Yeah I will run it, I have a couple of originals that are shelf queens, but everything else gets run.

Waited a while for this one… cant wait to build it thanks Tamico super quick delivery

Wow embarrassing, yes they were back to front, because the power was on I didn’t even check. Thanks

Hi All i have just got this R6GS, paired with a R7FG receiver, I have paired and installed(see photos), I have a solid green led and signal bard on the transmitter, but nothing on the car works, no steering servo or motor activation, I have tried 3 receivers and all do the same, can anyone help?

It’s an adventure to build, and the kit is super quality, glad I did it. Just finished a midnight pumpkin, and I can see where the extra cost goes, even without the iconic history…

@willie iine Just around the house, at this stage

Finished. Really enjoyed the build,

I got a set from Tamico in Germany, along with the rubber boots for the rack and pinion steering

Getting there, it’s been a good build, but I’m not sure why they bother with parts bags. I think they were all open by step 7…

i just got a bigwig vintage with a working technigold in it, I am tempted to put it in this, and save the Gt tuned

I am starting my Avante tonight, and PS16 for the body... getting hard to find paints here right now

yeah i normally do box art, but maybe something different this time, its going to be a runner, we had some show up on shops here in NZ, that i think we just a delayed shipment https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/toys-models/radio-control-robots/cars/electric/listing/3474625937

not started it yet, maybe this week, im looking froward to it though... just trying to decide on colour also, i have a nice gunmetal that would look good

All finished, what a joy to build, have just put a silvercan in it as at this stage I’m planing to have it as a shelf queen, I’m pretty confident that’s going to change though, no point having them if you don’t drive them, and have a BZ 23t to go in it. Painted in SILVER METALLIC ANODIZED ALUMINUM – PS-48 and backed in black…

I masked off the bottom chassis before I put it together and painted around it so I have the carbon chassis visible through the bottom, I got the idea off tamiya legends, or the RC you tube guy from Australia can’t remember which one.

that Avante look wicked in that colour

Lucky me, another kit to build, just need a few rainy weekends.

Good you found some I got mine from eBay,(clod buster ones)

Having recently got back into it, and after having a Bigwig, Supershot and Monster Beatle in the late 80's, the new range of electronics is a breeze, reliable and no need for the extra weight and expense of a second servo. If i am fortunate enough to get a NIB vintage and maybe its a shelf queen, then yeah id keep it original, but on the other hand if I own it I will more than likely run it, as thats why i do it, and the new gear is easy and reliable.

I have a problem with my VQS, it makes a high pitch whine, the front wheels move but the rear do not, then it gets worse and wont run at all, I have rebuilt the rear gearbox twice now(using the existing parts) and have new gearbox parts on the way, I run a 23t BZ motor in it. i think the centre diff is the issue but not sure on how to fix it/if it will happen again, or if there is a hop up option to the gearboxs. any help would be appreciated
