I primed them first and the chrome spray came out uneven and bitty.(no little britain jokes please) I came in from work today,picked them up to move them and it left finger print on the chrome finish.The paint isnt soft and they`ve been dryin for over 12 hours.Its like it had a reaction to heat on my hands. I know this has nothing to do with the bloke on ebay,just warning anyone who thinks of using this to chrome their own parts.Might write to them and ask how they get such a good chrome finish on the lid...coz its not done by their spray!
  17. Dont get me on the postal service! I had a package delivered...well it showed as delivered...on the 7th November last year....signed G Fawkes! The parcelforce driver said they told him they lived there!
  18. I used to build and repair PC`s in my spare time.Not got the time anymore,plus ebay put me off.I just sort them for a few people now. I had three people say the sticks of memory i sold them wasnt working.It was fine,i had the results from memtest still.When they sent it back it was faulty.It was either a different stick or they handled it wrong. I bought a new graphics card that didnt work.So i sold it as not working...and got a complaint...that it didnt work! Bought a new CPU and fan...fan had smears on the blades where the dust had been wiped...and the CPU had pins bent and missing......must have happened in the post he said! Bought memory and the seller wanted cash.Sent it special delivery and he said it wasnt him that signed for it, and just the empty envelope was put through his door! Dont bother even looking for PC stuff on there now.Just drive straight to Novatech and an easy life
  19. Ive seen pipe benders in some hobby shops for small tubing.And ive bent alloy tubing by putting a small tight spring rod inside to sop it kinking,but i didnt do any of the work on the ones you see...already made for me The sand rail was made by j man(on TC) and the other one is the frame from a Kyosho Landjump chopped to fit.The Landjump is being worked on at the moment and should be finished in a few days(hopefully). The Scorcher wheels fit straight on a frog...theyre the same wheels,different tyres.
  20. This is my daughters one http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.a...1&sid=20387 Although its mounted at the sides instead of the roof now.Pics are from my old camera when it was dying so not great
  21. You absolute anorak! Its great though
  22. Limited until Tamiya see how well theyre selling i reckon.
  23. Does that for me too when adding a group,but it doesnt work for editing on a trade for some reason.I changed it on an edit and still got someone emailing. I dont mean it to sound bad,its just any scammer can contact you.
