Was told I can use this stuff in place of shoe goo cause I didn’t have any handy it ate right thru my paint and made a little problem much worse! Just don’t look at it too close I guess lessons learned! For info I did use Tamiya ps spray cans for this paint.
Just back instock from my local hobby shop.
I only bought one.I heard that they are discontinued?
Look to get another on for my next car. I only heard good things about them. Haven't try it yet.
Recently picked up this chassis very cheaply and decided to turn into front wheel drive as already got another ta03f 4 wheel drive, chucked on basher shell and changing electrics next
It's starting to take shape. No idea if it will hold any of the paint though. Nothing like a coat of grey primer to reveal all your sins
From what I can tell the fronts are 5mm hex and the rear are pins?
It's been quite hard finding hop,-ups or information on what part numbers I need.
Not worried about if it's Tamiya or not. I can also 3d print if that's possible, using petg or strong filament but there are no stl files anywhere for the db01/durga.
Honda City Turbo w a Motocompo in the trunk. Brushless motor. Lead weight at center and low areas of chassis. Still a WIP.
At first I wanted the Monster Beetle or Blackfoot, also considered the Hot Shot II but from what I've read the BBX has so many modern upgrades which pretty much makes it the best Tamiya RC car money can buy (except for the Avante).
I've also read that the BBX is a fairly difficult build and better as a 2nd or 3rd build but I doubt my wife will let me buy 2 or 3 of these...
Hello everyone,
I’m currently building Tamiya’s 1/35 German King Tiger (Tiger II), and I noticed something that I’m not sure is correct.
As you can see in the pictures, the rear idler wheel on the right side does not touch/overlap the last road wheel, while on the left side the idler wheel does touch the last road wheel.
I’ve double-checked the instructions and I’m quite sure I didn’t make any assembly mistakes. I’ve also noticed that other people seem to have a similar difference on their builds.
So, is this actually normal for the King Tiger, or is there something wrong with my model/assembly?
I’d really appreciate it if anyone with experience with this kit or the real Tiger II could clarify this for me.
Thanks!
Got this old M02 from Japan and slowly working through replacing cracked and damaged parts with 3D printed asa pieces I've been working on in tinkercad.
Eventually want to get the entire thing done fully in tinkercad and chuck it up on thingiverse as a open source project for people.
Even custom middle chassis that can take square shorty lipos eventually (still need to work on eyeballing the sway bar mount locations)
Will still need tamiya metal hardware and shocks but I want even the transmission gears to be able to be 3D printed and still take the factory amount and size of bearings and a cutting jig for the shafts needed for the gearbox ( the diff is the same parts as the m03)
Tires on this are custom f104 wheel rim combo cause they've been sitting in a box
I have bought some df02 arms to widen the trackwidth
This is what happens to the wishbones when the lower damper mounts touch the street. This is just a reminder that aluminium doesn't endure everything.
DT04 Chassis with baring kit in SWB, used Tamiya paints made a lot of mistakes but had a blast. new wheels are needed. and i need to build and paint my driver. 🫡
Obviously tamiya RC cars only come with motors. Do I have to go and buy individual parts? I bought the discontinued electronic kit off of eBay, but I was looking at tamiyas website and I couldn’t find any real remotes and just parts to buy. Where do yal get parts?
