    I am just waiting for a chap on tamiya forum to get back to me regarding a both a 959 and a grb I just cant resist lol, ive had both before tbh, the 959 was nib and i could not bring my self to paint it?? Really regret flogging that now, i also had a nib body set that i paid close to 300 for lol?? Insane really. Ive had a nice grb celica to that i bought off ebay, was already built and painted but was mint, again regret selling that too. The mrs looked at my bruiser progress last night, axles and chassis done, she said is that all youve got done?? I said yes love, its not like building my losi 8 etc, get it done asap, i like to savour a tamiya build she replied, ohh ok, whatever, lol.

    Awesome fella, judging by your largescales im sure you will do it justice I cant get to mine untill tomorrow chrimbo eve, be nice to get the chassis done on christmas eve. Im on the lookout now for a 959, a celica grb and a avante im tempted by the tundra too, ill try resist though untill the bruiser is done.

    Yes mate, full metal sheilded bearings.
  10. the watchman
    Yes nito, the dx4s has a 3 position switch so should be silky smooth bob on gear changes every time I started the build today haha, chassis rails are done, axles are done, the diffs are weird lol, 6 gears inside the diff housing. Ive taken my time, just to make sure everything is just right, tamiya manuals are great, im loving the build so far, making me feel all christmasy
  11. the watchman
    No mate, im using a spektrum dx4s steering wheel trigger type transmitter, so gears will be shifted using the aux switches.

    Cheers for the nice comments everyone, im hoping to make a start on it tomorrow, after shoping that is busy time of year as im sure you all know. Have two tins of ts-15 put to one side at the local model shop, i need grab a couple of servos, and a new sr410 speky receiver as im running it off my dx4s
  13. the watchman
    Yes mate, thats bog standard km "diff" oil, looks and smells like auto gearbox oil for 1:1 cars, thats how new this km is pal, ive never changed it as its only been used a hand full of times, nice to see you cracking on with it or kraken on with it lol (sorry lol) Ohh you should have looked in the spares mate, theres some cup boots in there pal
  14. the watchman
    Cheers buddy no i dont muck about lol, let the fun begin Im really exited to have a tamiya collection again, i love the box art, i love building them, the nostalgia souronding tamiya and the many memories certain models hold for me.
  15. the watchman
    Well as in the tittle, im starting a tamiya collection again, had a ride the eve to the local model shop, could not resist this now im starting collecting again, it will be a runner but only for special occasions, pretty good start i rekon, always wanted one as a kid, even had the poster on my wall this is not a build thread as such but progress will be shown, every time i buy a new tamiya, i will add it here, may take a while as i like them to be perfect.
  16. the watchman

      Cure? see oodboo's status.

    Id love a pajero body on this chassis, im sure a little link tinkering could sort that i was seriously considering buying a tam mountain rider as a christmas prezzie to me mmmmm think ive just found my next build instead.
  18. the watchman
    Yeah im not sure bud, im not to well up on my cc01 chassis lol I do love a nice looking jero though Plus axial has the jeep area well and truely covered, id sooner have a rubbicon kit tbh
  19. the watchman
    Drive shafts will defo be a issue, g2 and tf2 both need replacing instantly if you want to run it more than 5mins Pitty no body is included though or id be very intrested, im sure these cc01 bodies quite hard to come by, wonder if the pajero also fits?? It should do
  20. the watchman

      With the above comment of rifles in mind, i can see some sort of licence comming in soon for flying these things.

    3. the watchman

      the watchman

      Dji already has pre-programed quads that avoid any obvious no fly zones such as airports etc, that is the way forward imo, anybody can still buy a air riffle in a gun shop without a licence, you only need a licence for fac power riffles and shot guns, you only have to be over 16yrs age to buy a riffle, the techonolgy is there already and should on all new quads.

      ^^^^^Air rifles are only permitted on a range or with a permission.But then whats the point,with max power at 12fp they are glorified pop guns.

  21. the watchman
    Ahh im missing it already it was nice dealing with you to buddy, i hope you enjoy it pal, its a cracking truck, i put alot of time and cash lol into that, im sure you will do it justice pal.
  22. the watchman
    Yeah mate, uber front bumpers are good swag it braces your chassis to
  23. the watchman
    Whoops at least its getting driven properly hope your shocks arnt bent pal, plastics are cheap, shocks arnt lol a ubber bumper wouldnt go a miss like the rear tyres on front as well
  24. the watchman

  25. the watchman
