  1. That is a great idea @Pylon80! Glad that the car had no damage. Thank you folks for the kind words, I am glad you like the car! I took it for another slow indoor spin, just to see it move. Maybe it's the old battery, but it seems docile enough when just inching forward and barely moving. It is silent, too. I wonder if it stays that way once you speed up
  2. Thank you @GeeWings! Glad you like the livery. It took a long time to get to this point but yes, I'm super happy with the result now that I see it done
  3. I hope it worked this time around. Are the photos visible?
  4. Thank you guys, I'm glad you like the car. Sorry @TurnipJF that you can't see the photos. I'll try posting them again in smaller clusters, hopefully this time it will work. @Pylon80 I'm aware of the adjustable ride height (I've learned a lot about it reading through your group C thread ), but the issue remains. Roads and parking lots are always in bad shape around here, it's not easy to find a spot free from cracks, gravel, bumps or debris, and gets even harder if a bigger area is needed. It's no coincidence I run mostly offroaders 😅 The C chassis is adjustable but it doesn't have the setup and the suspensions of a touring car. I think that if the C11 was to hit a pebble at the speeds you are warning me about, no amount of ground clearance would save her from doom I don't wanna risk too much for now, the chassis is completely new to me and I need to learn howto drive it, so I don't mind putting in the time to find a good playground before I hit the throttle. I think I'll start with exploring different areas such as tennis courts and running tracks, along with inquiring at a local RC drift club which,if I remember correctly, has a nice flat practice track that I could maybe try out. About the tires being grippy and relatively durable, that is really good news! Photos
  5. Thanks for letting me know @TurnipJF and @Elbowloh sorry about that I find postimage to be dependable usually, but who knows. I wonder if it's because I put a whole lot of photos in one post? I will reupload a few, hopefully you can see them now. Apologies for the double pics to who saw them already
  6. Those guys look great and super cool buggy!👍👍
  7. Hornet and Manta Ray are well, both geared up and ready to go I'll let you know next time I'm in the area for sure, and will keep an eye on the thread 👍
  8. I finished the Mercedes C11 Kenwood last night. We went out and took some outdoors pictures today, having finally some good weather. Then celebrated with a beer 🙂🍻
  9. It snowed heavily all day yesterday and we stayed home, so I finally got to work on the remaining decals. After that, I still felt like progressing so I started taking care of some of the details that still needed sorting out like rear lights, wing and the home brewed front tow ring. A few hours later, the car was completed! There's always room for improvement and details, of course: for instance, I am definitely going to build the antenna and the rearview mirrors from scratch at some point, while the empty shell is screaming for a driver cockpit set, but for the time being, once I tidy up the lights' wiring I am calling it Done I realize that the custom graphics section is supposed to be the interesting part of this otherwise pretty straightforward build thread, so thanks for sticking with it and reading this far. I am pleased with how it turned out, and I hope you too will like the result. I took the first photos yesterday, during a risky livingroom test run. I wanted to capture the color of the front lights, which I've envisioned to be this from the moment I chose the livery. The "official" photoshoot of the finished model happened today, luckily the weather was perfect and worth the wait. Here's the Mercedes Benz C11 Kenwood, nice and fresh. Can't wait to go run it -still no clue where ahahah but I'll figure it out. ⚫🔴⚫🔴⚫🔴
  10. Heya, just saw this. I'm in the Montreal area, it's no Toronto but only a few hours away. I get to the GTA area every now and then, for work or random reasons. While not able to join on a regular basis, I'd love a meet & bash with fellow TC members. I will keep an eye on this thread in case I am ever able to come by, you never know. @Frankster congratulations on your return home!
  11. Wow @Kol__, I just finally made it to the end and... Very interesting, engaging build thread, and fantastic stuff both technically and aesthetically!!! This screams quality all along. Congrats mate, excellent job 👌👍 Wondering how this beast drives as of now?
  12. Congrats on this particularly gorgeous paintjob, it is just wonderfully detailed. The car looks next level I'm just gonna go ahead and ask the old stinky question ... will the body posts get trimmed eventually or will they stay as is?
  13. @Rinskie willy looks spirited enough! @technics nice metallic green on the Honda, turned out great. As for me, I did a "Past meets the Present" kind of photoshoot. It's the first time I put the trucks side by side, and I was impressed at how much bigger the Big Boss is. It was interesting to see them up close and make the comparisons, albeit only the older of the two is technically a monster truck. Two very different generations, but they get along alright in my fleet 🙂
  14. Had a great long outing yesterday. One Big Boss, two full battery packs, and all the Badlands I could throw at it. A messy festival of snow and mud.
  15. I just spent the last couple hours reading through the thread from the start, and enjoyed every bit of it. top work all the way! Fantastic build 😎👍 Loved the side monstruosities chopping spree, the attention to details and the end results of the white plastics phobia 👌 Looking forward to the roll damper installation.
  16. Looks like an OK 917 body, certainly good enough for a runner! Speaking of Porsche 917, recently I've seen some truly mouthwatering bodies on IG, all mounted on the group C chassis. They look like the real thing, especially as they were finished off with proper paintjobs. Upon asking, the guy told me it's from some brand that only seems to be available on part of the Asian market (can't remember the name right now, sorry). I would get one of those in a heartbeat if I got a chance.
