I would but I have all-ready been there and the selection is not good, they don't even have the lunchbox.

Thanks for all the replies , I am still very tempted, I know it's gotta be a VW, I was also looking at the toerag, hmmmmmmm, Birthday on Saturday, we will see how drunk I get and what I might buy then, Thanks for all the help trying to decide.

Yes that's normal, It will lesson with the addition of the 3rd shock but my motor still hits the spring.

Gearbox? Noisebox Sorry, I would suggest stripping the gearbox and re-building as per manual to check everything is correct

What wheels and tyres are they?, Nice!

Yes noticed that on one of the build threads, ta for the reminder.

1/6 scale?, I know that's what is says on the blog page, but isn't it more like 1/64?, 1/32? Or 1/6 of an 1/10 car ? I like the mini humpback battery

All understood now, Thanks

@TWINSET, When you said you went to Halfords I thought you had used 1/1 scale body filler (lack of sleep), anyways I have used 1/1 scale body filler on R/C models in the past with good success, might be worth a try? , I used it on a lexan beetle body which was strengthend with firbreglass matt and resin on the inside. It was on my Pumpkin. I didn't know you could get filler for models. Still learning

edit to add, sorry, thought everyone knew that!, we have taught each other something! E2A:I am always doing this, I was editing my post when I saw your reply so I made another reply in case you missed my edit.

Ah, time for a few more of these for me Thanks for explaining, I suppose you thought it was obvious. E2A; Or you did explain earlier and I missed it.

And I would have liked a pic of Dr Frankenstein with weapon in hand E2A: only because I know nothing about styrene, how did you mould it? Did you mould it?, it comes as a flat sheet?,...right?

Cool thanks for getting back so quick My apologies, I thought you had added a lower cargo door I should know about the doors on the lunchbox, I see enough of them on here, It has been a long weekend with very little sleep, I think the Halfords thing threw me And I would have liked a pic of Dr Frankenstein with weapon in hand

I was following this thread but got a bit lost Did you mean a body prep thread on the forums? Halfords for paint? How did you cut the body? And did you make those extra marks(cargo hold doors, and anything else I missed, maybe rear lights?) on the shell?( It must be 25 years since I had a lunchbox) Sorry for all the questions, still learning

Well, I was going to welcome you to the Forums but I see you have been here for 5years?, what took you so long to post your collection? Nice collection and all but took you a while to post it!

Where did you locate the battery on the clod?, I have converted my QD monster beetle to proper radio gear and the 7.2v pack, and fitted bearings, it will pull wheelies with the standard motor, but I was thinking of going brushless

I just noticed that the savage has an optional reverse, I was looking at this truck but it doesn't say if it has reverse or not?

It's my Birthday next week, I have been showing the Mrs this thread but she can't cook beans, never mind a cake! Still, she said she is taking me to the modelshop today so lets hope they have something good. You people are very lucky.

Just found this, tempting

.

Too true, I even asked RC champ for a quote on the clod but decided that I can't, ( saying that if there was a VW shell on the clod?, I would!)

Will be sat on the shelf, maybe some slow driving, If they had re-re'd the SS, I would have had that in a flash but I am a VW person so I think the M*O4L(*Is that an "Oletter" or a "0number") is a calling for my Birthday. Questions,. Are the wheel-arches pre-cut on the shell? What's the kit like to build?, I tried looking for the manual but had no joy!. I saw some of the work that KINGCOBRA has produced, there's no way mine will be of that quality , unless we have a resident shell painter? So should I buy the kit?, well I shall buy it and the Mrs can owe me Anything to look out for? I will buy bearings in case I do decide to run it. Any feedback much appreciated, thanks The dog

How much for the EZRUN?

Ahh, Thats why I used the unsure smiley!, so, as a reformed LEGO user myself and now a TAMIYA addict are you suggesting a connection?, in a conspiracy theory kinda way?, like LEGO is a gateway hobby leading to eventuall Hardcore TAMIYA useage? Sorry, please pass my coat, and my half empty beer can.

LEGO is just above Tamiya
