The wheels were formerly used in the Jimny. Then I just got tired of the wheels that I've beeen using for the Pajero and ordered new set of 90mm tires narrower than the one installed. I think the wheels and tires really went well with the Pajero.

Friday - Worked on some turntable custom projects. Will resume some Star Wars modeling tomorrow (Saturday). I reserved it as hobby day for this week. No work, no gigs. Just hobbies.

Another very good budget options are the Radiolink RC4GS (4-channel) & RC6GS (6/7-channel) radios. The overall feel is good. Steering, trigger and buttons as well as the grip. Although adding rubber grips would make it feel even better, I chose this over a Flysky when I went back into this hobby. As for the mid-range to high end, You can't go wrong with Sanwa, Futaba, Spectrum and KO Propo. Although Fkysky (NB4) and Radiolink (RC8X) released their high-endmodels, they're still not par to the four premium brands I mentioned in terms of overall feel, response and latency. I'm currently using the Radiolink RC4GS which controls four cars (up to 10 cars) and a Sanwa MT-44 (MT-5 is the updated version) controls three cars (up to 20 cars) and love both. I'm very satisfied as both perform well.

Friday - this is what I did. Tested my new Hohem iSteady Pro4 gimbal. Time elapse capture on Go Pro with motion elapse on the gimbal and inception mode. The older one which was a Pro2 was ok but the newer Go Pros 9/10/11 won't fit. So I sold it and bought this current model. What's even nicer as you can also control the Go Pro with the gimbal. The previous models couldn't. Really happy with this one.

This! Blows off any of the entry level Tamiya and 3Racing kits.

So sorry to hear this @MadInventor We will pray for you. Keep the faith and bless you.

Front drive shafts/universal shafts, C-hubs and front knuckles of the FF-01/TA-02/03 and CC-01 are also compatible.

Went RC traiing with the kids... A video I made.

Thanks for the mention but like @Raman36 @one_hit & @Juls1, we all love our XV-01 and don't consider it expensive. Besides, improving the kits, whether it be a TT-02 or a TRF420, is part of the fun which takes up the performance into a higher level. I read on one of your coments that hopping-up kits or modifications is not exactly your cup of tea but to many of us, it's what excites us and building is half of the enjoyment of RC. Not just charging and driving. As for me personally, box-stock kits are so boring. Building it according to manual to me is very medeocre. No fun and skills there to be honest. Now the modification and custom building is what pushes my adrenalines. Especially when it turns out not only beautiful, but drives like a sweet charmer. As from experience, a properly modified XV-01, TA-05 or FF-03 for example, defintely has the edge in performance if built well and balanced. Those blue bits that you see installed in our cars aren't just blings. They serve important purposes and functions. Makes the cars run with precision and better handling overall. Sorry for the off-topic @hamtaro

Can't go wrong with a yellow, blue or even a red one.

You'll forget that once you start enjoying its performance.

The un-boxing of the Grumpy Cat.

There's only one Tamiya I like that never got to buy it because I went on buying other kits. TB-04R. I'll still get one someday. Other kits I like to purchase are non-Tamiya. Kyosho Turbo Scorpion, Xpress AT1 and a 313mm crawler (not decided whether to go with Traxxas TRX4 or HPI Venture).

Welcome to TC!

Beautiful! I miss my TA-04R.

Did a proper photoshoot on the Pro-R.

Thank you! 😊
