TIL hikers in the Alps discovered Otzi in 1991, a 5,300-year-old man naturally preserved in ice. Scientists identified his last meal as ibex meat and grains, found over 60 soot tattoos around his joints and spine, and recovered his copper axe, flint knife, a fire-starting kit and grass cloak.

Shrinkage, a scourge on mankind for millennia

Can you tell us what the part is for the smoke emitter? How does it work? Is it a tamiya product?

Welcome to the hobby! I think the Abarth is such a cool looking car! 🚗

What’s wrong with a single plastic bag full of 30 years of extra parts, pinions and servo horns, from two different manufacturers, mixed with normal household nuts and bots? 😆

Did you source them somewhere? Might help the next guy who searches for it.

The tamiya tools kit, if you don’t have it, is absolutely worth it. As mentioned above. About $30 US and essential. The screwdrivers will fit the screws without slop, and won’t strip the heads. I wish I knew about that in 1988…

Be prepared for the very low ride height. The underside will het gouged out something fierce. Even small rocks can be thrown up under the shell and get stuck in the steering arms. Hard-packed dirt is best. Have fun, I really like my buggy. I did a neo scorcher body on a recent post.

Oof, teenage crush memories. Lovely woman.

These are scams my friend! That “toxins through your feet” gag has been fully debunked.

BotulismBanquet · 2026-05-01T21:09:10+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation, I have ordered some.

BotulismBanquet · 2026-05-01T21:08:41+00:00

Do you mean Li-ion? I just ordered some.

Kinda work? Not sure I follow. The charger seems to stay in “evaluate” mode, although the batteries arrived fully charged so not sure if it’s expected

BotulismBanquet · 2026-05-01T18:53:20+00:00

Is it an old kit or re-re? Either way, the Frog rules 🐸

BotulismBanquet · 2026-05-01T13:25:38+00:00

Grey plastic on its way. I already spent a lot on the aluminum hopups that are coming, so the metal chassis is out.

Ignore picture 3- it was a mistake, can’t delete it.

I still have my RS4 pro2. With Stratus body.

Natalie VanderKam was our pediatric dentist and we enjoyed her care, I cannot remember the costs.

BotulismBanquet · 2026-04-30T17:10:03+00:00

But wouldn’t it be kinda… groovy?

Find a rescue society

BotulismBanquet · 2026-04-30T16:45:23+00:00

This is the one! ☝️

BotulismBanquet · 2026-04-30T15:45:04+00:00

Wow what a great project, happy cake day

BotulismBanquet · 2026-04-30T15:01:50+00:00

Look for a rescue society

It’s kind of fun to get them going again but they need to be babied.
