Is it going to be a shelf queen? If not, don't worry, they're gonna get scuffed up anyway.
Take it you have the ugly duckling body shell?

@Howard and @Matisse, you guys need owt from RC Jaz? Gonna do an order and if you need smallish items thought I could order then post to you, saving on multiple postage.

Oh good idea

Also yes the ugly duckling is here

i'm good at the mo thanks bud

Cool. Have a look if they've got owt you need, gimme a shout if you want summat, will probably be ordering tomorrow evening.

No problem. Just thought I'd ask before ordering.

Porsche gets stickers. Crappy masking on headlights will be covered with more stickers after the body gets a coat of Matte Clear.

Took the DN01 to Kensington Gardens with the boy - had a good time as he was well in to it, especially getting it to climb a ramp on to a fallen tree then jumping it off.

Later we attracted a very excited staff type dog who, in the words of Hairy Maclary, wanted to run, wanted to race, but the main thing wanted was something to chase. He was a good match for the DN01 and managed to keep up with it for a good five minutes at full speed until the owner and I agreed a plan that wouldn't involve the car being bitten any more than it had already been.

Expected a bit of a telling off from the owner but she loved it, said she wanted a drone to help with similar exercise. Smiles all round. Dog looked shattered. I'll take that.

Sounds like a fine day.

Porsche after Matte Clear and a trim. Next the trim and lights get added. Then the epic will be over.

Very nice work!

Il finally have a car again soon, my micro buggy arrives in 2 weeks, then it’s time to get it race ready

That is looking good! What chassis is it?

TT01

Basically it’s a static

I was thinking of putting it on a TB05 but can’t see how you’d get the short wheelbase and wide rear so I think it’s stuck on the lame TT01/2 chassis :(

Excuse my ignorance here, what's up with the TT01,bit basic?

It’s all abs plastic. Except the diff bevel gears and drive cups. Not a turnbuckle in sight. Friction dampers. Doesn’t even come with bearings. Bleuugh.

That sure is a lot of plastic. You would think all kits would come with bearings and oil shocks, not like they're expensive items, when produced on a mass scale.

Plastic bushings are unforgivable.

They just want you to spend another £200 to get the thing to viable runner spec when a TA07 would have been better from the off.

Also - it’s a Porsche so isn’t it supposed to be rear engine front wheel drive?

Could remove the rear drive shafts I guess

That's correct, Porsches are all rear engine FWD. Dammit's one is just like that.

Unless it's a AWD Porsche.

I don't think there's ever been a front wheel drive Porsche. Majority are rear, some four.

1:1 cars. Complicated.
