I'd say the more questions you have
Did you draw that with a mouse? I am having difficulty believing so because the lines look drawn like with a pen, and am curious on what you used.

This looks like a screen shot from Euro Truck Simulator 2.

i hope so, cause i'll have a lot of them...
1. no, as i don't want it to be impossible to uninstall in the case i ever want to change the pinion. but i guess i'll try some elmers...
2. not on the flat part i don't think, but it's tightened on the flat now. hopefully it'll stay tight without some glue. thank you for the ideas!
Loctite Blue allows you to easily take it back off. I had the same issue as you once and have been using it since. A tiny tiny tiny drop is all you need.

No wonder they had trouble stopping him.

@stew_mac nice runs, if you’d like them entered on the first page pls just go edit them to include the speed in MPH and KPH
Also please confirm the gearbox’s are both stock and running the covers in both runs, viewing on my phone it’s too small to tell and the second run photo shows the Pinion exposed meaning the cover is off
The cover is there because it goes over the motor mount. It looks like the pinion rubbed a hole through it.

A dremel for me. One of those things that I always meant to buy and have needed a thousand times so finally got one.
Now that you have it, it'll get used once every 2 years.

The fox see's that the car is smaller than it and is curious to see if it could be a meal. The fox won't bother you because humans are much larger than the fox. The fox knows it cannot take you down so it'll run away when you make yourself known.
I've only ever seen jackals in David Attenborough shows.

You'll get bearings that way.

I should grow up and read some grown-up stuff, but grown-up stuff is so boring..)
My book suggestion wasn't a joke. That book teaches you to stop worrying about every little detail and only focus on the things that matter (your health, home, financial status, and relationships). It's helped me reduce stress at work. If anything, I suggest reading the reviews and see if it interest you or the OP. Yes, it is strongly worded, but gets the point across.

I'm starting to work on the hard plastic body for my CC01 project. I want to fill in the back of the cab since I won't be using the bed that's supposed to go with it. From my understanding, styrene is the way to go, right? I don't think I have ever seen styrene up close, so I am not sure what I am looking for. I know what Styrofoam is, so I imagine is shares similar properties. I've looked at pictures online, watched videos, and am still unsure. I went to the LHS and got the only thing they offered called styrene. It's a bit on the thick side compared to some of the Youtube videos I watched. I'm attempting to use it, but at this point, could just call what I have made a template.
Here is it on top of some bearings to show thickness.
Here's the filler piece I made. It's currently held in with friction. If I use the material I have, I am going to remake this piece to fill in the gaps where the window meets.
I'm going to have to glue the back window in place. I think that the bed that goes to this body is what should normally hold it in place, which is why the tape is on top.
I'm going to make the body mounts in a way that a rollover won't put stress on the styrene panel, but a side impact may be unavoidable. Considering that, do I go forward with the material I have, or should I get the correct styrene that everyone else uses? I remember reading that Shoe Goo is good to bond the styrene to plastic. What about filling the gaps? I have automotive bondo, and I have Tamiya putty. Which is preferred, or is there something else?
Any help on where to go from here would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't even built my Nismo F103GT yet, and I want this one.

Another vote for TT02R. The rear 3 degree aluminum uprights that it comes with makes it worth it.

As much as I love my Landfreeder...... Can I still say love considering its current state?
As much as I loved my Landfreeder, it just wasn't a capable crawler. Flat trails, gravel roads, light bumps, small obstacles, and it was great fun, but anything bigger and it doesn't compare to the capabilities of what Axial offers. These are 2 different vehicles with different intentions. If you want a go anywhere, crawl over anything, vehicle, you could also consider the Axial Wraith. It's larger than the SCX10, and uses 2.2 tires.
Size comparison between CC01 and Axial Wraith Spawn:
You can't deny that the Landfreeder has it beat in the looks department though.

I only see one rider.
(I still like it though)

Forget it. I'm done. Now they want me to upload a picture of my ID in order to get back on. I'm not giving them all of that information. A name is more than enough.
Thanks for the assistance @kontemax.

Something like that will help.
LOL. At the exact same time, we posted the same links.

I have a TT01 with a locked rear diff - is there any way to alter the steering for more angle during skidz?
I don't have these, and have never used them, but I seen them on eBay and was considering them.

Ok Kingfisher,
MaxThank you. That is extremely helpful. I sent them a 4th picture yesterday to confirm my identity. I am still waiting to get my account unlocked as of right now. Once I am back in, I will do everything you say and give you the information.
Thank you again.

Hopefully someone will see this rather than starting a new thread.
What is a good setup to do POV recording on the bench and for running vids? I made a few yesterday with tripod but the view was much too close up, incidentally I also need to learn editing software because what came out was rambling garbage.
Most of us drive with one hand and record with the other.

I've read enough of @78Triumph's link to know that i'll be getting an XV01 to use in place of the TT02 that I built as a rally car.

F101 chassis rear wing compatibility
in General discussions
Posted
I found and rebuilt/restored a very mistreated Ferrari F189 (#58084) - F101 Chassis. I am missing the rear wing. Finding the actual F101 wing seems impossible considering the age of the car. An F1 car without a rear wing looks weird to me, so I am willing to put anything that fits on there, even if it's not correct for this car as long as it doesn't require modification to the actual chassis. Will the other wings from F102 to F104 fit? Do they use the same mounting points? Are there any other ideas on what would work? Thank you.
