TOPIC:

Are you referring to the Technituned motor? Yes, I wish I could find other evidence of different size and rotated decals. The wires are an easy swap. My dilemma is not knowing if it's original and do I leave it alone, or slap on an MCI decal correctly positioned? I suppose I should also test to see if it runs at the claimed rpms for a Technituned, maybe even compare the rotor to the one I know is correct.
 
 

Wires should be red and black and bigger diameter. And silicon protector on wires.

I'm realy glad with this body. It will go in the south of france to be on a m04l.

Don't think it's the Technigold knockoff either (MFA RX-15). They seems to be a tad more yellow in the gold than the real ones.
And like Flo said, the orginal Technigold har red and black fiberglass sleeved wires (you can see that in my BigWig thread)

I had 2 sticks to empty today, so I decided to try the mf01x. Really fun to drive with the rear motor. A little overturn on gravel. But the issue with the higher trimming is that the left rear dogbone lives its life alone anytime. My solution is to put all lower arms in low trimming. Very fun drive with this 4wd mchassis. Next test on tarmac😋

Did some run this morning indoor at the club nearby. 1 pack passed with  the M05, and I damaged the printed body mount. Need to reprint some or find better solution...
Back home I finalized the design for the Marui 2WD transmission (it will be a strong one)
WIth teh Super Wheelie, I got a working 2.4G small remote with a RX. I swap the RX in the Hornet, and will give it a go as spare ride we can hand to some kids around to play when we are around playing with rc cars at vintage event. Hornet and Hoppers are always good and funny to run, and it could be a good start for kids to play with (as matter of fact, I don't use the car anyore, as I prefer the Lunchbox for the same type of usage)...

I went to the Porsche museum in Stuttgart recently.  It was fascinating how many cars I knew specifically because of their Tamiya counterparts.  Here's one thing I found interesting.  It is well known how the legendary Tamiya Porsche 959 used an extremely fragile blow molded body that always ends up getting cracks and holes.  Now that I've seen the real car, it turns out that all the severely damaged Tamiya bodies are perfectly accurate!

I love this car

Little love for the XX tonight, Cut the outer curves and dremeled the inner curves on the original body Cleaned up the wing and fitted some stickers, I have a new body to paint and sticker but this one was in such good condition it would have been a shame not to tidy it up Is Nice

 

Too nice.
