My radio collection is getting rather large. And not by choice :/ But it is cool having stuff from overseas that we here didn't get in the States.

I'd love to have an unmolested gold pan RC-10, but the prices on them have gotten ridiculous in the past five years. I'm about done gathering parts on my next project. It's taken a long time and I'm at roughly 85%. I printed out all extra manual pages with the parts layout and have laid out the individual parts on top of the pages and marked them off in green highlighter as I've collected them. I have the body completed painted in box art colors, along with the driver. The electronics are all ready to go along with the motor. I refuse to say what the project is until I have every last part, as to not jinx myself in not being able to find the last remaining parts, and to keep "Parts Investors" from jacking up prices and gouging collectors. Then it's "build weekend" where I get to enjoy two full days of assembling this thing. But for other projects it's: - M01 Mini bodyset - McLaren MP4/6 body for my F103 - ABS Wing for my Tyrrell P34 six-wheeler - WW2 roll cage with lights

It's really spelled "Tire"

Psst. I'm an hour and a half north of you. What are you getting rid of? As for me, I'm kind of in a lull right now after tackling two projects, but am collecting parts for an "un-named project"

LTH, I have a Falcon as a restored shelf queen and wanted to say thank you for sharing this, even if you are selling it. Your Falcon is a nice, unmolested original. Goes to show that many examples that were loved once upon a time, are still out there hiding away in attics and basements.

Should have mentioned that my Tyrrell P34 is model #49154 ABS hardbody version :/

I'm interested in this also, as I'm looking for a spare rear wing. Tyrell parts seem very difficult to come by.

x3. That's gorgeous! Well done Ferruz!

Oh my goodness, I can't believe I missed this Thank you Chris

Wait, what?

Please do John and welcome by the way

Whoa...I've never even seen ANY of those buggies other than the Kangaroo! I learned something new today!

Oof, that's one homely looking buggy :/ I have an Aristocraft Challenger II radio setup in my vintage Frog. I use it because it's vintage and brown and horrible looking, but still somewhat charming

You mean that godawful pile of poop "The Striker"?

This was the very first two group of cars that came to mind.

Yep

I've used a bunch of citadel paints for my drivers' faces. Works well.

I'm across the Pond, but just wanted to say that you have a wonderful collection and thank you for sharing your story.

PP Bones Brigade tech deck....NOICE!

<off to Googles Arma Outcast> Jesus Christ that's an ugly truck....

Stranger at professional slotcar race: "Hey, Who's winning?" Me: Anywho, not my cup of tea, but I can appreciate the technical aspects of the hobby. Kind of like my grandfather, who built engines for control line speed racing. He didn't fly the planes, his expertise was in the mechanical details in getting raw speed out of the engine.

x2 Would love to have the Wendy with the hat and boots

@Hibernaculum I've watched that same youtube slot car video and was left with a very confused feeling akin to "how the heck is that even fun?" I still love that shot of the 959, lord what a beautiful car. And that was the draw back then, R/C's looked like miniature dune buggies. If you wanted an aftermarket body, you had Parma and Bolink giving folks semi-scale representation of full-size cars. Heck the first time I raced competitively was with a Kyosho Optima running a Bolink 63 split-window Corvette body. You also had the unobtainable Robbe stuff that was gorgeous, but out of the reach of most 12-year old kids at the time. Modern-day R/C's don't excite me whatsoever, which is why I've gravitated back to the vintage stuff. I've even gotten into the more modern Tam's, such as the F103, M01 Mini and Ferraris because of their scale-like appearance. I'd would LOVE to do Rally Cars like Truck Norris's commissions.
