  1. ive tryed to pm you but it says you cant receive messages
  2. arrr ok you may not be able to do what i want then (witch is a full size decal to fit on the side of a reefa trailer)
  3. wow that's a beaut you say that for buisness purpose cause if so i could give you a order
  4. you could always try a plating company close to you but it may be expensive plus if the plastic is old it could be brittle and may get damaged in the process but try and find a platers that do small stuff
  5. agreed she looks amazing well done if you can do the steering mod as i have jut done on my grand hauler and will do on my merc when the other rod turn's up
  6. swoped out the rear damper cylinders with nos on the hornet after the originals leaked the oil out when i serviced them last month changed the front uprights on the manta ray deceided to have another go at the grand hauler steering mod swoped the rod ends for offset ones to give even better angle and seems to have done the trick. swoped the servo saver for a alloy one also that just happened to fly through the letter box while i was doing the steering mod gonna order the same parts for the merc truck
  7. dahm i recon you could swing more than one cat in there
  8. you could also get hop-up 84365 cw-01 short shock unit set 2 yellow style i got a set from tony a coupe of years back when i went to his place to collect a order seeing this i remember i have still yet to build and fit them
  9. swoped out the stock steering arm for a cranked one on my grand hauler also added a hop-up alloy air tank i brought last year. it's not where i wanted to put it but i aint taking it apart to put it half way up the chassis so its on the rear part know.
  10. that is one thing i dont spake is the "queens engish" if i was talking to you you prob would not under stand me they do look great i may have a go at doing this in my merc when i get a right hand drive dash. i did manage to convert the dash in my grand hauler to right hand drive and installed a fibre optic system its not pretty as them dash's but it does serve a purpose and it cant be seen that much anyway as i have tinted the windows
  11. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tamiya-Manta-Ray-2018-Hard-Prop-Shaft-Motor-Mount-Set-RC-Cars-4WD-Buggy-47373-/132609769264 thats one
  12. decals.... deckals it the same with aluminium and jaguar .... mike from wheeler dealers tryed to get some guys from the lowrider scene to pronounce aluminium the english way in a program the other day the dash is looking great can't wait to see it lit up
  13. just a pair of uprights from tony for my manta ray but they are black and not the red as the black are the first pair to come up for sale for a while when the red finally crop up i may get them but for me the black look better than the red
  14. look at tit this way what ever is not in the re re kit compared to the original i recon they will get released as hop-ups witch if this happens then at least we will still be able to have it close to the original
  15. your all cancelling orders just because it don't come with blister packs you will regret doing it i aint happy either but i certainly aint gonna cancel my order as i have been waiting for this re-re since the 90's the re-re top force does not come with blisters either and that dont make it a useless rc this may a new trend with tamiya or it may be them cheaping out on the packaging who knows but it will still be a collectable kit nether the less
  16. just a cranked steering arm for my grand hauler to make steering better if it works i'll order another for the merc
  17. i know it may sound daft but i remember seeing a episode from either the 1st or 2nd series of home and away when they cover'd this i think alf n his mad sister lost someone
  18. ive just finished watching terri wilds latest build of a king hauler and in his latest video he does the steering mod i noticed the wheels looked the same as what i saw a chap on u-tube called bruce wilson on a full sized truck he did up. i think i only have a cheap servos on my grand hauler and i cant remember if i have the hop-up alloy servo saver and mount the colour really pops in the sun and is house of color paint
  19. the wheels look great are they meant to be alcoa reps i went for the tamiya hop-up reps on mine as the tamiya originals are "1" hard to find know and "2" really pricey i got the full set to include the trailer also for the price of the front ones sell for but i did have to buy a set of tyres as i glued them on the kit ones i found the rear wheels do catch the full fenders so i had to put a spacer between the chassis and the fenders to clear the wheels and i also ordered a cranked steering bar to try with the cranked rod ends i already got . the gear stick is a great idea the driver looks great also
  20. i think i have the spektrum 2 or 3 channel on in either my wild willie or honda turbo also
  21. Finally got round to getting a new receiver from spektum to swop the futaba 4yf i have in my grand hauler got it for s grest price with one of eBay's offers. This does away with yhe bind plug and also had no aerial either
  22. a new set of nos hornet damper cylinders as the others are leaking a set of narrow hex hubs to try on my stadium blitzer with the wide wheels that i have on
  23. have you put a door stop on the floor as it looks to me if someone deceided to come 100 mph through that door some of them are gonna cop a unfortunate one other than that it looks great
  24. i recon the dahm ground hog came out and saw a shadow this year and thought smeg that i'm of back in
  25. i do really like the Cascadia it's got a lot of real estate for a great paint job
