c cars in the schumacher btcc, but along the way I got collected up a load of what I call radio controlled curse word (see below) I was just wondering if anyone else on the site has a loft full of similar tat?  Ok so thats not mine, I converted mine to take bigger batteries which resulted in blowing both back tyres off down the main straight at west london during testing.  I've got 3 of these bastards somewhere and I can't find them! Grr!  One of only a handful in the country, a Trinity Streetspec.  A tamiya mini, well bedded in. I used to have a rarer fiat abarth, I regret selling that. I've found about 30 odd shells too, I'd forgotten how much curse word I'd accumulated. Is it just me? |

I used to have a Tamiya Bigwig  Great fun it was but parts were a real pain to come by. I sold the Techniplus motor to a mate and the car to someone else. I'd quite like another car to rip around the car park of my building sometimes. |

I've got a mardave cobra in the garage somewhere, although it needs a new gearbox, it's span a few bearings due to me putting the most powerful motor I could find in, then making my own speed controller (a bit of wire on a servo, that touches against a brass screw, binary throttle)
I keep meaning to dig it out and try and fix it, but the batteries will all be shafted by now, and I've no decent charger.

Back in the day I had (in order) a Tamiya Hornet, Kyosho Optima, Mardave Ministock with 7.2V battery, Kyosho Corvette ZR1, another Ministock with the ZR1 Engine, Tamiya Grasshopper with hot motor, ESC and Beetle body (this was great  ), another 7.2V Ministock with hot motor and ESC, stretched Ministock with an A Team van body. Loved those things. Always intended to make another nitro Ministock but never got round to it. Seth has all my old stuff now including the '41 Willys body. |
