Pumpkin and Lunchbox tandem build

[gogsyfinnie]

Hi all, I’ve not posted on here much yet but it’s been a mine of useful info and tips for me in the run up to building these two trucks with the kids.  I hoped they would get into it and they did in a massive way, they led building their trucks and I was on hand to help rather than do it for them.  Really chuffed with the results too

Only change from stock is bearings so far, 3D printed transmission brace and body mounts have been ordered and should be here soon.  Other than that going to let them get used to running them as they are and we can look at other hopups later.

Only downside is I don’t have one so I think a Blackfoot could be on order next payday for me!  I spent most of my childhood wanting a Tamiya RC and it was as much fun as I could have hoped for.

Great entry into Tamiya for you and the kids.

Welcome aboard and bring on payday!

Great work and amazing colours too.

I like the CW01 for goofy fun.

Great alternative colour choices. I'm sure they'll have a lot of fun with them.

Top work, great colours  oh and yes, you are right, you definitely need a Blackfoot.

Cheers all, I’ll update with any improvements we make and when the next one comes home! 👍

They look fantastic!  You'll love the Blackfoot, one of my all time favorites.

Solid color choices.  Welcome to the CW-01 camp!

First proper outdoor run was yesterday, they (and I!) loved it.  Already got the first job to do, the ESC has a deans connector but the battery is tamiya with a tamiya/deans adaptor in between.  We all hate the tamiya plug already so it’s getting chopped for a straight deans onto the battery.  I searched on here and see that’s not an uncommon complaint!

Look brilliant them....
