FunkyChiken Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 My brother had a tamiya rc, was really technical and great fun to build, I have heard that now, they are simple... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnuts Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 Well she is finished. And she is very robust (let my grandson have a go) he's 2 got a lot of crashing and rough handling but there is not a mark on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikevillena Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 From my extensive experience, I strongly recommend cleaning up the wheel well cuts as any jagged edges causes a stress riser and the bodyshell will invariably crack at those points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikevillena Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 BTW, that's a TT-something chassis which is Tamiya's generic 1/10 'ish scale. With the Porsche 911 bodyshell combo it scales out to about 1/9th. The Tamiya wheel's width and offset is horribly off and doesn't help the off scale appearance. HPI produced a line called "Cup Racer" and is a lot closer to 1/10th scale. Tamiya also produced a line called the "M" chassis which was closer to 1/10th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
