Cheers Monty, at least I've still got all my own hair and teeth, unlike some I could (but won't) mention on here :joker:

As to old cars I got a new one today 1987 Tamiya so 10 is a youngster :D

Marc.. RC Addict! - June 20, 2007 11:57 PM (GMT)
wow nice car tim :clap: ,, yup i guess your right mate, this car ive got is still a youngster then,lol..

i just wish when i was a kid i keeped my old rc cars. i had an old collectable 1/12 merc once i cant rember the brand name, it was as slow as sh*t but it was such a nice looking car with full function working light and indicaters, it was my old mans and he gave it to me, i was about 10 years old lol so i was still learning to drive.
one day i took it to school and i thought it would be a good idea to try and drive it down a big hill to make it go faster, so i tried all was going well untill the school bus ran over my car and killed it..LOL my old man had the car 15 years, i had it 3 days and i killed it,lol i was well gutted..lol

Ill post some pictures of this youngster anyway so you guys can see it, i may also do some upgrades on it, :clap: ill give my old man a surprise.

HAPPY BASHING GUYS.

LOL dam tim youve got some cars mate. :clap:
does your raider work by the way?

man all i can say is :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up: your a lucky man to have all them oh yeh plus all the other trucks and cars you have..
if i had the cash i would glady have that many aswell, but i think my wife would kill me..
youve have some well nice cars there m8 :clap:

purpletimbo - June 21, 2007 12:54 AM (GMT)
The electric raider came this morning, not run it yet as the stick pack has the tamiya connectors reversed, male on battery, and it's dead, hardly surprising, he put the truck together then ran it twice and it got boxed up in the loft for years.
Tried powering it from charger and handset receiver and servos and MSC work, but I'll have to rewire truck for standard stick packs.
The nitro one is new build near enough plus free spare chassis new as well.

Marc.. RC Addict! - June 21, 2007 12:58 AM (GMT)
im sure your get the raider going east m8:) i still cant get over how many you have mate,, you have have my name,lol

Marc.. RC Addict! - June 21, 2007 01:11 AM (GMT)
here tim, you know im still looking for a body shell to buy when i get my cash,, ill ask you couse youve got sh*t loads of stuff,lol have you got a truck body shell for a t maxx that is painted but, with the back where the engine and that sits is un-painted? if not how easy is it to take the pait off m8?

12th demon - June 21, 2007 10:51 AM (GMT)
two peas in a pod :jump:

purpletimbo - June 21, 2007 12:05 PM (GMT)
i don't know with the emaxx ones as they come prepainted, normal paint falls off when you don't want it to!
maybe paint the outside at the back over the top to acheive what you want, or start from scratch with an unpainted one. :thumbs_up:

Marc.. RC Addict! - June 21, 2007 02:42 PM (GMT)
thanks tim :thumbs_up: yeh m8 i may have to if i can find one i want, but id rather just buy your black or silver shell if you still have them when ive got the cash, id rather do that then buy a unpainted one, unless i could get one very cheap because i would need to buy rc spray paint aswell. ive painted a lot of cars in my time but paint that you buy is not the same as the pre-sprayed paint(even proper rc paint),your right it just falls off after a few bashes.lol ive even tried using the paint over coat but it only works for a little bit.

im selling some tuff on ebay on money if not before, would you be able to take a paypal mayment m8?

sorry to keep buggin you about the shells tim,lol :thumbs_up:

purpletimbo - June 21, 2007 03:40 PM (GMT)
Yep I do paypal, not a problem, and no hurry, they aint't going nowhere unless one sells at bash which one do you like again?
