Jason1145 3986 Posted January 5, 2017 Lots of stuff accumulated over the last couple weeks! Castle 6900kv motor (3650 can) DT03 Neo Fighter with some goodies A £16 2.4Ghz radio set - which can't be beat for value - period! A Carbon Fibre rear wing for either Manta Ray or DT03 DT02 D Parts 2 x new Gens Ace Lipo's 1 x 2s 4000Mah 25C Hardcase 1 x 3s 3300Mah 25C Softcase. Looks like these newer lipo's come with a thicker plastic shroud on the balance connectors, should help with pulling them on and off the charger without fear of ripping them free. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leeroy33 17 Posted January 10, 2017 Today's delivery, belts and pulleys were easy to find but the lower front Jxr suspension arms were hard to come buy, ended up emailing Tetsujin and they came up with the arms from their shop on the street, not their web shop. Emailed me photos as well to show me product before purchase. Received them today from Japan and they sent them Friday. Highly recommended. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badcrumble 4204 Posted January 10, 2017 Have just received a Mini body for my M03 restoration project. It is numbered 1825124. It appears to have some moulding lines across the bonnet area (scuttle on the 1:1) and running through the rear windows and across the roof. Is this normal / common?

It appears to have some moulding lines across the bonnet area (scuttle on the 1:1) and running through the rear windows and across the roof. Is this normal / common? Just looked over all three shells that I could grab on short notice, Your mold line looks most like my GREEN Mini with the 3D grill, proper shell for the 58149 kit as seen here by member OCD, he painted one for me and now sadly I can see I have not posted that little gem here on TC anywhere, SHAME ON ME. I owe Steve(OCD) BIG TIME as he did an impeccable job on the paint for mine. http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=41890&id=2400 Where I can't make out your roof and rear window mold lines, I do think they differ as the later "Racing" shell has the rear mold line pretty much in line with the body post holes. Here are a couple of links for that style body, the "proper" m-03 shell IMHO http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=125658&sid=2640 http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=121968&sid=2640 And here we have another member with both bodies side by side, but you can't really make out the mold lines all that much, which is a good thing right?? I mean if there will be mold lines, they ought not impede the drooling over the nice sexy curves of the Mini now should they??http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=59169&id=16314 So, to sum up, yep the mold lines are there, they differ a little based upon the version, I haven't gotten my hands on the RALLY version Mini which the body takes after the 58149 design with the chrome plated styrene bolt on front grille, so I can't tell you if the mold lines are same or yet again different, but for the most part M01 has more of an ARCH from mid front fender toward the base of the windscreen and the later M03 version has more of a straight across the fender/hood dissecting the front body mount holes nearly in half. The rear mold line seems to cut straight through the rear windows across the roof on the M01 and the M03 version seems to only interfere with the last bit of the rear windows as it then has an arch across the roof line again very near the rear bodypost holes, but not cutting them in half. Hope we are better informed now and not better confused. LOL 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ukfox 347 Posted January 10, 2017 My pair of MIP monster beetle ball diffs finally arrived today, Yay. 30th december I got the ransom note from royal mail (£27.35), which I payed online. After which they decided to lose the payment, and after a couple of phone calls, it was all sorted out. As I only have 1 monster beetle, does this mean I have to get another ORV ? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still pretty green when it comes to RC so was a bit dismayed when I saw the lines on this beautiful shell but I can see from the photos you linked (especially in that third mini) that only the rear windows will be affected once the remainder of the shell has been painted. Knowing that all the different versions will be affected in some way means that I can relax. Phew. My shell is stamped 58149 though was billed in the seller's site as a Monte Carlo shell. And will I really care about mould lines once I have butchered it trying to trim it and mucked up the paintjob?!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carrera124 80 Posted January 10, 2017 Got a second BMW M3 Autotech body, but had no TA-01 chassis. But fortunately, here in Germany the XB Jägermeister BMW M3 DTM was for sale (99€ ) so I put the Autotech body on the XB chassis, and will use the Jägermeister body as a spare part. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And will I really care about mould lines once I have butchered it trying to trim it and mucked up the paintjob?!! So, glad I could help, we are all a bit green on certain aspects of RC, I am and was green on the M chassis till I dove in head first. I have far too many bits and bobs and half chassis, but my goal is to get them all going together and sort out which ones stay and which ones go on to new owners. Where I love the simplicity of the M3 chassis, the M1 is nice in its over the top difficulty and overengineered bits and then there is the sleek M5 chassis that I haven't tangled with just yet, I have one here waiting for the opportunity, but haven't done anything with it yet. I have heard HORROR stories about skipping or missing a step based on which wheel base you are building and it takes some time to figure out just where and what has gone wrong, so I am going to save up my patience for that build/rebuild. I think the Monte Carlo body would be the same as the 58149 mold due to the fact that the change on the fog lamp brace and such is only in the chrome plated styrene department as well as the decals, so your information sounds solid on that end. YES< good luck on the trimming and the paint, I have TamiyaManDan giving it a go for my MC Mini body as we speak, he has more patience, heat and time on his hands than I do. I finished trimming the unpainted/ began to be cut body I got a few months ago and I was highly frustrated with the curves in the wheel arches which is precisely where the previous owner gave up. I can attest to the VW Beetle being a real bear to cut, doesn't seem to have one straight line on it anywhere, I am more afraid of how that one will come out with its nicks and arches. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
