Very vintage! Nice Al!

Thanks guys.
I’m not too bothered by new Tamiya, I think I’m one of those people who has returned to hobby at the same time period the teenage me left it.

Yep after ta03, it is less fun

Definitely finding myself wanting the older stuff for sure.....

Cheers Flo, I don’t even know what a TA03 is, so it shows we’re I’m at.
I’d certainly like to know a bit more about some of Tamiya’s more recent stuff. Just to further my own interest and knowledge.
I do have a NIB Lancia 037, which I got because it looks stunning.
I think this is on a TA02S chassis. So it will be an interesting build when I get to it.
I’d probably say my interest is within the first 50.
One thing on my to do list is a Street Scorcher, so I’ll need a modern chassis for it.

Cheers guys.

For a street scorcher the dt02 should be nice. With tr15t style wheeles.
The ta02 is one of my favorite chassis. Easy and fun to build. And the 037 body is awesome.

Cheers Flo.
I’ll start doing some research.

I had this vague recollection of a dream of buying a nice, bargain priced M-03 chassis with an unused Mini body, and a nice, bargain priced Monster Beetle rolling chassis ...

Proving that you shouldn't browse eBay with a high fever and little or no sleep, this slightly tired, incomplete and slightly broken Blackfoot chassis turned up:



I'm not too unhappy about it, but I don't really have a use for it - or a body to put on it - worst case is I put it back on ebay & get most of what I paid for it back again

never use ebay too late or drunked or with fever.

I know the feeling Johnny, I have done it a couple times. A few of my buys have gone right back onto Ebay, you might break even or better. LOL

Just looked up the Street Scorcher Flo, very cool concept!
