Numerically yes i kid i kid, it's a good question Thanks again Jonathon. I'll have a look at the R and MS and see where it all falls

Awesome thank you for you input. I think i might go with the pro and a exotek upgrade the stiffeners are the front TAM54720 and rear TAM54789? Are they not needed if i use the exotek? Do you happen to have part numbers for the alloy blocks, servo mount ? Thanks again!

Picked up some more materials for the LB and Beetle builds. Tamiya clear red and orange, 18mm yellow tape, 12 mm curved and Tamiya paint retardant so it flows better. xacto file set, e6000. New dremel bit for the lights and a can of regular Tamiya Gold for well you will see Also grabbed a organizer from Home Depot for my parts and such so I can have a cleaner work area I realized the bottom pic the organizer is upside down...lol

Thanks for the info Jonathon. The TT02 S is avail on ebay for $202 You also mentioned the TB05 Pro which i can get right now for $188 +shp from rc mart but everywhere else its over 300...lol Any reason you didn't give more info on it? the clubracer looks like a nice kit for 100 bucks, i may go with that one. Like i said i don't mind spending a bit more if its a chassis i can use for more than a week before it's outdated. EDIT what are your thoughts on the XV-01TC its going for a steal right now, i know its a bit outdated however as i wanted a XV-01 rally so i had done some research

Title says it all, did some reading here but it's a touch confusing. I don't want to jump into a 800+ dollar kit. Tamiya preferred but am willing to branch out (i own a Yokomo YZ2 CA buggy) Looking at about $200-$275 US budget for the kit , maybe a bit more if it really is a good reason. I will most likely run 17.5 or 21.5t depending on class. 2 or 4 wheel drive, im flexible but need pros and cons of each on various surfaces. Low maintenance cost Varied body style available (not sure if certain classes require certain bodies) Any other info you think might be important. Thanks in advance!

I work at a vinyl shop and this will be my preferred method for window trim on my kits. Just a much cleaner look and tons of options.

Thanks man, i 2 have 2 shells for this , a runner and a shelf, this is the shelf/show one for light running and i have a black one for other stuff, but that needs glass and chrome bits. So a little more progress I started the front blinkers in the grill, these are a bit tricky as the holes need to be oblong but i managed with minimal damage once its all painted up should be near invisible

Awesome thanks! I'll just run 4 fronts...or 4 REARS! muahahahah OK i'm going crazy

Wow that looks awesome! Sorry i hadn't gotten back to you been a crazy week. The decals look good though!

Started on my Lunchbox grill, really hate taking a drill to them but my van needs lights

I would like a set of normal width all around with 0 offset (like stock tamiya TC wheels) just love this pattern

Looks nice, whats the thing sticking up above the roof?

Always loved scooters/mopeds. I wanna get a classic Vespa and just cruise My brother was a certified dive instructor years ago (he has tried everything...lol) I could never get into it because of a irrational fear of things that don't belong underwater being underwater. Like i find shipwrecks fascinating but they also terrify me. Same goes for statues, underwater statues will send me out the room...lol Good on you for being able to do it, i envy that

Alright ill give it a go, do i absolutely need a different lower brace like the ampro one? Will the stock one work for now? (im talking about the one that holds the arms to the chassis)

I have the upgrade and am just confused as to how to install it...lol

That came out amazing ... man i might just send you my beetle...lol I have never painted lexan before so i am scared I am gonna botch it. So much masking and it's all backwards.

Ok those are cool! Always love robotics, never got into it sadly. Wow those are some nice trikes! over here im not used to seeing ones so long.

They are the angle i took the pic at is weird...lol thanks the front end sold me on it. GLI is Grand luxury Injection, really a odd name...lol It's basically a GTI with a trunk In the states we have GIT/GLI and TDI if i remember correctly The Jetta GLI, a sedan version of the Golf GTI based on the new Jetta, was revealed at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show with the 2.0 TSI 200 hp engine and a fully independent suspension, as well as the European Jetta's soft touch materials. A black honeycomb grill, aggressive lower intakes, side adorning foglights, smoked taillights, dual tailpipes, red painted calipers, and red stitching are all elements to separate it from its run-of-the-mill counterpart.[127] The GLI, as well as the Jetta TDI, are the only two trims to receive Volkswagen's 6-speed manual transmission as well as the optional 6-speed DSG gearbox.[128] GLI models feature a sport suspension that rides 0.6 inches lower than other Jetta models and the XDS® Cross Differential System.

Ahh now i got ya, makes total sense...lol That resto looks amazing, do you always use cans or have you ventured into airbrush? Always wanted to but im a fan of hand painting certain things and Tamiya cans just go on so smooth

Awesome, I have painted GW stuff, i just didn't post any pics...lol. I love me some Lego! How different are the UK ones to the states? Actually here's one i did, fully custom and out of the box this was painted probably 5 years ago?

I hear ya on the eyesight. thankfully i near sighted so it helps but it can a pain...lol Lego always fun no matter the age! Thanks for the compliment, i actually don't magnifying lenses distort my vision so i just hold them close and use my nearsightedness to my advantage

2013 VW Jetta GLI 6 spd auto Star Wars themed... yes im a nerd

I wouldn't due to having to mask 20+ windows LOL Super excited about a bus body though

Sorry if this has been posted before but as we are all a creative bunch, i wondered what other hobbies you all enjoy? For me i paint miniatures, work on restoring vintage Raleigh 3 speeds, building PC's and building military models from WW2 Some pics : and finally my biggest pain in the rear project... my real car...lol: 2013 VW Vetta GLI 6 spd dual clutch auto 2.0 turbo Post up yours with pics! EDIT Thank you mods for moving to the correct place
