  1. As a kid I had a TA-02 and after that a FF-01 just to stare at. Many years later I picked up a set and these are the results. TT-02 Audi quattro gr.b & FF-03 Opel Vectra JTCC Both are tweaked with some nice leds ( I dislike the bright white ones but these look good ) the sets Both amazing looking cars. ( the TT-02 was a impulse buy & and FF-03 I bought afterwards because I always like the Opel Vectra from the FF-01 time ) 'was a hard find for me but got extremely lucky' Opel & Audi Opel & Audi Back The Opel is based on a street version without decals ( I have used no original decal of the set only window tape off and lights custom stickered from the inside ) The body has made so carefully in mind that if I do not like it I have everything to make it as it should be with the included set 'who knows' Lights front Lights back & Finally the chassis of these lovely cars Chassis 1 Chassis 2 The TT-02 is an amazing rally car, but even as a kid I remember the TA-02 was more of a buggy type with good parts on the set ( FF-01 also ) Did many runs and many things broke down, every time I improvised or upgraded what I could ( front steering links a weak point for harsh grippy rally ) The FF-03 did not go on a test drive yet ( I have had many alignment issues and rookie mistakes to fix ) the Opel I want to replicate Tamiya ps-23 gun metal gray is used for the body with ps-5 black on top of that.

  2. Hi. About a year ago, I purchased the Audi Quattro Rally TT-02. My goal for this build is to make the car as if it were on a tarmac stage. This means the car will be in 'low ride height spec'. Sorry, no rally blocks here. Some pics of what I'm going for: I'm also going to try to make it handle and drive in a 'scale' way. I want the car to pitch, buck, lean, roll and understeer (a bit) just like the real Quattro did. To accomplish this, I'll probably be adding some extra weight to the car. In terms of modifications or hop-ups, there won't be that many. I'm want to run the car stock, and slowly add to it to see what difference they actually make. The upgrades I've purchased are: 1. Bearing set 2. Low friction suspension balls 3. 68T high speed spur 4. Aluminuminuummumm driveshaft 5. CVA super minis 6. Turnbuckle steering tie-rods (more on this later ) 7. Different wheels with a touch more offset. I've noticed the TT-02 sits slightly higher at the front when built. To fix this, I trimmed on of the tabs on the rear lower suspension arms to make it sit a bit more level. Here is a pic of where the build stands now: Unfortunately, I was installing the turnbuckle tie rods the other day and snapped both the metal ball ends. The remaining threads are lodged firmly in the uprights so Ive had to order a new parts tree. I've tried to remove them but so far nothing has worked. I'll probably just revert back to the stock steering arms. I don't really need the turnbuckle system for what I'm trying to accomplish. Lesson learned. While waiting for the new parts, I'll probably begin to tackle the body. I'll post updates as soon as they happen. Any questions, suggestions, critiques are more than welcome. Thanks, guys.
  3. Hello For all Nikko, Technotoy, Gama, Joustra, Schuco, Taiyo etc toy rc car lover, I finally brought my 108 rc cars and 3 rc boats, with lots of NIB Nikkos together in youtube videos. The first 3 parts include toy cars, what follows are more professional model radio controlled racing cars. Enjoy as much as I did in positioning the rc cars the best way. Greetings from Luxembourg.

  5. Greetings: I recently registered on a related website, TamiyaBase. The resources are excellent, and the content is fascinating. Reading over some of the old guide books gave me a few questions, though, mostly regarding Tamiya's early racing events. While we do have some insight on their SRBs and the early racing scene (such as their their eventual demise by the Associated RC-10 and company), I wanted to ask about some of the more unusual races featured in the guidebook photos. Many of the images I am referring to are in the 1984 edition, but some also appear in the 1985 book on different pages. The most intriguing one for me is a picture of a race on what appears to be the Tamiya home circuit. In this one, a Sand Scorcher and a Sand Rover are seen leading two Audi Quattro Rally cars, and a front wheel of another SRB is seen on the far right. Right below that is another photo of the participants at a Tamiya event; models involved include the Sand Scorcher, Super Champ, Subaru Brat, Hornet, and what looks like a Lancia Rally, among others. This all appeared on page 7 of the book. What I really want to ask is: does anybody remember any of those races? Were they exclusive to Japan, or were 'leisure' Tamiyas raced at other circuits around the world? If so, what kind of upgrades or tricks were to be found on the cars, if they were modified at all? I am especially intrigued by those racing the larger-tired cars, such as the Brat, Lancia Rally, Audi Quattro, and potentially the Opel Ascona, which were a little more common in the 1980s than today... It may be an obscure topic, but I would like to know more if I can about these events. Tamiya's racing history in inter-marque events is known; however it seems its one-make events have less documentation. In the same manual, on page 18, a Lamborghini Cheetah is seen on a track - and that potentially-famous image of the 3-speed truck race, with the two Hiluxes and a Blazing Blazer mixing it up mid-race. If anybody knows anything about the latter races, I would be interested to learn more about those as well...
