mtbkym01's project thread - Latest “1997 Worlds Winner - Yokomo MX-4 Super Dog Fighter”

Recommended Posts

Haven’t changed the title yet coz I’m still waiting to finish the final details on the Rough Rider, but I’ve just secured a Hopped Up FF03 Pro, new built chassis, and Golf GTI body. Pics and list of hop ups are from the seller, looking forward to getting hold of this, it has me intrigued for sure

The “correct” scale numbers arrived from MCI, the really unusual thing is that an optical illusion makes the 7’s look larger than the 9’s, but when overlaid they are the same size. I chose 79 as that is the year the kit was released, and this one is an early vintage as we have discovered so had to be 79 yeah? Will get some outside pics this weekend hopefully and get it uploaded to my showroom.

for correct font sizing rounded and curved numbers and letters and slightly bigger than other numbers and letters and that's why the 7 doesn't right.

It’s all good, I figure in the 70’s, the quality control wasn’t great 😂

My next project is something a little different. I’ve been wanting to fix up my hobby shed into something a little more comfortable and clean and tidy. I managed to pick up lots of framing timber, and a few wall panels (will need to buy some more of these though) for nothing, so what better excuse to crack into it. Here’s what I’m starting with:

first job is to empty it so as I can build the internal walls, Hope we aren’t expecting company who will need to stay over, as the spare bedroom is gonna be looking after RC cars for a while

I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

If your car builds are anything to go by, you'll have an amazing RC room that will be the envy of many. B)

The hardest part I'd imagine would be finding somewhere to put everything while you complete the works. B)

Work continues, it’s actually a tilt door there that had some big hinges and springs that needed to be removed first, and that was quite a task as the springs were stretched in place that wanted to recoil as they were released in quite a rapid fashion. First one went bang and flew through the air :ph34r:, second one I learned a lesson and strapped it down and wrapped it in blankets, much safer.

Got started on the wall frames, I’m about halfway through, then I’ll need to start to think about the ceiling

I don’t have time to mow it, too busy racing and rebuilding/restoring oldies 😂👍🏻,  The pine needles from over the side fence annoy the crap out of me though
