Yeah they might have produced an improved version but that original Audi (and Opel ascona) looked so cool coz it looked so odd tamiya imagination at it's best IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Besides, if its an improved 'modern' version, then its not the exact same body and sticker set... I'll stick with the rare originals J Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trev82 179 Posted October 31, 2019 My first tt-01e build, thanks to timetunnel models. Picked up some bearings and have #50746 CVA dampers that will add to it if suitable. A bit daunting but looking forward to the body work! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busdriver 6209 Posted November 2, 2019 After a bit of hassle I got all of this today No more burred screws, I thought the XV-01T deserved some TLC. Also got it a silver sport tuned. Now have to work ou a colour scheme. Also going to leave more of front valance on to cover the motor. Maybe cut out some kind of grill or drill? 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J@mes 2326 Posted November 2, 2019 ^a black motor would be a nice option. I like the asterion, it’s a bargain on Tamico Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t think it takes much to cover the motor a bit more. My intention was to make more of a bash guard at the front. Maybe one day I’ll get there! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busdriver 6209 Posted November 3, 2019 Thats kinda what I had in mind. Just to make it a lttle more like a stock truck. Only trouble is now I have to think of another paint scheme Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only trouble is now I have to think of another paint scheme I liked this as an alternative https://www.streetsideclassics.com/vehicles/4618-atl/1989-chevrolet-s-10-baja-4x4 The black would ‘hide’ the valence below the front grille too and make the truck less ‘slabby’ From the side. I think there was a Hot Wheels version of this too. And I have seen images of all black with just the red pinstripe. But there’s no reason why you can’t do the old Tamiya box art too! Decals come from MCI. You’d make a better job of it than me, I’m sure! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busdriver 6209 Posted November 3, 2019 I did wonder about a Redbull theme. Ive got a set of Redbull stickers that might look quite good. I think there Nascar? Must look out for hot wheels as MCI do some hotwheels stickers I think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juggular 4964 Posted November 6, 2019 One of several servos @Jonathon Gillham recommended. Thank you for suggestion, these JX4409 servos will do quite well for my M05 and M06 chassis. (Tall standard servo on M06 was begging to be replaced. While digital servos were not necessary for bashers like the Grasshopper, I've been feeling the need for some precision steering for M-chassis. These fit the bill!) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
