matisse 1576 Posted December 31, 2022 im back! Again….. yup, so I’m back and focussing on the real enjoyment I get from the hobby, the builds. With that In mind, help me pick what I should build next. TT-02BR BB-01 BBX Madcap TL-01B 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kol__ 3377 Posted December 31, 2022 Welcome back bud!🥳 Well I'm totally biased, as it's one of my favs, but I say Madcap! Is it a NIB build or a restoration? Overall, I guess it would help to clarify the destiny of each build... shelfer? runner? And if they are to be built to run, when and how often? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
svenb 3735 Posted December 31, 2022 How about a old nib kit? Depends on whats your fancy. A few touring car kits on eBay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Resto or NIB, not bothered, more about which buggy to work on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuggyGuy 1101 Posted January 1, 2023 As you enjoy the build process I'd avoid the more basic kits as it will be done in a flash. So how about something more complex - CR01 springs to mind! Probably the most complex non TRF kit you can find without straying into truck or tank territory! Edit: will these be box stock builds or modified? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonathon Gillham 4595 Posted January 1, 2023 The BB01 is my pick from those as even if its basic it'll be the first time you've seen one. Have you got a DB01? Durga kits are available at the moment and you can still get hop ups to build to a decent spec. I found the DB01 to be one of the best builds of all due to quality of parts and its different to most others. Also, you get a decent performer at the end of it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the BB01 is lack lustre, then grab a DB01 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gebbly 563 Posted January 5, 2023 I really enjoy the building most of all too, especially when I'm treading new ground. If its all about the build experience what about looking for something that you have never done before? Get a completely new build challenge/learning experience out of it? For me that could mean trying to get working lights or sound into my next build or maybe some secondary movement like a winch or gun turret or something. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
