How hard/easy was it to retro fit it ?

Not as bad as I thought, just slid everything through the rear cage 

[Stormbringer]

Thats good mate 

[Kpowell911]

Loaded up my new Tamiya Bag, actually made by Carson, but was only £24 and its huge!

 

 

The Egress is awaiting a servo but at least it made it out the house

they both look great outside mate

A double RC day with the old man.  A buggy session first followed by a woodland walk/crawl.  Got to take advantage of the unusually dry warm weather while it lasts!

 

Really impressed with how the Rlaarlo ran and drove.

[Stormbringer]

looks good place to run them

I painted this TT01 Subaru! I built the chassis a long while ago, now summers over I thought I better paint it before winter…..

 

[Stormbringer]

that will fairly pop when you back it with the silver

Really like that BBX (Egress looks good too), Tamiya are really good at evoking the Retro nostalgia.

Guess what I’ve just done! Silver then gunmetal over the top. Peel off the masking tomorrow, I intend to tint the windows and cut the black bits out the all over one piece glass decals…. I might change my mind yet!

[Stormbringer]

sounds like a plan mate

Lucky you...been warm here today but blowing a gale and chucked it down most of the day ! Maybe tomorrow 🤞

Not what I did to my model, it's what I did for it. A while ago I was given a flysky gt3c tx that the steering control was not self returning on. After a you tube search I stripped it down, made a new return spring out of an old pen spring, reassembled it, bound it to a spare Rx I had, and it works perfectly, result,👍👍

[Stormbringer]

Result 

And nice new avatar as well 

[Lone-wolf]

fitted a set of low cost drift wheels to my MF-01x Jimny, a good way to see if i fancy a drifter or not, at least i locked rear diff when i built this car, front is open

[Stormbringer]

Nice 1 mate and its a cheap way to find out if you like drifting 

[Shergar]

Had a peek at the shell I painted when the sun was still out earlier in the week. Smoked the vents on the bonnet rather than a sticker as an experiment.

 

[Stormbringer]

looks good just now and interested to see it finnished mate 

[Shergar]

Should look good, even though the light sticker will kill it 😬

[Redback]

Cant believe the amount of tires ive collected over the years.

In this hobby we do amass a large amount of tyres, i have 8 rocks tyres super swampers alone

[Redback]

Yeah, bit useless, can't even sell em on. Most are unused outlaw tires. Guess could use them to make a crawling course haha

[Stormbringer]

Ive got 3 or 4 carrier bags full of tyres in the shed and be lucky if theres 1 full set of 4 matching tyres/wheels 

[Tug]

Try racing, they blow through three grands worth of tyres a year, and that was ten years ago, could be more now.

Bonfire nights soon. Not that burning them is good for the marshmallows, sure adds flavor.
