I finally got to start the GF01 build.

I must say I had some fun build this as it was my first Tamiya kit build in a while

Really happy with how is came out :)

Anyway pictures below can speak for themselves.

They look like a fun compact truck looks very much like a wild dagger chassis just shorted and connected to a single motor

Absolutley! Wham, Bam, Truck is built!

Looks great in silver too… I think these will be very popular!

Nice work mate! B)

Great looking machine and good choice of colour scheme.

Is it just me, or does the chassis look like a beefed up 4wd Mini? :blink:

Oh, and Happy Birthday! ;)

Not just you Falcon#5, I mentioned the similarities in the preview thread. all those gears, looks like they blew up a 4wd wild mini. I do like it though.

Glad I haven't lost my Tamiya eyes after all this time. B)

Been away for a while and was confronted with 153 pages of unread threads!

I have some catching up to do... :lol:

Looks like a nice bit of kit, and tough to boot.

So how do they drive?
