Noj Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Very nice. Being a pedant, could the RR3 shell be lowered a couple of mm or so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV Pilot Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 It could be, but since the suspension settles a little when a battery is on board, the front wheels would hit the arches when turning sharply. I think it is pretty much optimal as-is. Thanks for the suggestion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XV Pilot Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) One of Tamiya's simplest offerings, the Rising Fighter: This one has a rubber-sealed bearing set fitted, as well as a steel pinion, 27t rebuildable motor, Ansmann oil shocks rebuilt with Tamiya seals and oil, and alloy wheel nuts. It is otherwise stock, and thus far has proven to be indestructible even with absolute novices at the controls.

Noj Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 What were the designers thinking when they got to the rear end...... XVP, do you run NiMH or 2s lipo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably something like "Okay, we have chopped the wing off this Super Hornet shell, and now it doesn't look right. What have we got in the parts bin to replace it with? Hmm. That Mad Fighter wing looks promising. It won't just bolt on, but if we jack it up really high in the air with an adpter plate.. " I run NiMH in my cars as I don't have anywhere safe to store LiPos at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV Pilot Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Here is one I finished yesterday: I was in two minds as to whether to paint the cockpit bars black or not. In the end I decided to follow Tamiyaclub member Sunnyjai's example and leave them green. I can always paint them at a later date if I change my mind.

Popular Post mike1980 Posted February 17, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) The only Tamiya I own now and the one I have had the longest. It has had several different identities/paint jobs and this is its current guise. Kind of a Sand Scorcher meets Monster Beetle look.
