Grumpy pants

Having a major rethink on Tamiya, lack of time and spare £££‘s is getting me down. Figured roll back to basics, sell what I can’t enjoy and buy some basic models to build to keep my hand in with.

Posted my lovely Super Shot out to the new owner today and bought a NIB Grasshopper kit. 3 out 2 in, not quite the right ratio but there you go 😂

Wow!

The T/x and r/x are no longer included as they have been sold separately .

Yes still have it.

Well after last weeks sale of the M07, this weekend it is the turn of my M08 to go. Soften the double blow with the purchase of a TT02D 😂.

It’s the R33 body and it’s looks like it have had bearings included in the kit. It should arrive early next week, I’ll post a few pictures up.

Hi everyone, I’ve just bought a cheap TT02D. Mostly built unused, with an unpainted Skyline body. I’ve got no interest in drifting personally, amazing to watch but not my thing. Aside from suitable wheels and tyres, will anything else need changing for tarmac use? Thank you! Simon

Always a high quality thread and build 👍

Bought in 2023. BNIB, untouched, complete, ready to build. £225 collected or + P & P @ cost fully insured. UK only for ease. PPFF

Bump before eBay this weekend 👍

The only items not in the photo are the 2 NIP pinions (13 & 15T).

Totally with you in this ⬆️

New built 2023, never run. Has fitted bearings, JK-RC alloy shocks, ST motor, ESC, servo, RTR. Hex conversion and 2 sets of buggy wheels. Also included, BB wheels and tyres, part used decal sheet, 2 new pinions and unbuilt CVA’s. If collected, then there is a left over can of Tamiya paint and kit box. Looks well built, never run, not a great paint job. £100 collected, or posted, well packed and fully insured +£15. PPFF. UK for ease. Happy to WA if it helps 👌

Nice bodies on these and imo a great chassis’. What’s the plan, shelf queen, runner or selling it on?

Reluctantly sold my M07 as it hasn’t seen day light since buying it last May. However it has gone to a good home within the TC community 👍

Fantastic, been hoping this was still on your ‘to do’ list 👍

@Ferruz 👏👏👏👏👏

The smallest order, sent with grace and good will, thank you @jonboy1 👍

Bump!

1st RC purchase in 3 months! For the stalled XV-01

Looks fantastic Jonboy, you must be feeling pretty pleased with yourself and quite rightly so 👏 What’s next? 😉

I’ve been thinking about buying something to blow the dirt and dust off RC’s on a budget too -

I’m a massive fan of the Konghead 👍 Great fun and amusing to run and watch in action.

No worries bud. Sold the 3 ST’s and I’ve owned had about 7 or 8 Blitzer Beetles since as it’s one of my favourite chassis’ that and I love VW’s 👍 Picked up a newly built BB last November which will be my keeper/runner. The neon wheels are the nicest colour I think as well.
