The latest addition to my fleet.

A budget friendly Christmas build using an LC Racing PTG-TC chassis kit which has exceeded my price based expectations by quite some margin.
Went together really well, fitted with bits I had lying around including a sensored 8.5t motor and running 3s it goes well.

Built to be used for hard/imperfect surface running at a regular casual racing/lapping thing I do with a couple of mates, fitted with a killerbody alfa shell.

I really liked the LC Racing mini buggy I built. The 1 /10 buggy is on my list for at some point.

For the money and intended purpose it's a bargain compared to a TT02 and i didn't fancy a rally car chassis.

On another note, seeing as this thread is mostly about wheeled RC. Here's my CrossRC Ural 4320 completed in the summer. And a cheeky glider build complete with travel case and about a 1000lumens of LEDs...yet to be maidened

The Cross looks amazing - lovely work. Was it a good build?

Finally finished my MST MTX1 - I'd wanted a "proper" monster truck for ages. Couldn't find the blue body one so I came up with my own colour scheme and decals (well, Cricut-cut vinyl) for the one with the yellow wheels. Masking wasn't perfect but I'm calling that character.





The MST was a superb build - very satisfying, and everything fits together well.

This needs to go in the frivolous purchase thread really.
Treated myself to another Heli.
OMP M2 V3 pro.
Must be mad as it's taken me two years to get so they others come home in one piece more often than notlaugh
I've done RC for over 40 years but nothing prepared me for how hard Hell's would be.
Will probably stay a shelf queen for as long as possible.

By proper, does that mean it has a solid rear axle?

Both axles solid. And a pickup body. Which is my definition of "proper" - it might be wrong!

The chassis is done to look like a space-frame too, which I thought was a nice touch.

That looks very proper! I can't find a reseller, where did you get it from?

Asiatees.com - wasn't in stock, so took a couple of weeks.

I bought the metal suspension links at the same time as I'd heard that the plastic ones aren't very strong. All the plastics seem tough and well moulded though. I'm strongly inclined to do another MST.

Something a little different!
I have many Tamiya Minis but when this turned up NOS I had to go for it!
It's an ABC Hobby product, their own body shell on their Genetic M Chassis which in itself is a beautiful piece of engineering.
The body comes with separate bumpers and a great sticker sheet which mimics wood. I added a few 3d printed parts like the surfboard, number plate and exhaust.

That's so cool!

That body would be great on a drift chassis too.

That is epic! Very, very cool.

A full size real one would be incredible.

Very cool!

ABC Hobby made, and still do make some real nice and quite unique models and kits.

I have one of their Lotus 7 Kits completed and unused sat in my loft.

It’s this one.

I really should get around to building it someday.
