Tamiya’s 100th kit. The Top Force. Fully rebuild with stainless hardware and period correct electronics (including the battery). Yokomo MX4 hubs and wheels. I cut out all the green from the decals as it didn’t match my theme. Build thread https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?p=579690#p579690 https...

Got antenna wire tidied, undertray fitted (left it clear), and wing mount all cleaned and polished https://tcphotos.net/images/2025/02/08/IMG_8452.jpeg https://tcphotos.net/images/2025/02/08/IMG_8451.jpeg https://tcphotos.net/images/2025/02/08/IMG_8453.jpeg From here, it’s basically finished, just w...

I wish I had polished my rims like yours, mtbkym01. Funny to see we both use the same rims, screwed by different coloured nuts front and rear. What brand is your esc TP-M II? I´ve never seen this before. Is your SCR1700 NiCd pack in original condition and still okay or have you renewed the shrink t...

Placed my first Factory Works order - have an upcoming project to build a “No Fox Given” vintage racer

Yes, Tamiya changes the front tyres slightly on the re-re kits, and as a result, omitted the labelling. There was a vendor on ebay re-producing the correct tyres a few years ago, I used them on my original restoration and they are perfect copies IMO. Maybe search there to start https://live.staticfl...

Got this to be the backbone of a Factory Works project

Wow that a cool story. The B4 is definitely a “Race” kit, and depending on the engine mount that it comes with may dictate whether a pull start engine will fit. I recommend getting the best engine you can afford, it will be a much more reliable engine, and will be less frustrating without doubt. OS ...

A great day for me

Building one of these up for some Vintage racing, because I didn’t just want to be like everyone else. Starting out with a New Kit https://tcphotos.net/images/2025/02/24/IMG_8467.jpeg With some JC Racing original style 2.2 wheels, and Schumacher Astro Tyres. Also using RC10 wing wire and buttons, an...

Started assembly https://tcphotos.net/images/2025/03/19/IMG_8486.jpeg And I’m into the Novafox kit almost immediately https://tcphotos.net/images/2025/03/19/IMG_8487.jpeg https://tcphotos.net/images/2025/03/19/IMG_8488.jpeg My kit was missing the bits for the front body mount (Which I’m not bothered...

Grabbed an hour or so after work in the hobby room to do a bit more. I’m doing my best to avoid the standard kit screw pins in this build so its good to have these on hand https://tcphotos.net/images/2025/03/20/IMG_8496.jpeg And fitted, they look great IMO https://tcphotos.net/images/2025/03/20/IMG_...

Worked around some areas while waiting for parts https://tcphotos.net/images/2025/03/21/IMG_8501.jpeg https://tcphotos.net/images/2025/03/21/IMG_8500.jpeg https://tcphotos.net/images/2025/03/21/IMG_8502.jpeg https://tcphotos.net/images/2025/03/21/IMG_8503.jpeg Hoping to use a shorty lipo, but will d...

Trimmed the body to test fit, happy so far
