Count me in. I want to give the Slash a proper spanking somewhere anyway. Looks as if it's going to rain Sat and Sun, so Monday looks to be the better bet, and I'm busy Sunday.
Could be persuaded. Location?

Heck, I'd even ask if you'd stick em on a CD and post em!

Cool Steelrat! Will be there. Ashford is even nearer for me so looking fwd to it

Hi guys, I'm up for this on the heath sunday 10am? will bring the fd and erevo.
-
Cheers Steelrat. High AND low gear eh? If I opt for high, does that mean grass is a no-no? -with an ST540.

Looks like fun! Can you give me info on the wheels you're running?
Hi there. Yep the wheels and tyres are from a Dark Impact. I was running brushless for a while and the old wheels kept cracking under the power. These ones are tougher, have foam inserts in the tyres and have a grippier compound. I did need to get some hex-type adaptors to get the wheels to fit though as the original FD adaptors are not compatible.

Hi all,
Its been a while. I hope you are all in fine form
I have been busy with working a new job and having a kid too; 8MontholdKid. I got a bit dissolutioned with all my Tamiya models breaking on me -all my fault- might I add! As I wanted more speed, more power and bigger and bigger jumps LOL! So I bought an eRevo to take all the punishment I wanted to dish out. However, although massively capable, the revo is characterless and has no charisma. I have really missed building Tamiya kits, and my restored Monster Beetle -which I sold on ebay to get the revo. I see the Sand Scorcher has been re-released and I have asked 28yoWife if I could have one...seems to have the green light
As a relatively new guy to Tamiya, I don't remember this one from the 1st time around. My first question is whether this kit is good value for money? It seems a little pricey, although the metal parts must add some robustness to the package. I am planning to use it on grass only, in summer with a sport tuned motor...no punishing this time!
I see the Rough rider comes in at a similar price. Any major differences except looks?
Also. Does anyone think that the Monster Beetle will ever be re-released? -Go on, humour me!
Cheers

Mooter, good luck with this one and keep us informed of the outcome. I will definitely avoid your seller as ultimately, people buy from people, and I would rather my money went to someone else.
Look fwd to seeing pics off the MB build!

No worries. another time.

Anyone?!

I will hopefully be there now that I have finally got my 1/16th Erevo
Anyone up for a bash on the heath sunday morning?
-
Nice, I like it! Esp the roof scoop!
-
Cant make it
gotta work. -
I'm gutted I missed it. I will interesting to compare the full size erevo vs the 1/16th version. Great pic's and driving.
Is that erevo the stock brushed version?
Hi arh21! Where was your slash when we needed it??! Yeah the pics were of the stock brushed 1/8th scale model. 1/16 looks cool tho.
Next time.

Awesome pics - they really came out well!
Been doing some looking around on You Tube for videos of the E-Revo. That and the drive I had this morning, three words are making themselves known in my cerebellum:
"I. WANT. ONE"
Ha ha, the dark side is calling. I will say tho that it doesnt have any of the charm or charisma you get from a Tamiya model, but a great model to get reckless with. Ebay usually has some 2nd hand ones for some money off list.

Steel Rat, great to meet you and your muscle cars! Nice driving on the Revo too. Had a good time and esp enjoyed landing some flukey jumps with the Fire Dragon...and it didn't even break anything...!
Your 'Bull Fighter' was good fun and mighty fast too, good old 2WD reminds me of my pumpkin days...eRevo was a blast as usual, just need to get another set of 8.4v batts for longer running. Looking fwd to the next meet. Glad you solved your electrical gremlins.
As promised photos below:

cool I'll be there (penenden) for 0830. Will have to go by about 1130ish. Congrats on the impending wedding Chris. I had a bub recently, 10 wks old now. Its a great thing, but LIFE CHANGING...
-
I did the 550 thing with my old WD. Was a speed demon, but ate dog bones, and the torque damaged the screw holes where the gearboxes join the chassis. Was gonna invest in a alu frame but bought an erevo in the end. Have fun!

Cant wait to see the finished gold bug!

Hi all, had a blast with my FD today and got some shots in the park, even with the standard 540 we had great fun esp when we noticed part of the green was being reseeded! Thought I'd share the day:
Some Air!
A well deserved rest
All the best, 28

Tell me about it! I went to the woods in a valley in St Margarets Bay. Was good with some nice jumps. On the look out for more places!
