Tamiya #58154 M1025 Hummer

I just popped out the front and gave it a good blast! [emoji1]

Pulls to the left and the camber (I think) is out as the top of the front wheels lean in too much.

Steering servo must need adjusting, don't want to have to do it via the 2ch transmitter.

Goes like the clappers too lol

Looks really nice, very well finished

Tut tut... AdLav your grass isn't to scale mate, give it a trim will you 😜 Looking good. I like the spare wheel mount. Is that made for the Hummer or something you've modded to fit?

[Ad Lav]

Thanks Teamonster! Almost done!

Lol - I forgot to do the grass today.

Spare wheel mount is from you buddy at Dons place meant for a Landrover Defender and I just modified it to suit the Hummer.

Need to get down the beach for some photos - convoy?!

She runs straight now - reset the servo and it's so much better, no trim adjustment needed.

One thing I noticed is that whoever built it first attached the servo arm in the wrong place as it could the prop shaft cover. Amended this.

Just need to sort out the camber as it sits like this when running... /+\

Maybe it's a suspension issue and not a camber adjustment issue? Anybody have knowledge of the TA02?

I may be wrong, but I believe the camber is not so much an issue, as it is a relic of the chassis' origins as an entry-level touring car. A bit of camber up front calms the handling and makes the car better behaved on a track in the hands of a relatively inexperienced driver.

Handy to know - I knew it used to be a touring car chassis but not about the camber. Thanks
