Just need an ESC for my BBX and I can start building. I also decided to show my XV 01 some love and ordered the rear shaft for it.

Just a few more parts and I can start building my BBX

I did a lot of thinking on this as I bought my kits over the past few years. I don’t race or bash them, I just go out and drive them around and have a great time with our kids. For me buying the upgraded Tamiya parts is just a thing, I get a lot of satisfaction out of customizing the cars and I find it therapeutic. The only kit I have that’s not really upgraded is my comical Avante. I think it only has the sealed bearings and motor heat sink added to it. When I think about the money, I could save by not buying the hop ups it does give me pause. However, I don’t feel like I would get the same enjoyment out of the hobby.

That is an awesome idea to frame it.

Due to space, I promised my wife, I would only keep the boxes where they had the cars drawn on them. It was either that or I keep none so I figured that was a good compromise

I am halfway through my build on this one as well. Only bummer is I’m having a hard time finding Tamiya hop up parts for this build so, this has taken a backseat to some of the other cars I need to build. One of these days I hope to finish mine.

Just got these in the mail today, excited to start my BBX build. I just need a few more upgrades and I’ll be good to go.

Bethor started following Cost to upgrade a Sand Viper to MS spec

You’re right from wing to wing it Makes it impossible to mount correct. The screws will not line up going from the body to mounting brackets it just barely misses it. I thought it was all standardized when I bought one. Ty for the info. Great info! I will setup a return if possible.

I took a look and figured since I was all in on the TD2 I wanted to go a little bit more expensive. Thank you for the suggestion, I really appreciate it! I will keep this in mind for my next build.

How was the cable management? The cable appears to be a little shorter. Did you have to move anything around to make this work? so far all my Tamiya’s have Futaba normal size servos, so this is a new one for me
-
That’s a really good question, all it shows is low profile servo needed. I thought all would be the same but I guess not? The one I have is 44x23x25mm or 1.7x0.9x1.0

Hello, I recently bought a TD2 but, the hitec hs-77bb low profile servo bought to use in it still appears to be a little too big to fit. What recommendations do you have for a low profile servo that will work in the TD2? I am currently looking at using the TSU-06 but would love some more suggestions. If possible I would also like to keep the price under $70. thank you! -Bethor
