The E46 body didn't work out as it was too wide. Currently only has friction shocks while I'm looking around for used body / oil shocks.. Didn't want to spend too much as the goal was to use up spare parts sitting around. I hope something will show up if I am patient.
-
Pretty much complete and I'm pleased how it turned out. Total investment was about $40 (tires, chassis, and G parts for some gears) and I have a running car from parts/electronics I had sitting in a box. I'm looking for a used rally body cheap and currently it only has friction shocks but it drives!

Starting to look a bit like a car again.

A little more digging through what I have. Wheels, improvised tire foam, and the only extra body I have - Rally BMW M3! Only purchases so far are the tub, rally block tires, and the G parts for the gears. I can only find friction shocks in my box of spares so will have to do some research for a cheap option.

A little progress - working on suspension travel

Initial Progress

This will be my fist build thread and, confident that I won't come anywhere close to the quality of the builds shown here, decided to build a rally car runner using as many left over parts I already have. These days I mostly race Tamiya on road (TT02, TA08 Pro currently) with our local club so I was looking for something I can drive on the street in front of my house for fun. The added ground clearance of a rally car seemed a good choice - and I don't already have one. As the r/c budget goes on racing these days, it was time to dig through the parts bin. TGS Chassis as the starting point.

Wanted: Vintage Subaru Brat Servo Saver part C-8

Thanks. If I can find that part or a working alternative, I will get it running. Not sure what to do about the grey patch on the bonnet as I don't want to mess with how good the rest of it looks. Maybe a black bonnet? -
Part of a recent garage sale find was this Brat - does anyone have the servo saver part C-8. I'm in the USA. Thanks.

Are the FS-12S and FS-12SW the same as I see a piston and liner on Ebay but it only lists 12SW. Thanks.

I used an engine from a TNS project car (waiting for gaskets to arrive to see if it will run) and have installed the 2 speed transmission. Wheels from Ebay and I need to adjust the body to move it forward a little, but happy with the progress so far.

New to me body off a parts car sourced on Ebay. Looks better but still dealing with it shutting off after warming up. Seems this may be an indicator of warn engine. Any leads on a new piston / liner?
