That's a cool colour combination @mud4fun. Might glow in the dark.

Happy ebay day. Found this "Super G" with radio and arrived today, in very good shape ! Just had to find new stickers (don't have the orignal one), new oil for shocks and buy a ball bearing set. A good cleaning and rock on !
The wheels are awesome. I also love the shape of the Grasshopper II body.

Made this beast
That's way too cool to hide it under a body shell.

Great pics and GIFs! 👍 I always enjoy your driving reports.

Not only today but also yesterday I've built some Beetle rear lights. Not completely finished yet but turns out okay I think.
This afternoon I had the first run with my slightly refurbished TA03-F which was rebuild with a low budget. Turns out that the budget was maybe a little bit too low as it badly needs new tyres. It was great fun and I really need to run my cars more often. Apart from that I have to gear it down as it has a good top speed, but have some problems to accelerate out of the corners. Here's the evidence that it was outside the house...

I measured quite a few features on wheels tonight. Below are some notes; maybe these will be helpful to someone else someday.
This helped me a lot today as I was quite confused about the wheel offset (as usual). 👍
It's stunning looking car that you have build. I really love it!

Ouch. Been there starred in the video, ended up in A&E
Luckily not that bad, an about 1 cm long and deep, but clean cut into the tip of the thumb. Was bleeding a lot but some plasters have done their job.

In the end my 4 year old daughter "worked" more on my rc cars than me. My Sand Rover shell now have eyes.

Have done some more styrene and filler work on a Sand Rover body.

Happy Birthday! Have fun with the build.

That's great. I know what you mean regarding the weathering. When you start it's looking good, second step is looking good, next step is looking good and then suddenly it's too much. But your walls turns out really nice.

A Wild Willy driver figure, a Wild Willy sticker sheet and some wheel nuts.

Yeah, you can glue them to the body with a tiny bit of liquid polystyrene cement. It welds the plastic parts together, but needs to be done before painting.
Thanks Fuijo, that's what I was looking for.

Hi everybody!
I'm trying to figure out how the smoke grey clear taillights of the Sand Scorcher have to be mounted. The standard ones which have to be painted are mounted with a small screw, but how are the smoke grey ones are mounted? It seems that the inner part of the taillight have to be cut out for that, but when I'm doing that the small pin for the screw is also removed.
Do I have to glue it to the body? Is there an instruction somewhere? I found nothing in the Sand Scorcher manual.

That dropped buggy looking awesome.
I'm curious if it will be a good tarmac runner. My M-05 has a ride height of about 10 mm at the front and 15 mm at the rear, but this is the standard adjustment. I'm not sure if this is right as the Mini Cooper never run until now.

That's awesome!
A milling machine is something that I also want. I have in fact no idea have to work with it, but I would like to have one. Until then I will go on with saw and file.

This is very interesting, as I'm thinking about painting a body shell with PS-15 and it should be as dark as possible. Daylight picture would be great. Thanks.
