Meet The BlockBrat

Recommended Posts

Hi!

It's been around 5 years since I was active on tamiyaclub.com. Time to get back :D

Some of you might remember the MG Metro 6R4 I built in 2010...: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=102393&sid=29893

I ran the Metro for the first time this summer and it handled quite well so I decided to build a simular car for my son. I do think the Ken Block DC Shoes Subaru is one of the greatest looking Subarus so therefore I thought a different looking Brat was in it's place.

This is a mash-up of different parts:

FF-01 chassis tub from a Honda Civic,

TA-01 gearboxes,

DF-01 upper & lower arms,

adjustable tie-rods,

TA-02 uprights,

DF-03 front driveshafts (modified to slip into the TA-02 bearings),

Yeah Racing rear driveshafts (unis),

hard driveshaft cups,

Yeah Racing TA-01 alu propshaft (shortend),

fully ballraced,

Alloy dampers,

EzRun 17,5T motor + 60A ESC,

Traxxas TQi 2,4 GHz Radio + transmitter,

FaceWorx decals,

AMG Mercedes 58145 rear spoiler,

Toyota Celica GT-Four 58164 mirrors,

Wide 5-spoke wheels with BF Goodrichs.

You'll find more pics here: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=127765&id=29893

Ha that's awesome. I'm considering getting some of the decal sheets from the far east as they're so cheap and it's a great livery.

Ha ! My boy's car is exactly the same platform - TA02 with DF01 suspension and uni shafts, brat body and those tyres. They drive unreal !

Great job on the body and I really like the wide wheels too. That thing is rad !

THX Steve! I love to make something different from parts lying around, and hopefully it'll work fine :D
