  1. Just seen this. Last night I looked at what was available/necessary and placed an order with TTP. Spent the £20 note which was in my birthday card if anyone asks
  2. That's fabulous! I wonder if there's a set of rims like that somewhere?
  3. Thanks both, best get started!
  4. I'm going to re-build the dampers on my TT-02, and have bought some Core-RC 350 cSt (silicone) oil for the job. My question is regarding the Tamiya damper oil that came with the kit - is it silicone? I don't intend to mix the oils anyway, but how best to remove ALL the oil in there currently?
  5. Bought these because the plastic flowerpots kept blowing away or falling over when I (often) hit them!
  6. Postman didn't deliver - I collected from Wheelspin Models while visiting family in the Midlands I'm going to look through the instructions to see where I might hop it up It isn't going to look like the box-art with that metallic purple paint!
  7. I'm still thinking about it. I keep hearing that it's a great chasis as-is, but a bit more bling is tempting. I can't believe how quickly I've given into temptation I'd be interested in people's thoughts on upgrades though.
  8. Thanks @Andreas W looks like a really challenging circuit Unfortunately I can't race for a week
  9. Having set a benchmark, I put some softer springs on the TT-02 and there was a marked improvement in handling. I tried a few more laps and improved by 5. My driving is also improving slowly. Then I fitted the slick tyres recommended by @TurnipJF and went for a quick spin. There was a lot of sliding (the tarmac is dry but quite dusty) - am I right in thinking that they need to warm up and get a bit of wear before they grip more?
  10. Did a few more laps of the RBP course after fitting softer springs to the TT-02 Skyline - noticably improved performance from the car (and me!) Fitted the slicks to my TT-02 and gave it a quick spin (literally), it seems they need wearing in a bit!

    This should be a "tasty" build looking forward to it!
  12. Some hop ups for the TC-01, courtesy of @toyolien Thank you
  13. Having read thorugh a few of the build threads, I realise how much I enjoy them and how much there is to be gained for the builder and the reader, so I will be endeavouring to produce one. Won't be for a few weeks though.
  14. That is a superb piece of kit, and their web page is awesome! I would so like one of these, but I'll do the TC-01 first and improve my building/driving skills while looking for somewhere to race indoors
  15. Interesting build and that body is great. Loved the old BTCC cars!
  16. Did just that today and there was a noticeable improvement (even for me!) thank you Just need to rebuild the dampers and fit the springs
  17. Springs and lights for the TT-02 and Titanium screws for the yet-to-arrive TC-01
  18. Congratulations @Andreas W that's a lot of racing! And thanks to @TurnipJF for organising. I really pleased that I had a go and put down a benchmark - just need to improve my driving! Inconsistent lines make such a huge difference, so slower is quicker I noticed that I have a broken wheel, which I will replace, but wondered what tyres are good for dry racing on smooth(ish) tarmac? I'm currently using semi slicks. Do foam insertsmake a big difference?
  19. Congratulations, what a fabulous car and a great write-up - thanks for sharing
  20. Savox SC1251MG Low Profile Metal Gear Servo - 9.0Kg/cm - 0.09
  21. TC-01 with the CLK body LRP V10 Spec6 - 17 x 2 Hobbywing Quicrun 1060 Brushed SBEC Waterproof 60A ESC I know there will be no programmable braking - I'll just have to learn to drive better! Not sure I could do the model justice with a build thread - there's already one on the forum anyway
