Lone-wolf Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Great growing collection and as per your status i do agree with moving a few Traxxas models to a, make room and b, help fund the hobby what with a youngster en route. I really have the itch to build a new tamiya, the M-06 porsche is not going to plan so i may move that on, i have it in my head i want to build the new MF-01x Fiat 131 mirafiori rally car and even try to paint it box art, maybe go brushless and try to find some aftermarket shocks that really do work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Its a bit of a silly thing, the chassis is great, but the body wants smaller m class wheels and it came with a set but only 2 wheel nuts, these are special MST ones and only place i can find them is a shop in Netherlands and will cost yes your reading this right about 30 euro shipped, so i decided to cut the arches to clear slightly bigger wheels now it just dont look right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 thats a very fair price, nice one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 So that leaves me looking like this from a Tamiya point of view. Ignore the TRX4, that will move to the Traxxas shelving when space allows: it upsets me the TA-04 Loctite GTR is a new in box..... I really want to build it and get it dispalyed next to the Xanavi..... but thats kinda taboo! Also have an Avante Black NIB thats not in the pic.... Getting there 🙂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Tamiya has kinda come back to me. I really went off Tamiya, you can find my posts from years ago moaning about Tamiya. I cannot stress how much everything Im buying lately is ‘for me’. Its the RCs childhood me saw in magazines, or Beatties. Its the RC Models of cars I used in computer games as a lad.

Kpowell911 Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 I've sold a few, and got a few for sale, but added a 58170 Supra! Team Castrol Gran Turismo Vibes Bottom left two are for sale, as well as the TL-01 Supra.
