I had planned on it, but Soul is closed this weekend [emoji20]

 

Yeh, I heard about that. NRD opened all weekend so those that had planned to go soul could still do some sliding.

Some finer details to put into your evo shell by any chance?

I've just got home from a late one at NRD and drifted the d4 in standard guise for the last time, now I play the waiting game for parts to come from rc mart then get rebuilding ;)

Oh and I have paint for the e30 touring so that will be getting done over this next week

Yeah, looking around a few Evo 10s I picked up a few minor details I'd missed. Front indicators and little bits of trim.

 

I saw a few people had gone up there. I wish I'd known earlier, haha. 

That'll be cool when the alloy bits turn up, loads more tuning fun then with the more precise chassis :)

I've been trying to justify either an FXX or RRX VIP chassis... It'd be cheaper to sell up and get one but we're saving for a wedding so it feels selfish, haha.

I think that's a bit negative. You should just do it ;)

Howdy gang, i dont post much any more but thought id share a couple of bits. 

 

been doing a MR2 roadster shell with tamiya cockpit and roll cage made from styrene rod..never doing that again what a pain it was.

 

also amassing a bit of a wheel collection / addiction lol, my latest two are the Team surging 12 offset yayoi wheels and RC Art evolve GTR in i think 11 offset.

 

either way with a 200mm shell thats a bit bulged out from the cockpit being fitted, they still all poke lol

 

also going to try wrap up next X3 rwd tyres, usually use DS racing rwd's as i had great success with them, tried speedline and never again am i buying their stuff, a couple of their wheels feature in the pic but overall ..naff imo. 

 

will also do another MR2 shell at some point as this one was a proof of concept if you will.. 

 

Wheels are as follows

Speedline LXZ In normal size and narrow pair for their narrow front tyres

RC Art Evolve GTR 

overdose XD9's in white 

another set of XD9s in flat silver with painted white centre 

MST enkei RPF 1s

MST something something lol

Team surging yayoi in flat silver

Yea i like the GTR's 

 

got a couple of pics that arent top down as such but can see the cage etc better before i put the padding on

the lack of legs is a shame with these tamiya cockpits but then again they werent designed for a convertible ..i was going to print of a sticker saying "legs go here" but cant be bothered lol

 

their isnt much detail on the inside, just the stickers etc the cockpit came with..i did have to make a custom firewall with styrene sheet as you can see in the pic below as the cockpit is too long for this car in terms of realism, if i would of left it, it wouldnt of looked right.

Thanks bud.

Yea the shell i guess is for 200mm racing, is a shame they moulded basically a touring car wing into it. 

I presume hpi just copied the old tamiya shell and called it a day lol. 

 

I wouldn't mind if there were more on the market by other manufacturers like pandora but alas no.
