Mark_C Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Remember we said there was a rumour about the 934 kit re-release ? Turns out to be a Tamico special, a bunch of options added (FRP chassis, aluminium propshaft etc). 333 kits available, so one for the collectors! https://tamico.de/index.php?a=220470-1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMaxxDave Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it. Damn it, stupid Levant. Or stupid me, one of the 2, bought more spur gears to swap to a 61t spur, only to open the thing up and find my Levant is already running a 61t spur gear. Not impressed. Fitted the 14t Pinion though whilst I had it in bits. Shall see how it runs at weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC4WD fan Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) Think I've sorted the paint colour out ps-37 backed with ps-23 ? Edited August 1, 2018 by RC4WD fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC4WD fan Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Guys I've just been thinking (scary thing I know ?) but the mf-01x is an m-chassis right? witch use smaller wheels to say a TT-02 so if I got the Porsche wheels there going to look a bit big in the beetle or am I wrong ?

Kpowell911 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Im hoping theres still 1 of these 4 left around Xmas. Mrs Gun’s is going to buy me a kit and that would be my dream (although we are going to stay up North in Nov with her Parents right by Time Tunnel Models....) https://tamico.de/navi.php?a=31&lang=eng Would take me right back to playing Gran Turismo as a kid Edited August 2, 2018 by Guns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_C Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I have started painting the Subaru NBR shell. need to get better at cutting out wheel wells for the next body if there is one. Soldered a switch back on to the TL-01 ESC. The WR-01 Double Blaze turned up, stripped and cleaned, currently still in bits as I'm going to order bearings for it (24 of them!). Also need a esc with twin output, so probably will get a Hobbywing 860. The battery (3300mah nimh) that came with WR-01 was completely dead, put it on the charger and it was at 4.4 volts ! Stuck 5 amps through it and it only charged to about 110mah, set it on a discharge and then charged again and it took 3800mah - how long it lasts in a car is another story of course. Fleet is now up to: CW-01 Lunchbox, CW-01 Midnight Pumpkin, Monster Beetle, Blitzer Beetle, WR-01 Double Blaze, DF-01 Manta Ray (FRP chassis etc), DF-02 Plasma Edge, TT-01E Nissan GTR + Subaru NBR shell, TL-01 ITC Alfa Romeo With the exception of the Manta Ray all bought on ebay, cleaned up, fixed and made to run again. I think thats more than enough and should probably sell some on, but its fun to get them going again.. am running out off storage space though!

Well that went down the craper pretty much ruined the shell now ? the first and only time I try and do a fancy paint scheme I found a red and silver and black in my paint box so thinking great I'll save £15+ I'll use these nope looks like crap the paint use very very runny so straight from the get go it was ruined ? so I've tried to make it look like the paint is very faded and in not good condition I'm now thinking of like a rat rod style ? but this body was never the one that I was going to keep on it so I annoyed but not to much ?
