Thanks for that. Yes the Hunter is a light runner. . I've got some good Hunter beach action to edit together shortly... The Hunter gets around the garden track nicely and I'll grab some footage of that too......

Look forward to that, I have a real soft spot for the Marui kits... my first car was a Galaxy.. but soon learnt about the weak gears and speed control.

Keep it on topic, here is what I have done today.

stripped,cleaned and put back together with fresh grease and damper oil on my latest project Gr.B

Found a few parts I need to replace and have a replacement body ordered as the one that came with the car isn't in the best shape.

Had a few of my cars out for a spin today. TA03F just to test if everything worked, Lunch Box, primarely to enjoy my 6 year old son, and keep him busy. Drove together with him with my Novafox, and man it is a blast to drive, and last first testdrive of mt Kyosho Beetle 2014. Not completely satisfied with this. Need to beef up the frontsuspension, and had to cut away some of the body, to avoid frontwheels in hitting the body.

A nice selection of cars you and your friend have there!

That's only a couple of them my mate had his Frog and Brat out too. I did run my original pumpkin but it went crazy and crashed into a tree and smashed the shell [emoji20]

Looks like you found a great spot for some running too, I really must explore further than my own back garden...

Frensham little ponds has some great places to play. Just respect the walkers and dogs and all is good. [emoji3]

Nothing RC related but the Ducati fired up first press on the button :-) that means less time working on that and more RC fun over Easter.

Took a load of photos of some recently finished models like these two:

Then went out for a maiden run with the Neo Scorcher. Goes well with a bog standard silver can and a 3S Lipo! A few scuffs and scrapes now though...

Love that photo although I now see what people mean about the wheels being too small on the Agrios.

I took my Rising Storm to the park today only for it to decide to disconnect its rear shock tower and spit out both rear dog bones somewhere, never to be seen again!

Oh well, looks like I'll be upgrading to universals sooner that I thought!

We had the WW2 and vintage Clod out briefly today in the sun.

I've sent some money postage money to a great T.C member who has some free spares for my vintage Hilux.

I missed out on a Dual Hunter well specced, but without a body shell.

I think I'm a little closer to moving some more projects along and I've decided it's time to get my Scorcher off the bench and out to play.

Placed an order for the wheel bearings required to finish off my M-03 Mini Cooper, and pondered deeply what to do next. I think I might turn my attention back to my TL-01 Range Rover Evoque, which is finished and running, but could benefit from better tyres and a few more details on the shell.

Managed to drop my toyota Supra mid paint job, decided to just dust off the crud and lay another coat of stealth black.. first time I've done an exterior spray on a lexan body, gotta order the hpi meat to beef up the stance a little then maybe order another speed tuned motor for it. I priced a wheeler today at the lhs $175 @ the end of April. Think I might save for a week or two for that one. f4bd6b6b066681c2fc2e7690e2a958cc.jpg

Bought 6 cans of paint, ordered a can of spaz-stik mirror paint for my chrome work, and a serious set of rubber for my supra project.

I hear you on that one - the miracle of Pay After Delivery was the only reason I was able to purchase a touring car cockpit. One more week until my next paycheque!

I decided to pull apart one of my Terra Scorchers as i want to get one running. I found one or two broken parts and bent pins, but the insides were very clean and the external metals were not covered in thick grease. The metals cleaned up nicely and the plastics are sitting in a bowl of soapy water. I'm just waiting for the new plastic to arrive, and this should be a fairly straightforward build.

Just ordered 2 pairs of GPM CVDs for my DF-02 to replace/upgrade the ones I left yesterday. Had to get them from HK though so that's it out of action for a week or so!

Posted

Finally finished applying the 80-something decals that make up the Timo Mäkinen '94 Monte Carlo scheme on my Mini Cooper shell. Photos tomorrow if the sun shines! :)
