Re: hobby stores are dangerous....
That's exactly what I did....I bought one when they first came out because I thought it looked like an interesting platform. I found they didn't make large enough bottles of Loctite to keep it from vibrating apart, and the internal gear ratio was WAY too low to race on an oval....But I think it would be a cool looking shelf queen anyway.scr8p wrote:save the tires, throw out the rest.

If ONLY it were closer, but thats also dangerous, that consignment case. I worked there too remember, that's how i scored my New never run RC10 GP. That's how i got bit by the vintage bug.

I did go there then but I was pretty much out of cars by 93 and was there more for LGB trains, I'm sure I still spent some time in the car section though.gomachv wrote:I started there in 93, they hired me for the move from Hall blvd to canyon where they are now. If you were around back then I probably helped you at one point. I was always in the car dept

Re: hobby stores are dangerous....
Decided since there were still bobcat decals left and all the buffalo's were used up, I should switch it up with a team Bluegroove body. It is a tight fit over the roll bar but looks much better than the beat up buffalo that was with it

Re: hobby stores are dangerous....
Farmer, I didn't take the responses that way myself (and didn't notice it on your threads?). Its very hard to get the correct feel on the forums, especially when some posts lack emoticons or punctuation (for example: "I helped my Uncle Jack off his horse" or "i helped my uncle jack off his horse" lmfao). I think all of us enjoy seeing this stuff turn up and get into good hands.
I still share my finds I just don't find as much anymore
please don't stop posting (hell at least pm me!)

As for the posts, I like to see what other members score. It keeps the hope alive that maybe one day I'll find something that's not an overpriced whipped P.O.S.!

Aww, maaaan... I managed to snag a nasty Tamiya Falcon and an even nastier Kyosho Icarus out of that case, but never anything this cool.
Re: hobby stores are dangerous....
That Buffalo...er...Bobcat looks great! I need to snag one of those shells for mine. I've never been to Tammy's but I did snag this in Ellensburg:
