Just done a really quick paint job on the Mardave Mini body... Call mew mr runny :-( and robbed my bestest servo from my buggy ... So the Mardave is on the cards.

Trued the foam donuts down to size as well.

No diff, no suspension no bother.

Ill post a picture tomorrow night.

Even with a silver can it is near 30mph!

Done some maintenance on the 6 wheeler - new Deans connector, de-fuzz and lube the bearings and motor but more importantly - Operation "Hi Vis" before I completely wreck the body ....

Im feeling the Mardave and 6 wheeler Friday now ..

Bright neon colours FTW. That's why so many RC colour schemes look like they were designed by Mr Motivator

I fully agree!!!

Since we are posting pics of changes to cars, I got rid of the extra large bumpers and made a couple of changes to try and get rid of a little understeer...



PS: I know it is only a lowly TL01... But to my eyes it is a thing of beauty

It looks "ultra clean" and very well kept ...

Disc wheels on a Tamiya though? Premounts are cheaper though

What compound are they?

I'm a little obsessive compulsive when it comes to cleaning RCs after use.

yeah, dished wheels with Sorex 28s. It isn't scale, or Tamiya cool. But performs well I could paint the wheels silver and pretend they are Moon Discs



I'd need a suitable shell though....
