I don't know much about the Maxxum FF. Found one on flebay that is FWD. Were they all like that?
FF = Front Forward

Motor in front, like on the Tamiya FF-01 chassis.
That's close.....

FF stands for

Front motor
Front wheel drive

It's a very Japanese naming style....

Ok guys, if its brushless I'm gonna go with the collective opinion.

This car isn't going to see a lot action. Maybe a few trips to the beach or a grass field. So,,...

Do I go 13.5 or 17.5? :?:

Ah, just like they use the letter "W" to say "double" or "option"...

I read the Front Forward thing elsewhere (Tamiyaclub?)

Just need to paint and install the driver's head and detail his torso. :lol: Also, I need to figure out some sort of wing decal.

Ha! Perfect for Halloween! The color is Tamiya red PS-2 and it's a damn good match.

Nice job RichieRich... I sooooooo much prefer the red-based colour scheme compared to the yellow.....

Great work. :!:

I don't get it...
All that nice dirt and they cover it up with roofing paper, or carpet, or whatever that is to run on it?

Well I don't know how dumb this will sound but being this is my first trailing arm car can anyone share how to setup this caster and bar stuff? The manual sort of falls short regarding this matter.
