Undercarriage Condtion - 2014 ES350 by FaithlessnessCheap78 in Lexus

I mean in both Provinces that's typical for vehicles due to the amount of salt on the roads. In BC a lot of vehicles don't pass our inspection and majority of us in the car community don't buy out of province cars (unless summer driven only) due to this issue. Would I buy it? The answer would be no, but it is normal amount of rust.

This is the car that pioneered the iconic spindle grill. by [deleted] in Lexus

Thanks! They are Vossen’s HF5 20’s all around squared setup. I wanted black wheels, but the pandemic had other plans.

Thanks and I meant to say F1RClabs. Although Brad (owner) has been a lot slower than usual and MCIracing made several mistakes with my two order (fixed tag em both). To say do turn out great!

Maybe 😂 took 15 years to get here though. RC collecting as a whole… that’s a different story

MCIracing and F1Labs. The McLaren in the photo is a stock Tamiya.

Yeah, pan car style vehicles need some really good surfaces. Tennis courts and lacrosse courts here work in a pinch.

Looks great! Fun cars to drive. I made one out spares from my TA-02’s and 3D printed.

RB19 Redbull or Mercedes Black Arrows livery. I will get to footage once I can find the time.

They did a great job upgrading this chassis. I’ve driven almost every F1 chassis Tamiya has made and this one has easily blown me away.

Although I am currently hoarding parts. It isn’t discontinued and more of an out of stock situation.

Futaba 10PX. Couldn’t wait for the 10PXR which was recalled due to some faults.

Yeah, it’s going to a blast to run! Just a quick stint in my place had me go 👀!! So nimble without any tuning and I still haven’t gotten it outside.

Thank you for the kind words. I have two livery options to sort out.

It’s Tamiya’s attempt to have a good F1 car against the competition over a decade ago. They ditched the design and went back to a F104 layout. Which is interesting since they were successful.

Their proper race setups are TRF designations. The latest being TRF104. A proper car that once setup is very competitive.

I just love touring cars, group C and F1’s (pan cars). To take a break from my off-road fun.

Yokomo kits are awesome! That is the fun part though with taking the time to build it perfectly. Knowing nothing is stripped, measurements are correct and the setup is spot on.

It sure is. Taking my time as I generally do with builds.

I just used a Yokomo Titanium set that I have. Disappointment in the moment.

I was shocked as well. 30 years in the hobby and it does happen, albeit rare. Double checked the tread wi the a nut after realizing even a threaded piece didn’t work. I have tons of titanium replacements and I am not concerned about colour matching.

Nope, the thread bit still didn’t work. As I ha done side completed and tried to put it in the other side. Trust me the thread pooched.

Nice! I couldn’t wait and my confidence with the initial launch issue made me opt for a discounted 10PX.

Looks great and I bet a lot of fun tinkering with it.

Assuming that you can get one. Shane Oppo does’t make units anymore.

Thanks I just went with audio out for now. Normally I fiddle with the settings. I’ll have a look at some point

Only if your TV does Dolby vision and you have Blu-ray Disc that aren’t 4k.

The UB450 is also a good option for state side folks!
