This was uploaded yesterday - not sure if youve seen it already. What a car!

Happy birthday!!!!!
-
It's my birthday today! Time for another 037 or something like that Maybe someday, it could be a 1:1!
-
Lost my job today... The next Lancia 037 Rally is on hold.
-
More Lancia-related nonsense:
Stick a Toyota MR2 AW11 central monocoque in between some Lancia 037 panels, and you get some odd hybrid that is in the spirit of the original, but not really an 037. It is a little easier to find and service AW11s than Montecarlos/Scorpions over here, though, and serviceability is a component of a good rally car...
And regardless, I would drive one!
-
It might also look a little more like an 037 than this:
I feel bad for putting this car down because it looks like a lot of work went into preparing a car that still captures several cues of the original, but it looks like this model was built on top of a Toyota MR2 as opposed to around one, which was the point to be made.

I should hope that nobody has to rely on MCI Racing's customer support - the company is a great service that serves many on TamiyaClub, but their follow-up and handling of customers is leaving something to be desired.
As a hobbyist with custom decal orders and a Canadian (at least I think they are Canadian, but if that is true, why charge in USD, I ask rhetorically), I find this incredibly disappointing. I will start looking elsewhere to print my own designs.

Five years since my acquisition of an original Lancia Rally, I will be getting my hands on the re-re-release! This new model is in an affordable price range for me, and will hopefully be inexpensive to maintain. The drive shaft has me convinced the TA-02S might be easier to maintain than the belt-driven TA-03RS.
I sure hope this is the case, as I look forward to running this new one much like I did the old one:
I am beyond excited!

Happiest of birthdays to you today!
-
Happy birthday, good sir!

I had fun showing a non-TC member the various WR-02 projects here!
-
A WR-02C rally team would have excellent parts availability; reasonable durability; and decent performance on- and off-road when set up correctly. At least, this is what I want to believe...
-
If you picked my brain, you would be building a Kumamon Clodbuster; a Wheelie Hilux; and an Audi Quattro on a WR-02!

Will I ever know the beauty of a Tamiya 3-speed, past or present?
-
Yet not found my mind... can not find the other ones for sure! ;-)

I have not purchased anything RC related since January! Looks like I may be due...
