Nice thanks for the photo. That seems to blend in like it was always was intend to be there.

Hi Qatmix, Yep sure no problems I'll always do them for the forum :-) I'll drop you a PM. Out of interest, has anybody got some pics of brackets on your cars? Be nice to see if few out there if you have any. Pete

Hi Erics, Thanks for the message, I've dropped you a PM and no problem I can get some arranged. Pete

Love the stand there, I think that is the one I put on thingiverse :-) - What do you think of it, any feedback will help me make it better. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4636957

Hi all, If anybody would like a set of brackets I've listed a few more. They've been out of stock for a while but now I've got a some ready to go:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184514080973 Any question just let me know, I tend to be hanging around the forum. Thanks, Pete

Got to be the simple silver can, it's certainly in the most kits and therefore sold the most. That must make it right at the top of the rankings.

I 3D print mine. The one with a black top is has the first few layers as a flexible rubber type to give it some grip onto the car chassis.

I think this depends which era you grew up in but for me the Hornet and Lunchbox scream Tamiya.

I don't think this will be ok. The plastic paint in Halfords is for 1:1 cars relatively hard plastics like bumpers and mirror covers not plastics that flex a lot like lexan. Halfords plastic paint is ok for shells like the lunchbox, monster beetle but not for painting when it's from the inside lexan types.

I love my St.Dragon too. I ended up painting most of mine to avoid the decals. To be fair it wasn't a difficult masking job.

I think the Titan is a hidden gem, I love it :-) https://tamico.de/Tamiya-Nissan-Titan-Racing-Truck-2WD-DT-02-Bausatz-58511

I've popped some more braces on Ebay now too, if anybody would like the link it's here:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184455359159 Thanks, Pete :-)

Hi All, I've got another batch of braces ready to go. 4 Frog type wrap around braces 7 Monster beetle/Blackfoot type (for the bumper) They are all in black this time. Before I list them elsewhere does anybody on here want a set? If you do drop me a PM or reply on this post and we can go from there. Thanks, Pete

They're hotshot oval blocks on a Astral wheels from the super astute. I found the kit tyres useless on the grass I was running on. These seem like a great all round tyre or bashing. The fronts were a bit of a squish to get them on as they should be a bit wider but they went on ok and have stayed on without glue. The wheels are a direct fit, rear hex and front from a 2wd buggy with bearings in the wheels. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tamiya-Hot-Shot-Bigwig-Boomerang-Wild-One-Fox-9805111-19805111-Rear-Tyres-Tires/401109069269?epid=175897913&hash=item5d63f6add5:g:UloAAOSw-8paXsel

I love this car, great basher and cheap at Tamico at 116 Euro. It comes fully ball raced too. I like it so much I've bought two, one to drive and one for show. Both of the shells are shown on the same chassis as I've still to build the second show chassis. https://tamico.de/Tamiya-Nissan-Titan-Racing-Truck-2WD-DT-02-Bausatz-58511
