Saito2 6686 Posted October 30, 2018 I do frequently whip out my harp and start jamming for the Tamiya twin stars golden calf. I think he likes it (or at least I hope he does). 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I just snorted some of the nightly tea I was drinking when I read that. By the way, notice how the golden calf is staring off, paying no heed to us gathered around it. That calf is going to do (and release or re-release) whatever it pleases with little concern for those praying to it. Hey, sometimes we get a Sand Scorcher and other times, a Fire Dragon. Its the whim of the calf. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I invested in a losi rock Rey back in July and it's all things to a good basher absolutely awesome and when I return from said bashing the life out of it and clean it up I have a big satisfied smile on my face😊 but the biggest smile is when I walk past my display cabinet with my personal tamiya favourites😁 that's Tamiya!!! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnipJF 9192 Posted November 2, 2018 ... capable of surprising performance! I love the feeling of beating £300+ modern high-end F1 cars with my 25-year-old box stock £80 F103! (It isn't that I am an amazing driver or anything - it is simply that the car has aged very well and has remained competitive. However few people realise quite how competitive it is, so don't really pay it much attention until it passes them. ) 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pablo68 1049 Posted November 3, 2018 Actually I may have overstated how many box wrenches I have. Currently I have 5 that are easily accessible. I'm sure I should have a few more than that, just not sure where. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terz1 745 Posted November 4, 2018 Fun and consuming with great memories attached. And now I'm making more . Oh and Fantastic! I tried other rc's in the last couple of years. Some with better performance, higher quality materials, bearings but I never got the same excitement as from a tamiya kit. They are addictive! Like pokemon. Gotta catch 'em all. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
