Did you bring cookies with you VW?
That stuff is so cool.... I really wish it fit in my budget.
No worries.. Cookies, breaded chicken strips and have even added dark chocolate covered bacon to the mix now too.

I couldn't justify the $ to buy the red one now either.. Bought it a long time ago and paid way too much for it at the time (I think my jet ski cost me less..). The 1/4 scale Catch 10 was made up mostly of scrap pieces of marine mahogany and maybe $50 of balsa and the tiny strips of mahogany used for the stringers, etc..
The new yellow tunnel needs a lot of work and a bit of $ thrown at it, but to be honest, I picked it up for only $75! You just have to be that guy that wins the Kijiji lottery. I've been into this r/c stuff since well before I could legally drive, so I have boxes full of parts to frankenstein it all together hopefully..
