with absolutly no up grades my tto2b is the cats pajamas

i have always assumed that at some point i would run whatever i built. Now this to me is a touchy situation. I run my cars. And i enjoy it. However, I also have NIB kits stored to fix the runners assuming parts will not be avail. What i have found is that from 1988 till today i have "learned" about the upgrades and the lipo and the brushless. This changes the Argument from cheap to expensive. What i mean is, Lets find a happy price point, prob a tamiya kit that is including silver can and an esc. If that number is 200 usd, then are we saying that its a cheap kit? A 201 was $200 a few years ago. Now its all about upgrades. So the Schumacher LD2 that im sitting on, literally in front of me now, is $325 or so USD, However i have $500 in alloy and brass parts in multiple online carts. One of those alloy parts is required in step one. So, I can build the kit as is or do an upgraded kit. Same with Tamiya. I have 3 DN-01s, One is almost a trf201 another is halfway and one is NIB. Are we trying to put a finacial number on cheap vs expesive? even if u buy an upgradable kit, lets say because its an easy argument, a TT02B. but with full aluminum and all the trimmings a $150 kit is now 600 USD. Is thst kit still a cheap kit? We all upgrade in one way or another! It could be wheels, tires, a sport or torque tuned moter, a shock upgrade..........ect. i think the question should be stck cheap kits vs expensive stock kits. so meaning an egress at 600 usd vs a $100 grasshopper argument., Ill just leave this all here because i could go on but dont think i need to because if you are enjoying the hobby thats all that matters

Bodies should be just as availible as plastic spares........HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. I pick up my toys and go home.
There is a reason we just dont know why, The market is what the manufacturers want it to be. I agree, A lexan body is literally pennies to produce and "should" be avail, meaning they produced an exces to begin with. However if legality has a postion that could be a major issue. Its just part of the hobby. Sucks but true

this is of course intersting and has possible potential for me. However i will reserve judgement until we get the price. Its not a re re egress commanding top dollar, which i still say is way over priced. as well as Avante and bruiser and any other 500/600 or 900 dollar rere. if it comes im at a fair price and is accesible id guess id pick one up.

I forgot how long the decals on the super astute take! I like the design of the decals but just not keen really on the colour combination so I thought I'd try my own and I move the wing further back
fantastic color combo

2x DB02 Leonis bodies all the way from the USA.
I searched everywhere for these and none available in Europe BUT Tamiya USA had them. They don't deliver outside the US so special thanks to my forum friend @Finnsllc who ordered then forwarded them to me in Switzerland. Absolute top man.
so glad I could help out!!!! Stoked you got the 1500 mile shipment!

Its an interesting phenomenon, I had a servo issue. I took the bottom and top casing off. With that removal, when i hooked up the power, the servo just spun and spun. I then adjusted the trim to stop the servo from spinning. the point being that if i hadnt taken the servo apart, and then hooked it up while it was apart i would never had known the servo was "under load" the entire time. So by adjusting the trim by looking at the physical gears inside the servo i found that to be an incredibly interesting find. as i have always wondered and tried to adjust the steering, perhaps this is a piece of the puzzle
-
good luck with Tamiya parts support. Fun thread though.

@Busdriver hear ya. Just some of the stretch on the mold are really really thin
-
@Busdriver I hear ya. However im thinking stability of the shell

Ok so as i have explored this more. I cant reverse the gear due to the stops on the big gear. So i grabbed another servo,Brand new, and opened it up. I again plugged it into the car and powered up. This servo is adjusted LEFT 21 in order to stop the constant rotation.
-
Ok so i was having issues with a servo used in a buggy. I first thought that the steering arms and part could be cathing on somthing or binding. So as its an inexpensive servo i took it apart after realizing it was def the servo. There were broken teeth on inside. As its a steering servo i rotated the gears 180 and hooked it back up to the car with out the top and bottom of the case reinstalled. What i noticed was that when the reciever and car were turned on the servo was spinning or constantly running. I grabbed the controller and went into the trim and adjusted it until the servo stopped running and was still. I had to adjust to LEFT 31. im trying to understand what im dealing with. Meaning, if i hadent taken the servo apart or saw this does that mean that the servo constantly was pushing in on direction? Hmmm

Lots of little details need to addressed still. I cut out the white from the sticker sheet and used only the black molding for the front side windows to test the look. I need to pick up black pinstripe tape and redo. But most decals are affixed.
So im going to do the bumpers today, i was thinking black? Any thoughts on bumper color choice?
