Dazibao 58 Posted January 2, 2021 Box art F-350 with Tamiya ball bearings set & MFC unit. Hooked up to an older iPhone mostly playing classical music - listen to podcasts etc. 5000 Mah. Battery will play music and provide lights for hours maybe even a couple days. Built during lockdowns, it took me 2 weeks to complete, one of my favorite Tamiya kits. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moffman 5752 Posted January 2, 2021 My tomahawk is my most recent build didn't take as long as I thought it would because the diff and shocks are already pre-built although you still have to take the shocks apart to fill with oil but just like the optima it was a superb kit absolutely seamless and total quality👍 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like that you paired it with a brushed Mega motor. Works with these classics 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silverado 281 Posted January 7, 2021 Just finished this last night. From my rc top 10 all time most wanted list. the Blackfoot. ( will do all the 80´s monsters one day, so far this and Clod are only ones I got). I need to practise on the brush painting, the Ron´s fase is a bit tired, lol. Loving the Tamiya spray paints , after polishing and decalling it is really nice finish. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My next kit will be a road car, main problem is i do not have any close place to run them, least of all F1 but i have always been very facinated of the perfect lines and contructions of those wonder machines, started with me playing Simulator Grand Prix Legends on PC (simulator game), i just loved the colour theme and look of Lotus. A pitcure from the Game (with mods still good today): If i only had slick asphalt close by my first kit would be F1 for sure, and i wonder how they actually behave since i never actually tried a F1 RC either ... Edit: since i do not my first Road car will be A subaru Rally TT02 kit, just waiting for Spring so i can paint, -16 outside at the moment 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mechanic AH 581 Posted January 9, 2021 While working on a never ending Blitzer Beetle body, I took a break and finished customizing a Kyosho Trail King (sorry it's not a Tamiya). I'm really not a fond of the stock/original look and really want a Unimog. So I decided to turn the Trail King into one since it's reminiscent of a Unimog 406/407. Now I just have to wait for snow to test tun it. Sorry for the amount of images. Also uploaded the work process if you're curious. Thanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOIvigqB1I4 20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parksy87 3 Posted January 10, 2021 Here's my Subaru body I've been messing with as it was well used and the previous owner cut the front bumper off, so i thought I'd try and keep it out of the landfill, front crash bar made from styrene tubing with intercooler and oil cooler, carbon wrapped roof, bonnet and spoiler, Matte chrome red wrapped the rest of the car, side skirts had also been chopped by the previous owner so styrene again for them. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nordic 15 Posted January 11, 2021 As a kid, I always wanted to have a Grasshopper. But my parents never allowed me to have one. Now, a few years later, I built my very first RC car, with 45. Nothing special, but I am happy how my Blitzer Beetle turned out. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
