Thank you! I got those on fleabay about one year ago, they are a no brand generic replacement. I just went back to my past orders to check on the item, so I could give you the right info. The offset on these is a whopping 6mm 😅 sounds like a lot, and yet so much is needed to fill in those beefy arches.
Wheels and tires are good quality in my opinion, the design is ok too though no match with the originals. I wish somebody started making those with the right offset.

I went for one last run with the Lancia Delta up in the Alps, before we both have to pack up and get back overseas. This one was different with the first hints of Autumn, and a lot of fun. I ran it quite hard, and it came back with a few minor glory scratchmarks. I like how relatively good they feel on a scale race car, making it look all the more real!
Exhaust, wipers, mud flaps and antenna all survived well. The latter was blown off during a tumble, but was promptly substituted with a new one. All well worth the effort

Slightly redundand post, as somebody might remember this from the first time I posted it 2 and a half years ago, when I last visited my folks here in Italy. But most of us are keen on some good old nostalgia, so why not!
My good Nonno (grandpa) got me this when I was about 8 years old. It magically survived all life events to this day (remote excluded).
I (re)present you the 1:12 Cobra Turbo from the Italian brand Re-El Toys!
A back switch was featured to switch gears from low to high
Always loved the Kyosho-esque rims on this car
Late '80s/early '90s graphics at their apex 😅
I'd love to properly resurrect it someday

Still at the beach for a few more days. The Hornet keeps going and going, it doesn't skip a beat. Sometimes the motor starts screeching in anger, but a drop of damper oil on the axle-to-bushing spot is all that's required to keep it running. I am once again amazed at its durability!
Tried to get a little better with photos and action shots. ☀️

These days I've been bringing the Hornet along to a beach that I hold very dear. Other side of the pond, on the Adriatic sea.
I've spent most of my summers here up until my mid '20s, first as baby, then as a teenager living all the usual sweet first experiences, then again as a worker/party goer/trouble maker and whatnot
It's no coincidence I come right back whenever I have the chance to visit, along with local friends and the lady, but bringing an RC car is definitely a first.
It's also a dog friendly beach which adds to the fun, unfortunately I wasn't able to capture the funniest situations as the basic remote I have here is just too small to allow me to hold the camera without being in the way of the throttle. Still, we're here for a few days so there will be time for improvement ⛱

Not RC related, but still fun on wheels so why not...
I managed to resuscitate my old little beast from back in the day, almost feels like I'm 20 again 😅
Scooter tuning used to be big in Italy and Germany back in the early '00s, and I certainly got bitten by the bug... so glad I managed to keep it around, 2 strokes 100cc it still packs some punch

Today I brought the Lancia Delta back where it belongs... in the Alps!

Can't believe what I just did...
We are going to visit my folks in Italy and, upon finding out we had some extra baggage allowance, I have put not one but two RC cars in my suitcase.
In my defense, I do have a battery and transmitter over there so just the cars and some spares had to go in, but still it's feeling a bit odd to bring two along 😅
Please tell me there's nothing wrong with that 🤣
@Re-Bugged I hope that by the time I'm on the other side of the pond I will have found the right words to describe how much I like your new Alfa and your twist on the Alitalia livery... beyond stunning mate, really 💥💥👌
