Tis a small world I work in Batley area quite a bit . What thickness of microline do you use?. Tanks for the link what thickness would be suitable for panel lines is the 0.2mm the best and does it take a while to dry? Richard

As per the topic really which is best and what size I have seen pens at 0.28mm and micro tape at .30mm which is easier to use and gives the best results? I am going to use this for the pannel lines etc on my new build.

Hi all I have a Futaba 6ex 2.4ghz transmitter and reciever for my 1:14 Scania, I am now thinking of taking on my second 1:14 build my question is if I buy a Futaba reciever do I need to program the reciever to the transmitter or is it just a case of wire it up turn it on and it will work? Thanks Richard

Back again with another question on the TT-01-E how do you know the difference between the long and short wheelbase bodies ive got this http://www.fusionhobbies.com/Tamiya-Subaru...E-p/ta58426.htm I would think this is a short wheelbase am I right in thinking this? and if I am how do you tell which bodies are long wheelbase?

Hi chaps back again with another question When I painted my scania R470 it was painted using car paint from halfords, However when reading about painted rc car shells the general advice was to use Tamiya PS paint, I have looked into these further and alot of sites are saying to spray the body from the inside? I assume this is so that if/when I bin it into a wall then the paint wont be scratched/damaged but what about the stickers they cant go on from the inside can they? Sorry might seem a daft question but I have never done this before Thanks Richard

Many Thanks for the info much appreciated :-)

Another quick question I have looked at upgrading the prop shaft, joint cups etc and just wondered is the upgrade for the part to last longer or just for handling response etc The reason I ask is the car wont be used in competion or anything, it's only going to be used on some tarmaced land at the back of the house

Hi Henk Yeah plenty of information there thanks Richard

Hi I have already built a Tamiya Scania big rig and trailer, and due to lack of funds cant afford to build another anytime soon, So I was thinking of getting a RC car to build/run. My first question is this: Is the Tamiya TT01 type e chassis alot better than the original TT01? Also will all the bodyshells from the TT01 right thru to the TT01 type e fit? I am thinking of geting the following http://www.fusionhobbies.com/ProductDetail...10&CartID=4 if I get the ballrace bearings is there any other hop ups that would be suggested? Thanks for any info Richard

When was this announced, looks good it's on the wish list now http://www.fusionhobbies.com/ProductDetail...uctCode=TA56326

Thanks I'll have a read of the manual. I wont be operating both "toys" at the same time as you said nothing good will happen, probably watch em both spear off in different directions at top speed into a wall or other random hard object

I have used the receiver etc in a 1:14 scale truck and I am thinking of building another, The question is this. If I buy a futaba receiver and servos that are the same and put them into the new truck will the hand held transmitter work with both trucks or do I need to make any changes to the transmitter?. Sorry if this is confusing but I do find radio gear a tad confusing. Also if it will work would the transmitter then operate both trucks at the same time or not. Thanks

So about 5 months after building my Scania truck I decided that there needed to be some sort of interior rather than blacked out windows and below are the pictures of how I got on. I left all of the electrics exactly where they were and modified the interior to fit, its not exact and may look a bit extreme but it does give a fair representation I think.

very funny I know what you mean about "friends" think our "toys" are for them to use and abuse at will. I know the type of brush you are talking about ill give it a try.

I have had my truck out a couple of times now and having loads of fun with it, but it is now absolutley caked with a thin layer of dirt all over the back end. What is the best way to clean it should I use compressed air from a can or is a bruch better? or any other suggestions. Thanks

Looks brilliant, it just reinforces the fact that I have to have one. Just 2 questions, Did you have to paint the front where it says MAN in silver and the background in black? and also the silver side piece that says MAN euro5 did you have to paint that or not?

Have you tried adjusting the vibration trimmer on the mfu? If you look on page 6 of the instructions on the bottom left of the page it shows the vibration unit trimmer labelled as VR2 (it's next to the J14 connector) trying turning that with a small screwdriver and see if that helps. If not have you used the correct sized counterweight iirc it should be the small counterweight. Hope that helps

Hello Is there anyone that sells the lead that plugs into the MFC and goes to the back of the tractor truck (J28) on its own or will I have to buy the whole kit to get one? Thanks in advance.

What about this company http://www.eamodels.co.uk/tamiya-rc-114-sc...line-2563-p.asp £189. it says non in stock but they should be able to get them from there supplier.

I got the tractor truck mfu and ball bearings from Modelsport UK in Otley I went into the shop to get it and I got the trailer from Fushion Hobbies on mailorder (they give a discount for members). If you are not too bothered about waiting for the model it might be worth trying this company. http://www.eamodels.co.uk/tamiya-rc-114-sc...line-2563-p.asp

Are there any release dates for this truck yet?

as promised a few more pics to say it is the first time I have ever built an R/C vehicle I dont think ive done too bad. Reversing lights Right hand side of truck Rear of tractor truck Left hand side of truck Spare wheel rack with spare wheels Brake lights Back of trailer Scania R470 on its own

I have just about finished it now, taken just may time over the last 6 weeks. more pics to follow tomorrow in the daylight. It has the MFU, and I have added twin white reversing lights as well. I decided not to paint the truck blue but chose a Ford metallic purple.

Wheels arrived today in the post fantastic service and prompt delivery, They look well on the rack at the back of the trailer.

does anyone have any info on these or anything simular. Looking at it I think it is something like 1:20.
