After a very long time away from driving, I managed a couple of runs on a dry day a few days ago. It transpires that my back is not quite as much improved as I thought It was sunny but cold and there were some damp patches, but really quite good for racing. Unfortunately my TT-02 R32 was not suited to such tight turns - I had been playing with settings over Christmas so that my grandson could drive it very slowly indoors and I didn't really get it back to where it should be. I also found out that it turns much tighter to the right than left I need to take the time to have a proper look, but my back is still complaining It was really nice to get out in the fresh air and drive the car though, waiting for more clement weather though!

I was in the same position a couple of months ago and after asking on here settled on the TC-01. Lovely kit with plenty of opportunities to hop-up if you wish. Unfortunately, it's taking longer to build than I would like due to my recent back poroblems, but it goes together very well!

Fortunately, I won't be fitting competition electronics

Super Build Thread!

Made a bit of progress on the TC-01

Finally making progress - just a bit! Assembling the steering linkage: A bit fiddly, and I managed to get some of the threadlock on one of the washers which made things a bit sticky, so had to clean and re-do Works fine now Hop-up steering posts And fitted to the chassis: Planning to do more this week - Diffs next. I hope they're not too complex/fiddly!

And these people get to vote

I must be getting nesh in my "old age"; -6 is a bit of a non-starter for me these days!

Fair play to you guys venturing out in the cold!

Superb build! Thanks for sharing

I do like pretty much anything on wheels. I used to own a Nissan R32 GTS which I loved and miss dearly. I broke it at a time when I was unable to afford two cars and sold it to a guy who used it for drifting. My TT-02d is based on this car As age has crept up and hills got steeper, me and the wife bought a Bambuk Tandem e-Trike. Fantastic fun enabling us to ride again without balance/mounting/dismounting issues.

Slow But I do enjoy the build process, will shortly be back on the TC-01 now the festivities and family stuff is done

A bit late I know but Happy New Year!

After a weekend doing Christmas with visiting family, I caught up on lots of posts on here!

Clever dog!

Christmas starts today, with family visiting us here on the West Wales coast! There will be some Tamiya action with my grandson wanting to drive my R32 TT-02 with the lights on Wishing all a peaceful and Joyous Christmas

Beech is a great material for workbenches, solid and stable. Having a place that looks feels great is good for your wellbeing. Love it

I was in exactly th esame position - having built a TT-02D I was lloking for something more "engineered" and interestin gto build. Following recommendations from @TurnipJF and others on here I chose the TC-01. It is much more involved and a nice challenge with far more set-up capability. Unfortunately, the build has gone on holde for a while but I am looking forward to getting back to it. I know you said you didn't want to race, but the RBP is great fun and helps to improve your driving skills to boot

Thanks for the explanation, not sure I trust any AI based on the recommendations I often receive from them

Sounds like a good idea, I may be be able to do a few laps before the end of January

My back has hindered progress, along with Christmas preparation/visits but there was minor progress yesterday. My RC "workshop" is also a spare bedroom and I had to tidy it up so that the bed was actually accessible One thing I found was that the kit washers were fouling the bearings on the rocker arms so I used some black 1mm steel washers which work really well. Not quite sure what the problem was - I thought I might have used the wrong part but when I checked, I hadn't. Progress will be slow over the Christmas period because of the usual seasonal mayhem

Great work guys!

Well done everyone, a great race and turn-out! Hoping to join the next one

Happy to be able to contribute to a bit of Christmas cheer What a great bunch of people!

Thank you @Re-Bugged, gentle exercise is the order of the day for the moment, hoping for a speedy recovery!
