I appear to have bought a copy of "Economics for Dummies"
(seemed like a good idea at the time  )
And a packet of 12 boxes of nag champa incense.
I know, I know.
I just ... needed it.

I bought a brand new bicycle for my father. It's the PELLS Crono Pro, with Shimano Alivio group set (3x9), hydraulic brakes, 700c wheels,... just 13,2 Kg. He seems happy with it.

I used to be a Tamiya fan boy until I discovered how bad the value really is.
For what you paid for that, you will get something that totally outperforms it from the likes of WL Toys. |

That's not what Tamiya is about though. It's about the build more than the performance of the RC model at the end of it. I've got an Associated SC10 that cost a little bit more than this, it was ready to run, it has brushless power and it blows away everything else I've ever driven at 1/10 scale, even as a 2WD short course truck vs other more specialised models But it doesn't interest me in the way the Tamiya kits do.
Sure I could buy some WL Toys crap, and I only know they are OK from reviews but I don't want a spaceship to bash on a skate park, I want a model kit to build and maybe run around the garden occasionally. The performance of a WLToys 124019 is great, you can get the odd part if it breaks, but I don't like the look or the way it's put together. The gearboxes are variable in quality and by the time I order it from BangGood and have to pay import tax they aren't that much cheaper than a lot of Tamiya kits.
I mean... If you really want quality you'd pay for Kyosho. If you want to race you'd go Associated or Schumacher. If you want to bash you'd go Traxxas or WLToys... I want something that could exist as a real vehicle, something that does hold memories from childhood, and something I can enjoy building. That's why I got the Wild One.
Notice I didn't pay the £100 premium for the Blockhead wild one, which is basically identical apart from some silver parts and different decals...

An antique fid. I have a modern steel set for making ropes but I wanted a big wooden one for making high impact rope work, fenders and fists for largish boats. Modern decent wood ones are stupid money because all the work that has to go into one preparing the surface or it damages and grips the rope. One of the cases where cheap really isn't cheerful.
For those who haven't got a clue what I am talking about, this is a fid.

I must dig out my Monster truck and Stadium Blitzer. I've got a Frog or Grass Hopper somewhere too. Something special about old electric cars.

If you were making one you'd probably want to go with something really hard like lignum vitae or say, mesquite.  It's no wonder they go with steel these days. |
