Popular Post tomr Posted December 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2022 Took the converted Maverick Strada drift car out for a couple of packs this morning 👍 It ran great no problems at all, got a few small adjustments to make but overall I’m really pleased with how it’s performing as a rally car. The ghetto cover once again did a sterling job of keeping the crap out 😁 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BigGinge Posted December 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2022 The TB-05 is finally done. Sort of. I could take this out for its maiden run now but I think I’ll probably try and spend a little time reinforcing the shell with some fibreglass duct tape before taking it out. Further down the line I’m probably going to wire up some LEDs to go into the light buckets and will try and design and print some parts to go on the chassis to keep the worst of the filth off the electronics. After I’ve run it like this for a bit I’m probably going to have a go at modifying the suspension (and chassis) to see if I can increase the suspension travel and ground clearance a bit to improve its off road performance. Quite happy with it for now though. Using @Cuiken maths (so taking into account money I got from selling the Tx/Rx, Servo and ESC/Motor combo that came with the second hand kit I bought) I figure this one comes in at just under £190 as it currently stands. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shergar Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 That looks ace a real nice build 👍 Tamiya created some great chassis, but seemingly sticks with the TT02 for everything sadly. Quick query - might there be enough switch lead to wrap the 1080 on off button round the axle if it gets knocked off though? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one probably does deserve an extra cable tie to keep it out of the way. It seems to have escaped notice when I was tidying the rest up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BigGinge Posted January 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2023 Well, I think the XV01 is probably done for now too. Might need to trim the body posts at some point, and possibly swap the tires for some rally blocks, but otherwise it’s ready to head out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BigGinge Posted January 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2023 (edited) Got both cars out today on a mostly frozen dirt car park with the lad (and his three year old sister). Couldn’t convince him to try racing yet but it was good fun having them both running at once. The three year old managed much better than I thought she would but I wasn’t brave enough to let her try anything past a 50% setting for the dual rate on the throttle. I was too busy to think to take any pictures while we were out but have this one from when we got home. Looks like the XV01 is the much better choice for running in the dirt, going to need to come up with some extras to protect the TB05 if we’re going to keep taking it out when it’s wet and mucky. Probably need to glue the tires too as the fronts keep coming off on the XV01. Edited January 22, 2023 by BigGinge 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Kinda late, kinda unrelated. My intention wasn’t to be in here, but my latest purchase does fit the bill, kinda. Its a rally car (shell), it has a silver can (two!!) and it better be running under £200 otherwise Ill be dumped by my girlfriend 🙂 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGinge Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I was very tempted by those shells when I was picking mine out. Any idea what you’ll need to do to get it running yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
