I got a bit carried away @ charity auction last week and dropped 5.3k 😂

There will be no R/C for a while 😭, I will be enjoying everyone’s else’s purchase for the foreseeable 😎

Very nice!   This is such a fun car, even if just to look at it, it is great.  :D 

Enjoy your build!!

Bought this more for the actual pictures rather than to colour it in quite a heavy book and superb quality:wub:

Oooh nice!  I've been eyeing his books for a while now.  Worth the price in person?

I know it's a bit on the expensive side but the quality is absolutely perfect and there is hundreds of different pictures all are really beautiful artwork and top quality paper

A couple of RC firsts for me after numerous years;

Titanium screws and some ceramic Apec-7 race bearings.

Have got a couple of builds to do shortly where I will need the absolute maximum performance from the parts I can get as the margins will be critical to the results.

A 13.5T brushless. Hopefully not enough to melt my Top Force Evo.

 

I'd be worried about all the decals flying off!   ;)   Enjoy your flight.

Speaking of which. I now have a plan for decals on it. Not box art. I will need non-flouro yellow wheels...

A parcel arrived today... I was getting sadder each time one asked on a forum if I'm going to print another Nichimo... I had to do something :-)

Definitely worth the price IMHO. Same as the Artbook 2021...

I think a build will follow shortly. I need a new receiver for my Spektrum radio so I can use the 3 position switch for 1/2/DIG fuction on the Bear. The HB bodyshell is just a play thing to put on the beach buggy so I can run it without trashing the body

 

EDIT: I did a lot of research for this one. I watched loads of vids/builds of this, the Capra, the Gatekeeper and a TRX4. Had to be a kit and able to do quick off-road as well as a bit of crawling. I think I’ve had all 4 in a basket somewhere but went for the GMADE as it seemed to do all I wanted.
 Fusion Hobbies   our wonderful sponsors also are a  stockist 💰 so a good price and excellent service as usual. I have read that the hardware isn’t very logically bagged so I’ve ordered some jewellery boxes and I’m going to spend However long it takes to pre sort them!!!
