So I was inspired by the Goodwill store story to checkout the closest used goods store to me. Found this gem at toys section for $10.

It's a 1/24 Yonezawa Datsun Kingcab in perfect condition. Zero scratches. I have never seen one before. All the ebay stuff are 1/10th scale. Dated 1984. Notice it has a cleanly soldered control board unlike most of the toys we see today. Has two motors but I think the front one does the steering not driving. I'm one 9v battery short it to check it out in action. It uses a 9V and 2 AAs to power the car which is a strange setup.

LOL - secretsg = high roller..

I won't be getting any Lambo like ever......

secretsg

Lol nah, it will be a few years yet before I can get one of those. Never say never my friend. If there is a will you'll get there somehow.

Lunchboxer

LOL, it is not about whether you can afford it or not, but rather, whether it makes sense to spend that kind of money on a car!! ha!!

[]TEX[]

Checked my account at Tower just now, says the Pajero is being picked and packed. I don't remember it saying that before.

Someone check their account status.

ORDER STATUS
ORDER NOW BEING PICKED AND PACKED IN WAREHOUSE/ORDER CAN NOT BE CANCELED

TEX gets special treatment!! [:@]

Mine says "Early Apr" LOL!! No 'Jero for me!!

(and I pre-ordered this on 3/3!)

[]TEX[]

Probably a mistake......they have been messing with my account to fix the errors.

Lunchboxer

Nah, it is very possible that they filled your order w/ the first shipment..

Like those 3-axle trailer.. they got a few a week or so ago.. and now it is back to early April...

[]TEX[]

Wishful thinking, I will be patient...

secretsg

Oh it makes absolute no sense. From financial or performance point of view. (A cheaper 911 GT2/3 can run rings around it.) But I want it regardless.

Says early Apr for me as well. I ordered 3/1. I think Towers is trying to make up to TEX. Or else he gets the in state treatment.

Lunchboxer

Yeah, just seems like a lot of money for a car when you can buy a small house w/ that.. LOL!

No new car for me.. 193k miles Toyota soldiers on! I have a feeling that this one is going for 1/4 million miles at least!! ha!!

Lunchboxer

Yeah, you didn't see that?! They are making a bunch of semi and Hi-Lift RTRs!!

I wonder who would buy that... consider most people who buy those are pretty hardcore RC people.. and they'd prefer to build it up, I'd guess...

But it is all good!!

[]TEX[]

It would be interesting to see the skill of the Tamiya builders.

secretsg

Yea TEX. People don't want to build these days. Watch pretty soon nitros will come pre broken in. [:'(]

Lunchboxer

LOL!
