Tamiya

I always wanted to try a rear motor 2WD. Want to know what it’s like!

I've got a BBX that's been waiting in the shed for a few months now and had no time to do anything with it (too many video games...).

Now a Tamiya Tble-02 BL motor is on the way along with matching ESC from Japan, so will start the build soon.

What are the paint job plans?

I’ll keep this thread updated.

Amazing paint job. As always!

TBF Ford should have consulted Tamiya etc 🤣

Need to adjust the throttle end points.

Some kindred spirits:

Superb.

Like.

I've got a TT02s chassis waiting to be built up as a rally car. Has anyone found somewhere to buy paint over the counter in London?
It's crazy difficult and expensive to buy mail order.

If you find somewhere, please let me know! Has to be polycarbonate suitable obviously.

It’s not that difficult to buy online though - where are you looking?

Apparently in the 90s NASA used a modified Tamiya RC tank to safely deflate damaged space shuttle tyres..!

My main problem is I want three different colours and I haven't yet found one stockist that has all three!
PS1, PS5 and PS16

Mars rover.

B4 it was cool.

Ah!

1 and 5 are always in short supply - people back in 1 and then 5, regardless of the first colour.

regardless of the first colour

Unless it's the flip-tone stuff, in which case you back only with PS5 Black. Totally counter intuitive but it works.

Has anyone tried the Schumacher paint? It's cheaper and they have all the colours in stock.

Good tip!

I am sure it’s fine. The Core RC paint is apparently decent as well.

I'd be cautious mixing two brands of paint, but I'd go all in on one brand if they had the colours I need.

Can you tell what it is yet?

Team Associated B4 clone

It’s a clone - I think of the Kyosho RB6?

Anyway it’s a Dirt Master Ultima SB.
