It was such a slow roll over on a gravel surface I can't quite believe how broken it is.

When I got it yesterday the shocks had no oil in them - I filled them and it pissd out the fronts in a minute.
The diffs despite being very free, feel and sound like there is a pinch of sand in them.
I know it's cheap but the one I have got is a POS compared to what I have been led to believe...... I am clearly easily influenced....

Meanwhile Raz Shifrin is influencing me to go ton up with the infraction.....

And not just at the cheaper end - when I smashed my X-Maxx up, upon taking it all apart I noticed one of the hinge pins on the lower-front A-arms was far too short, they'd put the wrong pin in at the factory!

It's all Proline arms and GPM screwed hinge pins now, I've even put some GPM pins on the inboard side where they'll fit. Not taken it out yet though.

Chassis done and shell cut out. Annoyed a little paint flaked off as I cut it out, always hate this bit of any build, but can touch up later. Might start the stickers tomorrow but need good light to see what I’m doing.

And remember to peel off the protective film before applying decals!

Would have done but this shell comes prepainted wink Will hopefully get it finished next weekend, a bit stuck this time of year as too dark after work to see to do the fiddly bits.

My beloved Monster Beetle, to replace the one that got used to death decades ago. This one will just sit on a shelf forever more, but hugely nostalgic building and spraying it.

An unexpected long weekend free means I can finally dive in to my re-re Kyosho Javelin (with a few choice extras) which is destined for display. Up to the end of bag E - love the legendary Optima series.

Was lucky enough to get one of these. Not sure how many Tamiya actually produced but believe there is a limited world wide run. Could have come with a few more hop ups and bling bits tbh.

It’s a great build.

A bit of a mish mash of tamiya parts colour wise. Motor is a small 2845 brushless which is perfect for these vintage design gearboxes.
