I seem to remember a statement from you at Geiteryggen Jens - it was something like:
"I'll have to always bring my B4. When everything else fails, the B4 works. It's safe. Damn Stig - you look good as always!" (Ok, that last part might have been slightly untrue and part of my imagination.) Forgotten words? |

Thx guys! I get the picture! I'll bury my recent Schuey admiration then and try to patiently wait for the new Losi(s)...
I have a feeling both you Martin and Flode, being religious Losi fanatics, know more than you are willing to tell... You guys KNOW whether there is a 4WD coming or not! Guys in the US claim it's not coming... whilst UK drivers think it is, as it looks like the 22 does have parts design catering for 4 wheel drive as well... Read one post yesterday which was excellent: "We know Jukka Steenari is designing for TLR. The worlds are in Finland this year. He has previously won the world title on that same track..." Spill the beans please! Btw I was expecting X-Factory to release the perfect 4WD in 2011, but I always "feared" they would suffer from being a one man show. And now Chazz has been very ill... A good tip guys: Never sell your cars again. It's soooo nice to gradually build up a collection! And as you become an old dog like myself, you will really be glad you kept them! Oppdaget en fantastisk Tamiya side her for et par dagen siden, sjekk den ut!!! http://www.blackholesun.fr/index.php -her er alle Tamias RC modeller kategorisert og analysert, veldig interessant lesning! Til og med alle "førerne" gjennom historien! Woops!... slipped into Norwegian all of a sudden...

Indeed! I've been eyeballing the front suspension on the 22. Are those caster blocks I see? It looks like there are driveshafts missing on it actually. Could be a pretty serious hint that suspensionparts will be 22/4wd crossovers.

Seems like 2 and 4WDs these days may very well share most suspension parts. Historically there were big differences, but I've seen more and more mods now where they share the geometry - and it works! Probably much due to the high grip on tracks now!

SHY, All you need is 3 sons, and your collection of cars explode by itself...
Currently I have 2 Traxxas Rustlers, 4 B4s and my X6... Dont tell my wife, though |

Yeah, I've read about TC (Tamiya Club) collectors having to pay 1/2 of their RC collection's worth when getting divorced... That's gotta hurt!!!

Shy, I don't know anything at all.
About the collecting, I've always sold my cars. Never collected. So I started counting my cars today... I have an original, never used Tamiya Renault Alpine, a Yokomo B-Max Factory kit in a drawer somewhere, a Tamiya M-05 with the Fiat Abarth(Never driven), a Tamiya Hotshot(first edition) in very good shape with aluminum wheels, and my Losi XXX-CR and XXX-4 that I will NEVER sell. Unless I do. Because I'm broke or thirsty. And here's a picture of the Hotshot. Should be worth a buck or two?

Great stuff! Have you seen my Hotshot B.A.R. Honda Evo II (runner)?
http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_m...6011&sid=22039 Steering mod to fix that horrible bump-steer: http://www.ymr.no/10orTip8.htm NIB are always 2x worth a new built, but it should have good value! Nice wheels! (got several alu wheel kits too) Btw. I'm working only 200m from you now, in Bjørvika. Send me a PM one day when you have the coffee ready!...

Looks great, Jens Kristian, and I must admit I placed a pre-order for the b4-kit...
Was the build-quality as expected? And about that shell.... |
#57
|
||||
|
||||
Partsfinish is top notch! Even better than expected...
Regarding the shell...it wouldt have looked a lot better with a propper paintjob

is that battery brace your own design i order to mount the esc there?
|
#59
|
||||
|
||||
Yep, made it myself....just a prototype thing i did, will not be the final one.
And yes...this is made to fit ESC on top of battery. There is plenty of room to fit the ESC down on the chassie, but I was recomended by Craig Collinson to do it like this on my RB5 MCS, and it worked great there, so I`m hoping it will work just as good on this car

At least a very clean install, and short power leads
