Illogical 141 Posted November 1, 2016 I soldered a rear LED on the Unimog and fitted a GPM steering upgrade to the CC-01 Pajero (perfect fitment, just like the kit on the Unmog). I also charged up all my NiMh and NiCd packs ready for the next outing. So, What Have You Done Today? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It feels like this is going to be quite a competent rig, I'm really looking forward to running it. Still waiting for the universal drive shafts and other bits so I can finish it! Check this out... but it's for collection up near Newcastle http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TAMIYA-R-C-TOYOTA-TRUCK-/142166751670?hash=item2119cc79b6:g:oTsAAOSw4GVYF8rT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nitomor 2122 Posted November 1, 2016 Ha, yeah, a bit far for me great value if it goes for that price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

i_am_scarecrow 913 Posted November 1, 2016 Today I mostly made a mess- I finished the FF02 upgrades, popped a new motor in the M03 and put together a long list of parts I want for the TL01 on the left. Quite a productive day really. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't have the la conversion yet, if the parts come up for a reasonable price I'll snap them up. Stupidly I sold a genuine la a few years ago, should have kept that one really!

Nitomor 2122 Posted November 2, 2016 Ignorant suggestion as I've never had a TL01, but if you want long arms, would the WT01 arms not work? Amarok (Narrow - for a truck) or regular, I thought they shared a lot of components? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InsaneJim69 1584 Posted November 2, 2016 The TL01LA has longer arms buts keeps the exact same touring car width as a regular TL01. The LA is just a similar setup to the TRF cars. Meaning the front C hub sits inbound on the lower arms instead of sitting outbound. James 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InsaneJim69 1584 Posted November 2, 2016 Just took out the Mtroniks RV15 ESC from my Monster Beetle and popped it into my sons rebuilt Grasshopper. Also removed the Reedy MVP motor and replaced them both with a LRP Quantum ESC and a Reedy KR 12x2 Mod motor, needless to say powered by my Turnigy Hardcase 100C Lipo its just bonkers fast. lol, have had to turn the throttle down to 60% for now as from a standing start and full throttle it just wheelies and backflips onto its roof !! Now looking into making a wheelie bar for it to keep it from flipping over on acceleration. Something like this looks cool ........ James 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nitomor 2122 Posted November 2, 2016 Thanks for that explanation James, makes sense now. That wheelie bar looks good, I have a few of those shocks off my Fighter Buggies, I might have to have a go at making a similar sprung wheelie bar at some point!!

StrokerBoy 772 Posted November 2, 2016 Became briefly enthused about my stalled Lowride Pumpkin build (a vision came to me in a dream... ), tried something, didn't like it, stuck it all back in the garage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

berman 5315 Posted November 3, 2016 Got home after a 13.5 hour day and since the missus and daughter went for a stroll to the dairy (store), I decided to give my dump truck a quick run. Only lasted 2 mins before I clipped our wheelie bin (at walking pace I might add) and I noticed the steering went. Figured I had stripped a new servo, but on closer inspection... First time I had done this! Quick rustle through the spares and I was away again 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nitomor 2122 Posted November 3, 2016 Thanks. Fingers crossed for the Tamiya Fair then, only 16 days to go!! Tamiya Fair would be the correct place to make such an announcement I guess, I imagine the demand for Bigwig would be huge globally, and in Japan alone must be immense. All their 2016 shortcomings would be forgiven if they deliver on this. I'm feeling some excitement and hope for such an announcement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
