Tamiya

Two parcels arrived yesterday. To home - tyres/foams, Reedy motor, servo, fan/mount for the M08. To Germany - alloy wheels/hexes, alloy steering link for the SCA-1E.

Better half will bring the SCA-1E package home when she visits family. I didn’t vote for Brexit so I sure as hell am not paying for all it brings.

Just cheap ones at the mo. Ebay specials from the mystical orient.

I'm planning on buying a proper crawler/trail truck this month. And considering a Tamiya Rally Beetle build.

Keep us posted!

I'm also quite tempted by the Kyosho SandMaster 2.0 rtr

I'm reliving this with you. That body was my first ever RC kit (i only got into RC cars 18 months ago) and it was HARD!

Pretty accurate scale roll on this 6R4...

Rode over to Jadlams Toys in Glastonbury yesterday.

They had some really cool stuff. Massive 1/5 scale Dakar style short course trucks and the 1/8 scale rally cars.

This may sound stupid, but being new to this, I didnt really know how big 1/10 scale is. The crawler I was considering is huge!

Lots of food for thought.

Some painting happened

This thing is so fucking cool.

Yeh I love this.

Where's the can LoL? 🤔

The motor? Underneath, below the air scoop.

Ahhh. Air scoop. Ta

Still plugging away at it. It's not pretty close up, but I like it and that's all that matters.

Progress is slow. Added some smoke.

Smashed some stickers on a TD-4.

Nice.

I see F1 has been influenced by Tamiya and added funny little wheel covers to increase toy sales.

The future is here and it’s mudguards

Lovely scale roll on the TT-02 too!

Those stickers are, and I don't say it lightly, a bitch.

For me, working on finishing off my TB04 pro.
