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!
 
HaHa!! I rocked a Nokia E71 for ages!! I still have it!!😉😜

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
