  1. It’s what I’ve done and it works perfectly thanks for all of the responses.
  2. Thanks, will give it a go now. Why is the foam pad there?
  3. Hi all, I am working my way through the Tamiya models and have just built my first TT-02 chassis. When I was ordering everything I went for a different servo to what I normally use. The servo in question is a budget Absima and it’s pretty large. In step 25 the instructions ask you to stick a sponge foam to the chassis. For step 28 I had to put the steering linkage the wrong way round due to the size of the servo. All seems to work ok however the steering is very slow due to the servo saver sitting right on the foam pad. I take it I have either done something wrong or I need to buy a different servo. any advice welcome.
  4. I’m intrigued and excited by this fingers crossed it’s great.
  5. I really need to get myself a Grasshopper
  6. Amazing! I’m intrigued by the XV-01 chassis, the motor goes in the front doesn’t it?
  7. Managed to get one while they were briefly in stock at Jadlam
  8. I’m getting pretty fed up with the lack of stock of everything in the U.K. at the min. pretty sure Jadlam will just say they don’t have any updates. They’re a good bunch at Jadlam though.
  9. I have the same chassis and have really enjoyed your posts. I bought mine back in 2003 and it hasn’t run since about 2008/9 and I need to do a rebuild. Nitro is fun when it’s working. When it isn’t working it’s very frustrating. You are right the kit was only expert built.
  10. The only way this would happen on mainstream media is if there was a real RC resurgence in the same way Lego has come back into popular culture. Or if Chris Harris who is a Tamiya geek could pursued the Top Gear producers to let him do a segment on the company.
  11. Just as way of an update, I bought a soldering iron and managed to resolder. I wouldn’t say it’s the best job in the world but it’s worked!
