439 - My Tamiya BBX Gets Its Brushless Motor

That moment has come: after stripping all the parts involved (or that could be involved) I've started the swap of the entire power plant in my Tamiya BBX. At first I've swapped My Reedy pink dot with the Ruddog RP540 13.5T Brushless Motor bought some weeks ago, of course it has been the easy part in this step in to modernity and, at least, it still keep its look and it doesen't looks unnecessarily cumbersome like modern car engine bay.

438 - Simplify, Then Add Lightness

 

"Simplify, Then Add Lightness" : a simple phrase (but not a simple though), the Colin Chapman motto the to me has became a kind of mantra so I've decided to ask to my friends at Tag Your T-Shirt to embroider it on a trucker cap (in racing british green, of course) I will use for my outdoor works at our home on the alps.

437 - A Song For Billy Ray: Custom Decals


Finally the awaited custom decals for the Blitzer for the young Billy Ray have been arrived. The inspiration comes from the legendary Troy Lee graphics, unfortunately result isn't perfect because I've tried to hide some body imperfections giving to the decals a white background... I hope that Billy will be focused on the flames and to the performace and will forgive his old uncle 😎
