After Restoring the Avante, Top Force Evolution and Top Force (Threads will follow) i felt the need for a 2WD Tamiya. I sourced this at the bay in pretty good condition. The car wasnt titled as Dynastorm so it came at a good price. Let the fun begin:

The Chassis was sanded and polished, because of scratches and glue remains. The Screws/Metal Parts took a bath in the ultrasonic cleaner.

Looking very good! RC10 Protech and Dynastorm are the two most beautiful 2wd's ever done imho :)

Yep TBG *thumbs up*

Never had a bad experience with tbg bodies. Decals are allready here from MCI so in the end the car is half tamiya / half kanada repro :lol:

This build is now finished (for now). Im not 100% satisfied because the body is a little to small in my optinion and the decals are are a little to big, especially on the rear wing. Also i think i used the wrong Tamiya paint (ps-23) for the grey/black area. Does anybody know which one would have been correct?
Front tires are 3 Rip Hop Up Parts, the 2 Rip are $$$.
