A few tamiya rc cars

[sweetmk1dub]

So a few xmas's back i bought the older boy a tamiya tt02 lancia delta,
since then its been given some upgrades to make it more competitive when he takes it to the local rc car club on their indoor track.
As it looked fun I got myself one to go racing too.
It gets addictive, there are a further 4 tamiyas here now 🙂.

Shelf car on another tt02 chassis (the older lads favourite car)



Mf-01x rally beetle.



Pumpkin




And a tt02 buggy chassis, brushless motor set up in this so its the most lively one out of the bunch.



We took these 4 to a gravelly carpark today for a play and took the younger boy with us so he could have a go too.
Guess who now wants his own race car.

I've had a few VW's and Buggies in the past.

this was the last one I sold ( should have kept it )






this was a project which I never actually finished

Love the Beetle, had the conventional chassis a while back, went out of range and it full throttled itself into a wall and I never replaced it 🤣 will get another when the boy is a bit bigger, already have a QuickDrive Subaru for him to bash

Cheers all, the baja beetles look like a good compromise between a road car and a buggy.
ive got a soft spot for the beetle, its the younger lads favourite too but not suitable for the class he will run in at the local car club so he'll need a tt02.
I asked him what bodyshell he wants and his only stipulation is "old rally car", good lad.

L&L Models is the place to go for the shells then!

I have on old TA03F Pro with a Opel Calibra DTM shell that I use on the road. Youngest want to build a rally car at Christmas this year, so one of those will be on the way. Mk2 Escorts are his favourite rally car.

I’ve got a few Tamiya… cars.


Thread’s here if anyone hasn’t spotted it. Save cluttering up this thread. Some cool old school RC’s, keep up the posts!

Plenty to choose from at L+L.
We had these e30's from there as our first track shells, now in the shell graveyard in the loft .
The buggy, beetle and pumpkin are now gone, ive picked up another tt02 for the youngest to join us and bought upgrades.

Just the 4 tt02s now, at least its easier to keep a spares package.
