Dont know why, but I GENUINELY enjoyed building a TT01E. I know its basic, but it felt a lot better than a TT02? Anyway, also a brilliant brilliant bodyshell IMO. I know this is a dirty ReRe, but this looks straight out of the Tamiya Catalogue I used to buy from Beatties as a lad! Now onto the Porsche GT1…
-
Took some Traxxas’ out for the first time this year. The Defender is insanely capable! With his Big Brother
-
Finished the TT01E for the Audi A4. Nothing special. Im thinking of running my Top Force Evo as 4WD is just better than 2WD IMO. Just going to use these electrics I have on hand.

Its Friday. Had a tough week at work so cracked open the A4 TT01E and a beer. Bizarrely, Im enjoying the TT-01E build a lot more than the usual TT02? I just wish Id picked up a bearing kit and some oil shocks before I started but to be fair its only a shelfer.

After a tough week at work, Im trying a new beer (Cruzcampo), whilst building a new Tamiya. Bliss Friday evening!

Ive been very quiet on the RC front. A genuine bit of RC fatigue, Ive not even been interested in catching up on forums or RC Youtubers, Traxxas have released a new Maxx Slash which is right up my street yet I havent pulled the trigger and I am unlikely too. Truth is, Id picked up most of the RCs I wanted (the Tamiya R34s, NSX, Supra and various Porsches) and I kinda felt Ive achieved everything with my RCs…. However, I had an Audi A4 on order at my local modelshop, and last week I did my usual eBay searches and made a purchase. Must be a sign as today as I was leaving for work, I got a parcelforce notification a parcel was out for delivery, and on my lunch break, I got a text saying my A4 was in at my local modelshop. So a double RC Day. Also picked up some paint etc Audi A4 TT-01E. Such an iconic shell IMO. Obviously a rere but itll be built as a shelfer so no problems. Now this is also a rere. I missed out on the original ReRe run, so had to pay over RRP, but I still got this for sub £200 all in which I think is acceptable. Its also on a TA03RS, quite a rare chassis that Ive never actually built. Of Course its the Porsche 911 GT1 Street. I do wonder if I could obtain some “race version” decals?

Soooo a Hoss?

Looks well. Glad its still going!

Looking at the info I have those pics are 2007, but I mustve been going there with other RCs when I was younger as I could drive myself in 2007. Good times. I used to always go Bekra RC in Newton Abbot and AMC in Torquay before it moved. I also raced touring cars at a track in Kingskerswell thats maybe not there anymore
-
I think this is the same place but lots of years ago
-
Is that ‘the’ Slash 4x4 I think it is?
-
Thats it! Honestly I nearly teared up seeing you post that. Such happy memories going there what must be 20+ years ago!
-
Please please tell me where this is! My Nan lived in Teignmouth when I was a kid and my Dad used to take me there with my HPI E Savage in what Im guessing was 2002ish? Im certain this is where he used to take me!

IMGUR

Just get some cheap Yeah Racing ones in my opinion
-
You can tell Im getting old. House a few doors up has either bought or maybe rented a Lamborghini. Theyre revving it (it does sound absolutely incredible to be fair!!). But its really annoying me as Im trying to watch the footy haha

Always liked the look of these, just swore Id never buy another Arrma/Horizon product. Good luck with it!
-
Bearings, Oil shocks and a steel pinion are the main 3. Anything else is nice, but its not going to improve it much, itll still always be a basic TT02. You can end up sinking a fortune into them (which I have done). Spend as little as possible and put the money towards a better kit if you like it. Look at it as youve paid £100 for a beautiful bodyshell/wheels/tyres.

Or 58001 😄

Happy Bank Holiday Weekend Guys! Had an extremely busy week for the first time projecting managing a 'huge' (for me) job! Much more money, but honestly not sure its worth it. Glad its over. Time for 4 days off with my Mrs & Daughter, few beers and catch up on some R/C and eBay! Hope you're all well!

Just a reminder for people like me who own lipo’s but rarely use their RCs lately. Just check your lipo’s. Condition and voltages. I have 20 or so Lipo’s, stored in BatSafes. Just checked the voltages and all seems ok, but two appeared to drop out of balance. Nothing major but one cell was 0.2v out. Just trying to rectify with a charge/discharge to balance out. Hopefully be ok as theyre quite expensive 4S Lipo’s
-
What do you mean exactly? What are you intending starting with?
-
That looks great! I didnt go for the Brute because it was white but your decals look incredible on it!
-
Was going to go out with the RCs but weathers terrible so I compared my Porsches. That sounded good to say! I think Porsches make the best 1:1 cars, and the Tamiya/Porsche connection also seems special Yea, I need more Tamiya Porsches!
