Have replaced the front diff, and replaced all the electronics with nicer stuff. Cyclone.jpg So many stupid issues: - Brushless motors don't all fit properly, because of...

While there won't be any in that box, there are some around the place.... sadly, my next (first) trip to Indiana might be somewhat delayed.....

Any truck front wheel that fits Tamiya will generally fit a Storm 2000. Whilst the axle is 4mm on the Storm, and (usually) 5mm on the Tamiyas, the bearings are usually 840 / 850, meaning that the 8mm outer diameter is all you need to match.

Sadly, they're glued on,and fairly worn, so would need a dose of acetone vapour. The third pa...

Given my painting skills, I would do a replica of my own instead of the Bob Glidden version. And who doesn't love a matt black bonnet?

What this be and why aren’t there enough holes in it ??

Tamiya M04 build week recently.... gave this the once-over, ready for a new home: M04_01.jpg M04_02.jpg and built these up from a big lot of parts I got a little while ago: M04_03.jpg Sadly, I don't have any spare 225mm Mini bodies other than a couple of Protoform SoCal panel wagons.... so they will...

We were a little concerned about that as well.... but didn't seem to phase him.... after a little while of rest, was off on another adventure.
