I did see this absolute bargain ad. in Number 26, though....

Soooooo happy things have changed! Only $3.75 for a Tamiya 1150..... at that cost, it takes $90 to ballrace a TL01!!!!

Ad is 1993, that's about the going rate for BBs. TL01 is much later

1988 was paying $7.95-9.99ea for loose 1150s from HobbyPlace.

1990 they were $4.95 at VHC... used to buy 2 every other week on Friday after school before hopping onto train at Flinders.

Come TL01 in the late 90s... Metro had loose 1150s for $3.50... and I did buy a bunch then, because somebody had mixed in pretty blue Tamiya rubbershields amongst the generics so I patiently fished out about 60-70pcs. They sold a TL01 bearing set for ~$75.

Howdy Guys,

I picked up another mag for my collection, paid a bit much for it as it was bundled in with some Tamiya guide books. Just need number 26 and I'm done

I was wondering who got those.... you're doing better than me now!

Using your picture.....



The red circle is the ones I'm missing (33 - 36, 47), and the green is the ones I have spare.

Could one of you guys that has all these mags please have a look for the issue with the Traxxas TRX3 in it (blue and yellow body).

That was my car and I'd really like that article scanned so I could read it again. All my mags got thrown out when I left home 20 years ago.

Thanks.

Hey mate, I will take a look tonight, and if I have the issue, I will scan it up. That is, if someone else doesn't beat me to it

I can't thank you enough. Just seeing it takes me straight back to that day. The car won concourse at that event. Tony Gray painted the body. Thanks again.

some one needs to send me their collection so i can scan it and never return it Muhahaha

Well, that's me out, I don't have the complete collection

[lukejenner]

Is there any interest in setting up a dropbox or google drive account with scans of the old D&T magazines?

According to the National Library of Australia the Copyright status is 'unknown'. We could always pull it down if the copyright owner comes forward and objects.
