OHHHH, The precious, we wants it.....we needs it. Come on Tamiya, you know you want to

First see in the..um plastic? was a QD Pumpkin, saw lots on the video in Beatties stores, but it was the Pumpkin i saw first, screaming along with it's nose skyward. Swapped the guy for a pack of cigarettes in the end and that was my first Tamiya, strange that i can't remember what happened to it.

Hello good people, im in need of some help again plz. I've put a Quicrun 1060 ESC in my vintage Boomerang, as well as a new standard motor. Thing is it goes faster backwards and slow forwards, i tried swapping the wires from the motor around so reverse is forwards on the controller and it does the same?? Any ideas guys?

Finished... Has a Hobbywing Quicrun 1060 esc, And a new standard motor, new steering servo. What ya reckon for a first resto? My sticker skills need improving, but im happy with it. Just need a few body clips.

That thing is a beast ! LOL I've talked the wife into buying me a Sport Tuned for my birthday, Then i think my plan will be to put the standard hornet motor in my Vintage Boomerang, which is sporting a Quikrun ESC already, motor in it is a bit tired. Also, would i keep the standard pinion on the new motor?

Sorry NOOB question, are they all the same fitment ?

Thanks for the reply, i understand it a bit more now. The ESC Is the TBLE-02S that came with the kit, but may swap it out for a Quicrun 1060

Hello all, i'm thinking of changing the motor in my hornet for something a bit more lively, but not too much. However, I don't understand the turns and suchlike for them, any suggestions plz? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/381149537764?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649 This perhaps? Garry

One of these.. Seems like it's worth a go for the money, Hope to get my Boomerang running for the first time in many years

I may come along to this, but as a spectator, be nice to meet you guys and watch the racing, maybe do a bit of filming perhaps..

Welcome dude,

This is a great thread, all of them fantastic... Such skills Sadly i don't have a Willy

Hey guys, need some help with servo's, well a recommendation really for steering servo's. Noob to this really. Recently bought a 40th Anniversary hornet, Comes with a TBLE-02S speed controller as you all probably know. I presume all the connections are a standard fit ? What would should i get ?

Your doing really well, im enjoying this project. Any idea's popped into your head about making the sled too ?

Thank you. Im happy with it for a first restoration. I Like things that i build to be as individual, as i can, hence the yellow. Already looking for the next project....Frog...............mmmmmm....Grasshopper..mmmmmm...Ahhhhh !!!! LUNCH BOX??? :( :( ( So many

The story so far.... Needs a bit of tidying around the windscreen, clips the hold the body on. The search continues for a good bumper, and i need to get the driver. Compared to what it was like when i got it, im happy, glad i could save the old fruit.

I would like to try and make a old junkyard Pumpkin, ya know..rust, etc.

Started my first build, 40th Edition Hornet, well i say started....was only planning to build the gearbox..... Just got to put the stickers on it now..

Any one of you fine folks know of a place to bash near Southampton/Hampshire.?

Got mine today...Wanted a hornet since first release, now finally many years later... Very Shiny... Looking forward to the build.

Yes i have done, waiting on a few more bits to arrive now..

Tried to save the original body but alas... Think it has been painted with Hammerite or similar, Writing it off. So... Needs a bit of tidying still, So far so good.

Well spotted, the wheels have been stripped of that horrid paint and sprayed yellow, Im quite happy with it so far..

So a replacement body is on it's way, original was terrible and the wing was broken, while i wait i thought i'd have a go at stripping the paint off the old body, just for a bit of experience doing it... anywho found this under all the paint..

Can one of you Gents help me again plz ? I'd like to put the bumper back on that came on the car when i got it, however it's cracked quite badly, i've glued it, but it doesn't seem that it would last, any ideas about maybe putting something underneath, over the split to strengthen it ?
