knotty

good man thank you.

Hi all.When you spray a lexan with a white body are you best off backing it with another darker colour before you do the windows and lights to prevent any of the smoke grey for the windows showing through the white? or will it be ok just to let the white dry over night then do the PS 31 smoke? Or would you do a darker backing anyway to make the white pop out a bit more?

nah,it was from Modelsport over in Otley. Thought id put it in the original thread to be honest, no cloak and dagger stuff intended, just having a braindead night last night Anyhoo,Ive been over today and will be having a start on it tonight

Sorry forgot to mention its all brand new from a modelshop

Evening all,ive seen a deal advertised and for £129.00 im getting an itchy wallet.I think its a good deal but thought id ask you lot Its a TT-01 BMW 320i WTC Tamiya forward and reverse electronic speed control Acoms 2-channel 27mHz stick type RC system Ansmann AC9 trickle charger Ansmann 1900mAh 7.2v stick pack batter for the sake of an extra £20 over the price of standard kit only,might as well have some of that as i fancy a car rather than a truck for a change,but how good are the TT`s and whats best to run them on? I`m presuming tarmac/solid floor but are they any good on other surfaces?

Man thats one serious ford obsession!!

what i did in the end.used the pattern that comes with the kit manual,made it out of 2mm plasticard and sprayed it halfords silver.Oh and blu tac seems to hold it on ok plus its easy removed if you ever need to

That modded two stick is brilliant.

so you just need to remove the,diff gears and dogbones and the outer shaft should just be like stub axles then?

yeah thats what i thought about the extra weight,but wasnt sure what would happen if you removed the innards of the front gearbox

the blackfoot extreme is just a stub axle at the front whereas the front on a dual hunter is a full gearbox,so even if you remove the motor,and theres no shaft or belt connecting them your still driving the front diff as well arent you? unless you can remove the diffs and just have them operate as some kind of stub axles on the front?

woudnt you lose any gains through the fact that your still having to drive the front diffs?or am i missing something

On these brushless systems how would you go about linking up two motors(yes its clod related!!) would you get two motors and run it through a higher amp esc as in 2 x 35 amp motors and a 70 amp? or could you run two esc`s from one battery/reciever?

i`ll have a pop in but not sure whether i`ll be bringing my Truck.Might even be an excuse to go and get the merc!! Is it pay on the door?

There woudnt be an integy clod diff in there by any chance would there?

At last the decals for the gravedigger have arrived.Bless her she can get dressed properly now

thats what i noticed as well at 0.45.some kind of mobile rocket battery?

good man thank you

where as ive lived in yorkshire too long and am now that tight wi brass i just prefer a car thats original supplied parts are decent to start with

Anyone got a clue how to set them up?

I know im thick but you just take the diff out and put the one you said in with the other gears yeah?

Is that not the idea though,flog the kits cheap knowing that they`ll make thier money on the range of hop ups and spares that ansmann sell?

I wonder if i got the earlier before the upgrades version of the magnum then.Things i found was no tools supplied,clear as mud build manual,half the screws would get stuck in the grp chassis when driving them in and as a result the heads rounded off. runs ok for the young un like but for a decent basic basher truggy style, I would rather spend the extra and get a mad bull and a few hop ups for it

worked for me as well.The toxic handling twins are quite happily sitting sde by side on my shelf as i type. The body mounts are quite crud on the pumpkin but they arent that rare The chrome edition is nice as a shelfer but once scratched is knackered and you are stuck with the factory colour scheme(says me who did his non chrome edition box art black anyway!!!) yes i had the chrome one in my avatar,must get that cahnged now though,perhaps a nice family portrait lunchbox,pumpkin and their grandaddy clod

Looks like its playtime for the clod!! Think i`ll get dressed and try a maiden snow run with it
