cheers. That makes it clearer, although I`d heard the term offset in relation to 1:1 cars I`ve never heard the term backspace

When a wheel size gives an offset of say 6mm, what exactly does that mean? does that mean it will sit 6mm further off the axle than a standard wheel? IE giving you a further 12mm track width? or have I got that completely wrong?

Cheers Turnip

Ah. Not a bad idea. Are they available as spares from a kit?

Unfortuatly got called into work today so didn't get as far as I would have liked. Got a few coats of the red done though. Hopefully get a bit more done tomorrow

Yeah I thought about that and was thinking of using the backing colour on the lexan as the primer so you should get a reasonable match up

Will PS paint work on the wing mirrors on an mf-01x or will I need to buy the corresponding TS acrylic spray for them?

Got a flyer from work today, so after re Muttproofing the fence I've had chance to cut the body, ream out the post holes and spray the black bits for the grill and Badge holder. Luckily I'm off tomorrow so will get a good swing at masking all the silver areas off ready for spraying oner the weekend. The black marks all over the body are where I've gone over the lines on the outside to show where I'm hoping to mask. The plan is to have Metallic red for the body and silver bumpers and trims with possibly the door handles as well. I'm undecided whether to do the mirrors red or silver

Last night I got it as far as a rolling chassis. Decided to stop, then decided to add the electrics. All very straight forward, the only fiddly bits I found was if you follow the instructions you have a bit of a fight installing the rear left shocker top fitting as you have to guide it round the propshaft cover. Other than that it was plain sailing

I haven't done a step by step thread as I'm sure others will have covered this. For once I actually everything I needed before I started. The kit itself, paint, receiver, servo and ballraces. I actually got a Tamiya servo (TS1?) and in fairness it aligned Bob on.

I havent photo`d each stage but she`s up to rolling stage. I`ll sort a thread with photos of where she`s at tomorrow.

Bit of an unexpected evening delivery from Fusion and for the first time ever I think I have everything ready to start building

Can`t beat being a grown up and folks wanting your playtime money

7 days door to door from Germany, well 4 if you take out the weekend and bank Holiday. Can't complain

Thats crap matey. Hope she gets sorted soon

Allegedly shops can reopen, for those of us in the UK anyway. So wheres your first port of call modelwise? Anyone else who can`t wait to get out and properly browse for paint and bits and pieces? Personally I think i`ll try and hang on for a week or two to let the initial bedlam die down, then have a wander out to modelsport to get stocked up

Keep it for a fun daft basher? A sport tuned in, and some bearings you could have some fun round the garden or the park. Plenty of spare bodies around as well cheap enough so if you break it your not as bothered

That's is spot on. Bug looks fantastic and shots are superb Personally I've sprayed a body. Was expecting sparkly cherry but it looks more Barbie pink. It'll do for a basher

That's is spot on. Bug looks fantastic and shots are superb

Been to the LHS and got a body. Son follows me in, produces 120 sheets from his wallet and buys himself this Banzai. Must admit it seems OK for the brass. Everything is removable and upgradeable and a decent etronix trigger transmitter.

Not 100% but the first one looks very Kyosho pureten ish

Been looking at this the last few days and seeing as Lexan seems to be the material of choice these days is an airbrush a decent option, and how easy is it to do regarding setting up mixing and actual spraying?

Nowt today hopefully tomorrow starts the packages rolling in. On the plus side did get an email from DHL to say my Jimny is on its way

Cheers Mad Ax. Looks like a lot of colours are hard to find lately. What is the best brush paint to use for the grill and stuff? was looking for a black PC5 but seems to be rarer than hens teeth now

Cheers best order 2 red then.
