That's my next build challenge with my group of mates, I haven't started on it yet, I've opened the box and had a wee look inside, and I must say considering the cost of the kit, what it doesn't come with - like a case for example everything I read about it led me to believe it came with a carrying case like the Noble Pro does for carrying it about, and differences between the stock TT-02 ans S version, I feel a little let down. A few shims and more modern arms, that are used in another Tamiya kit and can be easily and cheaply sourced, in my opinion does not justify it's cost compared to the other versions of the TT-092 chassis, or kits.

Popular Post MrCake Posted May 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2023 Took the Slash out and nearly got through a pack before my amazing soldering skills got me! Thankfully I was only about 5 minutes from home so decided to come back and re-solder before heading back out again to use the 2nd pack. Was a good session and this is more like my kind of RCing where cleaning only took about 10 minutes with a brush 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RC4WD fan Posted May 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2023 Was supposed to be putting the new motor in the TRX4 and strip down the stampede but again people had different ideas for me 🙄 did manage to build the new shelf for the RC’s and have a quick look at the Cragsman really pleased with it 😁 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tanveer Posted May 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2023 Decided to keep the vqs so installed the tz super stock motor and took it for its maiden run this morning, along side the tt02b also on its maiden run😂. The vqs seems ballistic in a straight line compared to the tt02b. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Grogg Posted May 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2023 Due to blood sucking parasitic leeches - I believe you can these evil beasts solicitors in this part of the world, I've had next to no time since my last post in this thread to work on my Rock Socker. I finally managed to finish making a few metal grills and painted them: And here's one of the grills test fitted along with the front lights, there are lights to be fitted on the roll cage, but they can't be test fitted, once they are fitted, that's them fitted, they can't be removed. Hopefully a better view of the metal grill and front lights temporarily fitted to give a rough idea of what it should look like when finished: I also installed a rear wing: I was hoping to have least started to paint the body shell by now, if not have it almost finished painted, but thanks to those blood sucking parasitic leaches, I've now run out of printer ink for printing out my custom made paint masks. So I now have to wait for printer ink to be delivered before I can make a start on painting the body shell. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be an alright one in Gorleston (about 5-10 minutes from where you are). I think the only one in the county worth going to is Model Hobby but that's Kings Lynn so you're talking an hour+ to get there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the whole risk of tying up money in stock being a risk to a small shop like that, but when you go in and anything you ask for "Can be ordered in", you're just gonna order it online yourself aren't you? A shame really, there used to be another one in Norwich which was ace and that one in Gorleston I mentioned was one you could get lost in for a while too. Suppose it's just impossible to keep up with the big dogs online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
