Grumpy pants

@jonboy1, I’m really sorry to read your news about your dad and sister in law. Tough times no doubt, hopefully you’re ok and your sister in law is well and truly on the road to recovery.

Great fun the KH, it is one of the few Tamiyas’ I regret selling -

Like this? -

I had 3 bids cancelled yesterday on 3 separate vintage RC’s on eBay. It happens from time to time, but it still took me by surprise - if nothing else it saved me from spending money on items I don’t really need 😂

Great write and subject choice 👏😎

I’ve just used this method, still got a sweat on, but it works -

Great build, really enjoying it 👍

👍

As you see them in the photos. The alloy parts were fitted to a Shelf Queen Wild Willy 2, and I suspect the black plastic parts are all WW2 as well. Stupidly I have misplaced the grub screws for the alloy servo posts 🤦‍♂️ £20 posted, collection always welcomed 👍

😳

What these guys said ⬆️ 😎👏

Very nice! 👏

Always interesting items for sale @Saito2

This was my commuter scooter up until about a month ago, until the insurance company wrote it off, due to another attempted theft 🤬. It was my 1st Scooter so it felt fast and as it was 350cc 💨 there was some go in it - Nicked named Big Bev by my wife 😂

No problem, lucky daughter! A rowing scholarship was her ticket to Dallas. An amazing experience for her, no doubt 😎

It was bonkers hot 🥵but a great trip. This was the flight back just as I landed back in the UK -

You were just checking, that we were paying attention 😉

Looks like a nice piece of kit Andy, especially with the new sprues and the box. These rarely come up for sale, so pricing it won’t be easy. Sage words from @yogi-bear imo. Set an asking price on eBay you feel happy with add the ‘make an offer’ setting and then work back from there. Tamiya prices have been coming down, and the vintage stuff has started to soften as well, so if you don’t get lucky you’ll either be in it for the long haul to get your price or you will have to lower your asking price to find the market place.

Very cool @ ferruz 😎 I can’t help but see the Buzz Lightyear colours 👍

I think this is one of the many positives of Tamiya, you can upgrade nothing at all or go completely bonkers 😂, it’s a personal choice and there isn’t a wrong way to go. I’m too tight to buy lots of hop ups, but I do see the benefit of them and I’m not adverse to a bit of ‘shiny’ 😎

A good looking car the 2002 😎.

Honestly beyond bearings and a steel pinion, anything else is only because you really want to imo. We ran a WW2 as a family and it was fantastic, we only had 1 small suspension component break. However, if you’re going to buy some ‘shiny’ then, a wheelie bar, servo posts, gearbox bridge and the TL01 stainless steel suspension are a great combo. CVA’s are a nice add on as well as the high torque servo saver.
