    THUNDER DRAGONNNNN YESSSS FINALLY!!!!

    Now if it can just be toward the Manta Ray end of the price scale I will absolutely 100% get one!

    Showing as £179.00 at Modelsport.co.uk. 


  2. That's really cool. Everything is so right using the MF-01X chassis for a 959. Four wheel drive and the "engine" is in the right place. Great job on stickers and paint, did the bodies come with a rear wing or is that sourced separately like you have with an original?

    Get yourself a M06 and phat body's do a nice MK2 body, just ordered one my self for mine after hunting for body's the last month or two, just doesn't seem to be anything about these days.

    Will search for Phat body's MK2. All ready have an M-06 so another option is always good. Ta for the suggestion.

    If it's the tamiya MK2 that you are getting, it's 4WD Chassis.

    Yup figured that, thought it might be fun to disconnect the front by leaving out the connecting center drive shaft. Then as the motor is slung out the rear pop a gyro on it to make it controllable. I've a thing for having my rc cars the same wheel drive as the full scale vehicle. Can't have a four wheel drive Escort Mk2..😉

  5. Get round to building my Top Cat. Bought for the last lockdown but thankfully I was able to work through it in between getting and beating covid! Also moving so may wait till that's completed and I finally have a proper large and heated man cave 😁

    Still crossing everything that Kyosho re release the Optima Mid but I'm definitely getting an Escort Mk2. Reckon a rear wheel drive with a gyro would be fun. 


  6. All of the above. Some great posters which really make the forum what it is. Always amazes me the effort that goes into so many builds, comprehensive answers and new ideas. Do think a special mention to @TurnipJF for the postal race (I must have a go!) and the spirit it's organised in. @Saito2 has a knack of starting very interesting threads that brings out some great responses and @ThunderDragonCy has inspired me on too many occasions to spend more money... * ff-03.. @Mad Ax, @JennyMo and @Truck Norris builds simply blow me away and I wish I had the skill to achieve those results... Looking forward to what 2021 brings.. No pressure posters... 😉

  7. My FF-03. Was bought on a whim to keep me entertained through the first lockdown. Its just so impressive, handles brilliantly, requires very little modification out of the box (I went with a higher ride height to rally it) and is really well thought through. I've only added CVD's to stop the chatter at large steering angles and the carbon reinforced parts for the rear suspension. Has a Nimh and a Tble-02 at the moment but I've ordered another Sky TS50 so I can run a Lipo and lighten it a bit. Great car.

    I thought all the masami versions used Philips screws? Flat heads were the original cat/procat iirc.

    Yup you're absolutely right. Meant to say that. Still found it much easier with hex head. I can hold the driver in place as it locks in better whilst pulling the diff forward to tension the belt and tighten down the lock nut.
