    You could try Fibre-Lyte in the UK too - they will make from CF or GFP in thicknesses of your choice.

    Cheers, I believe I used to use them to make carbon and composite fins and frames for our helicopters at Quickuk 

     

    thanks for jogging my memory

    2x17T, tested it on 7V and it did 31500 rpm no load, brushes look great I dont think it did much milage.

    If I compare with this one on ebay it even appears to be quite mint (192327075382)

    PM me an offer, I think I can ship it to UK for 4, 6 or 8€ depending on if you want signed and insured.

    Received the motor today (and the sweets) 

    thankyou so much, fantastic

  4. wow this brings back memories, i was shopping in swindon when beatties where having there closing down sale! i walked in and walked out with a NIB stadium blitzer for £50. never forget that, there were tons of tamiya NIB's all going for stupid money, im sorta glad i didnt have my credit card on me at the time i would have probably maxxed it out :lol: must be like 10 years ago now :)

    i also used to spend hours in beatties in romford as a boy, i could never afford the stuff in there it was only ever a dream back then as my parents couldnt afford it, which is why io dont feel guilty when blowing £400 on rc in one day now im older :)

    Man so meny memories of the Swindon beaties store, watchin the videos an looking at all the hanging tamiya built up models, then I will allways remember so clearly the morning my da walked with me a few days before my birthday down to beaties and got me my first kit, a monsterbeetle, then eventually my dad (had) to get another for himself so he could race with me, afterthat every Penny my paper round and Saturday job went towards buying more kits, everytime I walk pastthe old beaties store I do get emotional remembering the good times I spent there, I'm new to the tamiyaclub and I found this post first and am so glad as it brought back so meny awesome memories, heh I'm now in the process of spending all my hard earned monies on kits I used to have and the ones I could never afford but badly wanted, beaties I miss you and those cool beaties bags
