Latest Purchase

All ordered from HLJ 2 weeks ago. If anyone wants pictures of the contents please ask, before i get started.
I'll probably use the RP-F1s on the CRX. And i was thinking of doing the WRC cars as raod cars.





Probably the most interesting of the lot.






Compound! I love it!!

Nice! The RP-F1's are great. They would look nice on a CRX

Umm, how do you get an FWD CRX to drift? LOL. Nice stash though, especially the Tyrell. I want the R/C version.

Pull the e-brake.

I received the Tyrrell for Christmas, nice kit. There are some nice detail sets for it also.

It's not drifting, it's rotating around the corner, a controlled oversteer situation, yes, but not "drifting." With a few clever suspension modifications to negate the understeer engineered into these cars by Honda to make them people friendly, these cars are very tail happy and are ready to oblige when you ask them to rotate around a corner.

Tikiman, how large are those TE37:s? Would it be too much to ask to measure the width and diameter for me in millimeters?

I'm looking for a suitable set of 5-nut wheels for a Mitsu Evo 6 Group N conversion and those might look right enough for me if they are the right size for Hasegawa gravel wheels.

Thanks

Usually take your cash mate !!!...........i had to pay 160 kr on monday for a parcel they had "arrested", it was 2 kits, i TS spray & Aoshimas catalog 05. Not much in weight but its the size of the parcel i reckon. I used to order 1 kit at a time because its a small package & they never (customs)touch them. It really is the luck of the draw.

Congrats anyway..............for this time !?!

Mike.
