Quincys FF-01addiction

Recommended Posts

Last weekend it was time for the first outdoor run this year.
Was a lot of fun and the FF-01 performed great. Only the dampers trapped some air, once again. :rolleyes: So I decided to change them.
As I got no blue parts on my FF-01, the Tamiya 42102 damper set is equipped with some black Square Hop Up parts.

The Square parts fit great and I hope that I don`t have to rebuild the dampers after every run.

Also I have changed the silver servo stay to black ones. Maybe I will change the screws to Titanium once, but for now I am happy:

Last but not least some awesome news:

wtcc and me contract a friend with the FF-01 fever, so next time we be racing with three FF-01! :D

Hi Quincy. Huge fan of you and Kevin's FF01 collection both here and in other similar forums.

I've recently acquired a Laguna shell that I want to restore to full 1997 glory. I've been literally years looking at pics of it online, and only yesterday I was able to get this one. It has seen better days, but I think it could be a solid base to work on.

I'll need to carefully remove the paint, as well as try to save and put properly as many stickers as possible. But not sure how realistic it'll be at this point to remove the ones that are not correctly placed and be able to fit them again. 

I wonder if you still had some of the stickers left from your build, so I had a bit of them in reserve. Thanks in advance!

Edit: if this is not appropriate to put in here, lmk and I´ll erase it to not spoil your thread.

Nice project! Unfortunately I did not have any of the stickers for sale. But I have a body and complete decals set to build for myself. Just need time to finish it. I am currently investing all my time into Tamiya buggys...

Thanks. Yes, it's quite an undertaking to restore it, as I need to make the stickers from scratch for it, due to the "spit-on" layout the previous owner did on this cool body... 

Ah, lucky you!! If you ever consider selling it, I'd give it a pampered life, as I crave to have that body in my collection.
