Yeah it makes perfect sense. I'm a huge fan of x-ray truggies as well, but seeing as I've already got an XT8, it seems 'sensible' to give Tekno a go. They look really nice.

I've got to hide the new 30cc twin cylinder aerobatic 3DHS Extra aircraft as it is, so no idea how I'm going to pull off introducing a new truggy into the mix! 🤔 Building it in the shed helps. Displaying it once it's finished though....🥴

I realised that my existing phone wasn't new anymore. In fact, it was nearly 5 years old which in mobile phone terms is pretty much antique.

I hadn't appreciated that a decent mobile phone these days can be as much as 1500 quid(!!!!), which is depressing.

After much thought, I went with a brand new Pixel 7 Pro and use my special SIM only. It's awesome to be fair. I'm loving speech to text!

The camera is flawless. 😍

Yeah "slipping" them by is a challenge.. I can't get such a big purchase past the Mrs. honestly.. thankfully I don't have to.. but I can't spend what I "ain't got" unfortunately. 😂😂
Phone?! Oh man, you got me beat by miles!!🤣🤣
I'd bet ur old phone was superior to the turd I'm tapping on!! A free Samsung Galaxy J7 Crown from Straight Talk.. circa 2019..😂😂 Camera? Yeah, its got one..🤷‍♂️😜

To add.. I will NEVER pay anywhere near 1500 quid for a phone.. Pesos maybe. LOL

Erm, my requirements for phones were pretty basic for years to be honest. Texting and phoning was fine. I had a Nokia rubber keyed phone for ages. 🤣

Over the years, people tried getting me into 'smart phones', but I didn't do Facebook or anything like that. No need!

Work, meetings, teams, demonstrating TV's etc meant that I had to get one eventually. Now I pick flagship phones, but not when they're first released.

Nice for taking pictures and videos of our favourite RC stuff!! 😎🤓

More cars! There has to be some more long lists of cars.....or even just pictures of your latest rigs! Let's be havin' ya!

Two funny things slightly off topic but were talked about earlier in this thread...
1st.. I have ran myself over with my Baja 5b, it hurt....
2nd.. I hardly EVER use my mobile phone as a phone..!! That's probably its least used function :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

You're right! On both counts.

Meanwhile, here's a picture of some old RC cars to give my post a veil of on-topicness.

That’s an impressive list. Mines a lot shorter. HSP flying fish to xstr 3S then 4S, to Brontosaurus 4S to TC Python 6S. I had a petro and a nitro truck in the 80’s, can’t remember what make they were.
I’ve had a few helix’s and drones but nothing descent.

The phone makers do the same always on about how good the camera is, I thought I was buying a phone?

Kyosho Fazer 1/10
