  1. Cool, cheers !!! got plenty tyres then but would need to pinch from a NIB kit..... oh oh !!! Thanks for the replies mate !!! P.
  2. Yup, saw that already, but is that compatible with the hop up light weight wheel ?????possibly the 50303 pin spike is for the stock disc wheel ???
  3. Hi, Require some help identifying / finding the correct tyres for the OP 46 (53046) light weight wheel set.....at the tail end of sourcing all hop up options for the Madcap and soon to build once I have these tyres Any help would be very much appreciated. Cheers !!! Paul.
  4. Hi all, does anyone have or know anyone who has a NIB Madcap? willing to pay top cash for a good example Cheers Paul.
  5. Nice 1 B great ideas there what kinda speed we talking about here with ezrun 13t set up?
  6. Nice 1 Bromvw, got me a NIB Blitzer in the loft anyway so may just do that...lol Cheers dj, yip I'm sure your mates top force evo was the envy of a lot of Guys, do have a Top force in the loft too but keeping that Bad Boy for a rainy day check my NIB kits in my photo album So to round it up, either I build my Blitzer and hop it up to the max or I go for the Durga and hop it up????? hmmmmm
  7. Appreciate that Guys, nice mix of buggies / choice? really just looking for a good all round bashing buggy that can take some good punishment and fun to drive so many to pick from but all good fum in the process of picking one All the best for Xmas Guys Paul.
  8. This story has cheered me up most greatly..hahaha, ain't it amazing how something so small and of low value can mean so much in the long run, just shows how much Tamiya has filled our lives with happy memories over the years I live close by to Banchory mate (Montrose) so if I ever catch and eye of your Firedragon at any car booty or on the street ripping up the tarmac will be sure to let ya know I have a NIB Firedragon that I may consider selling? check out my NIB pics All the best for Xmas and the New year ahead Paul.
  9. So what is your favorite all round bash or race Tamiya kit build buggy, 4 x 4 or 2 wheel drive? old or new let me hear your thoughts? Going on the results from this may just buy one and put it to the test All the best my fellow Tamiya followers Paul.
  10. Cheers MR C was just a thought with the spot lights shining on the shells every day..... yip looks like I will have to end up paying top dollar for a display case but may just get lucky with e-bay and a local seller here in Scotland Cheers again Guys for all the comments and suggestions All the best Paul.
  11. Cheers Guys, IKEA will be getting a viewing for sure, had a quick butchers earlier on some other sites but they were very expensive will be going for the glass shelved case with internal lighting but my only concern would be, will the lights fade the paint work on the shell / wing over time????? Cheers again Guys (BIG thanks) All the best for Crimbo Paul.
  12. Hi to all and thanks in advance for commenting on this one… So does anyone have any good links or suggestions for good quality floor standing display cases, thinking of going down this road and thought this would be the best place to seek a little advice Will just be displaying my vintage buggies and possibly a truck or two….. Wishing you all the best for Xmas and a great year ahead Paul.
  13. lol No easy decision that, would take me day's to decide but short list would be, Egress, The Fox, Supershot and the Boomerang as this was my first ever Tamiya buggy.......awwwhhh !!!.....lol
  14. Cheers Zac, will do just that regarding the lexan cutters Merry crimbo mate and all the best for 2013
  15. True True mate, practice practice practice..... Hmmm I see you are in Oman? I start a new job in Oman next month, small world
  16. Yip I hear ya P just me being lazy really in the big picture....lol...enjoy greatly the paint and sticker process but at times stress when cutting out my shells and wings....lol....hate to make a mistake at such a crucial part of the build process....lol All the best for crimbo mate P.
  17. Thanks C.H, much appreciated Totally agree Grastens regarding the XB and the finished RC kits and the added cost for extra work required from Tamiya but would still have been nice as an option to have a pre cut wing and body for a lot of the earlier buggies and re re kits Hope you have a great Xmas and new year Guys All the best P.
  18. Ended up sticking a NIB Technigold RS VZ in mine Thommo but yet to find out what it can really do.....
  19. Also..can anyone help me with how to upload a profile pic for the Forum as it keeps saying file to large even though it is not?????? much appreciated Paul.
  20. So tell me this, why do Tamiya not pre cut all the polycarb body shells to exact size? this could easily be done and easily be packaged within the kit box to prevent damage, yes it's a big portion of completing your model to perfection but still can be a stressful task making sure you don't mess it up......you would still be left to paint and add stickers as you like but the process of cutting and smoothing out corners would not be required....... What do you Guy's think? All the best and wish you all a great crimbo and New Year Hope Santa is good to you all
  21. Hi to all and thanks in advance for reading and hopefully replying So who has an idiots guide to tuning one of these Bad boys? will be putting this in my soon to be built Egress (Next weeks project) All the best Paul.
  22. Time to start building !!!

  23. Sounds interesting P, cheers for that brushless was an option at the start yeah I hear ya Thommo but I need to have fun with the beast too before I shelf her got a NIB Technigold coming in the post so will try that out first.. Cheers again Guys and all the best Paul.
  24. Cheers Thommo that set up with an Egress? why you changing to a Sports tuned?
  25. Hi to all and thanks in advance for viewing and hopefully adding to this question So question is, what motor / esc combo would be best suited for building my NIB Egress would prefer to go with today's motors for reliability and for cost reasons as looking down the road of Dynatech etc is way costly but if needs be will splash out for one So looking to bash only with the Egress, so want it to be super quick but not too mad where it will kill the drive package in no time Any thoughts Guys ?????????????????????/ Much apprecaiated All the best Paul.
