  1. Still on the hunt for the bits above, so if anyone knows of a supplier who can assist, or who has some of these unused in their life I'd happily exchange cash for the blue stuff! Luke
  2. L and L Models do a repro with light buckets, you can find that here. Luke
  3. An interesting project there! My first Tamiya was a TL01 so looking forward to seeing this develop. Luke

    LRP S10

    Thanks Sosidge! I think I'm set for normal race cars with my WTCC KRv4 in build and a 420X on order, but was thinking of this one more for fun club events in an open class. Seems from what you're saying that I might just be best playing with TT-02s at a low level and then building up to the 420X in time. Luke

    LRP S10

    Has anyone on here had any experience with the LRP S10 TC3 for club racing? I've got plenty of Tamiya kits that I enjoy, but there's something about an LRP model that takes me back to the early 2000s then I ran their ESCs in my models. https://www.tonisport.de/en/car-kits/touring-car/54627/antix-by-lrp-s10-blast-clubracer-non-rtr-1-10-4wd-touring-car?c=4469 Interested to hear any opinions on it, looks like a fairly high spec for a low cost car. Cheers! Luke
  7. Hey all, Just a quick one as someone who is relatively new to racing, but can anyone explain to me the current trend of body shell painting where all the pros race cars painted a single colour? Historically, people used to have bright, technical designs like Marc Reinhard's bodies from back in his TRF days, but even he's gone to a single colour now. Previously, I'd spoken with a painter who told me that he advises a split design with light colours or white by the front wheels and a contrasting rear as it aids in knowing your car's orientation if you spin/crash, but I'm assuming this isn't a problem for pros. Anyway, that was my question, hope you're all well! Luke
  8. How much would you want for it? Thanks, Luke
  9. Do you have a link to the part? I’d be interested to try it in one of my other TT-02 builds. Luke
  10. I am away just now, but I'm told that the parts have arrived. Now I just need the spool! Luke
  11. Hey Scott! All quiet here I'm afraid, there were some event cancellations in the last month so I didn't get to race, and a bunch of parts supply issues. I do have some cool stuff on order from Kevin, and I did get to a race track last weekend, but that's more to do with the day job as my clients were racing. Here's their car: Cheers, Luke
  12. I haven’t had any time to tinker with my cars of late, so seeing this makes me so happy! Cheers, Luke
  13. Hey people, Just going through my box of bits from building my TT-02s and I've ended up with some parts and tools that are surplus to requirements. List below: - Tamiya #53440 On-Road Tuned Hard Spring Set x2 @ £17ea +P&P - TRF #42199 Ground Clearance Gauge for Off-Road Car x1 @ £25 +P&P
  14. Another of us with a Tamico delivery today…
  15. My second Tamico delivery arrived! This one was basically the "Luke F'ed Up & Forgot Stuff" order so there were few suspension components, wheel hexes, a rear suspension mount that's actually a front suspension mount (RC Racer style), and some electronics (ESC & receiver). Here's the cause of my second mortgage. And after half hour tinkering to put some of the parts on #2. Having left the house at 5am today, I didn't feel particularly motivated to clean the workbench off and spread the parts out for a proper photo. I'll get on it tomorrow afternoon no doubt. Anyway, no real change but a little bit of satisfaction knowing that the suspension can be roughly set tomorrow. Luke
  16. Can an admin move this to the builds forum please? I realise it’s in the wrong place and perhaps it’s better over there. Thanks Luke
  17. Hey guys! So it's been a week, and a lot of the parts I'm waiting on still aren't here, but I have been tinkering. I got set up to build the SR (Chassis #2). And kept #1 alongside for comparison. Copied RC Racer's weird suspension setup. And moved from the dining table to my office. After some shipping delays, I'm expecting my second Tamico delivery tomorrow. With this I should be able to get #2 much closer to running. There's plenty of blue screws to be putting into these cars, but they can be swapped out later. Oh, I also have to start building up stocks of shims to remove play, and go collect another body from Model World in Sittingbourne. The plan is to have that painted up to recreate the livery of one of my real world race car designs. Anyway, that's it for this evening, I'll probably do some more to the cars on Tuesday so hopefully they look complete-ish by then. Luke
  18. I cannot wait to get my hands on one. How close to the final version is this? Luke
  19. Morning! That thing I said was arriving, it arrived. Early morning deliveries are the best, but they can also the worst if you know what I mean? I must resist the urge to start building when I have actually client work to do... First delivery from Tamico, a second order for some bits I forgot is being placed imminently. Side note this ESC is no longer legal for the EECC/King of Clubs series because the 2022 ruleset was updated between the point of order and today's delivery If anyone needs a Hobbywing XERUN XR10 JustStock ESC (Product Code HW30112000) this NIB one will be up for sale shortly. Now, off to do some work and pretend I don't want to be building Chassis #2. Luke
  20. Hey GeeWings, thanks for the comment, I’m having so much fun! For me, RC was always just as much about the build as the driving, and I work crazy hours so don’t mind investing in my happiness. Spending time building a spec I like and making a car my own was what hooked me when I was a kid, and coming back to that is making me reminisce about street bashing my TL-01 with my mates, it feels good to get back to that! Luke
  21. So racing on Friday night at SRCC was cancelled (on Thursday evening) - I really should keep an eye on the FB page more! Unfortunately one of the guys running the evening fell sick, so I hope whoever it was that was ill recovers quickly! Not racing, it turns out is worse for my bank account than racing, and I've spent an exorbitant amount of money on Tamico to prepare the second chassis for Eastbourne/King of Clubs. No photos of what's on order just yet though, because it should arrive tomorrow! Anyway, a little update tonight was all, but I'm a very excited boy. See you tomorrow I guess... Luke
  22. And you’re willing to part with them all? How much would you want? Luke
  23. Duplicate thread, please can an Admin delete. Thanks
