If something is bust, or of no further use, lob it...don't hoard it.

True. Ive had a look in there (several years ago though) and it looked like a good place for that type of thing. My b.i.l. used to buy his r.c. helicopters from there.

I have the grasshopper  :y
I had a Hornet at one point. Light and fast, but hopeless off road ;D.

I had a Rough Rider before that, a proper model, but too heavy to be viable.

Replaced the Hornet with a Hotshot, which was the first I used competitively.

There's hardly anything in mine. A couple of black bags that I can reach without actually going through the hole.


My Dad has been hoarding all sorts of stuff for the last 50 years. There's so much stuff in our loft, that if we ever move I'd be tempted to remove the hatch, and plaster over the hole!

I have two 1/5 petrol not good ones though smartech big foot 28/29 cc and an XRC 26cc BUGGY old and obsolete (chinese copy of an FG buggy )
FG are popular look on the bay usually loads on there
My mate here is in to these big style he has FG mainly but is always swapping them about his latest toy was a Lossi truck off road and very fast and pretty unbreakable to be honest have a look on you tube for videos , but you will need £1000+ for one like this  :y
