  1. Hi all, has anyone got a 1/10 Short Course Truck they want to sell like a 2WD Slash or the like? Can be brushed or brushless or even a roller as long as it’s all intact and in working order. (I have a M05 RTR with a Honda S800 body to swap + cash on top if that could tempt anyone?) Thanks all

  3. Ah my very good friend sorry for the news and will miss you here, but don’t be worried or fearful it’s just the next phase for you. So prepare for this next chapter remembering all the good you’ve done and happy times you’ve had, your family love you and will always have you with them, don’t worry friend. Your good Tamiya pal - Jason1145.
  4. The only thing wrong with this first photo is the single beer… I mean… you need a couple when trying to fit a steering servo and linkages on an M-05! anything more than a couple and fuggitt, who cares if you use a wrong screw 🤷‍♂️😂 Steering in place, just need to dig out some electrics and then decide if I keep it as a 210mm wheelbase, then I’d have 2 of em, or make it 225 and buy a BMW shell ( HPI sorry) or 239 and fit my Citroen 2CV unpainted shell on? I think I’ll buy an M06 Karmann kit next and build it to 239 🥳
  5. Thanks pal appreciate the torch still being carried.
  6. Yeah the gear issue is correct as described above, any deviation is up to you guys but I think these have been abided by till now. Ahhh 17 cars, a few good ones in there too, none blistering, think there’s a Wild Willy 2 in there crawling along somewhere 😂 Go for it pal, I’m not going for more entries so the target is fixed!
  7. The one that sold was the Shark Mouth version, We still got the box art one with tatty box 🕺
  8. I’ve got a Sonic Fighter for sale on here hint hint! (i had an FX10 loved it then sold aswell)
  9. It can’t be just me is it? I don’t mean you can’t afford it, or it’s too scarce they rarely come up for sale, I mean they are relatively cheap and plentifully available, maybe for those very reasons you just didn’t get round to buying it yet? Mine are a Subaru Brat and a XR311 combat vehicle, always liked them but never owned one yet, can’t explain why as when I shop for RC I always find other stuff 🤷‍♂️😂 Whats your unpurchased secret hankering RC?
  10. Haha the fact you even thought that speaks volumes about my masking lol. No was from the inside I promise.. I did **** up the white stripe lines as they were clear all the way up to the window mask! I re painted some red to fix that.
  11. No, you’re just tired 🤦‍♂️ I’ll go fix it cheers pal
  12. Taaaa-daaaa - I obviously should’ve just posted a finished photo in the What have you done today thread - but I’m a bit out of the TC rhythm and mistakenly made a whole thread showing my half baked attempts. This now serves as a great lesson, I’ll stop wasting everyone’s time and get back to working on my 1:1 😂 Happy to have a Mini Cooper back in my collection though!
  13. Nope 😂 But I can live with it as a runner shell, there is a few bleeds but I’ve realised I don’t have the patience I once did and just wanted it finished you know?
  14. Progress report = Good news, my masking skills have not deteriorated over the years 🏆👍 I didn’t have green 🥳
  15. About to paint this 2nd hand shell today - wish me luck! Note - It’s been a few years since I dabbled with this task and will be using my old masking tape and rattle cans… better get shaking! (My daughter asked for it to be green - good choice, not sure I have green!)
  16. Good spot! Yes I think 3s will be worth a try then 😂 Applications Motors: Brushed Motor(540/550/775 size motors) Vehicles: Various 1/10th & 1/8th Vehicles KV Rating/T Count for single motor use, double when using two motors. Brushed Motor Limit with 2S LiPo/6S NiMH: =12T or RPM<30000@7.4V (540/550 size motors) Brushed Motor Limit with 3S LiPo/9S NiMH: =18T or RPM<20000@7.4V (540/550 size motors) Brushed Motor Limit with 4S LiPo/12S NiMH: =24T or RPM<15000@7.4V (540/550 size motors) When Driving 2 Motors Simultaneously the Turns/T Count of the Motor Must Be Increased Accordingly.
  17. Ahh zero timed, thank you pal! Bummer lol, but it’s very handy you replied and stopped me just buying some random brushed motors without checking first 😂 Hopefully someone has upgraded their Dagger and can point me to some examples
  18. Thanks for the link, I’m not sure what the rotation part you mentioned is about, I know the motors have to be the same as each other but they are mounted opposite, so the gearboxes are reversed from each other, so they both drive the wheels in the same direction. I’ve currently got two stock silver can 540 motors so I’d presume any brushed motor will work as long as they are the same turn rating? (I’d like a guide to how fast these go on stock 27-Turn motors, and then how fast they can go on say, 20-turn motors etc?)
  19. Ok chaps any recommendations on the best motors to make this thing a bit faster top end? Twin silver cans with 20t pinion ( only other option is 18t) and 2s lipo is too slow. Ive got a QuicRun 880 ESC so I need to stay with brushed motors, what’s a good upgrade please?
  20. Home brew 🏆 Thanks for the tip guys, never used these and didn’t know you could buy them individually or that they were threaded!
