Hey all, Thought I would show another side project i'm working on

This one is a TG-10 mk1 I got it as part of a bulk lot of 3 rc's in various
conditions It had the original Tamiya Subaru shell on it but well scuffed, the wheels had been replace with some cheap nos and left to sit on them so there flat spotted

So as per usual, I did a complete strip and rebuild, strapped some Tamiya racing slicks on her then I managed to pick up a Tamiya Nissan GTR Skyline shell. I have just Finished rebuilding the engine and polishing the pipe now i'm just waiting for some other goodies to arrive

Couple of pic's for ya

Hey all, well i've managed to source some rare E parts for this build the radio battery pack holder and the throtle servo mount most importantly with the bonus cover plate too

Gee I didn't realize it had been over 6 months since I touched this Anyways I finally ordered up a body mount kit for this, the other stuff has ben fitted so I just need to fit a steering servo and a pull start and we should be good to go

Cleaned and setup the throttle and brake linkages tonight, replaced the white ball links for some black ones and set the twin servo horn. I added the steering servo and found a nice upgrade servo saver for it then fitted a nice detail with the red and black on/off cover plate

Nice,
At your place I would mount a aloy air filter support and remove the big blue case. the engine will run better. I put it on my TGX with the hop up tuned exaust pipe. It is amazing.

Nice car you got there Andy.

I'm more into electric powered RC cars, but yours looks really great...

Maybe i should start looking for one of those

Oh yea...i can still hear my wife's words that i should finish my ongoing projects prior buying new ones....

Thanks, I'm probably leaning towards electric more these days I just like the mechanics of the nitro models It seems like the most common words from our wives in relation to this hobby are "what do you need another one for?" or "Where did that come from?"
