knotty

fair enough.that`ll teach me to check first!! Should be able to source sone rac/autotrader btcc decals from somewhere for it though.but what about the weighting? a bit of playing around to get it sorted or will it be ok "from the box" as it were

with the servo on the side of the ff-03 i take it the receiver/speed controll will balance it out if fitted on the right hand side of the battery(looking from front on) otherwise its going to be messing about with lead or similar.But is that not going to be front end heavy? i know on a fwd you need the grip over front wheels for steering and drive but you still need a balanced carAnd on the subject of bodyshells what about a release of the old BTCC Vauxhall cavalier(Opel Vectra "A" for our continental brothers And some sort of Holden nonsense for our antipodean members )As Won the championship in the hands of John Clelland?

Cheers.I`ll either have a search later or drop him a pm

tastes better with southern comfort anyway!!! So its not looking likely to return in the near future then?

Im looking to get a rally car next and was wondering are these any good for light park bashing/ back garden bashing etc?What peoples experience of them? Doesnt matter which shell it is cos i`m likely to have 2 or 3 seperate ones

stick with it.i bought the young un a magnum for xmas and slated it for the build quality and instructions on here.but its as mad as a box of frogs to drive and good fun to be had with it

ok hows about £10, two bored kids and a nagging mrs then? i`ll even throw a cat in as a sweetner

So far ive had to do my tamiya related pennance!!Due to my overexuberance with the stanley knife,paints,glues and tamiya`s with fast motors and soft rubber there was more skid marks on the kitchen table than a drunks undies,so ive been forced into sanding off and re staining the kitchen table. Still had time to paint my defender though.The thinking was if she`s out and the tables getting done might as well have a quick inside spray session.Now just to get rid of the smell before she`s home

Just another quickie on lexan and silver paints.Ive just done an HPi landrover shell in silver(complete pain to mask all the arches and stuff by the way.but another story for another thread) given it a full can of silver polycarb paint and i have never seen owt so see through since the mrs got ready for bed last night!!! It looks ok looked at obliquely on the table or such but with light behind it its still completely see through.Is there something im missing here? or is it just a case of more layers till the thing is solid?

Tbh thats why i dont make offers on here.I dont want to insult people by making an offer that doesnt suit. But this is somewhere i come all the time for advice and stuff and I think thats part of it whereas on ebay I dont know them,will probably have no further contact with them (apart from people like tony(europro)) so if an offer upsets them its their problem

when you wash the shell before painting do you let it air dry or towel dry?

Nowt to do with trust, for£100 notes id have the volvo off you like a shot matey.except for two things1) car insurance due 2) car tax due And the fact that i dont have £100 notes spare at the minute

Cheers.i`ll have a scout through that later on

As much as it breaks my heart to help an obvious mag , Even worse to get hold of up there by all accounts,theres nowhere left in Durham i know of and modelzone in the metrocenter is more static kits with very little spares.You could try phils models in north shields but thats about all i can think of. Unless you want any motor not just an actual tamiya ST,then you could try either modelactive at chester le street or much-more racing over at stanley

Where do you get the I beams and L angled styrene from?Anyone got any links for uk based stores that do them?

Instead of being on here asking about cheating,er bait boats sorry,you could try going into the garden and practicing your casting just dont overshoot and hit your neighbours brand new car(not that ive ever done it, only heard about it ...honestly.... ) Seriously though Does it have to be 380`s? you can pick up 540`s for peanuts these days and run them off a teu103bk,well sealed in a condom it should handle both motors(its what its designed for) and be waterproof enough for what you need.As for the mtroniks i think some of them are waterproof as standard but i think yours will be too low a rating.As far as i know when you have two motors you should Double the turn rating, IE two 28 turn 540`s would be safest with a 14 turn esc.but wait and see what the others say on the matter

Cheers Henk matey.think i`ll be doing the same

Probably should be in the other makes section,but has anyone had owt to do with these?They seem to be on ebay at the minute for 60 notes and i wondered if they were worth the money,as an introduction to crawling so to speak

Two tl-01s, Three technically with a tl-01b Two lunchies- nessa`s and a pumpkin Only 1 cc-01 but working on it.got the pajero but working on getting another.i havent decided between the toureg or the wrangler Truck chassis see above.Have the scania r470 but am looking at another to join it

I thought something would have gone but gods honest even the head ons into a steel washing post didnt even mark it Really good fun

I have actually just noticed one of the back tyres has now got a split in it.new ones on the way...

yeah you will.its a seriously good looking monster cuda!! And the baja`s TL-01b is a great buggy for bashing

My way of unwinding, now that the nights are getting lighter and before the garden gets set for the summer involves several 3 foot high flower beds, a stepped lawn and abusing a clodbuster.But its left me with a question, How on earth do you kill a clodbuster? For the third night in a row i have just ABUSED the truck in the back garden,jumping off one lawn, three feet down to the next and the thing just rolls a few times or hits the washing post head on and just gets up and goes again!! With the two sport tuneds in its not exactly slow either for a big truck.Great fun and beats coming in stressed!!

Well not strictly today,but last night i got the beemer finished.Went together fairly straightforward, and the TLU01 has fitted and routed nicely.Ill get some picture up tonight but ive that that horrible thing to do first---WORK boo hiss roll on retirement!!

i had its predecessor,the fighterbuggy rx and for a fun basher you coudnt knock it
