Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
One of these:
to house one of these (the workbench not the bloke):
to store my Ninja Woodfire, pizza oven and gas Weber grill and set it up as an outdoor kitchen, should be plenty of space for the gas bottle(s) and other garden clutter, but the key consideration is being able to cook within it / close by.

Grown up toy if it's anything like the RC Toyota that popped up on Instagram yesterday. Dunno how many ££s it was but the mechanisms underneath (diffs, props etc etc) looked pretty impressive.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
Check out this badboy... might be the same underpinnings as what you saw as they do Toyotas too. Incredible attention to detail – it's not an awful lot simpler than a real one, and they thoughtfully provide various parts so you can configure it to match your real one.Count Steer wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2023 10:42 amGrown up toy if it's anything like the RC Toyota that popped up on Instagram yesterday.

I want one real bad! Though they're the best part of 700 quid... and you need to add your own RC stuff, motor, batter, servo...

See the one I linked to above - I love Tamiyas, but these are a million miles away.Potter wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2023 12:45 pmMy Tamiya Hornet had all that in the 80's, I keep meaning to buy another kit and build it just for nostalgia, but I think I'd put it away ten minutes after building it and then never get it out again.Count Steer wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2023 10:42 amGrown up toy if it's anything like the RC Toyota that popped up on Instagram yesterday.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
That looks likely. It's not just detail for detail's sake on those transmissions, as you say, it all appears to work like the real thing.Slenver wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2023 12:58 pmCheck out this badboy... might be the same underpinnings as what you saw as they do Toyotas too.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
I'd love one, but cost aside, it would take me months to build I think. There are thousands of parts and the instruction manuals are like the bible.Count Steer wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2023 1:08 pm That looks likely.

Also, annoyingly, they do a truck cab option or an open top, but not one like mine which is an ex-army 109, so 2-door with a canvas top. There's a thriving facebook community though, and I did a guy who'd fabbed his own aluminium hoops and canvas!

I sometimes think the same thing. I had a Hornet. Also acquired a Dakar 959 and the huge monster truck pick up thing at one point.Potter wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2023 12:45 pmMy Tamiya Hornet had all that in the 80's, I keep meaning to buy another kit and build it just for nostalgia, but I think I'd put it away ten minutes after building it and then never get it out again.Count Steer wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2023 10:42 amGrown up toy if it's anything like the RC Toyota that popped up on Instagram yesterday.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
Tamiya Hilux kits are maybe £5-600? I thought they were cool but this thing you've linked to is light years ahead.
Bargain!

Yeah, it's pretty crazy.
