Slightly off topic, but here's one that's ripe for JR's De-solve It treatment

I'll suggest it's not what it says it is - bet it's a frog/brat that's been painted - front end's wrong & rear wheel size suggests it's not a 'foot gearbox. There's something similar in the "spares repair" section, but without the red paint

This one's definitely not a 58154. It's been put together with an XB shell. BIN price is quite a stretch too :



I like mine better anyway!

There is currently a nib hotshot 2 body and wing on ebay for a $200 starting price i think hes either talking the p*** or thnks it will sell there also another one on there for 40 euro bidding i might bid on that one

I'd say it was a hybrid with Monster Beetle (red) chassis and frog/brat suspension. The body mounts are from a Brat.
I was more concerned with the disgusting colour scheme!

Pleasure moment please!!!
Yesterday I bought an accessory for my Unimog CR01. It was a cutted auction. The guy lives just near my city. When I saw his auctions I decided to buy the lot. So Now I have a quasi complet kyosho ultima outlaw with original body, a very nice heavy duty metalic gallery and a new friend who will connect him on tamiyabase. The best is that this man has same friends than me. We have the same rc dealer since 1982. The world is very very very small

Small RC world indeed...

Si06 - "Ebay, some people don't have a clue" - get this then! - (I know I whinged about it on another topic, just thought I'd repeat myself in the proper place)

Missed a good Quattro deal cos I was distracted by trying to explain to some numpty that "Collection in person only" on a 38kg vice DOESN'T mean you can blindly send me a Paypal payment for it with a note saying "Please put it in a box, I'm sending a carrier to collect", especially when there had been NO prior contact! Better still, after explaining to him that I'd send it (To Londonderry) if he really wanted me to, as long as he'd pay for the wooden crate & my time to make it (Which may or may not escalate into needing to be pallet-mounted for 38kg-related health & safety reasons), he turned around & said "Why a wooden crate, can't you just put it in a cardboard box with a bit of wood in the bottom?".
Absolutely gobsmacked....

On a better note though, despite hating the wheels off them, I just scored a pair of whizzy-shots for 18gbp+p+p, one's got the doorstop wedge body (Whatever skanky version that is). Sort of hoping there'll be enough good bits there to build a decent runner for my nephew
