So, What Have You Done Today?

[Leethal Driver]

Tonight Matthew I fitted the Fibrelyte shock towers and GPM universals to my Wild Dagger. Had to drill out the mounting points for the shock towers to 3mm and used some button hex screws and 3mm lock nuts - it's rock solid. Had a quick look at the TMAXX shocks, bit of tweaking needed but should fit ok. Might turn the lower arms round to lengthen the bottom shock mounting and bring it more in line with the top, we'll see. Should probably give it a quick wipe down as well.

finished the new driver of my FAV

After a short break, decided to do a Merc dtm... With full LEDs and no body mounts... :-)

[berman]

Wow, what are you running in the Wild One to hit that speed!?

Trackstar 4000kv combo on 3s

Started the Aliens APC cockpit and well... I think it went together quicker than trying to make the Halcyon kit parts fit!

Had another result today. The eBay seller that I got the faulty Mtroniks ESC from called back and confirmed they'd received it and agreed it's was clearly a faulty item. They have put a new one in the post today!

Good result. That was eBay seller Hobby Power, also known as Howes Models based in Kidlington. Had a good chat with them and they sounded very reasonable.

EXCELLENT RESULT . and i bet Mtroniks will refund Howes as they stand by their products

Howes are quite reputable - they have a solid reputation amongst the model boat crowd. Glad to hear they are keeping up their good name.

Today seen in Nuremberg, a vintage Tamiya Promotion Truck. I found this Tamiya Europe "Racing Show" Mercedes in a old german Tamiya Magazine from 1997 ! (Tamiya journal 8/1997)

[pininfarina]

This van is great inspiration for a custom Lunch Box shell...

Looks like a Fighter Buggy RX with Dyna Blaster/TR-15T wheels and tires. And it looks slick!

As for the Lunch Box shell idea: maybe some San-S models behind the transparent panels on such a project?

[Axeboy]

Pretty much finished the Zahhak bar the motor coming from Stella.

I think the random colour worked!

[plouie]

I'm sure Carson did a on road wheel kit for the fighter buggy RX back in the day just gotta find the bookmark or link.......

Birthday frost bite run at Boxhill today

Having a coffee and a warm up at the cafe we draw bit of interest from the families with young children so I couldn't resist putting on a bit of a show

It'd be a good place to have an informal TC meet if anyone is up for that, generate a bit of interest and maybe even encourage some new members

You know you've had a good run when you need to let the mud dry before the clean up!

One things for sure, I'm not selling Willy any time soon

[Terz1]

Looks like a great place to run your cars. Sounds like a good day out.

What a gorgeous place. I absolutely LOVE the color of that Midnight Pumpkin Ford!

[XV Pilot]

Sounds like a lot of fun!

Makes me think of an event concept that I would love to put into practice one day. Get a bunch of Tamiya enthusiasts together and drive a circular route across some interesting terrain, basically taking our RCs for a walk. Perhaps throw in some Top Gear-style challenges along the way to make things interesting.

If the concept works, maybe even do a longer one as a sponsored charity thing sometime.

Set up my brand new (to me) man cave. Tamiya in both peace AND quiet.

That is a great idea. I've been thinking about a Top Gear style challenge for a while now.

[z00ter]

ordered Avante 2011 screw set from RC schrauben screws, bought a old Novak Reactor ESC and some M3 nuts (black) and low M3 nuts black, all for the Avante BS build.

[speedy_w_beans]

Rebuilt my TB03 today...

- New tub, gear cases, damper stay, front bumper, and body posts

- Shimmed all the suspension arms and IFS rockers to minimize slop

- Fully ball raced the IFS arms and stock steering, including the steering bridge

- Replaced all the stock ball cups with low-friction ball cups, and replaced the servo rod with a turnbuckle

- Replaced the stock CVA dampers with TRF415 dampers
