Baddon

Built the re-re hotshot, it was a NIB BUT the seller had done the body which is great as its the bit I like least and also meant I could go from this at 9AM to to this this just now.

lol......skint, the family caravan has a fridge issue that needs fixed....looks like a minimum of £300 to fix and family first????? but just for kicks send me a pic or too with a price!!

just to add to the collection. I now have all the Tamiya 4WD buggies from HotShot through to the Fire Dragon (with exception of the Avante as I never had any love for it as it was JUST toooooooo far beyond my reach as a kid) I have 2 spare shelves in the display case.......WELL I WILL, after I get 2 more shelves made!!! this is what retail therapy must be all about as ever time I look at the display cases (they site beside the dinner table so seem them every day at least once) I have a HS to build as yet, the SuperShot to decal, the Saint Dragon to source a rear body mount, paint and decal, the Boomerang to strip and clean. Tires and wheels to change on Fire Dragon, Vanquish, Thunder Dragon and Thunder Shot. Driver and chassis cover to add to the Thunder Series cars. Oh and the HS 2 to ballrace which will involve a total rebuild....... Oh and a Midnight Pumpkin body to source in decent order.

@Hudson, Thanks for this beauty.

the final (lol who am i kidding......) car for my 4WD collection from start to Fire Dragon. Thanks to forum member @Hudson for parting with it. Posted all the way from France to me in Belfast.

good luck and be patient with yourself.

Hello all. I am after a BP7 for a Saint Dragon (doubt anyone will likely sell one) so was wondering if anyone can tell me how I go about searching if anyone has one I can get 3D printed. Its a body mount and is only used on the Saint Dragon body as far as I am aware. Having never used 3D printing service I have no idea how they work. UK based. Thanks, Andrew

+1 on the Stampede

New only used on a Display model:- Egress set of 4 tires only(2 wide 2 narrow) currently on my Display vanquish but have just bought the correct old school spikes Also a set of 4 wide version suit a Avante etc but on Boomerang style rims, currently on my Display Thunder Dragon (again sourced correct tires) can sell tires only in pairs if wanted. Set of 4 WD tries and rims star dish type not sure of name with mini spike tires, Currently on my Fire Dragon will be changed to originals now I have them. Vintage BigWig wheels with tires (tyres are very good barely used, still soft, no cracks. Rims have a odd scuff ) Oval blocks in various condition, suit Boomerang, SS etc with and without rims. UK based seller. If you need any of these drop me a PM.

BUMP-Anyone a link to a 3d printed part?

All SOLD

Tires now all gone, most of the new parts as well. Only the used but serviceable parts left if you need anything let me know.

Butler, appreciate the offer, will contact seller to see if he is about at lunch time. If so will come back to you by PM.

Anyone got a Hotshot 2 in really tidy condition OR one with no body? Not intrested in Box, instructions or RC gear/speed controller. Based in UK Thanks, Andrew

I have found a buggy I want to complete my 4WD Historic collection (for Now!!!) and the guy has a very tidy example BUT no PayPal and wants a bank transfer. Seems genuine but not willing to gamble £200 on it. Is there anyone near that area that could do me the MASSIVE favour of going and collecting it and I will pay them to post it to me? I can pay him with bank transfere once I know its real (though he has sent me the photos I asked for so I have no doubt he has it. Its just the no back up thats scares the ........out of me) He is on the Tamiya Legands page on FaceBook and have about 5 other buggies for sale. Thanks in advance, Andrew (Belfast)

Madcap as I have just bought a load and now have on the shelf a MINT MadCap & a VERY tide Saint Dragon.... Anyone needs any bits for either let me know as I have ended up with TONS of spares.

Thats a really tidy WildOne....with it being vintage it should be worth a decent amount, a re-re of the same car will be more robust if using with a littler one as its sure to get a prang or four. My son wrecked my vintage Midnight Pumpkin, drove it into the corner of the garage......needs more parts to fix that its now worth!!!

used to love going into the local model shop to see the boxes stacked with top one showing a full frontal.....there were two in Belfast and next door to each other as well. spent hours wondering between the two on my rare visits as a kid. Also the old videos playing on loops in windows of both....SO wanted the Vanquish or at least the Bigwig. Oh and the Guide book thumbed till it fell apart!!! Now I have most of what I watched/looked at in a display case beside me as I type this.....ALWAYS makes me grin looking at it.

Will need to have to get them out, will send you a photo tomorrow.

I have picked up loads of bits to do my MadCap and Saint Dragon and now they are done I have loads left so if any of this of use let me know. UK based:- 2 boxes-- Both SOLD 1 Instruction booklet SOLD New on part tree (loads try me)- quick change gear box cover, front shock tower, rear shock tower, front shock mount, LOADS MORE. - ALL SOLD Used but still in decent order plastic parts. Rear wheels and a new in packet set of rear tires. SOLD Lightly used front wheels and tires. SOLD Full buggy used with a red/orange shell in decent operational condition. SOLD PM with me with anything you need or want.

How about A team livery, Mr T would definitely approve as the more wheels the better.

Just back from our first weekend away this year in the caravan. GOOD family time and knackered. Its like a mini holiday every time out.

TBG eBay shop is closed BUT their new web site should be opening shortly. In the mean time you can contact them using the link on the MCI site. Link attached. Its where I got most of my bodies (TBG) and decals from MCI. including for my Vanquish which I still have to do. I have a SuperShot and HotShot and a Saint Dragon to finish first though.....

Thanks for my HotShot, arrived, VERY well packaged and love that I get to build it and dont have to do the body!!

Collected from work most of the Soldering kit to enable me to put new connectors on 2 ESC that I have put into the boys traxxaas bashers so they can run the 8.4V NiMh rather than just the Tamiya 7.2 packs.
