What did you do to your model today?

[steephill]

Painted the cliffhanger body for my injora lcg chassis scx10 based truck. I've added a few subtle decals since taking the picture.

Very nice. halfway through fitting a cliffhanger (copy) body on my mauler 😀

[Stormbringer]

That looks really good mate 

[Bajadre]

lovely color that steep 👍

Thought I would update my progress on my corally jambo now complete every single drive shaft and now been changed and all out drives front rear and centre all now spring steel upgraded 

Hopefully with these upgrades 

When I play on 6s it doesn't rip the shafts and cups to pieces 

[Stormbringer]

Those should really help mate

I really really enjoy painting and decalling bodies. Fact is. Im awful at it, even after years. Its just not my strong point. As a result I decided to crack on with the bodyshells Ive got outstanding. Very simple single colour shells for an Egress Black and my new BBX that Ive not built yet.......

 

BBX Body Panels. Never done a body like this before. Ive got complete box art. PS4 Bodywork and PS1 for the roof. Its far from perfect, but I cant wait to get it mounted. 
 

 

 

The Egress Black bits are ready. Simple black. Seems fine so far

 

[Stormbringer]

looking pretty good in the pics mate 

[Shergar]

They look alright from here!

[Kpowell911]

 

BBX is coming along

[Lone-wolf]

finally got round to soldering up the new battery pack for the HS thingy 1/18 brushless baby fireteam stock is 1200mah 2S Li-ion, this one is a 3000mah 2S Li-ion

[Stormbringer]

that should give a lot better runtimes 

[Kpowell911]

Nowhere near finished, but Im over the moon so far 😁

 

 

 

[Stormbringer]

That looks really smart and solid mate 

[Lone-wolf]

@Kpowell911 i will say the BBX is not the kind of rc i run but by eck its looking smart, and all your Tamiya building has got me looking to make room for a new Tamiya build

[Stormbringer]

Nor me 😁 God knows whats come over me. Id have slated this two years ago and sent my X Maxx off a ramp

[Stormbringer]

Nostalgia might have lot to do with it mate 

[Kpowell911]

Starting work a little later today, and Ive pulled my shoulder so no gym time which was originally my plan. So cracked on with some RC. 

 

Got the Egress decalled up. Servo is on order, then I may actually run it, the undertray means it should stay clean ish?

 

Also "finished" the BBX. It needs tyre glue then itll run. Ive not got the driver in, or the window netting, or all the lights but yea. 
 

Theres what 30 years between these two if you take into account the original Egress? They look like theyre from the same era IMO. That must mean Tamiya have nailed the BBX as it looks so old but is modern?
