OK so today I found some time for building. Finished the back end for now. And fitted the motor guard etc. And then assembled the steering rack. Which is now fitted to the car with most of the front end done, will get pics later

Quick update. Been very busy but the micro servo just came and let's say I could fit two in there so I think everything will be OK

Afternoon guys. Well, the full sized servo came and does not fit. It's only about 3mm too wide though. Having realised that micro servos (the one I ordered from HK for

It's a fast charger with five settings Nitro, so I will just use the lowest one Build time. Gearbox and clutch assembly. Chassis. That was from an hour last night. Moving on.. Motor fitted. Covers fitted. Back strut and suspension holder built. Then fitted to the chassis. And then gearbox mounted And now for what I want it to look like. Remember that Porsche brown they used on the 928 was it? this one. I know it's supposed to be red and changing that is going to be a sod (the wheels are silver right now too) but that is my dream car so that's what I want.

I started the build tonight. I will get some pics shortly. The battery compartment is very small, but, I do recall seeing a very small battery on Modelsport yesterday for

No worries Noj. The car just arrived now, and I got to speak with Colin at Tamiya UK and he says that I will definitely get it running. Modelsport do small batteries (still don't know the exact size need to look over the kit) but yeah, the only issue is going to be the servo and I'm pretty sure it will be the micro servo that ends up fitting. Looking at the instructions the monopolised Tamiya servo slides in on two sets of tabs and there are no screws. So, I will probably have to Dremel off the mounting part of the micro servo and stick it in with double sided foam. Colour scheme.. I want the car to be metallic brown and the wheels gold. Either that or metallic orange and gold, depending on availability of the paints. I won't be painting it for at least a couple of weeks though as I am a bit busy now.

Very helpful Noj. Yeah, I will measure up when I get the car and will find something that fits then. I'm pretty sure I can fit a normal ESC in there and I have ordered this as well as this. So I am pretty sure I have the servo covered. I've not ordered a ESC or battery or anything yet I will figure that out when the car is here

Aww poo I was hoping you wouldn't say that.. Well I'm in now as returning it would cost about

Hi all. I'm Andrew and I live near the beach in West Sussex. I rekindled my love for RC cars recently and have built a Cougar KR (brushed, I'm not rich) and a Kyosho Sandmaster that I race on tidal sands when the tide is out. I just bought this.. http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=57105 However, now I am worried.. I really can't find enough information on the web about it as Tamiya's site offers nothing more than just a picture. I am running 6 cell batteries and don't know if they will fit. I have a set of controls and a receiver (Schuey code sport) but don't yet have the ESC or battery? Will my regular batteries fit? do I need a specialist ESC? I looked on Modelsport and noticed the TT gear ESC was nearly
