All it took was to crash a Kawada RX430, then graft the debris onto a F103

First gen fantom didn’t have front springs. The more popular MKII did. Really just depends on what they copied. This car more resembles a first gen, but I suspect they will add things such as the front springs. Rear suspension was simply chassis flex as with most pan cars of the day. The chain wasn...

Congratulations, you've correctly assrmbled your pumpkin.

All jokes aside that is exactly what should happen due to the differential in the gearbox.

I'm gonna be that guy to dredge up an old thread. If there was ever a custom build thread that was worth dredging up, this is one of them... I absolutely love this build! I was really hoping that by the time I got to the end of the thread, there would be a link to a video of it running :cry: :cry: I...

just saw it myself after u dredged it up...
quite possibly the best build ever done...ever!

Thanks for the kind words fellas. I still don't have a camera that can record decent footage. Life seems to get in the way of RC plans sometimes.

There will be a video though. I think a lot of people would like to see it running.

Thanks again.

Way back in the day I had a Hotshot , it was pretty good to race at first but was soon eclipsed by other cars like the Optima and CAT , so my hotshot kind of started to develop in order to keep up , this first picture is something I'd forgotten I'd done till i found these picture , at this point I'd...

The TMS version was one I hadn't heard of bitd actually, but somebody did find an new in packet TMS chassis complete with instructions. Looks cool. I have nabbed this picture from another forum so apologies in advance to the pic owner... good for reference on this thread however. img297_14022004000...

Got started on fitting steering servo , decided that while waiting for the real chassis i can start drilling holes in the prototype to check fit , I'm thinking this position is quite space efficient . https://i.imgur.com/ZkpBUkjl.jpg I used the kit servo saver parts to make up a raised more central ...

:D This my new project based on a Tamiya Blackfoot from 1986 Found this one in a french forum Good shape and a nice price https://i.ibb.co/84KtcBv/20210114.jpg https://i.ibb.co/5B14bRR/20210117.jpg Seeing it without its bodywork give me the idea to built a "Truck Racer" as we could have do...

People complain about the price of Tamiyas compared to most others, while they don't make their models in China. Guangdong and Fujian provinces are the worlds manufacturing capital for consumer electronics, so it's always going to be the place to go to get something like an rc model built. There are...

Almost worked as planned Javelin has now lights... I will update the thread and repost the parts on Thingiverse as it seem my original publication is not visible, not sure why... https://i.imgur.com/0OmJQEO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/MIao72H.jpg https://i.imgur.com/6nMhKCu.jpg https://i.imgur.com/eld0H...

My Trinity Evo 10 roller with Andy's Mercedes Sauber body, and Lavco livery paint.

I threw on some BSR spec tires for the time being. Since I plan on doing some parking lot running, I'm thinking that some CRC wheels and rubber F1 tires sounds like a good idea.
