Jon, when you say flatting back what does that mean exactly? I paint pretty well but you make me look like a amateur lol (to be fair my area is miniature painting and 1:24 scale military models)

Great job on the MR2 always loved those little cars, one of my friends has one and he babies it Looking forward to more from you!

Man that is looking fantastic! I agree the side ones are a bit too big, throws off the scale to me.

It came out gorgeous. I hope mine can come out even 1/3 as nice. I have to rebuild my whole front diff due to some odd warping on my chassis. Tamiya sent me the 2 halves, will give me a chance to install my aluminum servo mount and driveshaft once it arrives.

Agreed those decals are a pint in the butt...lol I work with vinyl and i wont use them.

I never liked the Top Force, but man o man i am loving this one! Spring needs to hurry up!

Lunchbox update! So i ordered the brace and the lens kit from Ampro Engineering and i am impressed: Brace 20190123_113921 by David Ashe, on Flickr Rear shocks: 20190123_113210 by David Ashe, on Flickr And progress on the tail lights: Left side fitted with a dremel/file/xacto the plastic sun on the dremel bit and melted the trim a little Right side was done using my weller hot knife/file/xacto both methods are scary lol Right fitted I still have a lot of cleanup and such to do, but it's nice to know the toughest of them are done. Side markers are gonna be interesting shoutout to @graemevw who wanted to see progress pics

Got the ampro trans brace installed and fitted my rear shocks hopefully for the last time...lol 20190123_113921 by David Ashe, on Flickr 20190123_113210 by David Ashe, on Flickr

Will do, it can get expensive quick!

Got my AMPRO stuff in. Rear brace and lens kit for my Lunchbox 20190123_041945 by David Ashe, on Flickr

Got mine built, haven't run it with the YR and trf shocks yet but noticed the rear shocks are rather stiff. I also had the issue with the rear turnbuckles hitting the wheel but realized i used the wrong spacers...lol OS that is all set and now i have touring car size wheels (1.9) so i should no issues with clearance Next up is the body

I grew up drawing Calvin and Hobbs, this car makes me smile Did you hand paint the characters on first from then inside and then spray the yellow? Came out amazing!

Coming along great! Looking forward to the Optima, i have always wanted a Kyosho buggy

I have my kit also, still need turnbuckles though

Thanks i am excited to see how it come out! Yes they are touring car rims, Tamiya ones. i have no tires yet so I am not sure how well it will work...lol , should be fine, i may have to move the body up a notch to clear the tires, i am gonna try the Tamiya rally blocks for the Jimny

Finally got started on prepping the body for paint, having never dealt with lexan masks before my god was that time consuming for the windows...lol For my first time i think them came out alright also fitted the 1.9 wheels from speedy need tires now lol 20190121_134619 by David Ashe, on Flickr

Really like the yellow, though does that make it a light impact now? Sorry terrible humor...lol.

Saw this on Tamiya Legends, man it came out fantastic!

Kev Talbot owns a ebay RC store and makes over 1 mil a year doing it, hence why his shop and stash is so killer. He does love the hobby and has a lot of great info, even did a build of the RE-RE Manta Ray. He's super amped up but i guess i would be too if i got to play with RC's all day...lol

Hit up a local flea market and while no real RC stuff i snagged a few vintage plane model kits 20190120_043621 by David Ashe, on Flickr 20190120_043635 by David Ashe, on Flickr 20190120_043627 by David Ashe, on Flickr Should be fun, all 3 was $22 Also grabbed a gold Texaco Wrecker a 50th anny Hot Wheels corvette and a cool painting of Spiderman

Did you put the wrong quote? lol
