You build like me.

Thats fast compared to me,i always double check every step which slows things as well as i dont want to strip it down again.

I got a thundershot kit for christmas and have finshed building it and was wondering how long do you take to finish a kit.I know some kits are easier to build than others like 2wd and if they have pre cut and painted bodies.It took me a full day to finish the chassis and an hour to put decals on which is slow when i see this kit can be finished in 4 or 5 hours.So are any of you slow or fast at building your kits.

Hotshot 2/Super Sabre durability VS Thundershot
Super ally replied to cobalt's topic in General discussions
I have the super sabre and thunder shot and both are good runners and i have had no problems with any of them so far.If i had to choose between the two i would go with the thunder shot but both are great. -
I have a thunder shot kit to build and bought a steel pinion gear for it as i have noticed members say to replace the aluminium pinion.All my other cars have the stock pinion and most have the silver cans and a few sport tuned so im not bothered.

Tamiya legends youtube channel has not done any videos for the last 6 months,does anyone know if Glen is okay.He said that he had hit the Tamiya wall and had lost interest in the hobby.This was my favourite rc channel so i hope he comes back as i miss watching him.

How do you drive your Hotshot/Hotshot II/Super Hotshot?
Super ally replied to Smokescreen38's topic in General discussions
I run my hotshot with a sport tuned motor and 7.2v nimh on mostly tarmac surfaces so never any problems with it breaking anything.These are 80s designed buggies so they were designed for brushed motors and nicad batteries. -
The Thundershot is on sale in some uk online stores for £109.I bought mine from sc models and i have seen it for same price in modelsport and wonderland models as well.This is a great price for this kit as it was £185 before the sale price.Just wanted to let uk members know.

I agree with you 100% about this release.The hornet gearbox is bulletproof so dont need to change it and this is just a money grab in my opinion.

What motor did you put in yours? -
I have just finished building my re re super sabre after its been sitting in the box for months.I just added bearings and a sport tuned motor for a bit more power and i think it has turned out great.Its a great looking buggy which i prefer over the boomerang which still looks good to all you boomerang owners.Looking forward to getting it out for a run now.

Re Re Grasshopper - Top Tips Please!
Super ally replied to Grumpy pants's topic in Re-Release Discussions
With my grasshopper i put bearings,540 silver can and 18t pinion gear and thats good enough for this buggy.If you want better handling and speed you need to look at other buggies. -
Tamiya Grasshopper Re-Release Behaving Strangely
Super ally replied to Aldridge_One's topic in Re-Release Discussions
Get a novafox or wild one if you want a good 2wd buggy. -
9 runners with 1 shelf queen.The shelf queen is an original fox which has never been run.I plan on getting a blackfoot and maybe a hotshot 2 then thats it for me.
