the escort cosworth shell is a must isnt it :LOL:

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: :LOL: :LOL:

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

anyone know how to set an rc car up to do that ? im guessing its a lot of castor like real cars but i cant work out what else apart from tyres of course

:? 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. :D :cool:

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*
