  1. These are ace. Brings back memories of thumbing through mags as kid gawping at all those I couldn't afford.
  2. Looks good. Could you use a small amount of decanted PS silver for the lights applied with a brush? 🤔 Interested to see how it runs.
  3. Magnets make sense, would be a shame to puncture that shell. Ive never used them so have no idea how reliable they are.
  4. Finished the Top Cat. Looking forward to the Escort now as I'll not have to paint it! 😁
  5. That's worked out well, loving the copper. The black and silver give it bit of a fighter cockpit vibe. Like.
  6. Painted the Top Cat body. Not sure what to do the wing in. The top surface is where you paint so black may be best, unless I peel off the protective layer and mask the top to paint underneath... I may have just answered my own question.. Not perfect but good enough for a runner.
  7. Well now you're just showing off! 😁... *Goes to garage to cut some springs and make retainers for the DT-03....
  8. Just waiting on the cva shocks and black uprights and c hubs (Mo5ra). Impressed with the body, looking forward to the end result.
  9. That's a great tip thanks! Can't say I would have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out. 👍
  10. Some bits and pieces for the incoming Escort MF-01X build. Has a kit ever been so popular?! Mine may be a while, so I've the new battery for the Top Cat I may finally get to paint now it's warmer.
  11. Nice neat installation of electrics, that's going to be rapid with the Hobbywing and Speed Passion motor! Copper and matt black will be cool.
  12. Still looking good, always a relief when everything lines up. 6mm ride height is definitely do able. Could use protective tape underneath and a basher body. I assume it's a fairly standard wheelbase. Only concern would be the exposed pinion and gear. Looking forward to the end result 👍
  13. That is slick, such a good shape the Zonda. Looks great, body will be well worth the effort. Would definitely like one of those but I'd trash it where I could run it. My M-06 is scratched to bits and it's nowhere near as low as that!
  14. Wow! Chassis is interesting. Three shocks I presume for compression, rebound in three planes of motion. With the motor in the pod and part of the sprung weight will be interesting to see how it works. Quality looking kit, that body should be spot on once completed. It looks a proper job though!
  15. Good effort. Funnily enough that's how I do my ball diffs.. Any other way and I'm hunting around the floor searching for the balls!
  16. Nice, that body looks good. One for the shelf!
  17. Looking good. Always cool when there's plenty of carbon and machined aluminium. Would you say it's on par with Tamiya quality, better or worse?
  18. Well you'll not lose it.... Its all part of the fun, at least you'll not worry about it getting bashed. Cool chassis however, I've never seen that for a Hotshot, especially the bespoke body for it.
  19. Watching with interest. Not seen or heard of these, I'd also have no where to run one. Pan cars are very cool however.
  20. Yup, you're right. My bad! Super Mini CVA's it is.
  21. https://www.fusionhobbies.com/.. I went for no esc and a bearing kit. If you're a subscriber to this site there is a 10% discount you can ask for.
  22. Ordered an Escort Mk2 MF-01X. The waiting begins!
  23. Ordered from Fusion today, looking forward to not having to paint a body! Went for a bearing kit and no esc. Apart from mini CVA's what is everyone doing for dampers? Assume they are 50mm long.
  24. Agree, just looks so right. To be fair I bet the MO5ver2 handles better than the M-06! Mines crying out for giro I reckon. Still it's good run sliding it everywhere on tarmac.
