I'm into Nitro 4x4 cars.....and boats.......and planes.......

Hey does anyone know where I can get hold of a 75 series Troopy Model ?
Would prefer it ready built as I don't get much time with all the other hobbieshttp://img452.imageshack.us/img452/2728/wwwmyemoticonscomgigglerw0.gif

PM bushtuckerned, he loves is model cars and i reckon he would have a LUXs so he might be able to tell you where he got it.

[BushTuckerNed]

yeh i got a few. ive stopped getting them now tho

but im tempted to get the model hilux they have on ebay :D


i got a rangie when i was about 8 or 10, ive put coils into it, roll cage, sliders lol. its still in the cabinet :p

[Grimsey]

A rangie pffft, it would fall apart just driving over a single sheet of A4 paper lol

[BushTuckerNed]

well it cant drive, it has no control arms

so if u were to push it, the axles would just go backwards

[Grimsey]

what ever happened to the modified little electric rock clwers you had? duck and tom broke theres

[BushTuckerNed]

well i chopped the guards and got it flexing a bit :p
