is it a good idea for me to buy this thread.

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

£5 for all three, two of them have petrol engines in,
no question it was a good idea to buy these!
easy to see why people get addicted to hording
OMG, the one on the left, I had one of those when I was a kid. I think it was Ripmax or something. An RAF crash tender, 36" long.

All dads will associate with this.

My dad asked me on the run up to Christmas. "Do you fancy a radio controlled boat for Christmas. Have a look at these.........." :hahaha:

So I got the kit, he built it (admittedly I wouldn't have been to as I was about 11 and it was all wood. Lots of work also. He wouldn't put a petrol engine in it though, just slow electric. :cry:
Thats amazing! My dad used to have one of these! with the petrol engine! Used to love taking it out on a nearby pond when I was a kid! Fortunately I didn't have to build it!
