  6. Well thats project "Herbie" finished & i am really pleased with it. Studied Herbie the Volkswagen and there was never one car the same. The Love bug Car was actually a 1957 Oval Beetle Modified to a 1963 Rag Top! I used Tamiya PS-57 Pearl with Fastrax Ivory White backing ,bought from Modelsport as no one had PS-1 .. I painted the wheels too as they was grey. Fully Ball Raced all 24 Bearing & a Hop Up Alloy Prop-shaft complete the build. After Running it in my garden its very bouncy so will look into a CVA Damper set for the future .. Onto next project ...
  7. I have 14 x 1150 bearings rubber sealed so ordering up the rest , like you say wise move before its together ..
  8. Got a little it done today , ordered a few bearing's and a Hop Up Prop shaft as only had 14 ,1150 ball races that were purchased for another build that never came off. The MF-01X Chassis uses 24 bearings in total , so 6 short on 1150 & 4 x 850's Seen a You Tube video that you can get loads of Hop Ups for this so that might be something to look into later on ..
  9. I will be just running it standard , did you ball race your one ??
  10. Thank you yours looks fab love it.. is it quick ? i'm sure there is a fair few shells that you can use. Over on RC Kicks the channel owner has mounted a Porsche 959 retro body on his.
  11. New Post in Rally Cars .. Herbie the Rally Car Build  - Volkswagen Beetle Rally MX-01X

  12. Yayyy it's here the Volkswagen Beetle Rally 4WD MF-01X Chassis Kit Number 58650. I Love Volkswagen Beetles as you can see from previous posts .. Sand Scorcher Build, Monster Beetle Build .. so a 4WD Rally Herbie was next. Bit of a Shock this morning , my Partner is one in a million, already had bought me the Monster Beetle for my Birthday. So to find a box on the settee and its for me kinda threw me a bit! Seeing i was looking into one soon as i could afford it , went and bought it... I didn't have the funds as off work at the moment so watching spends. Was even thinking of painting our Cockatiel white and selling him on eBay as a dove .. 🤣 to fund one. His safe wouldn't do that to him love him too much. So what is the plan 🤔 Well I'm a big Herbie fan so I've Sourced the Herbie Decal sheet and just got to find the correct colour.. We have a set of ball races in a bag a set i purchased for a DT03T chassis i was going to buy but never came off. Will match as many as we can, looks standard sizes so should be good! It comes with a Torque Tuned RS540 motor that's staying, I've found these to be a great motor for blasting round the garden. Well my speed i can control 🤣 Esc is a Mtroniks Sniper RV-20 The Modelsport UK one Radio is a Carson Reflex Wheel 2.4Ghz
  13. So had the Scorcher running round the garden today.. Just the rear light to paint and its finished Was a bit disappointed the battery only lasted 15 mins from a full charge. Carson 2700 Hump pack. Still this won't be used much as its a shelf queen. Too expensive to damage!! On to next build
  14. Thinking about ordering the Tamiya Volkswagen Beetle - M-06 58572  My next build in Herbie theme :)

    2. Oh How Original

      Oh How Original

      A build thread is definitely required.

  15. My Tamiya Sand Scorcher Re Re is at the stage of needing a Esc & the Servo /Receiver to be fitted. I have purchased these from Modelsport Shop Online. My Question is my gearbox seems to be not free turning .. i.e you cant spin a wheel round. It does turn but seems tight! Any ideas ?? Or should i strip it start again ?? Was going to see what its like once its at running stage but don't want to break anything.
  16. Always found Modelsport a great shop & love the forum! Nice one Nick just put 2 orders in with the shop for my Sand Scorcher build.
  17. Love the green They are great fun aren't they ... enjoy
  18. My Partner bought me this 2015 Re Re Monster Beetle kit as a birthday present. I was halfway through building my Sand Scorcher but decided to build this first. Fully Ball Raced & Torque Tuned Motor .. has Original 540 in at moment as the Torque Tuned failed to work! So waiting for a replacement to turn up. We painted the shell with Royal Mail van Red paint 4 coats.. then 3 coats of clear lacquer. Shiny is an understatement Plastic primed of coarse first .. Had it flying round our garden Sunday love it ! I want the Black Edition next for my collection
  19. that is it for today .. Number plate surrounds painted satin back, exhaust painted satin black & wipers too. Decals added to plates and all fitted!
  20. Thank you this has taken me over a month to build lol ,very fiddly and paintwork hard to get right .. But its getting there slowly now!
