Nice little delivery from Time Tunnel Models which will keep my body shop projects flowing. Paint colours look really dull in this context, clear, silver, gunmetal, black etc - it's like 50 shades of grey in here!

A Bluetooth programmer for my crawler ESC.

Planning a motor and ESC swap for my little trail rig this Easter to try and resolve some issues. I really want to get it running smoothly so I can move on to the SCX10iii I've had waiting for over a year!

I wasn't really interested in one, but ended up with a motor that might suit it and being curious about how good it is.  I have no nostalgia for one as I don't remember them back in the day.  I was just a basher with eyes only for Tamiya...

The last couple of bits for my XV-01 (that I fully intended to build stock, honest) arrived from Japan this morning. As well as a load of other stuff to make up the postage. I haven’t even got anywhere for the BZ go go, they’re just so cheap when compared to the UK.

Ummmm

Wanting a TC chassis but not wanting a TT, so giving this a try.

Ordered a kit and got an ARTR? 🤷

Even the instructions are for a kit!

Kyosho Inferno GT3 with brushless conversion kit and misc parts I gathered for the conversion. Still need to get motor, ESC , servo and probably new radio system as my Futaba 3PJ is kinda old.

Welcome to the TA-02(Ra) party. I will suggest you forget about that body and go straight to something more suitable. That Opel, while nice, will have its lower lip catching on anything and everything. I put a truck body on mine and I love it.

Tamiya don't try as hard with their packaging any more!

Today, I received my aluminium chassis for an upcoming Fighting Buggy build. It's made by Kingfly RC. I've also got their Wild One chassis which will be built soon, also.

I've a few scratches in the TB Evo 6 MS chassis I bought, so going to try to see if I can fill them in with this aluminium black pen thingy, apparently used a lot by gun owners to repair scratches. Anyone tried it?

The steering set is for my TT02 Lancia, will no longer qualify for the budget build, but I want to make it a nicer and more accurate drive!

The Subaru sat a little too low for me (body posts were cut) with the new TRF Shocks. So Ive got some new ones from Tony’s 🙂

I think im going to need to glue the tyres/put inserts in and then its ready for a run. 
 

Is Tonys Tamiya Parts a physical shop? I noticed after ordering its only round the corner (well 5ish miles)

A new unused Mad Fighter body shell, I found on a classified website for a very reasonable price.
