TheTurtleshead Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hi Guys, I used to be massively into RC models as a younger lad. However I have not touched these for a couple of years, and it's better that they go to someone who will use them, although I stress they are probably not suited to young kids as they are neither super durable and bendy and will break easily if misused Firstly; Tamiya 1/16th scale sherman tank, comes almost ready to go, you just need a xtal set and a 2ch remote. Battery might not be to clever, last charged over a year ago. This has been built to scale, it has been properly detailed, so it looks like it just came off of a WW2 battlefield! Used once in the garden for about an hour just to get some mud on the treads and then stored. Comes with the control unit that makes the turret go up, down, left and right. 'Fires' from the main gun, i.e. a strobe flashes and the motors make the tank jump. The lights work front and rear, the machine gun tip flashes as if firing. You can buy a speaker that will make the sound of the engine running and the gun firing etc… I might have it somewhere, if I find it ill include it. These are about 350 delivered to your door on ebay as a kit. Im looking for as close to £300 as I can get, for a superbly detailed and almost ready to go model I can post, and whilst I will bubble wrap it up as best I can, it might be better for you to collect, as its delicate in the details. Make an offer!

I partially repaired it, comes with all the bits to finish repairing it. Also comes with lipo battery and charger, gyro unit, and speed controller. looking for £80-100, make an offer. Finally; Tamiya Hi-Lift. Comes with a working 3 speed gearbox that you shift on the remote. 4wd. This one had been extensively modified. I built it to resemble an icelandic truck/the top gear polar truck. The body has wide-arches and the chassis had been modified for ground clearance and articulation, I had intended to rock crawl it/ use it for scale off roaring events. the tranny has been moved up so its a bit higher than stock, and the rear end is 4 linked. comes with custom shocks. The spot lamps were turned up on a CNC lathe and are aluminium. The front bull bar is custom made from copper brake piping. This truck is unique and goes anywhere Hardly used, just shook down in the garden since it was painted in ford radiant red These are around 350-400 new. this one comes with an LRP speed controller that was 35 quid new, a battery, a high torque servo for steering and a standard servo for shifting the gearbox. Looking for as close to £300 as I can get, make an offer Cheers for looking, drop me a PM if you are interested in any of these I will put them on ebay at the weekend, and post links here if they're not sold, would be nice if they went to club members!
