Added some colour today, I'll leave it to harden over the week before I mask for some Black detail

 

Nice...... and great workshop too.

Nice Andy! Looking forward to another finished Brat in our circle! 

Filament roll goes towards end, not enough for next big prints, so its figure time for my local rc club again.

 

Pushed through the heat of today to setup the B3 goodness ready for a run tomorrow Fabricated a stainless ESC mount, Finished out the electrics and trimmed the body. No time for any fancy paint work so I went with Metallic blue backed with bright silver

 

 

 

Well a fun track day today Ran several cars ( Team Associated B6.4, Team Associated B3, Kyosho Pro-X and gave the Custom Holiday Bush Brat a spin ) 

 

Definitely the coolest looking car on the track.

Today I removed the front end and steering servo from the questionably vintage Boomerang I picked up recently, and confirmed it's a re-re. The inside chassis pic speaks for itself. The front bumper also has a notched opening, as the re-re kits have. What I don't understand is the installation of old radio equipment and no bands on the dogbones (confirmed there are bands on the re-re kits). to be fair, the seller did mention being unsure if it was vintage or re-re. I went in rolling the dice, but as mentioned before, the price was less than a new re-re plus it has a Technigold in beautiful shape (confirmed it has the right number and pattern of tuning adjustments - not an imposter wearing a decal).

I have a new body I plan to do up box art anyway, so at this point I'm thinking swap out all the old radio equipment and embrace the fact it's a re-re and drive it like I stole it?

What would TamiyaBase do?

 
 

I finally finished the retro bird feeder i bought at Cults3d.

You might as well enjoy it. It’s being re- released this summer so if you break anything, you’re good for spares.
Drive it.
