Which hop ups are you running in your TT-02? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like scale look so maybe a custom interior or something like that!! Not really worried bout terrain etc! If tweaking and scale realism are your thing, one of the most improve-able Tamiya chassis is the CC-01. Comes with a choice of realistic shells too, which you can further enhance with scale accessories, weathering, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a universal kit with different shells or are there different wheelbase sizes?? The basic kit is the same. The short and long wheelbase versions are achieved by using either the forward or rearward mounting points for the rear links. The medium wheelbase versions use little bridge pieces between the mounting points giving a third intermediate mounting point. And of course each version is supplied with a propshaft of suitable length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisT Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 @XV Pilot Is the Kamtec shell more durable and thicker than the stock Tamiya Manta Ray shell? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tamiya-manta-ray-Lexan-1-10-RC-Replica-Bodyshell-Only/191928085958?epid=1695683510&hash=item2cafce2dc6:g:Ie0AAOSwWfFXkLvB I've cut and painted mine today and it is flimsy, not the usual quality for Tamiya. The thickness just isn't there and the cut lines are nearly non existant. The original is only a pound dearer. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Tamiya-Manta-Ray-2018-Body-Rear-Wing-Only-19803082-9803082/312118404041?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Hello, my names Keith and I have a problem..... What happens is I work nights 8pm-8am. My body hates this and around 3am, I go for my break but I cant eat food. So what I do is order another Tamiya Touring car..... Thing is I was gonna buy a Lego Porsche GT3RS and a Mack truck. These 3 cost the same as those but can actually be used? Only a Tamiya TT-01e Scirocco. £78 + postage lol. My aim is to make it look like my 1:1 Gonna need to trim the spoiler and find some different wheels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisT Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 While browsing through MCI's website I stumbled across some Escort Cosworth decals, Martini https://mciracing.ca/products/cosworth-martini It existed in the real world. Can't seem to find any info on Tamiya ever releasing one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
