Ferruz 11702 Posted December 26, 2020 Between a home cooked lasagna and yet one more video call we got out to walk the d̶o̶g̶ Boss, and check out this uncanny weather we are having. The incessant rain melted almost all the snow, look at the track today! Everything was white and puffy just over 24 hrs ago.. I splotched around for a bit anyway, might as well An eerie fog topped it all up. Global warming? Probably just the right xmas weather for this nasty year! But enough of that, once again happy holidays everybody 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very unusual this time of the year to say the least, in any case it pretty much melted my track and made everything else super slushy so there was no outdoors action whatsoever. At which point there were no excuses: I had to go back to the TS body. I've been masking most of the day, man how I dislike it... I seem to have managed a tricky part, though it really took forever. Let's say so far it's Tamiya Masking Tape: 1 and Ferruz: 1. Tie/draw (I take masking matters very personally so the masking tape gets personified as well 😬😬😬). Ps this is the frustration speaking, Tamiya's own masking tape really is the best for this application, it's just that my patience doesn't go as far as its quality How do you get the masking tape to curve that neatly? I have that Tamiya Masking Tape 'For Curves' but for the life of me I haven't been able to curve it as neatly as you have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have that Tamiya Masking Tape 'For Curves' but for the life of me I haven't been able to curve it as neatly as you In the areas that need curving, I try to get the masking tape on very slowly, mm by mm, placing it with one hand and right away applying pressure on it with my other thumb as I go. All of it while trying not to overstretch the tape. I find it very important to apply pressure on the curved sections right away, as it prevents them from wrinkling while making them stick properly at the same time. Hopefully I've explained it clearly enough? It's not easy, and that's exactly why I hate it so much. Before you know it you get the hang of it though, and it becomes less heavy on your nervous system. Ps this is my method, works but takes forever, most likely other members have developed less frustrating ones? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berman 5315 Posted December 26, 2020 Stripped and cleaned my recently acquired M02L. It is in pretty good condition, but unfortunately both of the rear hubs are split at the top. Replaced a few none standard screws, put a spare set of beetle wheels and tyres on, NIP standard servo saver, cleaned and regreased the gearbox (removed all the old gel grease and put a light bit of ceramic HG in there, new 20t pinion, kept the new 4 slot Johnson, and that's where I am at so far. I am out of bearings. It is half filled, and I need to make another order for some more, so left the axles with the bushings in until I can replace them. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

berman 5315 Posted December 27, 2020 My LHS has been open for a couple of hours on Sundays for the month of December, so I went and picked up some Fast Eddy bearings so I could finish the M02L. Unfortunately I found a few more splits in some of the plastic parts this afternoon reassembling it, basically anything a step screw screws into. ☹ Also nearly walked out with a couple of budget Arrmas. But SOMEONE took a liking to a little pink and white Tamiya, and I couldn't take it home, because the Hornet that was next to it, had gone, and my 3yo boy would've had the biggest meltdown because he didn't have one. So left empty handed. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ferruz 11702 Posted December 27, 2020 Not today but yesterday. By the time the weather conditions were good to run the cars again we unfortunately had to go back to the city. At least I managed to squeeze in one more run with the DF01, the snow was perfectly powdery so the feeling was wonderful while driving, I could have done it all day lol. Now back in the city. I still have some time off, it'll be hard to find such untouched playgrounds here though I will try (been telling myself, I HAVE to keep the Manta away from the skatepark ) 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markbt73 5316 Posted December 27, 2020 Had a little fun with the Goonies Jeep (Carisma SCA-1e) on the pile of leftover dirt and gravel from our driveway paving job. One of these days, if I get motivated enough, I'm going to turn this into a proper scaler course/play area. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think most pictures are taken with a smartphone as it is more comfortable. I use a app called Lit Photo and set the picture quality down to 50%. I think it's still good enough for forum use and reduce the size of the picture from 4.5 MB to 200-300 KB. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wtcc5 4900 Posted December 28, 2020 So nice to see all you guys having so much fun outside and inside! I am busy with my FF-03 project (see Builds section) and today rebuild my (ex) ultimate club racer TT-02. It was once the full maximum of tuning option possible TT-02 (featured on the „The RC Racer“ website), but lost some of its precious parts as I build and hopupped the TC-01 and just recently the FF-03. It is a roller now and will stay in this state until the racing season starts again: 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
