Grumpy pants

A few knocks and bangs, I suspect the guy I bought the shell from used the wrong paint type though.

This is where I’m at, a basic clean to get the grot out, wipe it over and then go again. I’ll want to get these runners dirty and then dirty again and again, I’ll leave my OCD’s for the vintage shelf queens 🥳

Well, reverse it back and I can move on to the irritation of sorting the Blitzer steering next 🤦‍♂️

Not amazing, but I’m happy £12 all in inc materials. Not to bad for a set of scrap wheels -

What a fantastic project 👏

I only know as I checked mine as well 😂

The door handles are 100% correct @skom25 👍

I thought I reset my steering after last weeks out and it’s still not right. It’ll back on the ramp after once the XV has reverse again 🤦‍♂️

Immortal 💥

Looks fantastic Jeremy 👏 Street tyres on this bad boy now as well.

I have one of these on my daughters LB. It works well, however the tyre does come off the wheel sometimes, which is mildly irritating 😂

@Busdriver - it’s looking much healthier now!

I’m pretty sure the QD car bodies and wheels fit on Tamiya kit chassis’.

This is true, I think the work around is too run 2-3 packs through at a time. Otherwise it’s a lot of maintenance relative to the time spent driving.

The XV was irritating me today, so I put it away - Reverse kicked in very occasionally or mostly not all, unless I almost maxed out the throttle trim 🤦‍♂️ I assume you can use one of the settings in the handset?

Wishing you a speedy recovery and good health 👍

I unexpectedly had today off work, my plan was to start cleaning up the XV, however my wife cancelled all her gym classes so we could spend the day together - it’s been lovely to be fair, although I’ve just had the last hour Tamiya fiddle faffing -

No problem Rich 👍

Fantastic x2 👏

I think the rear wheel arches will help save the inside of the body shell from gravel rash and damage.

All cleaned up now, I just need to try out the reset steering 😂 and then it should be ready to go again -

@lupogtiboy, how’s your TT02 coming along?

@Elbowloh my body shell did the same, but I by raising the supporting body pins, all is well. A very neat installation there ⬆️

Hi Chuck, Welcome to TC! Personally I remove the motor from the car, leaving it still connected to car and then try it. Or if you have a spare motor connect it to the ESC and then try and run it.

For just over £20 the hoover has it limitations, but secretly I quite like having my own mini hoover 😂 and it serves a purpose. TBH shaking the car upside down and then using a painters brush is more effective 😉
