Wez-li 1790 Posted July 20, 2021 So after I had a hissy fit and left the hobby, I'm back after all of 5 minutes away. Unfortunately I sold all my cars, apart from the 787b, which was looking kinda lonely so I picked up another 90's Japanese legend to go with it TL01 so nothing too complicated to rebuild.

Badcrumble 4204 Posted July 20, 2021 @Willy iine is there any reason why you purchase Billy instead of Willy? Is it because you scrap the existing Willy head and replace with a fresh Billy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it because you scrap the existing Willy head and replace with a fresh Billy? Actually I have never thrown out a Willy head in my life because I restore them and after so many hours and effort painting them it's like I inject them a part of my soul. I actually cherish each and every Willy (and Billy and Bob) heads I paint. The reason why I have more Willy bodies than heads right now is because I made a few non-driver figures like this.. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ImALlama 1370 Posted July 21, 2021 I’m too lazy to make multiple trips in and out of my house, and my team trinity bag from the 90s is in rough shape so I ordered this to carry my postal racers. Also got a bag to keep my noble nb4 looking new, which isn’t too hard atm since I haven’t used it yet but one day I will 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aerobert 2146 Posted July 21, 2021 The top deck for the Top Force was delivered today from Tonys Tamiya Parts. In fact I had to pick it up from the post office because I had to pay customs and a handling fee. Which was almost the same what I had paid for the top deck including postage. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuggyGuy 1106 Posted July 21, 2021 Last bits needed to start the TA08 build arrived Super excited to have a proper TC again, spent the morning pouring over the BRCA rules so I can get a body ordered, luckily already have a blinky legal ESC / motor to go in. Did find out that none of my Lipos are legal, though I'm sure they will be fine at club level which is where I'll be for a while anyway I think. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony is great. I've ordered quite a bit from him and I'm down in NZ.
