Hi friends. I became the owner of Tamiya TT-02 at the beginning of winter and while I was collecting the kit, I realized that I had found my brand in the RC world) Then I started to get acquainted with the history of the brand, various RC cars that were produced and noticed one feature for myself - very often some moments in the design of the car, they are made not in order to achieve better results on the track, but in order to create one's character, a fan. And Tamiya has many iconic models that, after a long time, remain relevant even now. One of these cars turned out to be a buggy that I liked - Wild One. And I like the rear wheel drive and the old school design. At that moment, I was not ready to buy it, I was just studying it. But every day the desire to get it or something similar began to become obsessive) And just before that, I bought an Anycubic Photon 3D printer from a friend. Therefore, in order to put this energy somewhere, I decided to try to create this buggy in Blender. I had little experience in it, but I had enthusiasm and a good background in working with 3D Max 10 years ago. And drove off) Since I don't often have time to go and use the 1/10 model outside, at one time I had the Wltoys k989 1/24 and it brought a lot of fun for 10 minutes of distraction from work. But ESC 2in1 burned on it. It was also decided to use its as a donor of spare parts and electronics that I cannot print. Immediately try on a scale, try to feel the proportions and design based on the template. Then the first steps to build a form in 3D. I got an idea of how to build a gearbox, found suitable wheels and started modeling, simultaneously remembering 3D and studying Blender. Constantly printed some parts to understand how the printer works, what gaps need to be made and so on. I decided to start with the most difficult, so that or if it is impossible to implement - to abandon this idea. Or it will be easier to pass this stage and further. I thought so)) Gearbox today is already printed in the 8th version, but works nice with ball bearing and grease) Then parts of the suspension, experiments with oil-filled shock absorbers, searching for the right technical solutions. And periodic dialogues with friends about what and how best to do. As a result, several people in my close environment have already formed, with whom they have already decided that after the completion of the project, we will print several copies for participation in mini competitions). Therefore, the home project gradually began to grow into something bigger. And the idea appeared to prepare the model so that it could be printed, assembled and go for a ride) And since I became a fan of Tamiya, I decided to follow the main ideas of this brand as closely as possible when implementing my project. During development, I had a lot of questions about the features of Tamiya and specifically Wild One. And since no one in my environment has this buggy - the whole project is done according to the photos and the manual for assembling the model. It was recommended to visit TamiyaClub. That's how I ended up here) Buggy is still far from finished, I plan to post periodic updates and ask questions. I hope I can get answers here) Also, if anyone is interested, I will present here the full story from the very beginning with photos and some videos.

Well, with three little kids these days, too much work and life going on, I am thinking of selling my ENTIRE collection, down to the last screw and axle. Problem is, I have a rough idea of what I've paid for things over the years, but not an idea of what I could realistically sell everything for. Here's what I have: - A completely restored Fox with a lot of spares (including a good set of wheels)and black can motor, box, and all radio gear - A completely restored Blackfoot with new decals (yet to put on), black can motor, fully ball raced - A completely restored Boomerang new decals (yet to be put on), black can motor, fully ball raced,lots of spares, full radio gear - Brand new in the box FAV (opened and looked at, but as it was) - WRC Focus TT-01 with I think every option possible, full radio gear, box - Brand new, in the box and never opened Schnitzer BMW M3 - An all original, unrestored Wild One in very good shape, an easy restoration - A very modified Grasshopper that is nothing but a body and chassis right now. Oil filled dampers, black can motor, Baja Bug-style body, lots of spares There are also batteries, chargers, extra radios, servos, oil, grease, extra, extra parts... Everything is almost all vintage. It is generally a lot of stuff that has never been fully catalogued. :-) Pictures of almost everything I have can be found in my other posts. This is not a "for sale" post, this is a "feeler", an information gathering post if you will. Nothing is for sale yet, but when it is, everything will be offered here first before it goes to Flea Bay. I have collected all of these things over the past 25 years, moved with them through college and marriage and kids. This isn't an easy thing for me to do, but I think the time has come to take stock in this collection's worth.
