Do we have anyone into R/C at all? I have a passing interest and dug these out of the garage last night and looking for advice/pointers

This is my unloved ( going to revive it ) tamiya TG10 Mk1 body.
I need servos , controller and battery, any recommendations? Where from?






I also bought this but I can’t recall what make / model it is! Any ideas?

Interesting perhaps to comment here that @jas_racing 's name actually stands for "Jez and Steve Racing" when we used to race model cars together..?

My knowledge of nitro stuff is near-zero unfortunately

It looks half decent though, designed for racing rather than just a ‘toy’?!

Surely OtleyModelsport are the guys for @andybond to go to for spares?

I can find spares online for my TG10. I need a pair of front alloys ( well, plastics ) 4 new tyres with foam inserts and some fresh nitro. I also need some servos, controller and batteries as mine are dead

The other car, I have no idea at all what it is!

Although some (wink) at the time suggested it should be ‘LAH-Racing’ (Laurel and Hardy) as I recall

Yes, and I’m sure they’d be able to identify the nitro truck from a photo or two as well I doubt the whacking great self-tapping screw just in front of the rear shock tower is kit-standard though...
