As above a re re Hotshot for sale for a mere 100.00 posted in the UK and with a spare transmission bag,look in my trades for more details, cheers nige

There just when I thought we was getting some good replys(mad Ax and Kev the Rev) someone has to go and spoil it with the old If your it it for money then your it for the wrong reason route.or words to that effect is that a yawn face,cos it should be.

I would keep them mate cos as I said I could'nt find them when I was on the hunt for them

What I do like about some of you guys is the way you think Tamiya are doing us a favour with the Re Re's , give me a brake this must be the biggest money spinner out for them.Old models, all drawings there,all the moulds there, just what have they got to do to get one of these cars back out onto the shelf,er next to nothing.By the way I own at least 5 Re Re

Re wheels,yep same fit as Manta but Manta are a grey colour and bear hawk ones are white,when I done a scratch build bear hawk the wheels were the the items I never found,I had to get manta wheels and spray them white.But if its going to be a runner it dont matter

Anyone want my super sabre shelf'ee,various new parts,box and manual,pics in showroom and trades,a mere 80.00 posted in UK

Easy thing to do is round off the battery holder/stops(the blue bit in the pic) with a file cos the part that is against the battery is flat and sharpe, and put a bit of insulation tape around the wires on the battery just for added protection.I run mine all the time without any such probs.

Is the dude who asked me about my astute box reading this,if so its now up for grabs for a super cheap price.mail me or reply on here,cheers nige

WOW what a lovely pic of a Hotshot 2 , I wish I could buy one as good as that, its really beautiful if that car was ON EBAY I would snap it up

Astute for sale 120.00 with box and manual,more details in my showroom. cheers nige

HZ your the man 1 2 and 3 spot on,thats what I said

forget it, just take away the word collecting from all my posts and you might get what i'm trying to get at. P.S I think that's kill this post off

Le Parrain you dont get what i mean,I like to buy a car and take it apart and put it back together with as many new parts as poss or even buy all new parts and build it from scratch,say I did this with a Lunchbox it would have cost me may be 150.00 plus to scratch build then next week tamiya re re it and only cost 80.00.I would rather buy the re re at 80.00 than spend 150.00 on making one up.Therefore I wont be doing any more buy and do up or scratch builds cos of the re re's. I for one have not got money to throw away. As for buying to gain money, did I not put in my first post that I do not think any car is an instement so buying to gain money is NOT my intention

Mtroniks fits end on on one side and standard acoms reciver fits on the other side no probs with mine.The one hop up I would suggest is alloy front and rear suspension mount as both mine broke and i would not say i abuse mine

As always with ebay its luck of the draw he was just lucky 2 or may be 3 people saw it and really wanted it,then it comes down to a bidding war.Other times you can put it it on and only 1 out of the 3 people see it and it goes for a song ,this has gotta happen to all of us at some time if you sell loads on ebay,but I never seem to get the over the top price

Went out for a bash with eddystone AKA rich and Rob AKA Rob,and run 3 clods,dark impact,keen hawk,tb01 rally.astute,super boomer,super dooper shot,350 hi lift,staduim thunder,ezilla,wild dagger I think that was it . And the best of it was none of them came back broken result.

Always have said and still say the same as theshopkeeper its easy money for Tamiya. I'm not against Re Re's as I do own 5 and have just brought the new Hotshot,its just that with them keep bring them out why try to find a nice Wild One and pay silly money for it and have Tamiya bring out a re re Wild One and pay half of what I paid for the original.

Just wondered if anyone else feels the same about Re Re's,although I like some of the re's I do think its deaden my enthusiasm for buying old cars and doing them up,cos now we are not sure if in a couple of months time tamiya will re re the model i've just spent time and money doing up.I don't buy cars up for an investment cos I don't belive any car is an investment, might as well stick the money in high intrest account,I do it cos I like the idea of having an old car as near as damm it NIB and knowing I souced all the parts and made it look as good as it did the day it was release. But now foget it, waste of time I buy just to run now.

Anyone want to buy my Bearhawk please,a mere 55.00 as per trades all there 99% all brand new parts,it might even be 100% brand new parts just put that just in case I fitted some bit that was not quite new,pinion gear has been fitted just in case you have read my trade section b4 and decided not to buy cos there was no pinion . cheers nige

Ar well funny you should say that about the Falcon bumber cos yep I've fitted that to one of my boomers,again you have to drill and screw into the chassis and also make three new holes in the bumper the four original holes in the bumper are not used.I think there's a pic in my show room(super boomer)

I think it will be,as per coffee pot cars Boomerang and Astute

Don't bother about what might break just run it until it does ,I love all the hotshot type range and run them all and I don't get that many breaks,the only thing I would say is what has been said b4 is the bumper will break on a boomer,what I did is screwed it to the centre of the chassis with two self tapping screws as well as the two screws on the outside.So far its not broke

I brought these Thunder shot lunchbox hornet frog and will buy the Hotshot All brought as runners,I also think these are too expensive as I've said before theres got to be little effort to get these out so why the high price,I would rather they bring out new models than all these Re re's.

How can such a rare car as a Lotus Essex sale on ebay for a daft price of 53.00 ,the chassis was complete with the radio gear,I know the body had some repair but we are talking about a LOTUS ESSEX super rare no super super rare.Did any of you guys see it and have any reason why it only went for 53.00.The only good thing is the dude who brought the car only lives down the road so no wrapping and when he collects he gives me cash .

Cheers mate I figured that is were it would go,but in the instructions it shows a small port to pour it in,must have changed there minds in production or something. cheers again.
