One thing to rant about is the price of RC nowadays, they are sooooooo expensive

Cheaper than Harleys. Or racing quads. I use to do both

got the hankering to run my 6 gear RC10. but I'm at work and it's at home. and i won't be home for almost 5 more hours. and when i get home and charge a battery it'll be bordering on to dark to run it. which reminds me, there's a time change this weekend that i don't like. in a month it'll be freaking dark by the time i get home.
hmmm... maybe i need a night time beater...

Tamiya should think about doing 1/18 versions of there vintage cars. idk why but a 1/18 Hornet or Lunchbox sounds cool right now...

I would enjoy a Tamiya kit build for over the winter. Not that I WANT one but they were so much fun to build and run!
I'm really not sure what kit I'd pick tho.
Prob would resto one I already have like the 1/10 scale Hornet. That was a BLAST!!!
The 1/18 scale sounds fun as long as the hardware isn't too tiny.

what he needs is a really bright flood light. I got one on the back of the house. lights up the whole yard AND the street/stop sign across the street about like 150 feet away.

Lame... unless it still has the thermos and cup inside!

 

[DavidB1126]

Yep! Has the "sport tuned" sandwhich in there also! And some TRF anodized fruits!

On the flip side with Horizon, Horizon getting their products to their retailers, like AMain, they are soooo slow. My order is pending bc of the ProLine 1/8 buggy tires I ordered is still in stock in supply chain, arriving soon. Hopefully "soon" is sooner than later. Bc if it is later, I might not have 2 new bodies painted and ready to go before I get back to the track. And we all know, no one wants to see a body full of gorilla tape. Lol.

another week later and still pending. Just emailed AMain to see what they say and if they can ship the rest of the items and ship the tires separately when they arrive.
If they say they still haven't received the tires from HH, well you know who will get a nasty email, once again for probably like the 5th time now.

there's a mosquito in the warehouse after me. i think it bit me once already. do to location of the bite its a tiger mosquito. so this is going to be a fun day.

Ok AMain got back to me and they'll ship the rest of my order out. and do the tires separate.

Horizon has failed once again to fulfil a retailers order of tires. They're such a bad looking company, both for other retailers and consumers. sucks.
So, lesson learned, not buy ANY Horizon product unless I have no choice (like for a replacement or spare part)

is that vintage or something? what the hell!

Errr.... Not quite. Mattel made a re-release of the original 16 redlines in spectraflame red and includes a red rally case to display the cars. The reason why it's all red is because it's Mattel's 80th anniversary.

That would give me some serious buyers remorse. Lotta cheddar unless your a die hard collector.
