After the very warm welcome in the introductions section, I couldn't add any images of my R/C collection on there, so in case anyone is interested, here are most of them!

Most of these are Tamiya with a few Kyosho's as well. I do have a few Nitro cars but I rarely use them!

Very cool!

I've always wanted to get into that hobby, but with my health and the cost that goes along with it makes it impossible.

One hobby I love is DJing for kicks and I can't restart on that at the moment. I need a mixer and the one I want cost $$$$.


Lots of cool cars there for sure! :cool:

That is a serious collection!
Do I see three stock-body Blackfoots in the back row?
I have one of these, unbuilt-IOB sitting on my workbench (not a reissue):




This was the first R/C car I got. Tires leaked like a sieve, but I had some fun with it:

I think I spot an Aston Martin DB6 in there.

I'd like to see a close-up of that R/C tractor you have. :yes:

Welcome! I remember racing back in the 80s, the local hobby shop had a track.
I noticed recently that Tamiya has brought back the classic assemble-yourself kits, I love it!
I had a Hornet back in the day and my neighborhood friends had the Grasshopper, Frog, Optima (with chain drive) and the luxurious RC-10. Those were the days...

Thanks all!

The most used and abused one is this, a CC-01 Pajero with a LR3 Landy shell, working winch and lights off a 4 channel radio

Also, being a HUGE VW fan, I had to get these as well. They are made by a company called Maisto, one of them has a built-in speaker to attach an MP3 player to

Holy moly that’s an entire fleet. Back in the 80’s my brother had a Tamiya Hornet and later a Mad Bull...we had such fun with them, they were awesome

I forgot I had this picture! For Fatdog, a closer shot of the tractor. Its more of a toy grade deal that I bought from a bootsale with a few others for about £5. I don't have the controller but that's easily fixed!

That is really nice! I like the color scheme a lot on that tractor. Can you buy attachments for it?

I honestly can't remember the brand that makes it, but I'd imagine they would do trailers and things like that, though not powered from the tractor.
