You should put that Porsche on a TB05R. They just discontinued it. They are a bit on the pricey side but an unbelievable chassis. I just built one and am putting the proline GT40 body on it. You would love that chassis.
Looking forward to seeing these built with your touches. I did the 911 GT1 Street recently (my first ever kit build) and enjoyed it. I did customize it a bit with emergency lights and other special decals. Hope you feel better soon.
I didn't get a chance to watch the live stream, unfortunately. I also recently did a 911 GT1. I finished mine in a candy red metallic with staggered offset aluminum wheels and treaded tires, along with a brushless motor and ESC and Yeah Racing shocks. I've also got a Tamiya torque splitter unit to put in the front yet to finish it out. It's already a lot of fun to drive, and I'm trying to replicate the driving characteristics of an original 911 GT1 with the torque splitter, making it rear wheel drive with 4 wheel brakes. We'll see if I can make it work.
Well done for battling through doing a live video , I know what you mean about painting with the rubbish uk weather , ive been spraying up a Tumbling Bull body for my daughters Tamiya tractor tonight. I quite fancy the two new TT02s coming out, will mostly likley go fit the TT02 BBR or what ever it’s called the buggy variant , see how it compares to the MS they released
Thanks Andy. The cold is not really a problem, it’s just a little inconvenience, it’s the fatigue I’m experiencing that has come with it. I’m just shattered but I’m sleeping fine. I’m sure it will pass soon 👍🏻
I think the Toyota Gazoo TS050 will be your Top 1 worst/ PITA of 2023😂 It sure was a PITA to me! Large stickers with lots of curves, and requires lining up stickers next to each other perfectly. Good luck! 😇
I have one of these Tamiya Porsche 911 GT1 cars. The price is good on these cars. However, getting after market parts for these cars is not easy. I did find that Tony's in the UK does have some parts for these cars. I do not live in the UK, I live in California. They have good service and fast shipping. Thoughts?
In New zealand those Gazoo Racing F103GTs are really common, and their cheap about $280NZD wich is around 150 pounds! I don't know why they are so much more expensive in the UK. We don't have any class you can race them in in NZ. and were REALLY low in stock of everything at the moment. I was accually thinking about picking one up because they seem like something a bit different, a bit funky. Cool.
I think the price is more in the UK currently, as it's out of stock and RC shops don't have any replacements yet. I would guess these will come back in again at some point and we will see better prices. That or it's been discontinued quietly, and we will never get them again so prices will keep going up.
Tamiya declared that the sucessor 56680 "is limited" (hahaha). If you take a look at the cataloques, you will see that there seems to be a different at the body. The frontlights are screwed to the body in the first version, in the picture of the second are no screws visible. But maybe they are only photoshoped away?!?
Just finished building an Absima AB3.4 buggy kit and installed a 3900kV brushless system in it,though I need a low profile servo if I wish to run it. Happy New Year Gavin and I hope you get better soon.
Wasn't the Lancia 037 on the TA02S chassis? I love the TA03 chassis' but I haven't had one in years, had one many years ago. I've got a Fat Fox truck, it was a bit tricky but not actually that bad in the end. The Formula E car is way worse from what I've seen....
All I will say is please don't do the Porsche in Rothmans colours! I'd love it to be something different, rather than going through the thought process of "it's a Porsche, it'll have a Rothmans livery..." You've got various different racing liveries that the GT1 actually raced in, or if you want to do a tribute livery why not do one of the other ones that Porsche raced in in the 1980s - the New Man black and yellow livery or the red and yellow Shell / Dunlop livery. I just think you could make a really good job of it, and it would be a bit different from everyone elses!
Here's a jeep thing, not gonna tell you who makes it or where I got it from but I am going to do something with it. A company cancelled their deliveries. Not going to tell you who though. Just know I have a red jeep. I do enjoy this channel but sometimes odd things do happen like this. I think there is an assumption that we all live in RC and we don't. To most of us it's a hobby and as such we have no idea what youre talking about with that red jeep. Just like when politics came to this channel. A model car channel seems the need to bring politics to the fore. I do enjoy your channel Gavin don't get me wrong but you do need to remind yourself we come here to learn from you. You need to give info on the product. Not just show us a red jeep, tell some story and then push it aside.
The red crawler will be getting its own video this week, that's why I didn't cover much on it and it wasn't what this video was about at all. I said in the video it was a sneak peek and twice I said that I would be doing a full video on it. It was just an impromptu filler as I started the live stream earlier than planned by mistake.

Complicated is an understatement!!!! It was really hard to build it for my TC-01
I'm working on a Kyosho but a 959 martini rothman Porsche sounds super fancy I just remembered hi Gavin
GT1 and F103GT ! 2 of my favourite!
Sorry Gav, just came across this, initially I didn't realise it was live 😁
Hope you get feeling better soon.
Missed it live. Think you will find that in the different kit number gazoo comes with 2 sticker sets 2019-2019.

I learned the hard way on the Porsche that the rums have different offsets, rear being wider.
Yep 100%. If you want to get a Porsche to look good, getting the wheel offset at the rear is really important.
I missed it again. I need a clock set to UK time.

You can watch livestreams back again 👍🏻

the problem with the 911 body is that there are not a lot of sticker options, Do an Iradecent PS46, just for Kicks
Hi Gavin Yo yo yo! Happy new year! Have I missed much?
Not much my friend :)
Hi Gavin. Still here 😂 planning to put impreza McRae body on mine
I had the le mans version of the porsche and l had to space the wheels out a lot so it looked good in the arches but was well worth it after
get well soon Gav! I'll get back to you during the week :)
I think the Toyota Gazoo TS050 will be your Top 1 worst/ PITA of 2023😂 It sure was a PITA to me! Large stickers with lots of curves, and requires lining up stickers next to each other perfectly. Good luck! 😇
I suspected as much lol 👍🏻

How about doing a custom build of the 1957 Chevrolet Belair.

Which chassis would you recommend to fit black edition Porsche. I have carbon ta02 but wondered if any other chassis would fit? 🤷🏻♂️
Just match up the chassis wheelbase to your original body WB and you can work around most other things to make it fit.
How about the Formula E I heard you liked that one. 😉🤣

@Bastelhans true, and this probably only matters to me, I can never remember many Marlboro liveried Porsches
