Think there's a rat down on the south coast who might be interested in a cash offer......try sweetening it with some chocolate and you might convince him....

not sure how good the tuscy r/c's are, but you could go out and buy a decent r/c racing kit and buy a tuscan body for it.

If it is the same one as in WWesty's picture, then I have one. But it is a total load of cack! .... Its range is limited to about 15 feet. "Performance" wise it has the 2 stage forward speed (slow and medium) and 1 speed backwards. Steering is also limited in that its either On or Off. We got it at Argos when it was on sale - something like original £40, sale price £20 and I still think I was ripped off.

If your realy desperate for it, ask Mrs Cuchillo and make her an offer she cannot refuse

(NB: Not sure if we bothered to keep the box either!)

HTH

[Mrs Cuchillo]

I'm pretty sure we still have the box but I will check tonight. In fact the box was the best bit because it had a picture of a real Tuscan with reflex/chameleon paint job, whereas the actual car is plain blue.

But as Cuchillo says, if you want it, make us an offer!

[Mrs Cuchillo]

The Empire Direct one is the same mechanics as the Argos one that we have, with just a different plastic shell on it.

Tim, I will find out how much the postage would be on it and then let you know how much we want for it.

I don't 'know what you expect for £20 I got the T350 version last year and for a toy it's fine and that's all it's meant to be. I saw a really good Merc 1:18 radio control car in a magazine and it was £250... bit of a difference I think. Rich...

Not too sure about the rest of the world, but when I <b>pay</b> for a <b>Tuscan</b> R/C car I expect it to look like the car on the box.... Not something that Jade Goddy/Godding/Whatever has s(h)at apon.

I know, I know, I want the ruddy moon on a stick next... I must be

[TimW]

How much is P&P then?? you found out.

[trevorw]

You can get all the spares for these from here, body shell is £6.50
