Another problem with making the above part to be soldered/melted on is that its not the same plastic and might not work well or have the same melting point .

If you have any you could try acetone(nail varnish remover) on a piece of the plastic and see if it softens or melts it , if so then ABS would work . Alternatively I could make the rivet part longer and it could be melted into a rivet head , problem then is that the decals go over the joint .

Sudden realisation...wheels on this zerda are originals even if the tyres are crap. Need to remove shitty paint job and find 1.75 inch/44mm inner dia tyres. Some JConcepts 3087's might work. They are for 1.7 wheels but easy stretchable. They have an 81mm OD and are 37mm wide (on 32mm wheel). Screen...

I was thinking Mardave Apache stuff is pretty rare to be repurposing .

Lucy escaped his vivarium again and as I bumbled half asleep to the bathroom there he was on the radiator this morning . IMG_20220903_081216_478.jpg You've told him about energy cuts then? A male snake named Lucy... A boy named Sue?? His full name is Lucifer as my daughter is into the TV series (ve...

Just saw on Facebook that TBG are now or soon able to make drivers for the Zerda , someone sent in an original to copy

Can anyone share any tips or tricks on how they are refinishing their XX era motor guards? Trying to clean up a few runners and wanted to get them looking better. Thanks in advance!

Body doesn't suit the buggy. Too modern IMO.

eam Losi Mini 8IGHT Alloy Hex Adapter - 4pcs set - GPM M8010 (M8010)

Use these to use 12mm hex type wheels. Fit stock axles without modification.

It's a very varied world when it comes to taste and every choice is valid with old school RC , I'm very sure that many people hate the idea of 3d printed parts on old cars .

The world is a better place with one fewer pigeon in it. Tell Em that I have some mockingbirds that taste even better than pigeons. I have to say pigeons don't put their shit in bags and hang it in trees and it's easier to wipe off shoes.....I like dogs but some owners are the ones needing training...

I always think white looks more "plastic" than other colours? Reminiscent of nylon. How much water!!! for two steering horns. We've got a drought and hose pipe ban here (UK) But if that's your pref ga These actually look the correct nylon white for associated . This batch came out much mo...

That front bumper looks like a super champ/ sand scorcher

Think these are tamiya bits? Came with some worn wheels that look like holiday buggy and sand scorcher. If anyone needs any of these bits let me know.Screenshot_20221005-205305.png The roll hoop , fibreglass part and axles are all Tamiya Sand Rover , also the grey plastic piece is the front body mo...
