399 - Wild One 99% Complete

Well, the revamping of my Wild One is 99% complete.

After the body paint some decals have been applied but I guess some other are needed to finish the work.

I've also installed the reinforcing brace for the front shock towers filling the gap with a pair of plastic spacers (unknown origin) rescued from my spare screws boxes and swapping the original screws with longer ones.

Counterwise to my plans I've been forced to keep the original servo saver because of there isn't room enough for the Hi-Torque (both long and short horns).

Concerning motor I've decided to go for my Dirt Tuned avoiding from every modify (opening it to fit bearings) or sacrifice (mixing it with the Super Stock BZ) in anticipation of the future shortage of Super Stock Tamiya motors (made in Japan) due to the poorly made new serie coming from the crap's factory.

398 - A Little Break

We need a little break from work and Venice living, so this week my wife and me are on holidays in our cottage on the alps. Some gardening and some renewing works are in our plans... for sure I will be involved in some mumbling about future RC works.

397 - BBX Renewed, Driver Start Your Engine!

Finally my BBX has the decent driver figure I've planned from the early beginning. Most of fails are due to the desperate attempt to avoid the use of paint brushes and to achieve this result I got all of my knowledge as modeller plus several sorceries as masking tape, masking fluid,  paint markers, spray cans... in short everything to compensate the loss of sight due to be a Gen X guy.
