Well it all arrived today: Tamiya FF01 chassis, £13 pre-painted body and some Ansmann wheels/slick tyres.

Car wasn't ballraced but I had enough spare bearings to do the gearbox
Chassis dremelled to take modern lipos
Etronix brushless system fitted

Can't wait to try it!

Brownie points for who can spot the most spelling mistakes on the shell!

It doesn't look too bad, certainly not at the price.

Does it say PIRELTI?

Looked on Ebay, found a SUBARN shell :) Also an AE86 shell, where Initial D has become STARED D. And HPI has become HQI Racing. Worst of all, they have actually used HPI font. Still, £13 and painted....

PS: You get it? See what they did? Initial, Stared? ;)

Can you get a "Frod Fucos" in Cloin Marce livery? Or maybe a "Yotoya Caleci" in Jahu Kannuken livery? Or maybe even a "Titsubishmi Uvaru" as raced by Motti Kamminen?

It is no more? :( I was hoping it would provide some semi-close competition to my TL01, which now has Tamiya Rally blocks, and I have some soft rear springs on order....

PS: By semi-close I mean like only 5 or 6 laps ahead :)

I bought it off an Oopler (dazza1) - he had quite a few for sale. There is also one on eBay at the moment ending tomorrow.

Wes/Guy - you'd be pleased to know that is now fixed and ready to go again. Hopefully I will make it down the main straight this time!

It's a 13t, any more and it will just shred the front tyres. I have a 9t that will fit nicely in a tl01 however:woot:

LOL, let's talk :) I'm still waiting for Tamiya springs to come all the way from the good'ol US of A (didn't find any cheap ones anywhere here!).
