Nice writeup and build. Following this with interest. PS: Fill up the top of the front crossmember with stickon wheelweights. That does good for the steering. Idid that when I had the Yeah Racing Hackmoto 23t in it and left them in. The steering response with the 380 is superb.

Huhey. Friday again. Today: Going home from work right now. Test the M-08 with the new Team Powers tyres on the way home. In the evening I'll iron the short for my national costume. Saturday: The National day here in Norway. This year is the first in many years where we have no obligations, so we will just enjoy the day,watch the kids in the parades, doing sack- and potato-racing and eat loads of icecream. Sunday: Probably go to the camping site and enjoy a laid back day on the beach. Have a nice weekend everyone.

Hehe. I actually thought about buying the parts needed to build a second M-05 of the leftovers. I stopped when I passed the price for an M-07 concept (but that would mean another chassis which will generate leftovers ).

I have until now kept the boxes, so all spare parts go into the box and is kept in my hobbyroom/workshop in the basement. If I get hopups I put them into the corresponding boxes, if not fitted straight away. The same way it goes for future projects. The Optima Mid 60th has a box on top of it's box with spare parts, hop ups and electronics, and beside it is the Carten M210 FWD. New tyres are kept in boxes and not exposed to light. I tend to buy in bulk, when I order from abroad, so now I have a buggy and rally box and an M-chassis box.

Hat off for an impressive build. Looking forward to read about how it goes on the track.

51021 are the same as the black that come with the Yaris only in white, or 300440075 for gold. Edit: The nr for the white rally dish wheels was wrong. The 26mm 2 mm offset variant is 51021.

When I only had the Grasshornet I used to run Grasshopper paddles or worn out Hornet spikes when running on tarmac and Hornet spikes for gravel/dirt. If you switch to Wild One rear wheels you can fit Hotshot block tyres. They are better regarding wear than the Hornet tyres and actually pretty good for bashing about on loose surface as well.

Well thought out words from @MadAnt here. @nicksincrc is also physically disabled. I didn’t knew before he posted it. When I heard about the equipment he is using for a handset I was amazed. I have seen the results he was making at the time in the RBP and after I knew about this I was impressed. I have personally no experience regarding this, so can only wish you the best of luck, don't give up, take your time and do things in your own pace.

You inspired me, so I took a break from the demo work in the livingrooms. A road next to us got new asphalt last week and I have thought about trying it. One of the junctions is large enough to make a little course for a rally car. There is too much traffic there to make more than 3 laps at the time, but still tons of fun and with flat rubber markers it does not matter. The XV-02 is a hoot to drive on the worn out Ride slicks - now with the least worn out at the rear, but when sliding at such speeds and with that grip the driver is in need of more practice.

Things has to be done. But the trusty M-06 is going nowhere, so there comes time. I love the Beetle body together with the Minilites. I see you got one of the VAG triplets. Igot a Skoda Citigo e a couple of weeks ago. Great car and I have thought it would be perfect for commuting and as a daily since my neighbor got one in 2020. We used to have a VW Lupo and still have the white 16" OZ Superturismo WRC wheels, which will be perfect on the Citigo. Everyone who has seen the pics of the rally prototype from the meeting at Wörthersee will think it makes sense .

You inspired me with this thread, so I put on the worn out Ride slicks from last year on the XV-02. I quickly lost interest for running the RBP course with it and made a larger course instead to get more speed and make faster slides. I've been watching so many Dario videos lately, so this had to be. Now when the metal threads come out of the tyres and I can hear them rub the body we can declare them fully done (and two new sets are ordered this evening.

It's light blue. PS-32 looks good and like the 917 did. I used PS-7 for orange, but pure orange (the Jägermeister color) is probably better, as it's less "red". Edit: Backed with white and then black.

@Mad Ax. That's a busy weekend and a lot of driving. May the weather be with you . Our daughter had birthday on Tuesday (and the dog on Monday), so Sunday we are having a family birthday in the building chaos. This means Saturday is full booket with cleaning, tidying and bading of the ultra dirty dog. I'm gonna put up the big tent on the fundament for the garage, since the livingrooms are full of materials and I am in the middle of taking up the old flooring, to come down to the original pinewood floor. Luckily there is only one layer of flooring here. In the ground floor bathroom there were 4 layers of floor heating cables... Sunday is birthday party 'till the bitter end. Today I am gonna run the M-08 Escort in the current Postal Racing round. The Shimizus rear are fully shot, so I am trying out some other tyres I have lying around, to try utilizing what I have. To finish off the pack and have some fun I have also brought the XV-02, so I also can completely finish the Ride slicks from last year. The weather is nice, so it's slowly time for painting a few shells I have prepared during the winter. Have a great one.

Great writeup and congrats with the result. It's always satisfying to read that the car held up and the event went almost as smooth as can be. Now on to the truck review.

Following with interest. My Dictator is complete and in one piece as far as to the broken tab on the battery door. But good to know someone is taking care of future parts support .
