[Alternative wheels for the Konghead]

I'm looking for some alternative wheels for the Konghead, as the stock chrome ones are very brittle. Does anyone know if these will fit, and if they'll also work with the stock tyres? I've not heard of R31 before.

Many thanks

Did you get chance to have a look at my PM, before i stick it on eBay?

[WTB Fast Attack Vehicle Project]

Steve,

Just sent you a PM with all the details/prices etc.

[WTB Fast Attack Vehicle Project]

I can help you out. I've got a brand new unpainted but part built fav sharkmouth if that's the sort of thing you're after?

Also got kit wheels and alloy wheels along with a 3d printed flat four engine and exhaust.

Got lots of spares too.

Let me know what you are looking for and I'll sort more details tomorrow once I've had some sleep ;o)

[My Fast Attack Build - FINISHED]

Thanks.

It was intended to be a runner but now it's done it looks too nice to use. But i probably will, just carefully.

[My Fast Attack Build - FINISHED]

Thanks for the replies.

I've finally got this one done.

I noticed that the gear stick is in a place that the driver couldn't reach so i made another one.

And here we are. I'm really pleased with how this one has turned out.

Any comments welcome, and thanks for looking.

I've never seen alloy pumpkin mounts only lunchbox ones. I'll have a look again.

Great job. If you get some done in aluminium I'd have a couple of sets.

Is there a way to get full details without having to have a Facebook account (which i don't)?

[My Fast Attack Build - FINISHED]

Thanks for the comments.

Manage to find time this evening to get the wheels and tyres finished.

~Next job is to paint the bonnet, roof trim and side parts.

[My Fast Attack Build - FINISHED]

This is my first build on here. I've built quite a few Tamiya kits in the past, and as a kid, but this one i'm taking my time with. Any thoughts welcomed.

First job is to paint this chap. This is the first time I've ever had the patience to paint a driver. Not perfect, but i'm pleased with how he looks.

I wasn't using the rear box, so i made a lid/fuel cell to hide the wiring for the lights.

Plenty of wires to hide!

And, here's where i'm upto. More to come when i get five minutes.

[HELP with ABS glue... please.]

I've done similar on a Blackfoot body - is that ABS?

Anyways, I used CA glue but an 'oversized' section of styrene plate to ensure I got good contact, since CA is very thin. I'm guessing you're covering up the hole where the mounted machine gun should be?

Could you just put a nut and bolt in the hole and then proceed to fill it? It's quite a deep hole and it's got a shape to it as well, it may not even need a backing plate...

It did have a shape to the back but i've cut that off to get the plate to stick. Also, i tried your method first, but as the hole was too deep the filler just started to sink and melt the plastic anyway, so that's why i cut the back off. I'm now left with a 8mm diameter hole to fill, but it's now only the thickness of the bonnet. So, once i've found a glue suitable for the plate on the back, filling it will be easy... i hope.

[HELP with ABS glue... please.]

I'm trying to fill a hole in the bonnet of a FAV. I've done loads of repairs on Tamiya hard bodies before, but i now realise that the FAV bonnet is the same material as the chassis (which i think is ABS). Also, i think the driver figure is too, so i'll need some appropriate glue for that as well...

Firstly, I'm trying to glue a plate to the back of the hole on the bonnet. I've sanded the back and the plate but the glues I've tried won't stick it. Maybe i'm expecting too strong a bond, but i don't want it falling off once I've painted it.

I've tried Plasticweld (i realise that's more for styrene bodies etc), and I've just bought some Unibond ABS (and other plastics) epoxy glue and that's not held either.

Ideally i'd like a glue/method of melting the two pieces together, so before i get me soldering iron out, are there any secrets i can be privvy to?

Thanks for any help.

Still no luck with these.

[Quick question about Fast Attack Vehicle front shocks.]

Thank you very much. Just what I needed.

[Quick question about Fast Attack Vehicle front shocks.]

Can anyone help me out. I could do with knowing the measurement of the stock front FAV shocks. Measured from the centre of the lower mounting bolt to the underneath of the upper mount.

Thanks if you can help me.

Has anyone got a Shark Mouth manual and decals they don't need?

I actually only need the dashboard decal and the two shark teeth but don't mind them all.

Thanks.

[Padlatrak Tyres for Fast Attack Vehicle]

Thank you. That's exactly what i was looking for. Much appreciated.

[Padlatrak Tyres for Fast Attack Vehicle]

Thanks for the info. I know the diameter of the wheels but do you know the overall diameter of the tyres on the rear of a scorcher? I wanted to see how much smaller they were than the fav rear tyres.

[Padlatrak Tyres for Fast Attack Vehicle]

I've got some alloy fav wheels i was hoping to use. Do you know the overall diameter of a rear scorcher tyre compared to a fav rear?

[Padlatrak Tyres for Fast Attack Vehicle]

Do Tamiya do a 1.7" version of the padlatrak tyres found on the Scorcher etc? I've seen a couple of favs with them on but can't find them anywhere.

Thanks.

[FS Grasshopper ΧΒ RTR]

How much?

You have pm.

I've been after one of these for a couple of years. Can anyone help me? Part number 49459.

Thanks. Neil

[Clodbuster rebuilt from a box of parts]

Would you mind listing the parts you have used for the axles (particularly the link lengths and 4 link mounts etc), and which single shock conversion you have used? I wouldn't mind doing something similar with a Clod i have in bits.

Thanks
