Never tell me u going stargek today. i can drive u there cos i need some parts too. :o
I spent whole day at home cleaning my ms pro and trying my vs on diff setup haha. but today i also never set the track at the void deck due to bad weather. i only try my setup at my home circuit which is permanantly there for my son to play haha.
Tmr night i don't think so cos maybe i got bowling league. If i never go bowling maybe i go to meet Ben at pasir ris.

miku: so ca, lets use my ultimate sword to cut this box, IKE, ULTIMATE-TOH SWORD-TOH
04112009177.jpg

thanks to miku chan's opening with her sword, the box open with the contents, wheels, led lights and main adapter and of coz the cover

the completed model, miku-chan seems happy with her new car, and realy seems like she can fit inside
05112009179.jpg

the sticker decales of the car, as u can see it is badly done due to the round surface and the sticker goes off by a little
05112009180.jpg

far view, as u can see clearly there are 4 "poles" on the cover, that was used to hold the cover in place, it was actully longer than it was in the pic as i had trimmed it, the reason they giv u a long one it was for u to adjust the downforce as u like for jumping tracks situations, but nowadays RC are inital D styles now

currently full family of tamiya mini 4WD and RC collections, seems like lin and len joins in the fun too

ok jus gt my car and it is complete,i don plan to run it and it is for display only, spend SGD 280, one thing bad abt the car, it does nt comes with a battrey and thus the LED lights in the car could not be lighted up, if realy use for running the LED lights cannot be used as the battrey is replaced by an oil container which of coz not acording to the rules, and also the decales is awsome bt hard to stick on even for experts, this has been a trademark of tamiya ever since they introduce stickers decales and is never improved on, i can understand the difficurty of using stickers, hwever the traditional tamiya water decales are still the best but it is not avalable for RC, as u know the decales are printed on a flat paper, but when u paste the decales on a round shape surface it goes off due to miss angle, so when u follow the lines and paste it acordingly, the sticker will fold unless u hav a flat ruller or something

What oil container is there in TT-01? You mean TT-01 is GP? The 4 poles is actually meant for mounting different bodies also allow you to adjust the body according to your setting of yr car? Err i don think on-road touring have jumps and sort? Reason not providing slide on decals for R/C is because of durability and i think that the decals from Tamiya always made from top quality material since its micron thin and adhered well?

that one i don know lo since i never play RC de, i buy it for display purpose, and it is nt the car that i want, it is the girl inside, i would love it it there is water decales

RC have off road tracks de, saw the videos on youtube, they use those hornet covers, i belive the 4 poles are for this purpose

as for the oil container, actully that is an illegal one, surely u have heard of "oil in an RC car" stuffs, they sort of replace the battrey with the custime made oil container with some sort of petrol so that it will go more faster

well thats all i know about RC, anything i know may not be right

I think there are 2 different thing since you are holding on to a on-road car. That is my first time hearing that, so you mean converting EP to GP?

The oil container is not illegal LOL.. What a wierd thing to say.. :s13:

As dumb-dumb had explained it, there are few different kind of chassis actually.. Radio control car is yet another tough and expensive hobby under Tamiya.. I sort of play it for just awhile and gave it up previously.. Parts are more costly then mini 4wd.. Off-road buggy cars are fun, EP and the motor can be recoiled too.. :s12:

Ep is electric powered and gp is gas powered...u mean u do not know what u are typing or trying to say?

Perhaps he never play RC before and unsure of what he is saying?? :s22:

Its a real nice collection, that RC car.. But I would not have fix it up if its me.. Collection means keeping it nicely in box unused har? :s13:

Tip for you on decals, using a damp sponge, dap lightly on those uneven parts and use a hair dryer.. It will be nicely stick onto the cover and the uneven parts will be gone.. ;D

Yupz.. Pretty common tip for using decals, very often on Tamiya model kits.. If you ask around there will be more other methods.. :s22:
