  1. See if i can make it.Only Hotshots,Frogs and SRB`s at the moment so might be there after lunch.Might even get the Bigwig sorted in time lol
  2. All 3 bidders with zero feedback and winner signed up a day before the auction started!
  3. You can still get the HP suspension if you look around.Best just to get a re re Hotshot...you`ll pay a fortune for a Supershot body alone! Is it going to be a runner? Spike tyres are pretty hard to come by at the right price too.I run a re re with HP suspension and parma,CRP etc upgrades from old and i love the way it handles! Needs toe out for any real steering though.
  4. I still have some mags from the eighties with the Bigwig in...buried deep in a box somewhere!.I hope i can find it...but there was someone who raced one for a while in th UK.I`ll see if i can dig them out over the next couple of days.If i do,i`ll email the pages to you.I do know that i had ones with reviews in them...one was painted green and white...made me go out and get another body to have the same look! Wish i still had it now.....right,wheres that box!
  5. Yeah,its a rip off,but it was stated in the auction,so by bidding,you`ve agreed it.If he had of just said that instead of trying to justify it then it would mean more.As it is he`s actually admitted using it for the listing payment...did he email you through ebay?As thats proof on your part if he did. I`ve had people ask me to say i pulled out of the transaction ,after ive paid,just so they get out of paying the fees!
  6. where did you get your Troll tyres from?? I`ve had some red rears for ages now and cant find any fronts...its bugging me! I was outbid last minute the other day on a complete set! grrrr
  7. Found it!! Ita willychang you want to see.He might be able to help. http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=37542
  8. nice looking frog! there is a post on here where someone done some different hotshot decals in different colours...if you can find it,he mite be able to help you with frog ones.It was recent.
  9. I know the suspension arms etc are the same as the TL01,so am i right in guessing the Tl01 drive shafts will fit WW2?
  10. Ive put them in hot water before,then put foam inserts in for a while or left them in...remember,most tyres expand when running anyway,so if theyre soft,sometimes it doesnt matter
  11. NICE!!!!! what did you use for the chrome? does it come off easily or are you not going to run it?
  12. The second invoice two days later sounds a bit odd to me.I`ve had this before with Jason,but he refunded the money into my paypal account and sent a new invoice with the extra postage included.He did this all through ebay,so everything was done in both our interests.Its too late now,but i would of emailed asking what will happen if i dont pay the extra.If they said they werent going to send,then you just ask for a refund.
  13. Thats Misami Hirosaka`s playground! Wouldnt that be nice to have in your back garden! hmmm
  14. When the re re came out,i grabbed one and a spare couple of bodies.I sprayed one chrome to go on my original Hotshot,and done my re re in orange/white/yellow.I still have a couple of red ones from original so it just would of been mad to do another one.Theres not a lot of body there,so it took me ages thinking of a colour scheme!
  15. Haha! Join the club! I honestly dont know where the money went when i started with the SRB collection...only wanted a runner! I ended up in double figures...words of "wheres that one going ringing in my ears" and every cupboard and spare place taken up with cars,bodies,parts and boxes.They just eat you up! Already had Frog`s,touring cars and spares in every nook i could find..then i took over a walk in cupboard(the hoover got evicted!)tops of wardrobes..even bought a plastic box to go inside my wardrobe hoping she wouldnt notice lol.I was in the collection department of the post office at 7 every morning,and even had my own space at the back so i didnt have to wait...they just put my packages there so they didnt have to look for them.My kids even started saying "who do you love more,me or your cars?"I eventually had to start selling some, realised it was becoming an obsession, and pulled myself together.......then the Hotshot re re came out! and it was "here we go again" lol
  16. Looking for off road meets in the south for running my cars.Or does anyone know of good places (beaches etc) for running.Wouldnt mind sorting something out for a monthly or fortnightly bash or something.So far i only have my 9 and 6 year olds to run them with...although we have a laugh...well...you know!
  17. Hard one this,i think.I wouldnt have some of the parts on my cars if it wasnt for the wreckers.I dont agree with wrecking a nib though...thats just criminal and disrespectful (only my opinion).Some of the older cars,if still nib should be left that way or built but never have the blisters chopped to make a few quid.
  18. You can still have an original and run a re re! Most(if not all) of the re re`s have been changed in some way,so having an original still means something.It`s great for people that like to run their cars.I was out with my son last night..he ran the original Hotshot and i had my re re Hotshot.He broke the gearbox where the bumper fixes and the left steering upright.I can repair it no problem now instead of waiting for a part or paying over the odds on an ebay store.I still run 2 original Frog`s and a new built Brat...the Brat runs miles better than the Frogs with universal joints and other upgraded or newer parts.I love the re re`s as they allow nostalgia for blokes my age and younger people to have a go with the cars we used to run.Although not all the changes made to the re re`s have been for the better...what have they done to the new Frog etc uprights?! they just fall to bits!But most,especially in regards to the Hotshot drive train,have been worth it
