Here's my entry to the Standard class. I'm still in the Process of finishing up the Titan for the Modified.

I believe the Re-released set has a couple of black decals printed on it to cover up the mounting holes for the Sand Scorcher as Tamiya put both sets of Mounting holes in the shell.

PM sent

I've Booked in and paid for both classes. Just need to get the cars ready now! Looking forward to the meeting. Lee (Super gripper) roughly how mant Standard and Modified cars you got booked in at the moment?

Last Saturday I was in Southampton Branch of Modelzone hoping to get some Bargain Tamiya 'Rattle cans' but unfortunately they was sold out! I looked at their Tamiya Range of cars and they had 1 Shop display Lunchbox for £99.99 and 2 DT02 Violet racers (1 NIB and 1 Display car) for £59.99. When I was paying for some Tamiya pot paints at 50% off I asked if I could have the shop display DT02 at a discount price as I was going to use it for spares. The shop assistant asked for a price and I just said £45. To my surprise, He said 'Tell you what I let you have it for £40', so a deal was done. He said that some people gave him some silly prices for the shop display pieces and since mine was sensible offer he knocked a bit more off! They gave me the box, Instructions, ESC and all unused spares. I will rebuild it with bearings as it wasn't built correctly and they made a terrible mess of the decals, but I sort something out about them...all in all a bargain.

I'm also looking forward to this. Brought some oil filled shocks for the Sand Rover (STD Class) and still waiting for the Nissan Titan to arrive for the modified class. I thought I be different as most people in the class be racing Buggy shelled cars (with rear wings) and I do like the looks of the stadium Trucks. I torn between using either brushed or brushless in this car but leaning towards brushed. Supergripper.....when is the booking in going to begin? looks like there's going to be a lot of racers!

Hi again, Since I be using the Sand Rover in the Standard class, I thought I may as well bite the bullet and buy another car to modify for the other class. I know the 58511 Nissan Titan Racing is a DT02 Chassis, but the body is 1/12 scale..... I just want to know if this body is still legal for the modified class before I order the kit?

I be interested in doing the Standard DT02 class as I got the Sand Rover. Luchbox race be good as I and the misses got Pumpkins ;-). Not too hard to get from Poole either. Do we have to use handout Transponders? I got my own AMBRC transponder as I do club racing.

I don't know is this been Posted before, but get enough Tamiya 'Farm Kings' together and do a 1/10 version of this racing :- [media=] [/media]

£6.00 including P&P to the UK. £8.00 to Rest of world. For Further details please click this link :- http://www.tamiyaclub.com/trades_model.asp?id=107&cid=85299&t=21012013224859

Not too far for me...but I'm a fair weather runner ;-) Later in the year maybe.

The original Toyota Hilux and Blazing Blazer also used them.

I bought my 'Grey' Import about 3 months ago. I thought that they wouldn't be on sale in the UK so that's why I bought it from Hong Kong (Got caught for Import duty!!). What's different to the official UK imported ones..have the importers put a certificate in with it?

This would be interesting too. The original wheels were one piece.

Have you got any Original Hi-Lux, Blazer right Hand wheel hubs avalible? I Got a 3 Speed that I can't use due to a broken hub and the New Brusier ones are too big :-(

My Tickets arrived yesterday :- http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=115601&id=107

Chris, I don't know if this been asked before, but have we got access to mains power so we can charge?

Just Sorted out a couple runners which I hope to sell, almost RTR. Just need batteries. Ones a Monster Beetle with a Kamtec Shell (used in Tamiyclub Kidderminster meeting in 2007), Another a king Blackfoot with ESC and 40 MHz radio and a QD Suburu Impreza 99 in a good complete condition.

I be there both days. Not taking as many cars as I have taken to Kidderminster as I have now down sized my 1:1 car from an Estate down to a 'town' car. Hopefully I will able to squeeze in some old Stock NIP spares for the Clodbuster, F102 / F103, Striker/Sonic Fighter, Juggernaut, TGX, Thundershot/Terra Scorcher to name a few! Going to be a longgggggggggg drive up from the south coast. Kevinthegerbil #107

Hi Chris, Could you reserve a table for me too for both days. Bought my Tickets earlier today and will have lots of brand new Vintage spares for sale. By the way Chris, your photo is upside down...LOL Kevinthegerbil #107

All paid up and hotel room booked....just looking foreword to the long Journey up from Dorset!! I attended the Kidderminster events and they was just fun. Nothing beats the Lunchbox 'race'. For the T-Shirts designs I prefer 'A'
