What did you do to your model today?

[Stormbringer]

Coming along nicely mate

Trip out with the Big Rock. Wheel/stub fell off but thankfully I had tools to repair in situ.

 

Worse part was watching the wheel roll away in a woodland and out of sight.  Thankfully I found it fairly quickly and I took it all apart when I got back and re-added some thread-lock on both rear stubs.

 

[Stormbringer]

At least you found the bits and sorted it  

[Lone-wolf]

Brass Beadlock inserts for my Gatekeeper power wagon just got a pair for rear as it has plenty of weight over front, these add 60grams per wheel and fitted just sweet

[Stormbringer]

That should help keep the rear planted 

[Pistonhead]

Finished the mock-up on the Scania

Also added weight to the gatekeeper, in the stinking hot sun at SST none the less, hefty treal steering hubs and with the treal c hubs i already had way more steering angle.

I would have expect better fitment had to file some of the hubs away as tolerences were too tight.
Overall improvment drastic, its way more capable with the extra steering angle, the extra weight is just a bonus.
I am now starting to really enjoy the gatekeeper, the rear shocks need an upgrade as its always pulling the c clip off the top of the shock shaft.
And SST was pretty good again this year, each track had been setup by different groups and each was enjoyable, worth the trip every time.

Took the EMB-MT out for a quick blast.  Handling has always been funny with it being short wheelbase with lots of power but the steering felt odd.  Worked out that whenever I moved the transmitter, the servo would start twitching!?  When I got it back home I tested with another servo which did the same so guess the transmitter has something loose inside.  Shame as I liked the radio but have swapped it over to the GT5.

[Stormbringer]

Maybe a blast of electrocleaner/lubricant sprayed into the steering pot might help

[MrCake]

Good shout.  Not taken a transmitter apart before but assume they come apart fairly easily. 

[Stormbringer]

Yeh they usually do come apart fairly easily you just need be carefull the circuit board isnt on the back part attached by wires to rest of gubbins in tx 

[wolfie1]

You need to be careful with the throttle trigger and the springs in it

[tanveer]

Popped into wheelspin to grab a new charger, left with an extra £200 spent on maxx alloy bits😂😍😍

[Stormbringer]

Hmmm expensive charger 

[Kpowell911]

I love the look of the TT02D Z Tune R34 GTR Nismo. But I dont need the car so a whilw back I bought the shell with the intention of painting it Blue. But silver grew on me so I went box art. Over the passed few evenings I got this done. Far from perfect but.

 

 

Ive got some kit TT02R Black wheels which will look good, and Im just going to find a cheap Tamiya Roller to put it on. Im watching a few on eBay or I might wait try and find something a bit different like a TA04 or something

 

What really threw me out. PRE CUT DECALS!!! I Didnt know Tamiya had that in their locker, I actually cut the first few out haha

[Stormbringer]

looking good in the picture mate 

[Kpowell911]

So. Messed up but not tooo bad 😕

 

I immediately reamed the front body posts on the Tamiya Dimples.....

 

I dont think they were quite right..... so the shell sits too far forward in the arches. Ive also had to drill bigger holes for some movement. Not great but itll do. It was also on massive offset wheels when I lined it up.....

 

 

It sits better on stock TT-02 wheels so itll do for now. May actually run this

[Biggaz15974]

Stripped down, cleaned and serviced my Mojave, installed a duel fan mount and fans to keep the motor nice and cool.

Also fitted the new Max 10 combo 140amp 3200kv to my 3s Infraction, fitted a 44t spool to it too so hopefully 100mph on my next speed run👍👍

[Spunkymunky88]

Thought I would share my progress in my corally jambo I have slowly but surely replacing all the drive shafts and cups and servicing all my diffs whilst at it just front left to do when i next get paid 

 

So far I have replaced 

4 drive shafts and 6 standard drive cups with 4 new drive shafts and 6 spring steel upgrade drive cups 

 

I have always been scared of opening diffs but I decided to make the jump and attempt to do it my self and i'm glad I did

Not long to go now

 

[Lone-wolf]

I dug out my sporty Blitzer Beetle, gave it a clean to see about listing it for sale..................then decided no, keep it

                    its a nice car

I NEED these tyres like in the picture, even more i need the chrome beetle but one very rare Tamiya where do i get the road tyres

[Stormbringer]

I can see why you want that shell it looks ace 

[Kpowell911]

Made a start on the Egress Body

 

[Yorkshireman]

Inspired by Pistonhead's Scania build, I got the Globeliner down of the shelf last week and decided to spend some more money on it!!!! 

Ordered a motorized support legs kit from TTP....delivered in a couple of days, so been fitting the servo and coupler to the tractor unit. All wired in now and working 👍

Next thing to do is the trailer part...when I get time!  I can see a roof spoiler coming up next, so thanks Pistonhead 🤣

Destroyed a Force 28 engine, conrod bearing failed I think.
