Found this in the Hobby Lobby store while killing time whilst my wife grabbed some needed stuff. It's a reissue of an older model. I don't remember ever seeing it before but like that the packaging seems to remain as it was originally(minus the affiliate advertising with a candy maker).
I haven't decided whether I like it so much that I don't want to open it or not :)
This is awesome! Mit "ZUPER-DETAIL" 8-)
Haha, no doubt a great way to start learning German :)

I'll take you up on that. ;)
I really like the thread. Great idea. I'm curious about Randy's approach.
I built a "Love Bug" kit almost 40 years ago. I didn't survive the trials of time... :(
But later focused on 1:72 war birds.
Would love to build one again but there are to many other projects in the near future.
Pics of a few of my Bug models/gimmicks will follow soon.
Saw this on the Bronco forum. Wow, it looks like fun!
Data Bug...
Lighter Bug...

ok, for the sake of me not swearing and making death threats. never talk about those widow licking fucktards. i hate traxxas like a neo nazi hates a gay interracial jewish couple. the company sucks shit, the products suck shit, the marketing is lies, and the fanboys are blind loyalist retards
Aaaaaand another thing added to the list of things SR hates, let me find some space on the paper... no, won't fit there.... nope not there.... hmm, I'm gonna have to write on both sides.... no, I've already done that....
I've never owned a decent RC car and have been trolling the RCSparks forums and think I'm going to save my money for this:
A Redcat Everest. I can't swing the cost of those big boy rides but wanted to play with a crawler in the woods out back.
I've got a bit more to save before I can call it my own.

Holy cow, an RC Schwim! That's fantastic!
I've been watching tons of the crawling videos from RCSparks for the last couple of months.
Hey! Speaking of RCSparks, he did an unboxing vid today!
been a subscriber to rcsparks for years now, didn't watch that video though. frankly id rather dry shave my balls with a shard of glass. nothing against medic, but fuck traxxas. i never watch videos that say traxxas in the title. hey he's got a forum to, i post there once in a blue moon. https://www.rcsparks.com/forum/ good stuff on there. its mostly scalers and crawlers. good info and a good group of people over there.
iv been thinking about getting a scaler for a while. probably just get the axial, but iv got my eyes on the hpi. just a lack of info for that one and hpi's still restructuring so... only thing stopping me is i really don't have a place to use one, and iv got 14 other RC's to screw around with and really don't drive those much anymore. i have a tendency to buy, build, set up, and loose interest
Well I'm brand new to the hobby so I'm spending a lot of time reading about stuff and realizing I can't afford it. The one I linked is the 1/10 that I could find that had mostly positive reviews.
The rcsparks forum guys are the ones that suggested it in fact. Good bunch over there for sure.
first time you buy a hobby grade RC you'll crap your pants over cost. infrastructure and support cost is what gets ya. adds up quick.
Spotted at an exhibition in 2015...

That's incredible! I will say thought that I would have wanted to see more of the interior if it were something I had done.
It reminds me of this. It's a toy that a family friend gave me, knowing my love for the car:

Wow! Just learned that these 60s tin toys fetch quite a price on the web... :shock:
A wise decission to (sort of) vacuum pack it. 8-)
Slot car...
my slot cars. iv had these for over 20 years
super gas car
bracket car
Cool slot cars but that scale is huge. Do you have some customer track they run on?
those cars are "womps" they are 1/32 scale cars that are run on a 1/24 scale track. the rest of my cars are standard 1/24 scale. there is only one place to go race them that i know of. http://www.bpraceway.com/
the drag strip is 55 feet long plus shutdown. shutdown has to be another 25 to 30 feet.
here's a crappy video of a friends car (notchback) making a pass. this isn't even considered a fast car, but try not to blink
or if you really want to blow your mind try watching this
...
looks like a scalextric track. i think those are actual 1/32 scale cars (super detailed cars to, they're cool). i hear they're the popular slot car set up in Europe. never seen or heard of a track for them over here state side (outside of a privet track in a garage or something)
im sure we've all run the HO cars (hot wheel size cars) as kids. still have all my old Tyco track and cars. one of the slot car tracks i raced at 20 years ago had an HO track set up for a while but it never really caught on
Nice videos @Super_Randy.
The drag car just disappeared and the cars on the full size race track are practically impossible to even see!
I grew up with only the HO/small hot wheels sized cars.
When I was a small kid I remember my Dad brought us to a place that had a big track like in the video and very large cars, maybe it was an older version of a large track similar to the track and cars in the video.
could be. the 1/24 scale cars were real popular back in the 60's and into 70's
