Cheers Mate, We used to race them at one time until my back got to bad for it but still got one left, in case the urge ever returns.

She's doing alright, thanks for asking.

Had an initial setback with infection getting to back of eye but they are on top of it and keeping it closely monitored. They managed to get all but two pieces of shrapnel out which were just in to deep. Just waiting on cornea to recover before knowing they will know how effective the ops been but hoping to be plus 80% in worse eye and plus 90% in the other.

Sorry to drag this back up, but I was round an old girlfriend's place at the weekend (with other people, it was a party), went into a cupboard and found........

1 Toyota Hilux Monster Racer
1 Bullhead
1 Skyline
3 Transmitters
1 Quick Charger
2 Trickle Chargers
4 Batteries

Woohoo!

The only problem is that the Monster Racer, which I'd like to keep, is pretty ragged and will need a new bodyshell at least. Any ideas on where I can get one? There's one on ebay but it's in Hong Kong and £100.

Rod, if you're interested in the Bullhead for the axles as a crawler, let me know. Equally, if anyone wants the skyline, I might be talked into getting rid of it. Pretty sure it's this one, although it doesn't look anything like as good:

Any ideas on the monster racer shell?

Find me one for a decent price and I might be able to put the skyline your way. I need to check it's actually there. I thought I could see it, but I had had a couple of drinks.....
