The biggest gem in my collection
Challenger-RT

I would build it for sure. I couldn't just leave it in the box. My big question would be to run or not.... actually, no question - I would. Probably just indoors or in the dry, but I would have to see how it went etc....

A winter holiday
hot rod

Have you ordered the A parts yet? If not, I have a pack on the way but I just want the driver / interior & a can (for my CC-01) - you can have the roof, roof lights and a can if you want.

Re-released hornet

Thanks - the basher body is more glue and Shoe Goo than body!

It's my most used car, by far!

Hornet (update) sold
Dirt-540

Looks really good and finishes the Hornet off nicely. As you say, it's more Bans style.....

The 1:1 (non-Abarth) has plenty of body-roll too, so sounds like it runs realisticly..

Tomy choroq micro buggies

You're certainly right about the suspension - not usually a Hornet's strong point! They are about £15 each. Got mine from Argos...

howitzer71 - our track was pretty quick and smooth, which suited the car. The opposition in the 80s wasn't that advanced a lot of the time, but speed cures many problems!

Holiday buggy number 2
OrangeSport

Yes, your vintage HB is fantastic. These 2010 versions look much better in the flesh - they don't seem to photo well. I am sure they would look better with the original wheels though. Good fun to drive...

The box art is great, and I also like the Alitalia 'Hopper body for my Hornet. I have been considering doing a Martini body too - that could look good..

the-way; cheers, I think it's a great colour scheme, which I chose as I have a thing for Italian cars and bikes.

New build - holiday buggy 2010
OrangeSport

Thanks - yes, they get some mixed comments, but I think they look great and are good fun to run. They have loads of tune-up potential too, and the chassis and suspension both seem pretty tough. The only weak spot seems to be the body. My runner has had some hard knocks, but I am still surprised at quite how damaged the body is (especially as Tamiya says it is strong and durable). Very good value for money, fun buggy..
