The lockdown will spawn a whole new bunch of RC enthusiasts and another generation or 2 after that, where the kids have got involved- might even get them away from their games consoles 😳 As you say good for business owners small and large hopefully, clubs, forums and maybe some future development 👍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Butler 338 Posted May 5, 2020 Paint came, so sprayed the red to finish my falcon, then decided to take a picture of my modest, yet fully working fleet. M07 Car park racer. We chuck some carpet tiles down with a few mates for an hour, then go to the pub. B6 Racer. Run on carpet at DMS Watford, and fail to keep up with @CoolHands DT02 Basher. Started as a holiday buggy, to get the yellow wheels, then built it into tribute to my first Tamiya. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoolHands 816 Posted May 5, 2020 Yeah I looked him up on Facebook the 3wheeler group (bruiser etc) he started, and sadly you’re right. He was severely ill and yet from his posts on here you wouldn’t know it at all, his posts were all very upbeat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m looking through about half a dozen options for a new/re-re to build with my son and get back into RC, and I’ve spent the last hour looking through about half the hobby shops on the Internet it feels like, trying to find something in stock for a decent price.

Good luck with that, I like how you say "half a dozen options for A new/rere to build" (my emphasis), a long time member would say "I have half a dozen models in my cart and I'm waiting until I've had enough wine or I can get away with the delivery going unnoticed by the home office". What models are you looking at? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
