i have the patience to make very nice bodies. But i am terrible at making color choises and color schemes. So the best thing for me to do is stick with the box art. i only make bodys for on road cars. And i like the original race liverys of the cars i buy. I never make off road model due to the lack of an off road track in the eara. I wish there was one.

A lot of rain here today, so a perfect day for finishing some bodys.
The mitsubishi is an older body, so the decals where a little old and needed some extra attention.
The ford focus decals are a lot thinner and easier. But unfortunately there are no sponsordecals. So a white test car it is .. (not finished yet)

My favorit are absolute the F104W gp and the Group C chassis (both on foam tyres).
My least favorite is the TA08 and the TA07.-

Look closer. Whole joint moves, not only central shaft.
It should be stiff connection, because from one side there is a bevel gear and on opposite bearing.
@Old_Corny are you sure, that you used correct gears on correct places? That which are inside of diff are similar to gears used at ends of joints.
There is nothing which keeps the joint in place. If you remove the central shaft , the joint wil come out. If you put the o ring in, the joint wil be pushed forward en kept in place. (there wil always be some play).

The TT01 and TT02 are by far the worst on road chassis tamiya made . All the plastic in plastic joints, all the slop. The TA03 would have been a much beter car (except maybe for the belt for parking lot bashing.) But.... Since the Tt came out i have been racing it at club races and Tamiya cup races. And i love the chassis. I have bought TRF420, Xray T3 and T4, mugen MTC2 and every time i went back to the TT02. I love working on it. It only needs a few hop ups to make it a bit beter. And it will never be as good as a TRF (and friends) But the fun i have with the TT is priceless. I love realistic bodys. I love the simplicity and the low cost of the parts. No stress during racing of breaking something and go bankrupt.
So for me it is TT al the way

On tamiya bodys where the wheel arches are well marked i use a acto knife. On other touring car blob bodys, i mark the wheel axle and use this (i have no idea how this is called in english). No need for cutting with siccors or sanding.

now that tamiya has a new Fwd chassis, i hope they wil put some old bodys on it. I would love a peugeot 306 maxi, honda accord PIAA and a nissan primera calsonic.
And if tamiya would bring out the TA03F and FF01, that would be great.-

On some of the older trf cars indeed. But if i am correct these balls are smaller then the normal 5mm balls. These arms are used on several modells and on some the stabilizers are mounted on normal 5 mm ball mounts

These are arms of some older TRF cars (417, 418?) And on those cars these are attachment point for swaybars.

What annoys me the most...
Is that Tamiya stopt making F1 cars. I had the most fun at my track racing the F103 and F104W GP. But Tamiya seems to have abandoned the F1 model. So now i drive a Xray. But ik would love a new Tamiya F1 (F105?)
