Old cars
Just been sorting through some rubbish in the house as we make way for the twins, and found some old photos (the old type, not digital) of my old buggies.
http://www.telsshells.com/dogfighter.jpg The old dogfighter...wish I still had it. Infact, i'm bidding on one now, it brought back such a good memory. http://www.telsshells.com/mantaray.jpg My beloved manta ray. Was my first RC racer, had it for about 3 years and it ended up being almost factory team spec when I'd done with it.:thumbsup: http://www.telsshells.com/couger.jpg ..and the cougar, was as keen on this one but it was fun and realy strong. |
nice!
forgot how good looking the manta rays were! |

Yeah, I had it with the original shell and the Egress shell, as well as the top force one pictured.
Id get another one tomorrow but would never get it to the spec I had that one, so it wouldn't be the same. I think the dog was the works 95 one. I bought in not long after Masami won the worlds at basildon with one in '93. The dogfighter was awesome though and that was just a standard car so can I replicate the old memory of that by buying one. :) |
vintage masami worlds
ooh. Speaking of vintage Masami.
I had something to fondle for a few days whilst doing the RRCi review of the CAT SX....... http://www.telsshells.com/masami.jpg You will see more of it in the 300th RRCi issue. :) |
jammy sod! still one of the best looking cars of all time.

Wicked ! i love old rc cars! the cougar reminds me of summer days at school, my mates all had Boss Cat's and cougar 2000's.
I was the odd one out with a Tamiya williams FW14 F1, funny enough iv'e still got it! I've got a few vintage cars in my collection but not much in the way of buggys other than my brand new, unused Avante 2001.......:thumbsup: |

did you ever race at the club in Deal? or one of the other local ones? |
Yeah i raced a predator at Northbourne village hall from september to december 2007 before it closed down. Before that ive never raced before.
I now race at faversham:thumbsup: |
ah, no, i used to race at the Astor back when boss cats were around. Moved away before they moved out to northbourne.
i never went much on the faversham hall, although they did have some quick guys over there |
Yeah, i have to say i never even new these clubs existed until last year, never heard of them! i would have started racing years ago if id known. Its loads of fun and EVERYONE seems mega fast compared to me ! lol.:)
Now the racing bug has firmly set in, i would race every day if there were enough clubs to go to! |

So,
Telboy, how do I get my hands on a copy of that magazine? Looks like it could be great reading ! Stu |
Just go and buy 'Radio Race Car international' when it comes out.:D:thumbsup: pretty sure its the next issue, which will be available at the beginning of next month.

Hi, being in canada, you may have to get in touch with Traplet publications and see where in the world its distributed to. Pretty sure they have a US base, but not sure if they run the same content.
I'm sure they'd send a copy over if you request one.:D It will be in the 300th issue which will be out next month I think..or the month after.:thumbsup: |
Stu I can sort you out with a copy of RRCi.
