wtcc5's Stadium Truck garage: Tamiya Offroad Cup report
TamiyaD replied to wtcc5's topic in The Builds
Congrats, this is gorgeous...I didn't even know this model... Are you gonna run it? -
Hi guys! I am wondering if anyone has ever fitted a Sand Viper body on the TD4 platform (even with major mod). Thank you!
-
I am just wondering how does the Super Astute compares to the Dyna storm in terms of running. And what are the chances for a re-re Dyna Storm and / or Dyna Blaster?
-
Fantastic job @wtcc5! Where did you find these bodies? I was searching for the Idemitsu Civic and the Honda Accord Aero for my FF03 but with no luck!
-
@wtcc5all your builds are so clean and nicely presented 👌... It's really a joy to watch!

@BuggyDad@BuggyDad primarily for stiffness. The chassis is so rigid now, more suitable for high grip surfaces (the local track has an astro turf surface). Second, I definitely like the looks of carbon fiber upgrades .- 1153 replies

Definitely less play compared to the original position. Basically I use 4 pieces of 2mm carbon fiber just as I am showing below: Front view Rear view Side view- 1153 replies

Impressive work @BuggyDad... I love hand made builds... I am working with exactly the same method... I am also a scratch rc boat builder (I have also built 2 brushless outboards) and I have borrowed many of the techniques I am using in rc boats.- 1153 replies

@BuggyDad@BuggyDad thank you for you nice words. The battery modification is quite simple. The carbon fiber stripe can easily be replaced by a piece of plastic or aluminum. The carbon parts definitely have imperfections because they are hand made but they are overall quite accurate...- 1153 replies

Exactly. It is a shorty that fits perfectly. I secure the battery cover with a carbon fiber stripe and two nuts. All you have to do is to unscrew these nuts and the battery is easily removed. I believe that the following photo is indicative.- 1153 replies

Hi fellow Tamiya lovers! Let me share with you my latest TD4 DIY carbon fiber upgrades and modifications. More specifically these include: - front shocks mount, - rear shocks tower, - TD2-like battery position, - Upper deck, - driver mount. All components were designed in a 2D program and then cut accordingly.- 1153 replies

@Nicadraus@Nicadraus thanks for the info. I am wondering what are these transparent o-rings.?

Regarding Plaza Jappan: the prices seem great but considering shipping costs plus taxes and duties they are not much different from those in the EU area. Am I right or do I miss something here?
