In 1981 Tamiya launched into a new segment of off-road vehicles with their 1/10 4wd electric Toyota Hilux. Constructed almost entirely out of metal Tamiya’s new pickup doubled down on the scale realism that made the SRB line so popular. The Hilux featured a pair of rectangular tube drop rails connec...

Here we are exactly one month later and the board started lagging badly again. Looked at the server monitor and yup, it's at 100% load. :? I logged into Cloudflare to try and figure out what was going on, and after much detective work it seemed like we were being inundated by Hong Kong. I blocked al...

Sorry to hear about the Alclad II, I used that on Lexan and it came out decent when backed in black: https://i.imgur.com/E2Zo9MY.jpg https://i.imgur.com/N7SJv4M.jpg https://i.imgur.com/IlFArEX.jpg The best Chrome spray I have seen, for regular ABS, or PLA, is Revell Chrome Spray, it looks like mirro...

I usually test this on my wife and her eyes gloss over instantly. Today I said, let me tell you about the JRX Pro vs Pro Se and she turned around and walked away, I got the hint

Must admit I'm a little underwhelmed, Other than the LWB Chassis, radio plate and belt/covers, its no different to my original RERE. I appreciate its not a clone, and its a representation, still they have parts in their catalogue they could of included. It doesn't have sway bars OTW135 No Ball diffe...

If you don't get anywhere on finding an acceptable green you can always take a wheel to an automotive paint supplier near you (PPG, Dupont, etc.) they'll scan it with a spectrometer then sell you that color single stage enamel in a ready to spray aerosol can.

I want to point out that it's a rerelease not an exact copy of the original with some things changed around to deal with modern conditions. There are some weird choices for sure, like that chassis hole layout. The ball diffs are a curious choice but they also still supply all of their offroad rere m...

Looks like you'll be able to get some of the special parts, separately.

Here's the awesome decal sheet included, for example: Lets make a Jay Halsey edition. It's a basic stripe paint scheme that anyone can do with masking tape and rattle cans - let's cover most of the body with stickers to replicate it. Lets make a Brian Kinwald edition.

Finding those HPI 911 Fuch's after all of that time, and with the staggered size front and rear, was incredible! 8) https://i.imgur....

Thanks! https://i.imgur.com/S0vIi2W.jpeg For me, it would be easier to get those curved lines that are blue, painted entirely blue first, and then masked over with curve tape to add the white. That's a really fine line that I want to try to make as sharp as possible, and the white needs to appear to...

Got the wheel hubs painted. https://i.imgur.com/ZROUV7D.jpeg Will wait for these to dry and then put the tires on them. Will mount and paint the tires today. The body and top in TS-10. https://i.imgur.com/okyRjod.jpeg Ran out of TS-10, another can is on the way. Will wet sand this coat smooth when i...
