R/C fork lift

Post by pauly » Wed Aug 27, 2008 8:25 pm

I was in an electronics shop today and saw this little forklift for £19.99 so bought it
I have seen cheaper 1s like it on ebay but didnt buy them because they had very over scale speed and very jerky motion but this 1 is slow and smooth

Iv been driving it round the garden all day pushing basket balls and lifting dogs toys

great fun :)

Yup we got the same forklift as you did Pauly but they were £14.57 including a 10% discount for new customers and including postage.

They are still available here - http://www.memorybits.co.uk/shop/valent ... klift/5629

Sounds like you have been trying to lift something a bit too heavy Graham. What do you expect from 'Made in China'!!

Mine just stops when its too heavy. Or tips the fork lift up on its front wheels! They are flimsy though, the front fork assembly, a cross bar has snapped, so Ive had to fix with glue so the forks cant slide anymore :( :roll:
