bit of a ford nut me had loads of escorts , puma focus currently a mondeo cos the focus died

arrived today bearing are here aswell so can make a start in the next day or 2 i love getting a new tamiya kit its almost a shame to start building it seeing it in its box!

thats how my mate says it i keep correcting him "ta-me-ya but he does'nt listen

hey im in stonehouse not derby as my location indicates lol , have to meet up for a bash!! carl

yeah my mate has a lunchbox he has done a mod but not using a shock , i will have a look at it and decide if i do it his way or with a shock

just ordered myself a metalic pumpkin got it from modesport as they seem pretty good goin on past exsperience , made up the order with a servo and new pullstart for one of my other cars and got free delivery by going a few pence over the £100 so really the servo is free cant wait to get it now , gonna order some bearings before i build. just happens to be bank holiday weekend tho so might not arrive till next week

**** i missed this post lol! but wouldnt have been able to make it anyway, when is the next one likely to be? carl

My Brat gets most use really but 2nd place is the tlo1 f150 then grasshopper. dont run mondeo much as i want to keep it in once piece as long as pos lol on the verge of getting a midnight pumpkin so brat will get some time off

repaint my brat body, buy enough electrics to make all my cars runners and get a metalic pumpkin

me to!!

blimey better start not giving mine such a hard time then will lunchbox and pumpkin be discontinued anytime soon?

i apologise if this belongs to someone on here but i cant believe how much the askiing price is?!? would someone really pay this much for a Rc car? No links to live auctions unless they are your own. Please discuss it after the auction has finished. all the attention to detail and the rear tyres are on back to front

mine brat body is mounted on top of the silver mouning thing at the front with a bosy clip through the hole as normal so that would lift it quite a bit at the front on yours? sorry to hijack thread but is there a steering rod upgrade cos mine keep bending they seem quite flimsy i seem to have real probs getting both front wheel in the straight line

i think they are 1/15th scale i didnt get anything rc ralated but might treat myself to a late xmas pressie next week in the form of a midnight pumpkin metalic

Me and my fellow RC companion who happens to be my neighboiur regulerly bash out on the street as we live is a fairly quiet one , iv been into rc for over 20 years and he about ten years since he put himself in a wheel chair coming off his cbr1000 we got alot of "big boys toys" and "how fast" comments, Another mate came one day with his TA01 lancia delta and decided to drive over everyones front lawns miserable old scrote came out and *****ed us must admit i dont tend to go out on my own for a blap i usually wait till he has some bats ready , i think its more fun with 2 or more

sounds like ablast, i did talk with my mate about venturing down with some of our cars but the weather got the better oof me (being a light wieght i am ) i defo wanna attend a meet tho , maybe next time! where abouts was it by the way? a post code or something so i can look it up? i dont know bristol very well only the bus station and airport oh and cribbs Carl

My dad bought me verious rc cars in the 80s mostly nikko, i loved them all. one was a big 1/10 jeep which i wish id looked after and still had in about 1988 aged 14 i got a grasshopper 2nd hand for xmas but was in good nick, well was till i drove it under the rear wheel of a ford sierra! i did rebuilt it tho early 90s saw me buy a escort cosworth pilot and a mondeo bttc which i still have

i have a re re brat i love it to bits although its not very strong i have had to buy new steering nuckles as both front wheels went off down the road lol. also the track rods are **** they seem to bend quite easily id love a blitzer beetle but i think my next car is either a lunchbox or a mini

i have 4 tamiya electrics and 2 nitro one hpi 1/10th and a hobao 1/8th , i like the nitro just for the fact it has an engine lol i dont run them as much as the electric tho cos of noise and having to buy the fuel but when i do use them its great fun

iv noticed in the re issue brat it comes with a lexen body? aswell as the abs one, anyone know where i can get the lexen body? i have a re issue brat that i bought 2nd hand off ebay a while ago but the body is getting a little tatty and the rear locating holes have broken, i know i can repair this but i would like a body i can paint on the inside

My fathers plate for about ten years,but when he passed away in 2000 it had to be surrendered due to austrian law they would'nt even let me keep the plates as a momento tis my name by the way

sounds like a good buy to me ! my redent bargain buy was hpi 4wd stadium turck and hobao 4wd 2speed 1/8th truck both in nearly new cndition for 150 the pair!!

yeah very vintage i have a ffo1 mondeo from 1994
