ha ha thanks tbh i do still have my original top-force and would love tamiya to release the fable'd one the evo as i didn't get it the first time round due to cost . i was getting the escort mk2 but i don't like the small chassis and the shells that come one them as they look shrunk to me so i will have to do with my mk2 i have on my tt-01 chassis. but what i think i will get is gonna be in stock until feb/march next year and i think it will take me to tonys place of worship as he gave me a fantastic price on the re/re topforce and manta-ray plus my reefa trailer so i hope he will come through again. i already have the 2 srb's and a couple of trucks plus the bruiser and i cant really top them tbh apart from the tf evo(witch i hope for every year)

when you take a pic look at the top of the screen and you will a arrow type of thingy ... now when you rotate the camera the arrow should point the way you intend the picture to be. on my phone it is in the middle of the top of the phone and it is in the shape of a lightning bolt and you will see it rotate when you turn the phone if this does not match the position you intend to take a pic then it will take it of what ever the arrow/bolt is pointing

lucky my mom lives close the dahm tinitus is as loud as rush hour traffic when i used to walk to work and as loud as the washer on full chat with knackerd bearings someday i feel like jabbing something long and sharp in my ears yeah i started my dj ing at around 17 and by the time i was in my early 20's i was like you my ears would ring until the next day and used to love to stick my head infront of the speakers as well by hey we never learn until its to late do we

thanks the only real old school items there are the graphic from the 80's and the digital timer from the early 80's yeah i brought them all at the same time back in 2006(i think) and i made sure i could get the cassette deck before i got the rest. for me tunes played on a/via computer(mp3) can never sound better then a hi-fi and the same you wont get a better sound from a phone compared to a walkman esp if one has a graphic on it i do have a 70's set up also that is in the bedroom a pioneer receiver and jbl speakers that i had to re-foam and recover the cabinets and i will never sell them plus i am amassing a collection of cassettes deck also for some reason

when i brought mine from my lhs a few years back i think i payed between £15 and "20 for a pair back then plus the £15 ish for the tyres a pair also to match so £30 aint so bad tbh and you do really have to by the hpi tyres to match them aswell as they are a funny size and if i remember also i had to special order the tyres from hpi if you go back a few pages you will see the photo i put up with them on my mk2 escort

the page on modelsport says "Image for illustration purpose only - Details and Specification to be confirmed." https://www.modelsport.co.uk/?product_id=1334538 it seems a bit expensive to me but i may give it a go when i have seen the true size of it in comparison to the one i have on my tt-01 and i hope them horrible wheels don't end up on it

Unique Green paint PS for polycarbonate 1/10 drift build
topforcein replied to nkouki's topic in General discussions
if that is a factory merc colour them go to merc and by a can or find the paint code and name them go to a automotive paint supply and ask them to make a can for you -
