wow thats nice what size scale is it?

[YoungUn]

1:8 scale on a 1:10 chassis, the wheels look drowned by it so i pictured it without

[The Matt]

Cool, used to be well into the RC stuff meself.

It's a start Youngun!

[YoungUn]

did quite a few mods to chassis.... it is a start because i wasnt allowed to get a big one 'till now

[The Matt]

:grin: What's your budget for a mini? This is the best place to find one!

[TimS]

mini mad me... what did u used to race, i used to run 1/10th scale electrics Scale saloon, but i was more into buggies. Made junior nationals for a couple of years and F3s in national series

[The Matt]

I used to just do local stuff, with mates more than anything. I started off on early Tamiyas (had a Grasshopper and a Lunchbox) then I had a Schumacer Cougar, then a Top Cat. But I was more into my planes, one of my dads mates used to make them, get bored, then give them to me.

Those halcyon days! Wish I'd kept all the stuff, but alas I sold it for a quick buck when one of my friends introduced me to a thing called beer!

[TimS]

lol cool, iv still got a cougar at home sumwhere, got it to have a little dablle in 2 WD, i also started off with a tamiya too

[The Matt]

I reckon the cougar was the best one I had!

:grin:

smiles for miles, til the battery ran out.

One of me mates has a nitro Scooby Impreza, loaded with carbon fibre bits, it's phenomenal!

I got the Grasshopper as a gift, because I smashed the end of my thumb off at school so Dad took me to an RC shop in Kidderminster and bought it for me to cheer me up. I played on it a bit and got a BMX out of the deal too. Hee hee, bleed em dry for sympathy!

[TimS]

ha ha thats lucky! yeh i used to have a cat 2000 with full carbon fibre chasis. but afetr a while and only beign 14 i had to give it up due to bleeding my parents dry of cash, i managed to get £350 of batteries alone
