If it had "Pellet-Capacity" I'd get one, and have fun with the neighbors cat that keeps digging in my bulbed-flower beds :D

Tamiya R/C kits are very nice.  Not the best for racing, but they are very high quality.

Yeah some of the older stuff wasn't so great for durability.  Although it might have had more to do with my teenage driving style (hair on fire).  :)

I have 3 Tamiyas currently, a matched pair of Honda Civics and a DTM Mercedes, and they all run great despite countless crashes and use of modified motors (we're talking 50 mph +).  :)

Yeah it was all my driving, I have to say.


Was a cool car, what stunk is all the hoby shops that carried parts in my town closed and I didnt have a real car at the time and this was before internet parts ordering.




LoL I think I was like 12 or 13, man it was cool.

Hehe, get a paintball gun as it works great for "pest" control.

One of my dad's buddies in town found a way to keep the neighborhood dogs from barking.  He recorded a dog whistle.  Anytime the dogs would start up, he'd fire up the stereo and put the speakers in the windows.  It wasn't very long before that was one quiet neighborhood.
