average HQ 2 door Monaro price, in decent condition, and pretty much stock, except for things like wheels, I think are currently around the $14,000 - $18,000 mark? correct me if I'm wrong...

i couldnt care less about a geniune GTS ( i dont even know wha that means lol ) I would just want a 2 door HQ with wicked paint and a 350 dropped in it. There are a fair few from 8-20k matching those specs.

I've always been a massive Mopar fan. Never been too much into the classic Fords and Holdens. Although, there are some impressive examples out there. I've always prefered the 69' Z-28 Camaros and the 65-67' Mustangs. I also like the XU1's because they are kinda unique with the 202, but Toranas are way overdone in my opinion. At every drag meet i've been to, at least 7/10 cars is a Torana. Very rarely do you see a Valiant, or any kind of Mopar at the drags. This is probably the best looking Monaro i've seen. The front setup is from a Brougham (luxury version). The better looking HK/HG front I reckon. Is anyone else on here into Mopars? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I see you have a Traxxas Revo. The others ones a Savage yeah? I was madly into R/C's not long ago. Did you buy them locally or overseas? My old mans got a nice 70' VG Val Coupe. I'll post pics soon.

yes... yes yes yes it is a traxxas revo that is the most indestructable truck i have ever owned, however, the hemi cuda is a CEN Genesis, the biggest truck in production, 42 engine, 3 speed gearbox, and it weighed 8 1/2 killos... but it handled like **** and it broke everything, it was the most unreliable truck i have ever owned! i would not reccomend anyone EVER buy this truck, unless, you are willing to spend $100 every weekend on broken drive shafts, diff gears, steering setrvos etc i bought them from the hobbyman in dandenong, GREAT place i also have a hobao GPX 4 onroad car, HOBAO HYPER 21 buggy, and a SERPENT Impact one, which is about.... 20 years old, rear wheel drive, 2 speed gearbox, and i have been told that IF i could ever get traction in it..... it would go from 0 - 100 kmh in 1.9 seconds flat..... but it just smokes the rears lol and for anyone who is heavily interested in RC Monster trucks, i strongly suggest the following site : www.beatyourtruck.com (http://www.beatyourtruck.com) *** AWESOME! my other cars and there is another three cars that i dont have photos of atm not a vl.... but there my babies lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Should of known it was a Genesis with those rims and tyres. It's a HPI Cuda' body am I correct? I've also heard the quality of them is almost next to poo pretty much. I wouldn't get one simply because of what I have heard and parts availability. By the looks of it, your probably not that much into electrics but, I've got a Losi XXX-BK1 with an Airtronics MX-3 FM radio system, 12x2 Orion V2 motor, Monster stock motor, Novak Dually ESC. It flies! and it's smooth as butter. I've also got a Nitro Evader which the engine gave way after only 1-2 gallons of fuel. I haven't replaced it since, though and I don't use the R/C's anymore now. They're just too expensive and after getting rip stinged on a used Brushless motor system I called it quits. Them things are worth ****loads. I brought all my stuff from the states which turns out a whole lot cheaper. Half price in some cases. Go to www.towerhobbies.com (http://www.towerhobbies.com) Oh yeah, did anyone go to Winton this weekend to watch the Group Nc's? How'd the Chargers go?

the revo is not indestructible lol, my ex-boss and i used to test them out around the front of the shed on a thursday night. he loved it and had that much money he didn't care, as soon as they were run in he would absolutely **** em big time. And the revo was ****ed the day he bought it lol. i think we ended up with probably 12 or 13 r/c cars out the back.................all ****ed lol
