Badcrumble 4204 Posted March 1, 2019 46 minutes ago, Nicadraus said: By the way, can you post more detailed pics please? Thanks! This is a chrome finish ORV chassis, still plastic underneath. The ‘all metal’ tag comes from the raft of hop ups combined with the chassis finish. For a full list and a few more photos (much better than my quick and dirty iPhone shot at work), here’s the recent sales listing. A CNCd chassis would be pretty hefty! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjorklo 1620 Posted March 1, 2019 Today I got these super rare Nimrod parts for my Dyna Storm. (if any have any of the other Nimrod parts you might consider selling please let me know) 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grastens 2795 Posted March 1, 2019 Agreed! But lately, plastic has been fantastic for me - a 1:12 driver figure from a parted-out Lotus 72 kit arrived today: I had plans to fit it to my 312T3, but as completely expected, it was too small - why do I think of these things? However, it did clarify my eventual driver figure plans, and in the meantime, I have a sharp-looking driver for any 1:12 project I might have! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hobgoblin 1059 Posted March 4, 2019 Finally I got round to picking up a shaft upgrade for my manta ray chassis - brushless power is bending the stock prop! Unfortunatly I got two 'sorry we missed you' cards which are hopefully my Manta ray racecraft body (mantaraycecraft?) and some shocks. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max69vk 708 Posted March 4, 2019 M05 chassis with plenty of hop-ups, I’ve already got the shell and wheels sat in a box so this will be an easy one to get going again, I’ve never been a fan of blue anodising so this may be removed & polished before use. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderDragonCy 7881 Posted March 4, 2019 Final couple of bits from Shapeways and a couple of other places so I can change my TRF211 3 gear laydown into a 3 gear layback. It will move the motor rearward which will hopefully help traction and make the car a little more of an all rounder. This particular one will also use an ff03 motor plate and spur cover to give the drive train more protection. Modern race buggies don't seem that well sealed to me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve not seen any springs for the wr02/gf01 and it’s a build that’s on my radar for the future, although I’ve not looked too hard tbh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_ve 1043 Posted March 5, 2019 postman has been really slow, did not get stuff for weeks. withdraw symptoms all over! Thankfully, the team bluegroove marui big bear and samurai bodies arrived, daddy got his fix. Hopefully, china-stuff starts coming in again next week again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are from the CC01 hop ups, got the alu dampers from the CC01 because the anodised blue doesn’t work with the Tonka yellow IMO.I’d prefer the springs in black but Tamiya don’t do the barrels black. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grastens 2795 Posted March 5, 2019 Slick-looking dampers there! A pair of Tamiya 4 x 4 Vehicle Driver Figures arrived, along with some spare bearings: I had one, but it was chopped up well and good for my Ferrari 312T3 build. I will fit either one or both into my Bruiser - I keep referring to these as "Bruiser figures" even though "Bruiser" is not in the name. The bearings - advertised as a complete spare set for the Bruiser - were an ill-informed purchase, as I had failed to realize the Bruiser kit had full ball bearings (even at that price!). A good off-road truck should have spares, though! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S-PCS 568 Posted March 5, 2019 Nothing really, but I stopped by at my LHS and picked up one can each of PS-1, PS-2 and PS-22. I think the green might be too bright and the red not dark enough, but it's a start. Now all I need to do is find the pics of that awesome buggy paint job that I've seen around here again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is this possibly it? Or was it this one? Those are the only two I saw with polycarbonate bodies; there is a Grasshopper II with those colours, but that shell is in ABS plastic. I look forward to seeing what you are painting! Edit: here is the Grasshopper II, courtesy of TC member Pintopower: 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both shells were painted using PS-1 White, PS-2 Red, and PS-22 Racing Green, so you have the right colours for the job 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
