Blista 1519 Posted April 29, 2019 Nothing impressive today but crucial. Now I can mount the Bronco body on my CC01. Also got some TA06 diff gaskets for the XV01. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathon Gillham 4606 Posted April 30, 2019 The thrust bearing for the F103 wheels and more importantly a new aerial for the Futaba receiver that had one ripped off. Good to know that aerials have plugs and you can replace them, so a $2.40 aerial saved a $120 receiver. It works and everything. I was talking about ordering the aerial to a guy at my club who recently switched from Futaba to Sanwa and he pulled out a bag of receivers and handed me one with a broken aerial, so I can get that going too. I like having spare receivers but also can't help but think they need cars go go in... Both parts are for my sons F103 so we can finally take that for a test run 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd probably chuck it in the bin and buy another without even considering you can replace it since so much these days is designed that way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It gets better - I went to order another for the other rx and figured why not order 2 so I have a spare. It turns out you can buy 5 for the price of 2. They just have a little plug and look to be universal amongst all the brands as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max69vk 708 Posted April 30, 2019 More ideas = more wheels! Not sure if these are Taisan or Zakspeed kit 2 piece wheels? The minilites are HPI and bigger than the M03 versions I originally thought they were Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zxkuqyb 159 Posted April 30, 2019 Got a bunch of good things. Thanks to MCI Racing for some alternate decals: a Mampi Ford Capri, D&W Auto Ford Capri, a Silk Cut Jag, plus a few others to fit the 1/10 bodies. Also have coming the Castrol Honda Accord to fit the FF-03 stock version. Plus the Capri kit and bodies: A 156 Alfa. Probably my top five favorites for boxart, but I think if the real car had one tire up like this, it'd probably quickly need a repair. Daytona Thunder of course, the Dyna tech motor! 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badcrumble 4203 Posted May 1, 2019 Over the last few days I have expanded my tools / materials stock level with some modelling supplies – Styrene sheets, strips and angle, small clamps, sanding blocks and extra sheets, spare X-acto blades, engineers square, helping hand and magnifier (not pictured) I have so many ‘nearly there’ builds waiting for paint (XV-01T, Hornet, Chevy pick-up) that I have decided to go for a ‘slow build’ to try and develop some skills over an extended period of time. I‘ve also got some ‘dream builds’ I would like to attempt to start / finish but put off for fear of failure. These include my wife’s Mini (chassis is nearly there), a diorama for my desk at work, a custom Brat (I’m part way through refurbing the vintage chassis) and my Mini Recon. I predict a slow summer…. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

junkmunki 846 Posted May 1, 2019 I got this original Opel Ascona body set for a great price on ebay, and i don't think i've been so happy to see the postman for quite a while...

Thanks for the info, I was wondering why the wide rear tyres looked so bulbous when they were fitted. Not really an issue as they should hopefully give the right look for Street scorcher I’m attempting to build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
