Fruitfly01 596 Posted September 18, 2015 This is an idea I've seen on another (non car) forum. The idea is to post an obscure picture of an RC car - a close up, a detail, a portion of an image, inside, outside, the steering rack of a Bigwig, the internals of an Astute gearbox, etc... It doesn't have to be Tamiya or vintage, it can be any RC car past or present. Forum members then have to guess what car it is from the picture provided. The member who guesses correctly then has to post a picture for the game, and so it should continue. Hopefully, never ending, and a little bit of fun on the forum. I'll start. Remember, if you guess correctly, please post an image and keep the game going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XV Pilot 1936 Posted September 18, 2015 Hmm. Appears to be a RWD buggy judging by the shape of the motor plate and what appears to be a slipper. Doesn't look immediately familiar, so not one that I have in my fleet. The presence of screws rather than hex bolts suggests a Tamiya, and the black finish to the screws suggests one that is not very old. Perhaps a DN-01, or something along those lines?

Grastens 2795 Posted September 18, 2015 DN-01 is a great guess! I would have gone with Dyna Storm. Great thread, too! Looking forward to future editions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fruitfly01 596 Posted September 19, 2015 Not a DN01, and the slipper is a hop up. Not sure if that was entirely fair of me to include that in the shot. If slipper were to be ignored, you'd have spur, pinion and gearbox plate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fruitfly01 596 Posted September 19, 2015 CORRECT! It is a DF03. Your turn! my 500th post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XV Pilot 1936 Posted September 19, 2015 I'd also say MF-01X Jimny, specifically the cover over the hole through which you check the pinion/spur mesh. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waterbok 1282 Posted September 19, 2015 Lazy spru cutting? Used a sprue side cutter, please accept my sincere apologies for not keeping up with shelf queen standards. I don't own nail files in 5000, 10000 & 50000 grid to make my runner glossy and sparkle. And for those not whining, yes its the mf01x. Next. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
