So after being told im not allowed to spend money on real cars anymore I decided I would give RC cars a go, I bought a Tamiya TT-01 on ebay, it came fitted with a 3Racing graphite chassis, a 9T brushless motor and a few other hop ups. My current car is a Honda S2000 so naturally that was the first shell I bought. That shell unfortunately came to an untimely demise thanks to a rock jumping out on me at very high speed, so it is now spending its life as a basher. It was now onto my next project, this shell is meant to be part of a kids toy and not designed for RC cars and after a lot of cutting/modifying and painting it now looks like this and still not yet complete
i then finally managed to install some lights and a few stickers, and currently waiting on some orange LED's to put in the top part of the windscreen
a Perspex chassis plate was made up and then i trial fitted the rear arches, they are made from a paint roller tray i am planning to paint the arches green to match and give them a good dose of stickers too. The plan is to put carbon fibre on the underside of the Perspex just as i did for the S2000 shell
And once this shell is complete my plan is to make a replica of Barricade from Transformers (police Mustang) complete with lights and decals
