Hello MOD could you delete these 9 useless posts

Hi shadydarkside!

hopefully you've skipped past the above stuff -

welcome to the site, probably one of the best rc web forums ever - enjoy!

check out the showrooms for some more of those golfs, i've seen a few very sweet looking ones on the site - they look like a real nice car.

waiting for the postman takes ages - i recommend passing the time by going back to ebay, and buying some more tamiyas [] 

[techie]

The FF chassis looks pretty neat, I wonder how it compares with the M0-3 etc.

 

I work at a VW dealer so get to see a fair few MK 4 Golfs during the day, an R32 would be very special indeed.

 

[Tamiya Learner]

Welcome back to the mad addictive world of RC and add to the other TC members welcome to the club.

Know what you mean waiting for the postie, as said before take a look in other members showrooms for more Golfs and feelings about them; by the way hope you got a good deal on the bay M8[]

[shadydarkside]

I've bought a couple of these sets now, has been a good service thus far.

*edit They are listed for FF02, yours is FF01, check with seller if they are compatable or if he can do you a set for the FF01.

 

[shadydarkside]

wicked thanks for that ..... ......

[shadydarkside]

does anyone know what chassis my car is ??? (golf v5 58206) i dont even know where to begin .

[techie]

As I said above yours is an FF01 chassis.

If you go intothe model list and then chassis types you can see what other cars share your chassis type by clicking on the tab.
