So, what are you running next week?

For me, it'll be my trusty Hobao H2 that I haven't run for 4 months

Dave Dodd 31-08-2013 07:18 PM

I'll be running my Dave in gt12

cunawarit 31-08-2013 09:13 PM

I'll try both off-road and clubman for the first few weeks before settling on one.

reg 31-08-2013 10:46 PM

Cool, fibreglass chassis like the Mardaves from back in the day!

Chris56 02-09-2013 07:19 PM

Liking the Audi Shell, although it would look equally good with your Ford Anglia from your mini

The Doctor 02-09-2013 08:46 PM

This, in Touring hopefully (non-championship scoring). This was an earlier pic of the chassis before final finishing, but the layout hasn't changed. Can't wait to run it. Was an early '90s Tamiya Jaguar XJR-12 Group C with original plastic tub chassis, but now has the F104 motor pod and bespoke "DrOCD-01" FRP chassis in a delightful shade of korma-beige.

When did you start wearing sandals? :D

Be growing a beard next.

The Doctor 03-09-2013 01:51 PM

I was waiting for that comment. Beard is coming along nicely, thanks, as is the straw bed and donkey transport.

Just to confirm - the sandals are not scratchbuilt.

Just spotted the sandals, something is seriously wrong..............




..............you forgot to put your socks on:p:p

The Doctor 03-09-2013 09:32 PM

Actually I was only wearing the sandals when I took the photo. It was really hot that day so I thought I'd let it all hang out. Avoided all soldering for fear of personal injury.

Anyway, back to the DrOCD-01 chassis- she's a beauty! Just got to wire up the speedo and she'll be ready to roll. :thumbsup:

Just wish the FRP came in a better colour.

Rit Dye may work, I've dyed a couple of new grey plastic Traxxas parts black so they look period with the rest of the Bandit.

This is my ride for Friday, the newly rebuilt TL01:

PS: The old Mtroniks speedo in the TL01 failed and the motor wires came dislodged as well... who know how or why. I think the motor wires was my kids doing and the ESC just plain bad luck or the TL01's curse that as soon as it sniffs racing it starts to play up... It worked great as a drifter for MONTHS!

Anyway, I have enough brushed ESCs at home to last me the whole summer. :D

cunawarit 04-09-2013 01:33 PM

Sand scorpions? Sounds like quite a beach...

The Doctor 04-09-2013 03:27 PM

Hmm, nice name for a Tamiya buggy. Cue crappy '80s music....

"Tarmeeya Plarstic Model Company, dezigners of high performance radio control off road doon buggies introdooses....

THE SAND SCORPION!

Off road suspension for high performance on any terrain. Dool independent suspension for ground hugging control. Strong aloominum chassis components represent the latest in model automotive technology. Reelistic ABS plarstic body designed to represent a real desert racer.

Now you can be a winner on any track.

THE SAND SCORPION - noo from Tarmeeya Plarstic Model Company."

Except Tamiya would probably call it the Hyper Plazma Chamaelion. :woot:
