What is the most ridiculous Tamiya kit?

Anyone know anything about SamiRC Norway?
simalarion replied to Siclick33's topic in General discussions
In my experience they will come back to you the same day, but in your case (i think) they may look for a solution sending to UK before coming back to you, this is probably a request they do Not get every day :). -

What are your future plans - when you're getting old?

Hoping my Kids eventually will get into RC Cars as i am not getting out off it again, but if they are not i will do much more RC stuff and contact RC communities when Kids grown enough to manage on their own... -
Very nice Body, do you have the Size measurements?, hope im not reported on #MeTo for wrting this (if body it is shorter than MK2 Escort i will grab one so i can then choose diff length on the chassi)

For many reasons its been awhile since i posted on forum. But today i installed a SuperStock in the C-Avante i originally bought for the Kids:

What are the different wheelbase supported on M08R?. I have Tamiya 51658 Ford Escort MK.II Rally Body (239mm wheelbase) and on this body i will need to longest setting on the kit length, there are 3 length setting on MO8-R does anyone know the exact measurement the 2 others? (239mm is the longest setting). I am looking for a shorter body so i also ofc can make the kit shorter, i see a Abarth body on 160mm but is not as good & detailed as the Tamiya Abarth and i can see its to short now (See update under). Edit: I actually se now that Andreas W just replied on just this just 2 post over, what are the Odds for that (did not look at the other posts today before asking my quesiton)... Both Abarth bodies from Tamiya seems to be the same as the escort i have (239mm wheelbase) but i believe the length can still be different ? Edit2: Found - Tamiya Fiat 131 Abarth Rally Olio Clear Unpainted Bodyshell and Parts Set (190mm) for Sale But This one say 190mm and further down 239mm wheelbase, so what is 190mm and will that fit M08R ... Still not quite sure if i get the measurements correct here, a bit confusing (im @work so i can not check)

Cheap SuperStock from PJ (as long ar order are under 350kr it goes straight through), are putting it in C.A the kids are using :), its 4wd and quite Robust so I think it will be just fine

Im confused, whats going on in the Picture?. Is it a fusion of traditions where small American santas have traditionally tea time in Japan -
AS i fully understand the Nostalgia in buying or 80'favorite`s but i will add my own experience (just throw it away if it not suit you of course). I also started up this Hobby again quite recently, as many others i was druuling in the Tamiya catalogue as a kid watching Hot Shog, Subaru Brat, Frog, Black Foot, The Grasshopper and so on, so i started up with The Grasshopper that not only look great but for me is the Icon that i believe started it all because it was affordable and very Cool (and everyone wanted the 540 upgrade hehe). And yes i enjoyed the build but the other aspect of the Hobby, Driving, did not go so well as The Grasshopper well, i just that, a uncontrollable hopper that will brake fast due to bristle plastic and weak parts, today im happy with just looking at it, i do not drive it anymore so i do not brake it more. So i thought my next kit should be something i could drive and this forum suggested Top-Force 2017 incl damper upgrade, so i bought that from RC-Mart and building this kit really was the factor that made pick up this Hobby again and also include driving them. So my very hoped up Top-force with Super Stock motor is a pure joy to drive I enjoy looking at the 80`s stars and would also enjoy building them, for me on the other hand do not want just shelf Queens (i do not have room for it anyway living in a city), so for me to enjoy this Hobby to the Max i still want Tamiya _(for the looks and build) but i also want a Ok driver that handles modern Lipo & Brushless setup, so when i now choose a new kit and will test Brushless setup for the first time i would rather choose new kits with better plastic and better solution so for me it will probably be the BBX that both looks stunning (to me) can handle rougher terrain than Top-Force and drive OK. I think the 80`star i will just enjoy looking at on this Forum and online videos.. BBX is quite similar to Hot Shot so i would like to suggest you buy a BBX
