@MarkyDents, did you ever get tires for these? I'm trying to get the 5 bean version of these Mini-Mags reproduced, would you mind if I used your excellent pics to show the machinist how it was done? Can I also use your pics for reference in my, RC Corvette The Dead Pool thread? Those rims are sweet...

D-Hawk said this is the start of the Chinese New Year, so it might be a bit before they can get started on the wheels. I asked Mid-America - https://slotcarstore.net/pages/1-10-Car-Bodies-U2679.html - if they would remake the Parma '63 Vette #10218 - AKA The Dead Pool body. I'll report back what the...

Spoiler cut and ready to mount. https://i.imgur.com/dslFici.jpg Used tape to keep things centered: https://i.imgur.com/0TNjsRn.jpg Tried to get things square and even with the mounting screws. https://i.imgur.com/TqLhy6W.jpg The GT spoiler sticker lettering is slightly farther apart than the boxart ...

Bolink bodies made it here today. https://i.imgur.com/9oAeNB8.jpg Test fit the RC10. https://i.imgur.com/KthiSJe.jpg This is as good of a fit, or the same as the Parma body it appears. https://i.imgur.com/y8HAhET.jpg Comes with window masks, and that's it, no decals. https://i.imgur.com/CW2mdIy.jpg ...

Have white, silver, gun metal and black for backing colors now. Will test the strip tomorrow.

The blade on the cutter for these HPI decals must've been really dull. I would start pulling the decal off the sheet, and it would bind and tear. Had to use the Tamiya Decal Scissors to cut a lot of these, that's what took so long, and I'm still not done. https://i.imgur.com/yaP0uTj.jpg The hood dec...

Was able to get a brand new Kyosho Fazer MK2 Fleetside, offered the eBay seller $210, and he took it. I always look for auctions with Make an Offer, good deals to be had out there.


Now to find a couple more used cheap chassis's.

Recently built a Tamiya VW Bus model, and wanted to go all magnetic body posts to keep a scale look. Also added the Tamiya TLU-1 LED kit, and found it was a hassle to constantly plug and unplug the ElecHawk light switch module in to the 3rd channel on the receiver every time the body needed to be re...

'67 Marina Blue Metallic is the factory color this one came with, it has the 976 paint code stamped on the plate under the glove box. https://i.imgur.com/AKmUmsB.jpg https://i.imgur.com/gXpJ1ux.jpg https://www.corvsport.com/marina-blue-1967-chevrolet-corvette/ I have PS-55, but I used it to dull the...

I would think PS49 could get you there with the correct backing. tamiya-ps-paint-chips-2e4c.jpg I was checking that PS-49 out, but it has a matte anodized finish, while it could pass if I weren't being too particular, it doesn't have the right blue overall, Sky PS-49 looks like silver over blue, I ...

Got some wheel options for the FZ02. HPI black, HPI matte chrome, and the included 5-slot chrome wheels. https://i.imgur.com/2jFFpFz.jpg That's Alclad II in the spray can, thinking about making those black rims, chrome. The little disc brake rotors which are non-functional, except to adapt the wheel...

Car is lookin' good. Especially from that low 3/4 view. 👌 Hard choice on the wheels... I dig the Torq Thrusts with the darker blue. Lets the Rallys go on your tribute car to match the original. Looking at the screwhead on the Rallys, wondering if the wheels were painted black and chrome screw caps ...
