atom3624 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I always liked that Tamiya Focus. That was how I started with HPI, with a HPI RS4 Focus WRC. Still working now, but with an 8.5 BL, I think. It's stupid fast, on a standard 7.2V NiMH!! Belts still holding up, but I don't use it that often. Al.

:: blade :: Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 well not really done much to this for a while, used it twice, as the pinion kept slipping so got bored with it, decided to fix it again, and will be locking my spare diffs today and also orderd an s15 shell with light buckets, not sure on the colour i want yet, but will see when i get the shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimO Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Just found this thread on google. I have a TL01 i bought about 10yrs ago and just dug it out and fancy mucking about with it again. Got it running again (had to buy a new battery, that was all it needed) Just driving it about now and was wondering about the wheels not being straight etc, might have to get those adjustable rods i seen here.

:: blade :: Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 ive reenforced the diff gears with more araldite so less chance of coming apart now and also recieved my new shell its an R2 Hobbies S15 shell light buckets with 2 spoilers the light buckets arnt the best fit but will do something with them when i get it sprayed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

:: blade :: Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 not sure about locking both diffs, these were spare so going to see how it will be with both on then put the other back in if its not any good im thinking of doing it with a black bonnet/roof and boot, spraying the light buckets matte black and doing the rest of the body in a pearl/metallic white then will be on the lookout for some rims, will be getting the spray and that 1st before the wheels as i want to get the body right as it will most prob be a shelf queen NuttyProfessor - have you got a pic of that purple? might put that on the next shell i get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
