TWINSET

For those who aren't clicking the links, here's a few screenshots. Everything I've seen so far is priced at $39.88, $40.88 or $41.88 and everything has 'size' options regardless of what it is. All the reviews were made in the last few days . At present, the search function doesn't work on the site, so it's either someone setting up a new site, or one of the laziest scammers ever According to WhoIs, the domain was registered 25 Feb 23

It looks like some strange scam site or a start up e-shop site that's not fully working - Everything is about the same price and reviews are all pretty new https://www.kathernes.top/products.aspx?cid=67&cname=%241+stuffed+animals https://www.kathernes.top/products.aspx?cid=67&cname=%241+hot+wheels+cars https://www.kathernes.top/products.aspx?cid=67&cname=%2410+toys+at+target Watermarking pics has been discussed before, but there's nothing stopping you adding your own. With Photoshop and GiMP getting so good at removing 'distractions' in photos, unless you go for a really intrusive watermark, even free software can do a decent job of removing them.

No doubt, just curious what's holding the top panel down as that needs removing to slide out the battery hold-down pin

This always makes me chuckle - no ESC included, yet they insist in picturing a ESC with a Tamiya connector and an adaptor lead for the battery connector Saw it on one of their recent touring chassis kits too 😄

Be interesting to see how the body is held in place then, hope its not just these screws

I was wondering that - this body clip concerns me Loving it otherwise, proper retro-mod mix 👍

Pre-order, stock due towards the end of January https://www.fusionhobbies.com/product/58486-tamiya-alfa-romeo-giulia-sprint-gt-m06 5% discount for TC members or 10% for subscribers (email Fusion for the checkout code) When looking at offshore suppliers, don't forget there's a good chance you'll need to pay 20% VAT and, possibly, a customs clearing fee.

The original bodyshell was moulded with louvres in place (one piece) - the colouring for the louvres was done with decals The blue body is moulded in polythene, not ABS, so doesn't take paint very well - the same may apply to the black body so be careful what chemicals/solvents you use to clean it with, you might melt the body The louvre decals are the 4 black panels, lower middle *The panels aren't on the re-re decal sheet, but are included on some repro sheets

Just did a quick image search, and it looks right - don't forget a left to right angled shaft is no different to an up to down shaft as far as universal joints go And found this;

It's a Blitzer Beetle Xtreme - basically a TRF Blitzer with lexan shell, tons of heavy blue, costs 3 times what a normal BB would and doesn't include an ESC, motor, wheels, tires, tyres, or a driver figure although, weirdly, will contain the driver sprue from the Buggy Champ. It'll be an already-discontinued limited edition available only to employees of Tamiya Guatemala and will ship on a plain box each illustrated with a hand-drawn sketch of the kit by Jun Watanabe. Probably

Announced on the @Mokei Kagaku FB page earlier 58688 Toyota Land Cruiser 300 (CC-02L chassis) Library pic - rumour has it the kit comes with all the accessories needed for the school run

Just in case; Pic and video link from @Mokei Kagaku on FB Reminds me of

I haven't been admin for over 3 years now - I wasn't spending enough time on TC so resigned. The only option for avatar adding (as far as I'm aware) is for Netsmith to do it manually. It's covered in the post ad456 mentioned.

Pics from Thundertech (the ones CPE copied ) https://www.thundertechracing.com/motormnt.htm This side goes to motor - The bolt heads sit in the recess, and the sides of the slots stop the bolts rotating Use the original brass tubes when assembling - they stop you overtightening the nuts which could distort the gearbox/axle casing and screw with the mesh They add about 5mm to the motor length too, so your motors might foul on the suspension arms. If you are sticking with 13 t pinions there is no need for the motor mounts

No, sorry - haven't messed about with Clods for years. You'll either need a normal and reverse rotation set (if they're still made) or 2 identical motors with adjustable timing, then mirror/reverse the timing on the front/rear. Have a read of this;

Clod pinions are 32p (32DP) with 13 teeth Because of the gearbox design, you can't easily fit a different sized pinion (you can just about get away with 12 teeth if you take the brass tubes [BM5] out) If you want to change the gearing any more, you'll need a set of these; https://teamcpe.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=33_148&product_id=2040 These are always a good thing to fit too (B11 in manual) - the plastic versions break eventually; https://teamcpe.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=33_167&product_id=2277

Years n years ago Tamiya used to make some 2 or 3 part wheels where the rim section could be flipped to widen the track (I think) Pretty sure they were white 5 spokes but can't remember what car they were for originally Edit: These are them https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295137112709?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=RPYY7N2XTou&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=UfeleFAHRXy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Porsche version: offset +2 and +10 flipped https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394235869679?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=64iuHMS9TDa&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=UfeleFAHRXy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

This was up for sale a few years back Edit: Just found this too;

Best not to run it with anything other than a 27t motor; MTronik ESC used to be notorious for going up in a puff of smoke if taxed. Back in 2008 they were hard to ID;

I set my tank up on a Black and Decker workmate near the garage door - easier to clean up splashes then. For the trackball, I used a far smaller tank; an approximately A3 sized, Really Useful 18 litre The more film you use, the less the design gets distorted during the dip - The film is sold in metre lengths, you just cut off the appropriate amount. As I'm using a splash design the distortion isn't really an issue but, on cartoon character or logo designs, it might be

The film isn't solid like a decal sheet, it's basically pigment printed onto a disolvable carrier film Once the carrier film liquefies, you're left with pigment and the sludge of the carrier film - that needs rinsing off the dipped part before it re-sets Take a look at this - At 9:00 you can see the pigment swirling around behind the dipped part The carrier film is PVA based so I skim the water with a few paper towels then drain the tank thru a plant-pot lined with a couple of coffee filters and some material from a cooker hood, into a bucket The water then goes on the garden plants.
