JennyMo 3526 Posted January 3, 2017 10 hours ago, mastino said: I want to try mounting on Cr01, single cab plus axial cage from honcho kit. Â Hi Mastino - as a thought, have you considered the rear cage from the Vaterra Ascender K10 pick-up? I bought one as a spare part and it comes with alloy side and deck panels too - I reckon it would look really good with your cab. Jx 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JennyMo 3526 Posted January 3, 2017 What have I done today? I've realised that I'm not totally adverse to box-art paintwork after all! I've updated the StumpScorcher thread in Builds too with more info.  Jx 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nitomor 2122 Posted January 3, 2017 Bought this lovely cabinet today, reduced from £650 to £349, glass on three sides and an LED. Classy little number just perfect for 4 special rigs...or in this case, a load of unfinished Hilux's 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiyabigstuff 832 Posted January 3, 2017 Dug out a 1/16 M4 Sherman from the attic which I found when looking for Christmas decorations a few weeks ago - I must have started it over 10 years ago and I spent most of this afternoon checking over the parts, trying to work out which stages I had completed and painting a few of the smaller parts. Totally forgotten I had this kit ! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dojo Dave 889 Posted January 7, 2017 Started another 67 corvette this time I think I shall make ir for me and not someone else. Of all the corvettes I've ever seen I think the 67 shape is my favorite. Silver I think with black race stripes. Now which chassis should I buy to put this beautiful body on maybe another 84431.

Rb4276 803 Posted January 7, 2017 Since we are getting atleast 6 inches of snow today. I am fixing the broken gearbox that broke off last week by the 17 & 19 pinion part and rebuilding the diff in my dt-03t. I am also finally going to get rid of the rear wishbones and add the turnbuckles with reinforced adjusters. Ii only did to the front last year. Also going to change the sway bar in the rear to the blue thicker one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My DT02 has a mushed 17t pinion hole too that might eek its way over to the 19t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes the castle i think is the culprit for it breaking by the pinion screws with so much power the motor mounts come lose after running it a few times. So i have to remember to check and retighten if need be. Im actually glad it happened cause it forced me to rebuild the gearbox and finish what i started with the turnbuckles, sway bar ect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmmmm You could have some inspiration from the one SCollins built for himself that I was lucky enough to buy. http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=110967&sid=2640 And Dave, should that not inspire, you could always go up to Bowling Green KY, http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=78844&sid=2640 8 hours ago, chevelle said: I do love a clean work space & I think you have a great area there  But I can't help thinking, It could use a bit of colour  Just to make it look, A little less Dexter'ish I like a bit of colour in my space  Wow, the clean room approach isn't all that bad, but I do dig that INDIAN decal on your wall Chevelle and I like your bench cover made with old self healing cutting mats. I have found a clear version at IKEA with no markings, but it is a bit textured on one side and it has a bit of a self healing property, not as thick, but pretty good for cheap money. I suggest a TAMIYA Wall paper design: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=53393&sid=2640 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had one on an old Holiday Buggy running 4350kv and 2s popping wheelies all the time and never noticed this pinion hole issue.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
