Grotty Otty 868 Posted March 5, 2020 My second Skyrc Toro TS50 arrived for the Tt-02b. I'm bit of a fan so may order another for the M-06 when I can get another Blue Brushless 13.5t motor off the flea Bay. Nice to be able to use one program box for multiple cars. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisRx718 4470 Posted March 5, 2020 Following my Customs charge (£14.30 ) I collected my recent parts haul. This is to allow me to finish a GF01 after buying the gears and chassis last year and doing nothing with it. I definitely could have just bought a whole GF01 kit for what I've now spent collecting parts and a suitable bodyshell, but where's the fun in that?! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisRx718 4470 Posted March 5, 2020 5 minutes ago, Busdriver said: Which one is that? Nothing exciting; just another Jimny Wheelie body. I wanted the Toyota Pickup but it was never released separately from a kit, sadly. You could buy the clear shell, accessories and stickers all separately but it would have cost in excess of £60, whereas the Jimny is readily available for around £25. No brainer unfortunately!

Cynan 520 Posted March 7, 2020 New propeller shaft and cups (I have the originals but as I’m going to run the car and they are ‘hidden’ I decided to beef the internals up whilst keeping the originals safe in the parts box), tyres, a reproduction shell (the old one is cracked and painted in both sides!) and a custom due card ...and then after going to pay the duty and collect the item and a bit of shopping too... Futaba 3PV, Hobbywing 1060 ESC, charger, battery, press parts pack and RED SHORT CVA SHOCKS ! So happy right now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was never a specific fan of the clodbuster simply because I had one and because of the size of it I was forever moving it out of the way and I got tired of it!, Why can't tamiya do all the black edition boxes like this one the monster beetle just got a little sticker on the front and sides? Agree. They are all over the place when it comes to deciding how to present the Black Special kits. No consistency at all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TurnipJF 9192 Posted March 7, 2020 Today I received a nice silver alloy ballraced steering assembly for a TT-01 - which was a bit annoying as I thought I had ordered one for a DF-02. I checked my order thinking that I had been sent the wrong item, but no, the mistake was mine, so I have just ordered another, correct one this time. I just hope it makes it here in time for next weekend's outing to Robin Hood Raceway! On a happier note, I now have an unexpected steering upgrade for my TT-01 rally car, the only one in my fleet not already running ballraced steering. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was planning on getting a Hornet at some point;Â and the wife wanted a pink, esay to drive car. Of course I then needed a comparable car to race around the backyard with her. At least that's how I justified it all. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
