What's the brand of those wheels and disc brakes. Looks really nice! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mtbkym01 4008 Posted November 20, 2020 Now for the FF03 Pro, this came up on another forum for sale as a fully hopped up assembled but never run roller, so I ended up making an offer and acquiring it. this is the list of hop ups from the seller Included was an unknown brand Golf GTI body which has a different look and is only 2 door Here’s the chassis as it arrived Had to finish assembling the shocks Trimmed and test fitted the body with the supplied white kit wheels 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mtbkym01 4008 Posted November 20, 2020 Okay, third attempt at trying to get this post up I wanted a scheme for this that I’ve noticed as a bit of a trend in the hot hatch segment, and that’s a clear coated grey primer type look. Now as that’s not an off the shelf colour in PS paint, I asked my airbrushing mate if he could do something, so he mixed up a colour and laid it down. Also, the white kit wheels don’t quite fill out the guards as can be seen above, so I went looking around for something and cam across the alloy options that are in a bronzey/coffee type colour. I’m pretty satisfied with the result, really going for the slammed “phat” look body fitted pics in next post (don’t want to retype this again) 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes mate, it’s been great to be able to spend some time in there, might only be short lived if this cluster that we’ve had gets cleared up, might be away for Xmas 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtbkym01 4008 Posted December 10, 2020 As I may have mentioned previously, I hate having bodies with no Kit under them, and of course having a Lexan Brat shell left over from my Brat kit just didn't sit well. Decided to try something a bit different, so here I present the "Street Brat" Bought a basic TT01E kit (No electrics or body or box) from ebay, built basically stock (SWB) apart from bearings, 23T Ansmann motor and Mtroniks ESC. Tried a few sets of wheels finding the right hex thickness and offset to fit so as the body could sit nice and low None of these worked for me, had to keep looking Ok, this above worked as far as offset (0), but not the style Decided to get the body painted while I waited for some wheels I ordered to arrive I like these wheels, but still marginally wide on the front, even with 3mm hexes Some black multispoke arrived and I think I'm satisfied (atleast for now) Hope you like it, I know I do 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Re-Bugged 10148 Posted December 10, 2020 So that’s what you were up to!! Looks great, the last photos towards the end with the black rims would be my pick as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtbkym01 4008 Posted April 26, 2021 Some may have seen the Lancia Delta Integrale XV01 builds that @KalEl63 and I completed recently. https://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?/topic/97436-2-different-xv01-kits-but-same-result/ Well the process of acquiring that kit had me end up with an additional bodyset as I originally planned on the LD Spec kit, but ended up with the Lancia kit anyway, so what to do with an extra bodyset, well as I think I’ve stated previously, I hate having bodysets not sitting on chassis, so grabbed a cheap TT02 first try kit, and some allot hop ups from RCJaz, knocked out the build today, still need to paint the body, but I think this is gonna look pretty cool sitting alongside the rally car 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yogi-bear 2321 Posted April 26, 2021 those kits are pretty cheap, but shipping still comes up expensive, well for me anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still the cheapest option I could find for a chassis kit. Us here in Oz really are disadvantaged presently with Tamiya currently, pretty sad really Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Us here in Oz really are disadvantaged presently with Tamiya currently, pretty sad really yeah, and yet from Asiatees, I've bought a GB-01 chassis kit (well its still to ship) for $30 freight, which also ships from Hong Kong. I suspect in that case though, they do a bulk send out through the general postage system. Whereas RCJaz seem to use proper freight companies. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mtbkym01 4008 Posted May 20, 2021 So I got some paint on the the street Lancia, beyond happy with how this turned out. It’s Tamiya PS61 backed in black, with Matt black accents. I love the stance, probably wouldn’t be practical to drive it this low, but boy it looks mean IMO 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
