Hey Folks!

Some of you (bitpimps) might know me, others might be luckier. ;)
Anyway, I finally decided to step up outta the 1:64's, and had been checking out the 1:18 scale stuff for a while. I was tossing up between the half-eight, mini-T and rc18t - but 2wd ruled out the mini-T, i'd heard from others who had durability and practicality issues with the 18t, plus once i saw the half-eight i knew i HAD to have it. So today I dropped $100 deposit on a half-eight at my LHS here in Brisbane, and will be paying off the rest after christmas.

This is my first venture larger than 1:64, so it's gonna be a steep learning curve! I'm off to do some reading!

i got the buggy - i have a thing for trucks too, but i have a bigger thing for not getting kicked out by my old lady for spending too much on toys!

Welcome to halfEIGHT.com Forums! :) ...With the thread title "Howdy Hey!", I would've thought that you were an American, never heard an Aussie say that before... :D

BTW, how much does the Mini Inferno cost (in AUD) over there?
