Alright, I've been curious about the re-re Holiday for a while now, so last night I put mine together. A great buggy of seemingly good quality, well at least what plastic quality offers. The chassi, DT-02, is a bit wide for the body but still fits nicely. I used ballbearings everywhere in place of nylons, and if I like the drive-feeling of it I'll be getting some upgragades for it such as alu-shocks and maybe some cooler wheels. Anybody tried the DT-02? Anything interesting, good or bad stuff, about it I'd be thrilled to hear. Oh! Tamiya has pre-painted the driver's head! The DT-02 |

A friend has a dt02 and he gave me good feedbacks about it.

Sounds reassuring, Sting. Thanks.
Today I went to buy another plane for my shelves. I have expanded my garage to two levels now. I will not be expanding it further! However this is not a promise. Which leads to the question; what are you doing with all those boxes? Should I store them? Cut out the motifes for framing? Or just recycle them? |

you are lucky to have a so big garage buddy. I kept 99% of my boxes with or without the car inside. You can put one inside another if you can like matriochka. I did that for several and I built a wall in my bedroom between militarias stuffs. My shelves are so full that I squatted my bed. Keep your boxes. If you need to sale some of your rc, the price should be better with the box.

I don't know. It's easier to stock boxes

Re-re Holiday Buggy, re-re Hornet, modern radios & 240Z are all so common that not having a box won't change the value by much, or at all. IDK about the stadium truck, that's probably in the same category.
Re-re Fighting Buggy & re-re Sand Scorcher, keeping the boxes might not add much value at present, but is more likely to in the future - but you have to decide whether an added 5 to 10% is worth storing them for 30 years. A cut up or damaged box is worth about the same as no box I'd definitely keep the original Holiday Buggy box intact

Thanks for the input, Jonny. I dont' think I would ever cut out the vintage Holiday Buggy box, however the other boxes I'd like to cut out the artwork, keeping almost 100% of the surface, just make it flat for future framing possibly.

After all the brutal practice with my poor Hornhopper, finally I am a better driver, confident enough to take a few action shots of my Fighter. Let me share with you yesterday's run in the sun.
The track is a piece of land that I recently occupied near my home to create the UT-drome for testing my various vehicles. A mostly flat vista with natural obstacles such as trees and rocks that make it a pretty scale environment upon the hard fine grain soil, where not much else except occasional flowers grow. While on the flowers, I am really trying to stay away. But as I am a rookie still ... With the laps come the grooves, and grooves turn into pits. The track has become a challenging course of loose dirt at the turns with a bumpy exit, and some more bumps on the straights. The layout is a sort of figure eight around two small trees. There's plenty of room for tricking about, here making donuts. (Please excuse my cheap photoshop trick, I only have one Fighter) Digging the Tamiya tires into the loose dirt going into the east turn. Speeding the south straight past the bench. ... and a closeup, for your pleasure. So that's about it! I should add that I'm using all stock stuff in my Fighter, I alternate my two 6s nimh-sticks (2100 & 5000 mah), wheels are the Rough Rider ones as I found their slightly larger diameter handling bumps better. And I use the HPI TF-40 radio with a Tamiya RR front tire stuck around the steeringknob to increase precision, and the TBLE-02s ESC that I've just learned to manage and configure. Heheh... I can tell you, dogs are funny animals! |
