chevelle 997 Posted September 12, 2015 So I ordered some brat wheels, can I put paddles front and rear on these rims Not if your thinking of the Scorcher sand tyre, the rim's for those are the smaller 3 piece ie: hornet/frog/scorcher . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dojo Dave 889 Posted September 12, 2015 Not if your thinking of the Scorcher sand tyre, the rim's for those are the smaller 3 piece ie: hornet/frog/scorcher .Ok I was looking at them last night comparing and that's what I figured.. thanks. For the heads up though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
z00ter 392 Posted September 12, 2015 made some changes and almost completed to 2 of ma TA02s, first the change, my TA02 with frp set had red gear housing, thanks to the TA02sw rere and Tonys Tamiya parts i am upgrading/changing to silver gearbox housing: not completed will finish later, also 99% completed my "usable TA02" (steering completed , just motor, servo etc to complete. but the best thing i did today was see my neighbours Dino fire up its brand new refurbed engine !!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
z00ter 392 Posted September 12, 2015 Well I took this apart months ago when I saw it had a cracked frame and wrote it off as a scrap box Then I decided it's a vintage Subaru brat 58038. First 100 it deserves resurrection so, so far we have this I'll switch out wheels and get the other bits over time but it's coming back to life. Perhaps just to sell, but it is coming back to life seeing this, makes me WANT to restore Tamiya, good job if you think to sell (and not to expensive lol) let me know!

Leethal Driver 86 Posted September 12, 2015 13 miles and about 2000ft of ascent over the southern part of the Mountain Ultra course, took in some stunning views. Found a couple of good trails through the plantation at St John's, noted for future reference! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobbi1977 1793 Posted September 12, 2015 Found enough spare parts to build a Mad Bull but I have a set of Mad Fighter wheels so it might end up as a hybrid. Think I will refresh the shell and lob it on eBay, to many models at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

speedy_w_beans 4272 Posted September 12, 2015 Painted a Group C R91CP shell today. It'll wait with the other recent shells for decals this fall/winter. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dojo Dave 889 Posted September 13, 2015 I ugh dropped the hammer on a re re brat, I hear it come with a hard shell and a poly shell so I'll swallow the $116 delivered and perhaps built it and sell it my original is coming together nice. And I have ordered wheels, have any of you guys fitted alternative tires to brat wheels.... I'm still wondering what the logic is but it's still under the twenty model mark.

Grastens 2795 Posted September 13, 2015 Today, I renewed my TamiyaClub subscription, and added my new radio's SR410 receiver to my Striker. My original DX3C will be arriving tomorrow, though, so it may go out again - good thing I left the original receiver in there, too! My birthday is tomorrow! Perhaps that is why I got motivated to check out a re-release Lancia 037... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dojo Dave 889 Posted September 13, 2015 Tinkered with this guy for a bit and then I remembered I had a gas can filler so I put it on then I messed around with the vintage Brat chassis, had unfortunately forgot to replace the vintage servo trays the new chassis came with a re re cross bar that just won't do and th hen I removed the nerf bars as I'm not keen on the look....

Truck Norris 2237 Posted September 13, 2015 Made some more vinyl stickers with my new cutter. Fantastic bit of kit and amazing how small it can cut! Recaro, Arai and Sabelt logos to brighten up the generic unbranded harness and helmet stickers you get with the cockpit sets: Michelin and OZ logos for my Escort WRC wheels. OZ ones are Just a test, I'll redo when I have red vinyl. Michelin font not quite wide enough either: Toyota tailgate lettering for my Mountain Rider: 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sandster 285 Posted September 13, 2015 Finally painted my original monster beetle body. It has taken ages to get round to do it due to a new 1:1 car that needed some attention and a wee health scare a few weeks ago (all ok now). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marhun 6 Posted September 13, 2015 Went in to my parents loft today to get my kids twin pram out for my sister in law. Then couldn't find the wheels, argh wife is going to kill me. Then checked my loft as well and still no joy so I return to my parents and proceeded to tear theirs apart and not only found prams wheels but more importantly these gems. Sod's law though, a few hours earlier I had ordered a set of spikes from time tunnel for the basher beetle I am restoring for my son. Ying and yang and all that. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nitomor 2122 Posted September 13, 2015 Took a couple of pics of the Bruiser today before I do some more work on it just in case I consequently mess it up (stripping the shell down for a wet sand and re-coat of clear). 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Truck Norris 2237 Posted September 13, 2015 I've been painting bodies to stockpile ready for winter. Two more done today:Not been happy with the translucency of some of the lighter colours I've done so decided to try painting the inside black. Worked really well, totally opaque even in front of a strong spot lamp.I now have 16 bodies in various states awaiting chassis builds:12 here, the rest not pictured because I forgot about them until I'd uploaded the pic 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
