I saw a little video of an RC bike the other day which was cool, but this rider feature is next level. Love it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alvinlwh 5895 Posted January 7, 2022 First time the postman had brought me anything important (but nothing RC related) since 23 December, an order I placed with 1999 during one of their sales, on 9 September last year. Arriving just 2 days shy of 4 months. Opened for (customs I believe) inspection but no "fines". 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it a high quality print? Cheers Yes from ebay. I like them and will buy a few more for my garage. Quality is good, nice matte finish. Thumbs up 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
