Good evening to all, name is Dave I'm from Bolton, and I'm currently rocking 3 TB-01's. One being a shelf queen, one having a shelf queen chassis and the other as a work in progress runner.

Had my runner since 2001, recently ventured to Traxxas and Hobao, but Tamiya is where the heart is. I'm a mechanical engineer by trade, and I play with little cars as the wife has banned me from having bigs ones lol

Welcome, Dave. That's a cool chassis - some pics are always nice.

Welcome on board Dave. Tb01 are fun chassis. Like Said edou, we like collection's pictures.

Welcome & enjoy. I had to give up the Japaneese turbo vehicles to keep mine happy but she allowed a couple of motorcycles to help keep the sanity. I've found RC drifting a really good alternative for when there's no time to ride & we have a huge driveway around the back of the house. Are really lucky as the son is a natural & taught me how to. Are running an old Losi XXXS G+ car & it's just as much fun as the boy's latest & greatest.

The Impreza is the shelf queen. With lights front and rear and a box condition chassis

The Citroen has a box condition chassis but not body. It also has several hop ups

Thanks for the welcomes

Id like to get into drifting. I just dont have the time to practice, and hopefully my next purchase will be Neo Scorcher

I started with a dirt thrasher with drift rims going round in circles both ways in my spare time. You can get a steering gyro that does most of the work & looks good even if you can't drift.

It's something I'll no doubt give a shot at some point

If you can invest in a set of 12mm hex drift wheels with ABS tires they'll last forever & fit any Tamiya 4wd 1/10 vehicle. I know the PVC tires can be cheaper but IMHO they don't work as well & last as long. I've still got the original set I learnt with a brushed motor & ESC. Have since changed to using Tamiya slicks but that is something for when you're comfortable with the hard tires.
