So, What Have You Done Today?

[Droopy1975 39]

About 8 years ago I stripped the spur on my 44003 Nismo GT-R LM and after put it on the shelf without cleaning

Today took it apart and gave it a clean, everything shinny again except the motor. I'll have a look in that later.

Spent the morning out in the sunshine getting covered in rubber 😬

Completed an old Brat project I got from Grumpy Pants, quite happy:

Hey, that looks good in yellow! I don't remember seeing a Subaru like that before. Good job.

[Axeboy 297]

Yeah, it was a nice old rescue project on an original Brat. I'm not convinced by the colour but it went on well and is certainly a bit different.

Was good to build the re-re then the original to see the differences

Completed an old Brat project I got from Grumpy Pants, quite happy:Firebolt 15t Motor, XT12 ESC and acoms servoYeah racing shocksNew bearings installedFrog tyres front and rearUsed a spare poly body from a new Brat I builtSome new parts added but not manyTamiya Hopup Universal shaftsWheels are just primerSeems great but I had to bend the front uprights to miss the tyres and broke one, doh! So, on the look out for a new one. Also had to bend the front body mount slightly to fit, but overall seems decent. I'll get the upright sorted and give it a proper test, but a good build.It was also a bit rough at first but the upgraded universals were popping out as I think the shocks were a touch too long.

This is a great save, looks brilliant now and it will get enjoyed all over again.

Nicely done that man!

What's going on here?

I'm intrigued!

[mr crispy 2293]

Wanted to run blitzer front tyres on my DT02 Rough Rider mainly for the look, which was good but obviously they didn't have a lot of grip. So I'm trying to improve that by cutting into the tyre ridges. After a quick test run around the garden it's now pulling wheelies... so it seems to have gone well. Now they look like this

[Grumpy pants 4485]

My rebuilt Sand Scorcher shocks arrived today, so they are now fitted.

I just need to fit the servo saver, front body post and a R/x and I should be back in business hopefully with this one.

I'm obviously feeling confident as I started to think about servos and radio gear for my blue Hilux.

[Grumpy pants 4485]

Oh and I had another peek inside the Willys Wheeler box which I'm really enjoying!

[cosworthwesty 645]

I finally made a start on my M-06 pro kit, I got this last July from speedy when I was in the states.

[Grumpy pants 4485]

I fluffed about for an hour just chillin in my garage, part way through a knackering week....

Fitted my MIA servo saver and even managed to bind a new r/x which surprised me!

So the Sand Scorcher is really close to being a runner again.

Sadly, nothing concrete. Put a bunch of stuff in various online shopping baskets, but will have to wait for payday before clicking the checkout.

[cosworthwesty 645]

Today I had an hour spare so I managed to do a little bit on my M-06 pro build.

tried to fit a DT-03 front suspension into a DT-01

Works like a charm

A bit of body work and some drift rims

[XV Pilot 1936]

Checked the forum about 1000 times for news about Shizuoka...

[waterbok 1282]

Checked Tamico 1000 times if they have the Willy wheeler in stock...

[topforcein 1764]

Had to put right the directors Bentley after it went to paint and came back in a right mess. Man I wish they wouldn't use that painter as he is the worlds worst but it looks how it sursposed to know

[Nobbi1977 1793]

Got burnt to crisp. Oh and did the first 2 dives of my 10 dive package

[Wez-li 1790]

Stripping the optima mid (still)

[bsy2010 218]

converted my Mad Bull to a double wishbone front suspension

[InsaneJim69 1584]

Well after papering and painting the kitchen today and also made a start on my sons room (which will have shelves for all my r/c cars etc) i had time to finally install a set of Carbon Fibre hassis plates to my hopped up TA03R-S along with a rare Tamiya Super Modified 11T motor

Dying to buy a brand new kit to build, any suggestions? Was thinking of a Honda Turbo Wheeler?

Applied finishing touches to the celica body I've been putting together for a friend (he's got a 1:1 version). Pretty happy with the result, very labor intensive but definitely worthwhile.

[Dojo Dave 889]

Painted the Willy body and some accessories, as well as Willy himself
