Winner!

Truck, Is that the TS 21 gold on the wheel centers?

[InsaneJim69]

Ah yes the RWB kits. I have a Porker in Need for Speed with the RWB kit attached and a Martini esque paint scheme

Chuck, Is that the TS 21 gold on the wheel centers?

Yes

Finally had some down time and decided to modify the spoiler to look like the road car as I had originally planned.

Please excuse the gravel rash, I do have another body on order!

Wow...that looks really, really good. Great work!

[volvotech]

So, Black9, what do you charge for this service? That looks great!

[Black9]

Thanks glad you like it.

It's very easy to do, I just cut following close to the lines between the extra uprights and the original spoiler.

I then profiled the spoiler, with the off cut's lined them up with the top and back edges taped them in to place and used the original holes to mark the new ones to be drilled and counter sunk.

If anyone would like one done I'm happy to do it if it's sent to me.

Close up of the lines to cut.

Thanks!

Yeah that's what happens when you let your 6 year old child loose! Luckily I have another body on order that will be kept as a display along with a spare set of wheels.

[ChrisRx718]

Where did you order the body from out of interest? I'm not happy with how the paintjob came out on mine, so I'm thinking of sourcing another for the shelf...but don't want to pay silly money for it!

Is that colour Tamiya PS-59 Dark Blue? I hope so, it looks gorgeous and I've got a can on my desk waiting to go onto a project...

[InsaneJim69]

Colour def looks like a Metallic Blue of some sort or a Pearlescent.

James

[Black9]

Yes it's PS-59 metallic blue. I also painted the spoiler with it but gave it 4 coats of lacquer that I purchased from an auto parts supply's store.

I painted over with black to give the blue a deeper colour.

[ChrisRx718]

Nice, weather permitting I'll get some paint on the little Mazda shell soon.

I'm going ahead and ordering a spare body for the Porsche, that way I have one I can use in anger and not have to worry!

I've had a few problems ordering from UK dealers so have opted to use Modellbau-Seidel in Germany, they have the items in stock. The U.K. Dealers will have to order from Japan and currently Tamia Japan only have the sticker set in stock.

Including shipping came to around £50

I've been thinking about selling my NIB with an extra body set, what would something like that go for?

[Truck Norris]

Pop the kit number into eBay and choose "sold items", that will give you an idea.

Forgot to post this in here yesterday, second body finished. More pics: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=128380

Great job on that white GT2 Truck Norris

Saw your gorgeous creation earlier on Facebook Truck Norris. Absolutely stunning, well done!

This thread got me back in to wanting to rebuild my original TA02 SW And I ended up finding a kit on ebay from Germany bought it and got few hop ups as well. so Im going to rebuild my Original car from the 90s and build this new one.

Video of the shell in action, different chassis... interesting that it fits.

Threads been quiet for awhile. What has everyone been up to with their cars? I just finished mine today, ran it and it just doesn't have the top speed that I want. I am running a 17.5 on 2S and managed to fit a 22 pinion but it still isn't enough. Is this car basically maxed out, or do I have other options?

[Snappy1]

If you fit the speed tuned gear set p/n 53127 , you can run up to a 25 tooth pinion

[dwayne]

Alright, I'm half way there then. I already have the 25T pinion. Thanks Snappy!!
