Problemchild 2149 Posted May 13, 2020 @Busdriver I contacted L&L and they didn’t reply the volvo 850 has perfect decals so it’s hard to understand the thinking here JJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy pants 4485 Posted May 14, 2020 I fitted a motor to my Wild One, I need to extend the motors leads to make it go, but it looks complete and I used parts I already had which is always nice. Just bought a skate board ramp for my daughter which looks like it could be fun for a RC car! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a shame that they control freak/landl shells fall down on the finer details, especially the decals. A little more front bumper definition, some door shutlines and it would be epic. I have the RS200 to go on a TB01. I have the drivers to go in it so considering a ‘privateer’ colour scheme as the Ford set isn’t to Tamiya standard. Or just plain white Road going without the drivers, like the one I used to drool over in the local dealership while my Dad was getting his Sierra serviced. If you google RS200 images in there is a stunning graphite grey 800hp road car. Stick a 10.5t brushless on 3S and away you go!!!!!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkmunki 846 Posted May 14, 2020 As the building work continues, at a slow pace i might add, i took delivery of some racking ordered from Amazon. As i've never been able to display my whole collection at once, i thought i build a couple and see what they look like. When they are all built, and the building is finished, i think they will work really well. J 13 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dannymulder 766 Posted May 14, 2020 Gave the ta-03rs porsche the first run of his life, it runs very nice, so after more then a year or so it is nice to have a street car again and do something different then running on the beach, I had a tt-01 and an xv-01 but sold both. I have put a larger pulley on the rear and smaller on the front to overdrive the car, it helps alot with spinning out with putting the power down from standing still and out of corners, my tt-01 and xv-01 where breaking out and spinning out when apply to much throttle this one not. I have to repair a small crack in the body I ran at full speed over a twig. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Put it together last weekend and am quite pleased with it so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flare65 92 Posted May 14, 2020 Just getting back into this hobby and a very long break. I have a ton of paint and electronics on order but the shipping it taking forever to get here. Was hoping for a break in the weather to get some primer on the Wild Willy body but we got rain all day today. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E28_M5 94 Posted May 14, 2020 Two years ago I resurrected my vintage Monster Beetle with an ESC, MIP diff, sport tuned motor, new wheels and tyres, Ampro hubs and a Kamtec shell. All was well until last summer when my son drove into it into a tree and snapped the original chassis! Yesterday I finally got round to rebuilding it into a new chassis along with an Ampro central mount for the servo. I guess there’s probably less than 20% of the original kit left now. Shocks, some of the plastics, most of the screws and the servo and receiver being the main bits. Extending out the aerial still gives me a bit of the buzz of anticipation that I first felt in 1988! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
78Triumph 2610 Posted May 14, 2020 Pulled the trigger on a Monster Beetle even though I still have a Boomerang to finish building and a bunch of other odds and ends to finish up. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wooders28 4723 Posted May 14, 2020 Decided to pull the firebolt out the Boomer, and go with the Goolrc, but my youngest couldn't help but get involved. I have to lay on the floor to work at that level, (and need a hand to get back up!🙄), but she can crouch down, still feet flat, as only kids can! 😁 7 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife had a puzzle going on the dining room table and my son wanted to help with the Super Astute, so we used his little table. He gave up after 10mins (and e-clips are nasty even when you're not 6) and I was left to complete the build on a tiny low table. It stretched the build out for me at least, but still recovering! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TurnipJF 9192 Posted May 15, 2020 My postman figure is getting closer to completion: As luck would have it, I have some dayglo TS paint left over from my Arta Garaiya wing and mirrors that should work well for his hi-viz vest. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I put a small rim of Molotow chrome around the edge of my 934 wheels: I was surprised myself lol. Took it out today and had some fun on a local farm track, it was quite steep and rutted. Just a bit tricky downhill cos it wanted to roll 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferruz 11702 Posted May 15, 2020 In these lockdown times, we all know social distancing is important. This is why today I decided to set up the Big Boss for safe, contactless food delivery. Lady Pistachia is very happy with the service so far. Took some time (not that long, actually) to get the Mallards aquainted with the noisy, bouncy moster truck. But once you bring out the food, everything is much easier to accept Expression of interest... Summoning up the courage... ...and yum! 2 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busdriver 6209 Posted May 15, 2020 Recently I took delivery of a 1/35 Tamiya Sheridan. I may have mentioned at the time that what I really wanted was the 1/16th RC version. Well it may have been the Vodka but now have a confirmed order from Tamico for a full option RC Sheridan. Now there's another thread I can pester you on. I may have loads of questions 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy pants 4485 Posted May 15, 2020 Packed a few bits and pieces to post out tomorrow. Tried out my new battery charger. Stupidly set fire to an ESC testing it 😳 Put radio gear in the Konghead for a little test drive in our back garden. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
