Ohhh very nice! 

This weekend I have my Grandson staying and yesterday after watching him build a lego model I asked if he would be interested in building an RC model, he was keen.  To get him a bit more interested I charged up the battery for Lunchy#2. It was getting dark so we only went out to the back of the garage for a quick test drive. He said he liked having a drive.



So today I Charged the other battery up and put some old wheels on Lunchy#1 and added an esc and dumborc receiver. Makes it nicer to drive.   The tyres have flat spots but I will sort that out with some sponge. For now I just want to give it a run.

 

We went out to a local Chinese buffet restaurant carpark as its currently closed and we had a good blast. Me with red Lunchy#1 and My grandson with black Lunchy#2 It was his first proper drive where he could open it up.

He rolled it a few times and eventually the test 3D printed mounts gave up.

 

He decided it was safer to stop as the body wouldn't stay on.  

So I had another 10 minutes before the battery started to fade. We then drove home.  

As my grandson had broken the mounts it was only fair that he replaced them, I had some spare prints so he put them on. 







Lunchy's are not the easiest or most stable cars to drive so for a first time driver he did really well, and for fixing an RC car for the first time he did really well too. 
I think he is on the way to having his own at some point. He wants to help build Lunchy#3 so when its time he will be there.

Yeahhhh Lee you did it awesome. Parking isn't the best place to run a lunchy to. But for a first, your grandson has abilities. That's funier than the video games.  

Trying to make one good car from 2 less than good ones today …
Still love the ta01

The right one is a onroad early version with the blue shocks. One of my favourite chassis.

And with the curved bumper. M3 e30 or Mercedes 190 or the first Skyline

Absolutely correct, used to be the 190 evo, the rally version is the one I want to use though, belongs to a celica

My wife offered me the  e30 tt01 some years ago. And now body and rims are on a ta01.

The Ta01 is a much better chassis than any of the tt0-poo models

I rewired all my motors. Rebuilt 3 and puted in the trashcan dead ones.
