Here's a good one if you want to stick with your tamiya:

already joined up to that have fitted the shocks, motor, ESC, red anodised wheel hex things. still waiting for the battery + charger i ordered. have just ordered some anodised bits (sus arms, c-hubs?) i dont have a clue, just getting bits that look nice, this is just for fun

got a cheap acoms techniplus transmitter/receiver on the bay, so just waiting for that batt/charger now. decided on a focus shell so thats next i didnt mean to get this far 'into' this

escort cossie shells dont seem too plentiful? seen a few but either smashed to bits or waaaayy too expensive :shock:

"commit some terrible RC car faux pas first "

tut tut tut , cant believe hes got his springs that way around :roll:

im both surprised and not at the same time that the escort shells are a rareity , there were fooking loads of them , but i bet 90% of them saw some kerbs in their time

:? Strange coincidence that many of the cyclists i come across also like RC,is there something that connects bikes and RC :?

I have a stock Tamiya TT-01 chassis with Mercedes-Benz 190E EVO II body. The guy who was selling it in a RC shop was a little confused that I asked more quetions about the body rather than about chassis...
(I collect all models of Mercedes-Benz 190E W201).
Anyway, I have already found out that there are a lot of blue ano parts for it. Since I found the shop with them, I do not enter their page :? being afraid of addiction to tuning

and hope you all know... another hobby...

I've posted these before, but if you want to talk expensive to run......

Here are a couple of my babies.

People have gone mad for vintage Tamiya stuff :roll: . It makes retro bikes look cheap in comparison.

I had a Tamiya Frog (I think it was called) wayyyyyy back in the mid 80's. Might still be in the loft at my parents house........*rubs chin*
