  1. Good luck with the move! Looking forward to seeing their new home.
  2. I have 3d printed M04 body posts for this very reason.
  3. Nice. We were going to have a building to replace our garage but we couldn't decide / agree on it's purpose so opted for a verandah and 'workshop' (insulated shed). It gets installed on Tuesday so my RCs will have a new home and I'll continue to WFH at the dining table. I think you should have your shelfers on display behind you - the Frog on my desk at work has prompted some fun conversations. You can always blur your background if you prefer! Enjoy the process - lots of fun
  4. Your point about managing the point of failure echoes other threads about aftermarket hop ups and using alu arms - tubs / chassis are typically more difficult / expensive to replace vs arms. Enjoying your progress!
  5. I use MIP speed tips in a micro stubby ratchet handle. The handle was cheapish but great to have a ratchet function, the tips more expensive but the quality is definitely higher than my Tamiyas (though the T ones are a bit old now).
  6. Twin Detonator Tamiya USA Twin Detonator Manual WT-01 Tamiya USA WT01 Manual Both use 50736 sprue for hubs - as does the TL01 Tamiya USA TL-01 Manual Both use 5688 for arms Here's the WR02G if you need it Tamiya USA WR-02G
  7. My second recent purchase from a TC member. This time, the most excellent @Grumpy pants I have always wanted an M07 and this shell is a very similar colour to the Bluebird my Dad had when I was a kid (he bought it off his Dad!). Need to find a photo...
  8. Thank you @jonboy1 As my M03 / M04 Minotaur Mini Monster didn't quite work out so I needed to repurpose the chassis. I had a vague plan that would see me push the modelling aspect of a build far further than I have tried before. Though not quite to the level of some of the recent builds on here! This kind gentleman has *ahem* enabled me to start the project with a spacer to extend my chassis to a 239mm wheelbase. I have some parts on order from Shapeways too. This is a long term project and I'll only share the results if I feel they stand scrutiny
  9. I'm not a buggy guy (so I tell myself) but I wish I'd bought a 2020 re-re of the Terra Scorcher - a nice sorted buggy with a box art scheme I actually like. If I had, I probably wouldn't have got on the pre-release hype train for the TD4. Which I still haven't built. I also wish I'd bought a CC-01 Lowrider Pajero. I do like that bodyshell. A couple of seconds hand deals I missed out on - a CC-01 Touareg - a nicely hopped up CR-01 on TC - I was away for the weekend and missed emails to my work phone from the seller. He thought I was ignoring him so sold it to someone else . I did regret missing that one.
  10. Great to see a build from you, and an entertaining one at that! Many happy (early) returns - for your birthday and TC!
  11. I'm still looking at the witchery of that ESC mounting.... ....but I have to agree it looks great. I feel M-envy.
  12. They are all our children and all are equal. Some may be more equal than others.
  13. Such a helpful member of TC, may he RIP.
