jake1*2011 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) Here is my tamiya m-05, I bought it in October last year and have only been able to race it once! Hardly a mark on it. Had a lot of fun building it and even had a go at painting the shell myself Edited March 2, 2014 by jake1*2011 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TamiyaM05Mini Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Very nice mate, loving the splatter paint job, must of taken some time. Just trying to get my photos on to here, will be on soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TamiyaM05Mini Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Here we go. I bought a fully hopped up race mini on ebay about 2 months ago. I then bought a brand new Tamiya Mk1 Golf Kit (I own 4 real Mk1 Golfs) and transferred all the allu hop ups on to it. Looks great. First run was last weekend, using 2s lipos. Keep those pics coming. http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/27839-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/27840-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jake1*2011 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Very nice mate, loving the splatter paint job, must of taken some time. Just trying to get my photos on to here, will be on soon. In all it took around 10 minutes to paint it but between colours/ coats i let it dry in the airing cupboard for around 40 minutes, there is 4 coats of metallic black just to make sure its 100% covered all over. I started to paint it at 2:30pm and finished it at 7pm, that includes prepping the shell, painting and drying times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-n Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) Very nice, is it an XB Mini, or are you just great at painting and sticker ins. it's one i painted and applied the stickers. i used frog tape to get neat paint lines and misted soapy water on the shell to help get the decals on neatly without any air bubbles getting trapped under them.

TamiyaM05Mini Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) Mines an M03, also have another M03 and an M05 coming this week that I've bought, I meant I don't know what make the golf shell is If it's a Mk1 Golf shell with a ABS plastic front end then it's Tamiya, if it's moulded in one it's a Carson or Team ABR replica. Still a good looking shell. I had a bog standard M03 but a friend bought it. Was it a new M05 kit or second hand that you bought? Plus has anyone seen or bought and used the Blitz C30 210mm WB body on a M03 or 05? Edited March 3, 2014 by TamiyaM05Mini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeMutz Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Used... Will be selling one of the M03 and the M05 next week, they came in a job lot I bought along with a couple of old tamiya buggy's I'll be selling too, only bought the lot as it came with a couple of TT01's, a decent LiPo charger and some other bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me when you want to sell the M05 as I have a mate that could be interested. Could you tell me the ruff spec and what it would come with, also the asking price and condition.
