Not much but something 😊 Replaced the rod ends and connected the steering then fitted the wheels, Still waiting for some new servos to arrive 😶

 

Had a decent snowstorm here in NH on Saturday so on Friday I ran some errands in the ol 4WD sleigh (Fall Guy truck) when I found myself at home and stuck in the truck as I could not get out. The inner door handle simply swinging in the breeze. After unrolling the window and using the outer handle to extricate myself from truck I found the inner rod had lost its C clip and then jumped out.

Moments later I was in the mancave rummaging through my Tamiya hardware and found a suitable clip and within minutes it was fixed.

My 1:1 truck is now part Tamiya!!   

My Mondeo did have a Deans connector for the removeable reverse spotlight 
And my current Volvo has a modified servo arm to hold the reflector inside the headlight after the said part broke during transit. 

Sold the three Buggy Champ bodies, along with a few other bits including the green Wild Willy 2 body that was surplus to requirements thanks to the rust/blue body, and one of the "full face" Willy drivers - but no interest in the "prototype" or hybrid Multipurpose driver Willys.

Also, as a "new seller", eBay will be holding on to each payment for an extra two weeks

 

Classic ATS rim i am modeling currently. Will do 2 versions for m-chassis and tt-chassis.
 

Printed with 0.6mm nozzle since i was too lazy. Tomorrow i will switch back to a 0.4mm nozzle and print with 0.08mm layer height.
Also added an option with a fake tire sidewall for the touring car rim .

 
 

When i woke up this morning everything was white. Had do use the few hours it lasts. Unfortunally it was very wet snow, so not much driving was possible.

 

 

Hand painted because no other option currently.
 

Changed out the servo and completed the rest of the electrics installation, Still waiting for the new hardened pinions so no test run yet but she's ready to race 😗

 

Also started servicing My HotShot II racer, Changed out the servo and re routed the esc wires through the on/off swicth hole, During a race the battery wires which hang out a lot from the factory allowance were caught and broke off the connector 😮 So a DNF. Need to rebuild the rear shocks as the lower seals have gone, I also have new red alloy front hubs to fit. Have a new Torque tuned for it but will wait for the new pinion before installing 😊 Along with the Box art Fire Dragon and Super Sabre racers I have a Penguin HotShot II body coming for it to do in box art, I'll also have a box art Super Shot body because I really want to see them racing around hahaha.
