Grumpy pants

Great seeing this about to be reassembled to be used 👍

I’m not sure the right icon is to use there, but I’m with you all the way on that!

Ridiculous really TBH 😂. At my pace, it’ll take decades to clear the backlog 🤣 I’ll get frustrated at some point and sell a load off and between now and then keep the slow mo’ on the go 💥

Thank you high praise indeed 😊

Just had a happy hour tinkering with this one, and as my last package of parts arrives from TTM tomorrow, I’m now very much on the home stretch. I decided for now to run 55mm shocks all round, completely standard set up - 50519 Mini Shocks II, as they came with it. Tyres are 50568 all round as these were new, but loose in my spares and unknown Tamiya foams have been inserted, I’ve haven’t glued the tyres yet. It has a 540 silver can for now too. My thought process being, finish it, run it, enjoy it and play around with set up as I go along, otherwise there is a very strong chance it’ll never get finished at all. About £110 in now, not including bits I used out of my spares, which I’m happy with. This is the most modern chassis I have worked on and it’s been more fun than frustration and I’ve both enjoyed it and learnt some new bits along the way -

Ok, so this is what I can remember is hiding upstairs, which possibly means I have forgotten 1 or 2 or…. M-06 Chassis - Now a donor! M-05 Chassis kit - Now Sold. XV-01T Project. DT-02 ARTR - Listed For Sale. TT-01E F150 ARTR. Now Sold. MM Lunchbox Project. Lunchbox, Unfinished NIB kit. FF-03 Roller - Now Sold. Wild One Roller - Now Sold. M-08 Roller - Listed For Sale. TT-02S ARTR. Konghead ARTR. Kyosho Beetle (NIB) kit. ReRe Sand Scorcher, Mint. Vintage Sand Scorcher - massive bundle. Super Champ, shelf queen, light project. SRB Ford pick up, Mint. WW SWB M38, Mint. 3 Speed Hilux, VGC, complete. 3 Speed Blazing Blazer, Complete, project. XV-01, runner. Blitzer Beetle, runner. Grasshopper, almost finished. M-06 Beetle, almost finished. Feels like a Father’s Day confessional 😂

Great colour choice 👏

Happy birthday for tomorrow 🎉

This’ll be my next project once the M-06 Beetle is completed. It came with a 1060 ESC, TT motor, CVA’s and the wheels in the picture. Unusually the front engined body and a rear motor chassis isn’t bothering me 😳 Shock and tyre tips for running fast on tarmac please - any essential hop ups will be considered…. I have a good selection of M chassis wheels and tyres now and a selection of brushed motors, silver can, TT and Sport Tuned to use before buying anything else 👍

It’ll be this @Juhunio - after the M-06 👍

Consider it chosen 👍

Small potato’s last night, fitted the servo and R/X, tested the motor and ordered a small box of parts from Time Tunnel. Wheels/tyres next and then shocks while I wait for my order to arrive. Not sure on whether to pick up my Grasshopper next or the M-08?

Do you glue your tyres on? The manual says yes 😳

Agreed, the yellow CVA’s tie in nicely with the wheels 🎉

That’s good progress, bearings and a sale pending 💥 I’d only supply a battery if I had decent spare to include, but not otherwise.

Another great thread @Nikko85 👏

A paint brush mostly, works well for and sometimes baby wipes.

Got a little distracted by the XV and some gardening this weekend 😂

Body posts trimmed, ESC swapped for one with a deans plug and crossmembers fitted. Officially LiPo only now for this car, my 1st committed move over from NiMH. For me the Tamiya TT motor and 2s feels like the right set up. I had the ESC, 2 LiPo 2S batteries and a suitable charger already, so no additional spending needed which is great - I’m going to put some foam in the battery tray and call this one done 🎉

I was hoping to buy this kit, this month, but all the £199 deals have gone - you snooze you lose 😭 Oh well I guess with kiddo 5 hoping to start Uni this coming September, it’s probably for the best 😂 Thankfully kiddo 5 is the last one to go, so there is light at the end of the tunnel 🔦

There is sooo much to like about this thread!

This a gorgeous looking F-150 and the cleanest Stadium truck I have seen 👏

Just some small items actioned tonight - I should have a little time over the next 2-3 days to continue tinkering with this fun project -

I’ve got a few tyre sets now, courtesy of @toyolien This chassis will be light to moderately run on tarmac - which tyre combo would you recommend? 54995 M-Chassis 60D Super Radial Tires (Soft) 54999 M-Chassis 60D Super Radial Tires (Hard) 50684 M-Chassis 60D M-Grip Radial Tires Any combo of tyres + or - foams?

I’ve picked this back up and expect to finish before starting anything else 😉 RW steel pinion, servo, servo saver and ESC out my spares, body mount extensions new from (TTP).
