Hello,

Since 2015, im following some topics on this forum which shares Tamiyas' only before. Maybe Im wrong b/c following 'The Builds' section. Im glad you are sharing other brands.

Its my first topic which looks like a topic, let me introduce myself. Im Barış,  from Türkiye. There are a little communities here, R/Cs very expensive including second hand. I like this forum cause members are very kind and they are trying hard on their builds. (And I love TAMIYAs)

I had some rtr vehicles, kits and a scratch build. Now, returned this hobby, I dunno why :)  The plan was sharing the 1st topic about that kit. Im following their topic for benefit :D  Thank you @Mad Ax @joeling 

Ordered MST MTX-1 month ago and the other parts, still waiting for servo, transmitter.... (b/c of covid transporting is very slow) also contacted amainhobbies about shock oil issue where i ordered the kit, they sent a bottle of 10wt.

Electronics 3-pole reedy 16t brushed w/1060 esc on 2S. Powerhd waterproof 23kg digital servo.

Now, waiting for shock oil and focusing paint. Its harder than before, planned bad paint schema. Which is darker, which paint should I start with... confused. Im sure i can handle it.

Here are some colors which im gonna use on this body. New can about 124-132 grams. (PS-1, 55)

PS-59 104gr. ,  '15' 90gr. , '41' 75gr. PS-41 feels like there are 1/4 maybe less paint in it. What is the empty can weight?

Snow Runner ❄❄

Stucked 2-3 times, but its was fun looking him whole run. People metioned '' Watch out TOYOTA, dont bump into that!! ''  

After run, visual check OK. Used green slime on shocks, its sticky and very hard to clean, so shocks might be good.

Im worried about other parts maybe water leaked in, not sure where to check.

How often re-oil bearings, how? WD-40, drying then oil, enough?

Custom sponsor plate build

Used acetate sheet, middle and bottom screws are longer m3x25mm with plastic spacer, from kit leftovers. Mat black vinyl wrap.

Im not sure about cutting half and using middle, bottom screws to hold. Work in progress.

Smaler, no air bubbles. Try a lot but its too hard to do without bent. Added one more spacer behind top screws. Working on stickers... :wub:

Setted -20 timing that gives more punch torque, much better but still just a little wheelie on carpet.

Great truck, and brilliant intern. I remember walking around Istanbul and being amazed by the number of cats.

@GeeWings 👏👏 

@Nikko85 Unfortunately, you may see ownerless dogs and cats in my country. I live in capital people building shelters for dog herds. Uncontrolled birth of cats, havent seen them around in europe as far as what I seen on TV. 

Salvador- intern, we saw him about 6 years ago in a box a girl carrying. He has broken rear leg dont remember left/right, had surgery, healed.

Today 2°C , punch and top speed was better at first, temperature effect on battery I guess. 

I have never seen wheel threads on other cars, very interesting.

Hope you enjoy the footage 💨

How did you resist jumping over that barrier on the right?  Would have been the first thing I did :)

Truck rarely jumped during run. I'll take another video footage for you :)

Not everywhere. West side of Turkiye is warmer than east.

I was thinking exactly the same :lol:

Truck is looking good - I still haven't painted mine, nor even decided on a livery, nor even a name...

Without modification on gear cover it is the biggest pinion you could use.
