Forget the wheelie race, there's a one make TA02 Porsche GT2 championship in the making here!

^I was thinking that a few days ago. Those of us that build these box stock (aside from bearings of course) need to meet up and race these things!

Excellent work! Love the wheels.

[taisantobi1970]

sorry for that James, i'm really new here and don't know anything about forums.

Just wanted to show how my work's going on the most beautiful re-release ever

Tobi

[InsaneJim69]

"sorry" ? you have nothing to apologise for. By epic first post, I meant a very very good first post.

James

[taisantobi1970]

ok, than i misunderstood your post.

Hopefully my starcard decal set will arrive today, so i will keep you updated about the progress

I fitted in a 13,5t LRP brushless, Tamiya m2 tires on 26mm wheel with 2mm and 9mm offset, so hopefully the beauty will have enough grip.....

Trying to finish this this week....

I thought I'd pick the brains of a genius, you obviously used a PS paint inside the bodyshell. Did you use the same paint on the ABS spoiler parts or was it a TS paint. ?

[InsaneJim69]

Looks like PS paint to me, I love using PS paint on ABS parts, it dries super quick, gives a great hard durable finish and you can even get a decent shine using it too It was PS paint I used on the Tamiya Wheels for my Laguna BTCC build, which gave then an ultra glossy finish

Wow, I thought the PS paint would be more matt. I'm happy to be proved wrong, less paint to buy ;)

[InsaneJim69]

In my experience its only good on small parts, i.e, wheels, wings, mirrors etc. Apply a few light coats to get a good covering, then on the final 2 apply thicker to let the paint just flow and no more and it dries glossy. Too thin and it dries matt. Def worth practicing on a few old parts first.

I hate the TS paints for R/C parts, far too thin a paint. Its a paint for 1/24 static kits more than r/c kits tbh. Just my opinion of course.

Is it just me or is the stock drive shaft on the TA02 an after thought comprising my granny's old wire hangers and a pair of needle nose pliers, rattles like a 72 ford corsair with a bent drive shaft

Lol!

[taisantobi1970]

I saw this shaft and Instantly had to Exchange it..... Same with the Motormount. Mine is quieter than this tt02 😀

Actually they are different ;-)

PS-41 and TS-30

Also after I have prime the plastic, I back it with black before the sliver...then clear coat.

Also for the PS.

Rule of thumb, anything metallic, shiny, I would use black as backing.

it was very close, and with the clear coat the shines are almost the same as the polycarbonate - definitely more work but well worth it.

I used PS paint on plastic parts,, but they don't show the same shine with the Body shell as plastic.. so it's really up to each person.

[chickenman242tk]

I also used the ps paint on the wing and mirrors too, recon I looks way better than any of my previous efforts.

[volvotech]

Interesting. My R32 shell was the first time I tried using TS paint on the wing and mirrors. I love the way it turned out, but now you guys have me second guessing this method.

The finish is a very close match, I was only left wondering if I should've used some TS clear to protect the finish? If you guys are simply using PS, I'm clearly over thinking.

[InsaneJim69]

If its Metallic I use a PS silver before hand to help give the metallic paint a backing. I used TS paint once on body parts, but never again. Alot of Tamiyas bodies require the use of PS paints on the plastic parts, especially the F104 F1 cars.
