ChrisRx718 4470 Posted October 3, 2019 Pre-ordered my CC02 with Time Tunnel Models. I haven't built a car in well over a year, it will be nice to return to the hobby with something fresh. Already thinking of ways I can maybe mount my Jeep YJ body on the chassis, though. Manual isn't giving any obvious clues... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks. Yeah, seen the RS200. They have some lovely stuff. Quite tempted by the super touring Accord too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a.w.k. 665 Posted October 3, 2019 Because of the Kyosho Ultima re release hitting the shelves in the near future i thought i should restore my original 1986 Ultima to an presentable standard. I tore it apart, cleaned everything, substituted worn or broken parts and topped it off with a body i bought years ago from tc member gerolf on here. I will post some more pics in the Kyosho section on here. 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nellyle 382 Posted October 3, 2019 I thought I'd missed the boat on the Top Force hicaps tamiya recently released, thankfully Tamico had some that arrived today, assembled the fronts this evening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Biz73 603 Posted October 4, 2019 Months ago I got a cheap pair of "used" Gmade XD shocks for my FAV. Less scale but better performance. I realized I've never driven the car since, so I took it out for a run. The shocks were a lot less bouncy than the Frog dampers I had before. It's still a FAV, not a race buggy, but the rear end doesn't bounce as much so I'm happy. Unfortunately the side bracket of the light bar I had on the roof came off and ended my run. It's lost in the grass somewhere so I'll have to rig up something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nellyle 382 Posted October 4, 2019 It may not be the prettiest Top Force, but it gets used! I've wanted hicaps on a DF01 chassis since i was 10 so I'm over the moon that Tamico had some left! Also finished setting up the servo on my rerelease Top Cat, really looking forward to running that one. Â 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LandL models have got this repro done by control freax. They have just changed the Iconic class rules at my club to be Tamiya class; any non-TRF chassis so long as you run iconic spec brushed motor. I think this is heading for my TA06 for a spot of racing! Â Does this come with the injection moulded parts? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThunderDragonCy 7881 Posted October 5, 2019 Went racing indoors for the first time. Got some battle scars Was fun. Got loads of help and advice from a pit buddy, chased the setup a bit, but boy do you run out of space fast in a 10th touring car indoors! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And all touring cars are crazy fast indoors, even the 'slow' 21.5T. How did you like it compared to outdoors? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nicadraus 6199 Posted October 6, 2019 Yesterday's fun at the track... I'm very, very impressed with my FF-03RR. It performed really well and would even surpass the XVs (There were 3 XV-01 I ran/raced with) at long straights. I learned the cornering trick at hairpins while other corners are no problem with this FF car. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How did you like it compared to outdoors? True! It was fun, but you run out of space so fast on a tight indoor track in a 1/10th TC. It will certainly teach me precision and get my car dialled. Minis and GT12s seem to have much more space. I enjoyed it, and I get a lot of driving (4 x 5 min heats plus a bit of warm up and practice), and indoor is perfect for winter weather (it was chucking it down last night) but I think i prefer the outdoor asphalt track. It's a fixed layout and it suits the car, but this is great too. I got a lot of help from a fellow driver. Looking forward to having another go as i spent the whole night chasing the setup on both chassis, steering and ESC. With a bit of time away from racing to get the steering and ESC settings sorted (i had to add loads more steering angle brcause the track was so narrow and tight) I would start at a much better point. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy pants 4485 Posted October 6, 2019 Tough love today, cleaned the FAV and photographed it and a spare set of wheels so they can go up for sale. I have to start studying today for an exam which if I don’t pass then I loose my Job at the end of February 🤪. Better crack on then 😂   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
