  1. Concerning battery/motor/pinion what's the set-up for your CR?

    Speaking of that... I'm planning to use a 3s Li-Po in my Unimog. Anyone know where I can get longer mount screws (BA22) to rise the battery "cover" to get room for the larger battery pack??

    Other than that I'll be using a 21,5T sensored QuicRun motor with standard 20T pinion + 60A QuicRun ESC.


  2. Hi!

    It's been around 5 years since I was active on tamiyaclub.com. Time to get back :D

    Some of you might remember the MG Metro 6R4 I built in 2010...: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=102393&sid=29893

    I ran the Metro for the first time this summer and it handled quite well so I decided to build a simular car for my son. I do think the Ken Block DC Shoes Subaru is one of the greatest looking Subarus so therefore I thought a different looking Brat was in it's place.

    This is a mash-up of different parts:

    FF-01 chassis tub from a Honda Civic,

    TA-01 gearboxes,

    DF-01 upper & lower arms,

    adjustable tie-rods,

    TA-02 uprights,

    DF-03 front driveshafts (modified to slip into the TA-02 bearings),

    Yeah Racing rear driveshafts (unis),

    hard driveshaft cups,

    Yeah Racing TA-01 alu propshaft (shortend),

    fully ballraced,

    Alloy dampers,

    EzRun 17,5T motor + 60A ESC,

    Traxxas TQi 2,4 GHz Radio + transmitter,

    FaceWorx decals,

    AMG Mercedes 58145 rear spoiler,

    Toyota Celica GT-Four 58164 mirrors,

    Wide 5-spoke wheels with BF Goodrichs.

  3. Hi friends! Long time no see. As I've bought myself a 1/1 Alfa Romeo racecar I've been kinda occupied with that for the last 1/2 year or so...

    Today we had our cool niece Pia visiting and she's an eager amateur photografer so I thought she'd have a go at the Slash on the lawn. She's only 15 and she'd like to know what you think of her first RC-photos.

  4. When painting the RetroRacing bodies you need to use waterbased paints.

    Check this link: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.a...21&id=25518

    Scroll down to see Retro Racings comment:

    These bodies are made from PET-G plactic, which is basicly same material that is used in plastic bottles. The main difference for Lexan bodies is that it's recommended to use WATER BASED COLOURS. High solvent content paints will make the plastic harder and this can be the result. -RetroRacing

  5. The car is set up like this:

    TT-01 chassis, modified to better ground clearance

    Stadium Raider wheels

    electronics:

    TEU-104 ESC

    Lansu LS-103-R 2ch AM rx

    Futaba FP 5148 steering servo

    standard 540 silver can

    IP 25C 3000 mAh Li-Fe battery

    I really enjoy the car myself. We often swap the wheels for wide on-roads and I'm surprised of how well it goes both on and off road.
