  1. @Twinfan I think that is some sound logic. I was thinking it would be close to the Top Force Evo in terms of pricing but I had not considered the pink motor. £399 RRP with some places offering it at £369 is where I feel it will be. Going to be a great kit if it comes for those of us dreaming of one. Wonder if there is anywhere that still has the original Rere priced on their website.... I am off to check.

    Great question @Kol__

    I have been really disappointed with some of the offers which is why I put this topic up to try and capture some of the genuine good deals. Seems they are really hard to come by this year!! I was hoping for something a little better but it seems that the usual offenders are offering usual prices under a Black Friday sale banner. Be careful out there RC shoppers 👍🏻


  3. Thought I would start this up for those wonderful deals heading our way over the next few weeks. Be careful out there as I am seeing plenty of “deals” going up which are clearly not deals! I will try and keep anything good that comes up in this thread added below and will remove them if they sell out or change.

    DEALS

    Here are a couple of great deals I have noticed this week:

    Not Black Friday specifically but interesting to see that the Rising Fighter is back to £65 including an ESC.

    One of the lowest prices I have seen for the MB01 Fiat Abarth 1000. I know this chassis has received mixed reviews but tempting at £130.

    Well, I'm sad if these two are being discontinued, even if we kind of knew already. I think they're ace. I'm even half tempted to pick up another, but I won't - I've already got one of each. 

    I think and was thinking the same. Such a shame and I hope that the parts supply and hop ups at least continue for a little longer!


  5. @Tamiyastef thanks so much for the comment dude!

    I really enjoy putting all this together and every year there are stories to tell. This season I have been some impressed with how the 2WD buggies performed out on the track they have really closed the gap on the 4WD. 

    I need to come up with a new idea for the rally cars for next year! Vintage 4WD coming next pal 👍🏻

    Feels only fair I give you the whole lyrics

    *(Verse 1)*  
    In the days of rally’s prime, a legend shone,  
    Lancia Delta Integrale, carving its throne.  
    Turbocharged power, all-wheel drive might,  
    Blazing through the mountains, racing through the night.  

    Through mud and snow, it owned the track,  
    With lights cutting through, no turning back.  
    The roar of engines, a thunderous sound,  
    In the rally of dreams, it astounds.

    *(Chorus)*  
    Oh, Lancia Delta, you're the one,  
    Blazing trails, under the sun.  
    With every roar, with every scream,  
    You're the rally of dreams, the racing machine.  

    *(Verse 2)*  
    With every stage, you staked your claim,  
    Lancia Delta, immortal name.  
    Bold lines, iconic flair,  
    A champion’s heart, beyond compare.  

    In the hall of fame, your legend lives,  
    In every victory, the strength you give.  
    A symbol of power, pride so true,  
    Lancia Delta, we race with you.

    *(Chorus)*  
    Oh, Lancia Delta, you're the one,  
    Blazing trails, under the sun.  
    With every roar, with every scream,  
    You're the rally of dreams, the racing machine.

  7. @markbt73 thanks pal! There have been a number of seasons for the Orchard Raceway and I don’t intend on stopping just yet. The fleet keeps growing and I try to mix things up each year to make it interesting for me and those that enjoy watching along.

    You can’t beat a Raider!!

    This season is set up for a fantastic finale in a few months time but until then enjoy catching up 🙌🏻

  8. I am a little behind on video production this summer but al the divisions are at least filmed and I am ready to run the finale in August. 
     

    Here is the start of the Vintage 2WD division with my Kyosho Raider taking to the track. Never going to be the fastest but a car which I can’t get enough of as it was my first ever RC. This one is a rebuild of two eBay finds with some modern additions. Next season this is getting a rebuild with a fully carbon chassis which is a nod to the old California Hot Trick!

  9. RC Time Trial Orchard Raceway 2024 Modern 2WD Hot Laps Time Attack

    Are you ready for more OR content?

    Modern 2WD division takes to the Orchard Raceway this week.

    First up is the Tamiya Rising Fighter bouncing around the track.

    Then we see the Tamiya DT03, runner up from 2022. It is out for redemption after a very poor showing in 2023.

    Derek the Tamiya Holiday Buggy follows with plenty of oomph this year from a RZ motor paired with a carbon chassis.

    Bringing up the rear is the Tamiya TD2 which was a finalist in 2022 but also had a tough season in 2023.
     

    Let me know what you think of this collective video?
