I'm guessing it makes you a wheelophile? :wink: Anyway, those look nice. Where did you find them? BTW, a word of caution when you are fitting the body. Drill the front body post hole last and ignore the center point that is marked -- it's way too far aft. :x Wheelophillia :D, or rimplaysia. Thanks!...

Finally managed to go pick mine up.

Anyone know the name of the condition, or sickness, that compels one to build the wheels first, with every model? https://i.imgur.com/CFTap5r.jpg Can't quit doing this. Cart before the horse syndrome? IDK but I did the same thing and I'm not even using the wheels right now. They're just so cool loo...

The D-Hawk bearing adapter is not really necessary IMHO. "Should I put bearings in this kit, or are there any other improvements I could make in the gear box while it's open ?" Bearings is yes. The best investment in a 6 gear transmission is taking the burrs off the teeth of all the metal ...

Personally I do both, depends on my mood and trust of cut lines. Tamiya or kyosho bodies no problem. I do not trust AE cut lines or holes. I would get it mounted first then paint. For the body mount holes I like to leave the posts off and get the body fitting properly, then add the rear post by look...

Wheelophillia :D, or rimplaysia. Google Rimplaysia and check out what the first result is... too funny. Those wheels are super deluxe. I need a set. :D It's like the Sees directionals Horizon Hobby put on the 10T for their Andy's Ad... one day I was fine, then came... I need a set. :lol: Horizon 10...

What am I missing? All I see is @XLR8's post, and the wheel pics I posted, also some Maximum Overdrive happening. Rimplaysia Google Results.jpg Your post at the top of the page is the first result. Not the first of one million results, but the first result... ever. You just created history. Sure, i...

Are you guys cutting out the body and then painting it, or painting it first, and then cutting it out? Is there a benefit one way or the other? https://i.imgur.com/V3s6DGw.jpg I noticed Andy's sells his painted first, or not cut out. I had Andy's paint my 40th body. I hate and am terrible at trimmi...

Thank your for the solution for this... Spektrum was no help.

Came with real netting attached to the roll cage.

That looks great!
Did it include the painted driver?

Here is one of mine I have done and the decals have all stuck just fine.

That's some nice work, Mike. It looks great with the CC decals.

Anyway, you just can't beat painted stripes.

For decals, I just warm the vinyl with a hair dryer, then press and hold them down tightly with my thumb while the vinyl cools and they will stay in place.

Just a little FYI, the two panels before and after the shock tower are black on box art. I reckon AE has included these masks so customers can personalize their builds -- which is good. Also, box art has side and front windows removed and I've done that in the past but I probably won't do it the 40t...

Speaking of personalized builds, one member on TC has built this beauty: https://i.ibb.co/dBTVcB9/IMG-3078.jpg I think the gold anno with the light blue color he selected looks amazing! You can read about the build and see more pics here: https://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?/topic/106419-wtcc...
