[knotty]

As it says hello all.i havent posted on here for ages so i thougt id drop in and see whats new.I have had the chance to do absolutley nowt lately.why does work have to get in the way of a good thing?but ive finally got time to get my tamiyas back on the road and am after a new project.ive just aquired a TL-01 chassis with a scooby shell but fancy doing something daft with it.mebbes something like the land rover on kamtecs website.Anyhow i will have a look at things and decide what to do with it.never know i might even have meself a road car instead.whats a decent body supplier apart from kamtec,anyone any suggestions?

HPI make some nice bodies. Proline is another that make ok bodies. The Tamiya ones are 'pulled' the nicest with the most amount of detail and it shows in the bodyset prices.

TL01 makes a pretty good offroader with some CC01 tyres (these fit the tourer rims) and a bit of a diff fix (lock the rear and AW grease in the front) if you decide to go the Landie route. Only problem would be gearing it for slow running, smallest pinion and a crawler motor will slow it down enough.

Quite a few options with the TL01. You can even add the longer arms set from the TL01b and make a buggy or 4x4 stadium truck.

cheers mark.a few things to consider there.would i need to change any of the hubs to put the bigger tyres on or just swap the yres?

Hi! I put a 65 turn motor in mine and works well with the 19t pinion. A little fast for hardcore crawling but great fun for trails and stuff.

im looking further into this land rover and ive a couple of questions.when you say the toureg wheels etc fit the tourer rims i take it you mean standard kit rims and not after market ones?and the other thing is whats the best way to get glued tyres of the rims.

any help appreciated
