TOPIC:

Hello, my name is Chris, an I am located in Germany.

During the last months, I browsed the database quite frequenty and it helped a lot, so I finally decided to register.
My main interests are:
- restoring and running vintage cars from them 90ies (e.g. ProMarkt Mercedes, Alfa 155 and Opel Calibra)
- building modern kits that refer to classic racecars (e.g. Würth Capri, Jägermeister Capri and Rodenstock Celica)
- modern F1 kits that refer to 70ies cars (e.g. re-releases of Wolf WR1 and Lotus 79)
- XB cars and factory finished bodies in general, because cutting and painting bodies are not my favourite jobs

Moreover, I am collecting slotcars since I was a child, together with my dad who passed away some years ago. Right now, the collection consists of ~200 vintage slotcars and ~700 modern slotcars.

Back to RC, I am one of the few users that still prefer a classic stick radio, therefore I am using a Futaba T4GRS.

Welcome on board Chris,
You are a fan of the TA02 too (alfa, calibra, etc) . Here we love picts of your creations...

Welcome Chris, I to am a fan of the Stick controller although all my 2.4ghz radio are pistol, For any of my vintage runners I have collected Sanwa Sabre handsets for them

Here is a pic of the last bulk buy I did

Nice stash

Sorry, hi Chris willkommen.

I prefer the stick controller too. Ooooohhhhhhh some dash saber. I have a lot of them. It was the cheapest with the. Best quality. It costed 300 frcs (45€) with a futuristic design. but inverted polarity on the rx and servos. The black version was standardised

Unfortunately, I have no own TA-02-based creations so far.
I have some unbuilt kits and some nicely built models (boxart) that I bought second-hand.

But I have an unusual Celica... got the body at eBay, already cut and painted orange, but without stickers.
Added a mixture of original Celica stickers (windows, headlights, etc.) and Capri Jägermeister stickers to create a Jägermeister Celica.
Chassis is stock TT-02.

And nice to hear, that I am not the only fan of stick radios
