  1. Telford in the UK I noticed in your info you like the Astute, Im after one of those too
  2. As title, ideally with manual and box but anything considered really, cheers all
  3. Your not selling a whole one by any chance are you?
  4. Is it possible to unglue and flatten Tamiya boxes? Asking as my loft is an empty box storage facility and I could do with the room.
  5. Regarding the asbestos issue with Traxxas; I've got 2 Slash 2wds (both bought new about 6 years ago) but changed both to LGC chassis. Have moved house since and for the life of me I can't find both of the original chassis, nor do I have receipts or boxes. What should I do?
  6. Beautiful, nice read too, thanks
  7. Thank you njmlondon, that's a great help
  8. Have met someone selling a Porsche 959 but unsure what to offer him and also what I should be looking out for. Version: Its a Rothmans not a Racing, and the box does not have the Porsche emblem on the front like some others do. What I'm getting: Fully built box-art car, box, manual, full period elecs (inc Tx), the Techni-gold motor and the Light Flash unit too. Negatives: Not included is the box innards, no slick tires or left over bits from the original build. Also missing a handful of decals; cockpit driver shirt decals(35), drivers helmet Porsche decals(31), seat headrest Recaro decals(33), one small blue circular decal off bonnet (28) and finally the roof decals of the drivers name, blood type and country(29). Overall condition is very very good, not seen one like this for a long time, chassis is like new including motor and the balloon on the ESC which is intact but will crumble if removed. Body and cockpit appear complete and in really good condition bar the few missing decals. The only other negatives regarding the body is it does need a little tidying up where the cutting of the polycarbonate isnt the best. A really careful dremel may sort this. Its all box-art apart from one thing, where the front skid guard is moulded into the body, its been painted yellow to match the wheels rather than white like on the box. The painting is not perfect either but not bad, Id say 8 out of 10 for the paint job. P.S. All arms appear not to be cracked too.
  9. Interesting read your comment, I know nothing about 3D but what you says makes sense. I'll let you know how I get on with the alloy ones. Was thinking actually, on my visit to these 3d print sites where they sell the files I found a few more items Id like in order to further customize my WPL C74 and C74-1. Not to be presumptuios but would it be a possibility of you printing a few items, I would buy and send you the files and cover any costs plus a payment for your time? No worries if not but if I dont ask I;ll never know; plus as time is at an absolute premium for me currently I'll simply never get around to doing and learning 3d myself. Thanks again BuggyDad
  10. Correct on the fitment. Ive found some alloy adaptors for now on ebay, theyre not perfect but I may be able to modify to work. For running its a WPL 1/10 Suzuki Jimny XC/crawler so nothing too demanding, I mean it has a 370 motor in it and light transmission.
