That is great! You transformed it! The bathtub is what makes so many Tamiya buggies seem toy-like compared to the "real" racers.

Honestly though, my lazy @$$ would have just bought a Javelin :lol:

Just excellent Ryo , been watching this on FB and it's just perfect , Tamiya should have done this in the first place :!:
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

The bathtubs were what made Tamiya cars Tamiya ones.
So I don't blame them for going for simplicity and efficiency. :lol:
But now we have the tools to design variants and actually make them real, it's even funnier to practice the hobby, I think.

Thanks a lot! I recommend to try Fusion360, it's free for personal version. It's really not that complicated.
