I think I followed the same ad for weeks while the price was lowered more and more... Good to know this little car ended up in good hands😁

For such special cases, I have a cheap set of milling cutters (could be this one >>HERE<<) to bring the (especially) bearing seats to the correct dimension. Which printing process and which material did you choose?

Complete 3D model of the model🥰

All of the parts which I have replaced brings no advantage on the track compared with the original parts. It's only for saving these. But I will take all original parts with me to the TOC in case of potentially weired point of views of marshalls (or other staffs), that I can exchange them back. Regarding less rotating mass of of a dual pad slipper compared to the original MDC: IMO there is no real advantage in accelerating (due to less rotating mass of the slipper) because the oil-filled gear diff has on the other hand more rotating mass than a ball diff.

The problem is that every parts (except the gearbox or clutch housing) is rare and hard to find🙈 As newcomer in RC racing (first race in 2023), replacing (and save) as much as possible original parts was also my goal for the TOC.

The body looks brilliant…that‘s also what I go for my additional LWB runner. Regarding electronics: The resistor for a shelf queen and the vintage ESC for a runner😊

@davidsen The orientation of BH4 in the picture above is correct when using the ball bearing for BM4 (the picture should be out of the Dyna Storm manual). In the manual of the Dyna Blaster (with plastic bushing) is the orientation of BH4 vice versa. Only to avoid confusion regarding Tom‘s post😊

Brilliant job! These Martini bodies (Lancia, Alfa) are always a challenge…
-
That's the worst case for such a day...full of euphoria and after a few minutes back down to earth I would have concerns that a spur gear from back in the day will solve these gearbox problems. If you want to run your Astute regularly, I would propose to switch your gearbox internals completely to the Super Astute ones (gear diff, idler and spur gear with slipper) or replace the complete gearbox against a TRF gearbox designed from a TC member here.
-
I‘m not 100% sure, but AFAIK was the Super Astute also not announced on the Toy Fair 2024. Maybe there will be an update of the lineup during the year🤞🏻

Tamico Days 2025 - May 1st to 4th, at EDC Kinzigtal (Germany)

This year, I will participate on this event/party -
When TA released the RC10T shortly after the RC10, I thought also that this would be a great opportunity for Tamiya to bring the Dyna Storm and Dyna Blaster as counterparts. Hope dies last…

Great project and a very interesting model. Because of the shared gearbox with the King Cab and the (Super) Astute, the Madcap would also be my choice for a second class in the TOC. @wtcc5: I am really excited to see what you will make of the three dispensers. And I hope you don't overdo it with the modification, so that the waves at the TOC are smoothed out and don't rise even higher😉
