Unearthed my old rock crawler, a Losi competition crawler, though there isn’t much left of the original machine, upgradeitis being what it is. I used to have a lot of fun with it, went to a few meets and the Nationals one year, though I always used to struggle, me buying a shaft drive just as motor on axles we’re becoming popularfrown Still, had many happy hours messing around with it. I’m going to have to buy some new batteries for it though, my old ones not in the best of health and they’re not the safest things to try and recover.

Cheers Eric, thought some people might be interestedfrown Anyhoo, the title is ‘Bored, off work...’ surely the comma helps it make sense. I fear you’re tilting at windmills, maybe the lockdown is getting to you toothumbup

Looks good mate. Mate had one of these, his was a bit like Trigger's broom too.
I was never into them, but had mates who were and used to spend a fortune on them.

I have been getting out all my old retro consoles, even repaired the RGB output on an old NTSC machine that I have been meaning to do for probably a decade.

Awesome... Funnily enough, I dug my son's out yesterday... Cheap MOA 4WS, with the same tyres and upgraded servos. We had great fun building a course. Blew a servo.... FFS.

Didn't spot the comma - sorry.
