Im doing a Repsol Cosworth using a TBG shell at the moment. My Advice is dont. I paid £86 for a base model ta-02 (to get the spoiler and wing mirrors), then £37 for the shell, then £31 for the decals, then £18 for the paint lol. Its a nighmare. Id just buy the XBS Wrc Cosworth RTR from a few pages back

Looks awesome mate love the colour ? Only just noticed the the front wheels are deeper than the rear would of thought it would be the other way round ? 

 

what colour is it mate ?

 

Yeah it’s to get the wheels lined up, bit like a yeti set-up it does look odd though and would love a different option on wheels.

 

colour is my fave, Tamiya ts-52 candy lime ice. :good:

On road touring or off road buggy?

 

Iff they have a 12mm hex chances are they will fit.

Wasn’t sure on the off set either mine are 6mm offset I found the 2nd ones are 6mm off set but the absima doesn’t say

If it doesn't say then it's probably 0 offset.

If it's for your AMG TT-02 then you might have some left over hex's (wide) these are generally included with some kits.

I like tamiyas except for the reason you mentioned they make lovely shelf cars but ain't that good for bashing

I dunno, my Clod was a fun basher and my Aggroshart has taken some major beatings and is still going strong. Ok, I've thrown some coin at it but it's a great truck.

That’s more of a basher chassis than a scale chassis both wearing the Amarok shell.

 

its down to your personal preference though and whether you decide you wanted the cc01 variant enough to ask the wifey for a exchange or not.....
