    Turned out really great. Nice watching your young kid enjoy putting a kit together. My 10 year old daughter did her first about a 1/2 year ago. Did a AE B6.3D. Just watched and she did everything. Definitely know the proud dad feeling. Thanks for sharing. Take care

    Grate build! I was around 11 when my dad and me build my RC10T it was awesome and I will never forget that. With that truck I won 🏆 the parking lot summer series and won a RC10L started carpet oval and was hooked!
    RCLove!

    It looks amazing and there is nothing wrong with copying a fantastic looking style like that! I am sure Glenn is super happy to have his version copied! I did hear that clicking in it and was concerned so I am glad you guys got that figured out and it was an easy fix! Great build Caleb and I won't lie, I'm a little envious of that beauty, LOL, but I am happy you have it , got to build it and I really hope to see more running footage of it running. Dad needs to get that track built!

    Lovely Build Keith a proud Dad moment, I remember one of Jason’s friends had this kit at one stage and I looked at it in person, and ended up buying a nib icarus and picked up a predator for the owner of L&L models in the UK.
    Was going to buy the terra Con but it was missing some parts (wheels & tyres), and had a used motor in the blister pack. Great to see it built and out running 😊

    • @rcicons4915

    • @RCACTIONAUSTRALIA
      @RCACTIONAUSTRALIA 2 роки тому +1

      @@rcicons4915 yes it’s funny how that exact car came across me to the point where I was going through it. Then nearly 2 years later ends up being built on the other side of the world. I think when I saw it, it was with the previous owner prior to Jason. Nice kit but I ended up buying a complete nib for less than the person was asking for the one you built, so it just didn’t add up on my end, as at the time the Top Force Evo wasn’t even a thing to get genuine orange rims at a decent price.
      When I built mine I also modified it to run the Top frp plate instead of the plastic piece.

    Hey Keith, about the shock oil: for some reason, Tamiya ALWAYS specs #300 (300cst) oil for their CVA’s. I’ve noticed it’s fine for some cars like the TT-01/TT-02 and others but on heavier cars, you do need to go heavier.
    I run Losi oil exclusively as that’s mostly what my local retailers all stock. About 35-40 is right where those CVA’s like to be but it’s T H I C C ! I think the lowest I’ve seen on average locally was Losi 25. I did manage to find one place that had 10 but they specialize in RC drift and for that, you NEED super light oil.
    As for the build, hey it’s another young one getting into the hobby and that is ALWAYS awesome!
    *Keith, totally understand the privacy thing. I’m sure someone he knew would still find a way to bully the kid, even though he’s got mine and everyone else’s support. Tell him to keep at it. The more he builds, the more his creativity will show in his work.

  • @TheFlyHustla

    I bought both the GPM alloy steering and also the jazrider version. Like you mentioned the gpm had issues. But the Jazrider was perfect fit. I also found the reason why it wouldn't move after tightening the screws as the gold flange they screw onto are too short it seems some were the right length and others to short as I compared them as I had two sets. I contacted the seller I bought from and he said he will send replacement flanges.

    .... I'm pretty sure that Glenn was happy with the homage.
    I just got exciting news (for me)! Tamiya is going to Re-Re the M-05 VW original Golf (Rabbit)!!! 😁😁

    I once took 12 or 13 99% new Shelfie Buggies (1/10) on one evening to a tarmac parking lot and drove each 1 minute with the same battery. I have to say that the Egress wheels were by far the worst driving experience as the spikes bend on tarmac. They look epic on the egress rims. But they do not really work great. Maybe give Caleb another set of wheels and keep the Egress-wheels for the shelf ? But as an 11 year old kid, looks might be more important than performance, I guess ;_)

    The alloy gears and pinion destroy your nylon gears. Change the gear to a nylon version (TA02) and the pinion to steel. Tamiya have 17 and 19t in steel. I drive a 16t from carson with the standart main gear (TA02). I degrease the pinion and blued with gunblueing. On the front it is better to use Tamiya CVD´s. But not the old´s, thats rubbish. I drive original tamiya black TopForce rims from the Plasma edge.
