If so, where the hell do you buy them now?
I used to be quite competitive back in the 80s and early 90s. Not really done it much recently, esp since moving here, other than a quick blat around the rugby field.
In the garage were a Schumacher ProCAT, Kyosho Optima, Kyosho Optima Mid electrics, and a Kyosho Burns and Kyosho R200 petrols. Oh, and the glider.

There's hardly anything in mine. A couple of black bags that I can reach without actually going through the hole.

If something is bust, or of no further use, lob it...don't hoard it.

True. Ive had a look in there (several years ago though) and it looked like a good place for that type of thing. My b.i.l. used to buy his r.c. helicopters from there.

I have the grasshopper :y
I had a Hornet at one point. Light and fast, but hopeless off road ;D.
I had a Rough Rider before that, a proper model, but too heavy to be viable.
Replaced the Hornet with a Hotshot, which was the first I used competitively.

Thanks for the links. :y
Anyone here into it, and know what would be competitive cars now?

My Dad has been hoarding all sorts of stuff for the last 50 years. There's so much stuff in our loft, that if we ever move I'd be tempted to remove the hatch, and plaster over the hole!

Jaime, there's a model shop in Kidlington, anything decent there?
