  2. Switches arrived yesterday so set to work on the electrics

     

    Lighting circuits I've spilt into 3, head and tail lights, front spots and roof spots, drew up a box and lid to house the switches and set printing

  3. I've had both SCA-1E and CC01... 6 to be exact!!

    48255204656_1924662212_c.jpg

    Carisma is much more capable but as said previously, there are lots of mods which increase the CC01's ability

    In my humble opinion, the CC01 is more 'real' and 'scale'.... nice scale trail rig. Think of running on a trail, would a 1:1 4x4 manage 10 times the obstacle size??

    Must-do-mods to the Tamiya are metal rear suspension links, remove the 'brick' at the front, locked diffs, trim front c-hub s for increased steering

  4. Progressed more tonight and I'm nearing the end of the build, just the wiring to complete and the decals to add

     

    I have NO idea how I'm going to do the electrics, I'm thinking of 3 switches so I can select main lights, front spots and roof spots. I have my defender wired similar, lightbar will only work when main lights are on

     

    Anyway enough waffle.....

    Roof spots wired up and braided

    Rear end and exhausts (that wobble!) on

    49750797126_3dea8c8d71_c.jpg

     

    Getting there!!!!

    49750256068_d15bb42a47_c.jpg

     

    Now...…. a big question and would like opinions..... do I leave the bumpers chrome or spray matt black??????

     

    As always, thanks for looking

  5. Few years ago I built a Tamiya Tundra High Lift which ended up sitting on the shelf and decided to sell it. With hindsight, regretted it!!

     

    I'd been thinking about another for a while and as luck would have it ordered another from Tamico which arrived before the lockdown.

     

    I'm not going to do a full build thread as there's lots out there but will post a few pics as the build comes to completion.......

     

    Chassis built up and electrics in

    1st LEDs in and braided up

    49738308692_1ca5094145_c.jpg

     

    Bullbar and spotlights de-chromed and sprayed matt black

     

    49737981236_ea57edd3c7_c.jpg

     

    Was going to go box-art and a champagne gold colour but sprayed this as a base coat and now split 50/50 on colour!!

     

    49738308592_ea88c30e71_c.jpg

     

    Much considering and colour testing, looking at my old build and the 'base' colour and a cheeky beer this afternoon.... Decision made!

    Final colour sprayed and sitting drying...

    49739304723_6ec223c461_c.jpg

     

    I'm going to keep the bumpers chrome but the roll bar/roof spot lights I'm thinking Matt black, along with the rear bed

    Looked at Tamico a week a go and had to order the Tundra also.

     

    299€ (and it was 5% extra sale weekend)  ,with bearing kit and shipping it was just 329€ total

     

    So  get yours also lol, still 299 over there

    I bought and built a Tundra, sold it last year and regretted it more and more.....

    Wish I hadn't read your post cos I've just ordered one from Tamico :lol:

  8. I started the scale/trail side of the hobby 7 years ago after reading a forum post and met some blokes in the woods at Black Rocks :rofl:

    Think some are still lurking around???......

     

    Anyway, the CC01 was my 1st scale rig and although I have more capable and advanced kits, I have kept it and use it every now and then.

     

    Its sat on the shelf for last 12 months and suffered a few cuts and bruises on its last run so I set about a refurb....

     

    I have made new body mounts, rear suspension links, new prop shaft (FTX Outlaw) and refurbed the electrics.

    Also fitted new wheels and tyres (not sure these will stay)

    48133633652_e4f84e8a2c_c.jpg

     

    I decided on Mazda Eternal Red for the colour

    Image result for a3e mazda

     

    After spraying wasn't happy and stripped and primed the shell again...…...

     

     

    Shell painted in the revised colour and its...…. LOUD!!

    Not sure that the pics show it too well but I have cut the roofrack to have the lightbar sit more flush. Also, still not convinced with the wheels

     

     

     

    Minor works to front end and few decals added

     

    LEDs in and wired up, 2 micro toggle switches to switch lights and lightbar separately - wired so lightbar works only when LEDs are on.

    Well, I think that's almost done. just a few scale items to print and add to roof rack.

     

    Thanks for looking :thumbsup:

  10. Reluctantly selling my Fast and Furious Cars, purchased from a forum member and sat on the shelf since

     

    Toyota Supra 

    TT01 with some nice hop-ups fitted and a shell which looks lovely!

     

    Tamiya Toyota Supra Body painted in PS61 Metallic Orange backed with Bright Silver. Vented bonnet is painted.

    Yokomo front and rear light buckets (better than the plastic Tamiya standard ones and LEDs fitted)

    Full Fast & Furious Supra Decals

    Movie-Accurate rear spoiler

    Reflective movie-accurate rear license plate (yep, I looked up the right plate #)!

    Kawada 5-spoke rims (closest I could get to screen-accurate) fitted with Tamiya semi-slick tyres (no inserts, not glued)

    Tamiya front mounted intercooler (fixed to chassis)

    Yokomo Exhaust tip (fixed with....Meccano!)

    Windows left clear (Cockpit set was supposed to be added)

    Chassis-

    TT01, fully ball-raced

    Tamiya Aluminium Motor Mount

    Tamiya Aluminium Prop-shaft

    Tamiya Adjustable upper suspension arms

    The car is never-run as can be seen from the images. Rear diff is locked and this is obviously a reversible modification.

    The bodyshell is not mounted, I never got around to fitting a secret-fix body mount system. 

    Currently fitted with a Tamiya S3003 standard Steering Servo and 540 Silver-can motor. No idea what pinion or gearing is in there, could be another pleasant surprise!

     

    I can only offer postage to UK, sorry but no international shipping

    Any questions or offers, please get in touch.
