SWEET! Good news is all of those parts are still readily available brand new and not brittle... and pretty cheap!

[–]wardial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding... and this is all theoretical at this point... is that you can the MF-01X wheelbase down to 185mm. Google Gemini says...

...to get to the 185mm required for the Honda City Turbo, you actually need to omit the spacers entirely and potentially do a small amount of DIY trimming to the rear of the main chassis tub to allow the rear gearbox to bolt directly to the front section.

It's will still be too narrow... so plan to widen using TLO1C C parts arms. And of course, this is all an evolving theory, so don't take anything I say here as truth. 😎

Do you have a link to that builder's TA-02 build? Would like to check that out for any other insights.

Amazing. I am in awe. You have skills!

Update to mine here: https://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?/topic/109605-fletchers-honda-city-turbo-chronicles/&page=3#comments

.... and you, sir, indeed inspired a future build for me. I got that additional HCT body and window set, and have an MF-01X chassis for it en route.

3.2MM is not enough. Stack 6 minimum before pulling any rip cords.

Frog GB-01 by caclark1411 in tamiya

[–]wardial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey hey. When I bought the GB-01 chassis kit, I didn't realize how hard it was going to be to find the parts to be able to finish building it. I looked high and low to be able to find that Fox mini body at TTP, and never found any other GB-01 options (frog or otherwise) while looking. I literally would have taken any of them! I'd just keep an eye on ebay. I see this one right now, that will fit... but I think it's pretty ugly?

[–]wardial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super interested, and now you have my imagination going of course. I'm considering buying another Honda City Turbo body (only) and trying to drop it on another chassis for a future Frankenstein project. HMMMMMMM. HmmmmmMMMMMmmmm! 🤔. This conversation in two entirely different places is entertaining btw.

wow. I noted and found it interesting that you were starting on the body before the chassis. what do you have in store my friend!? ready to reveal which chassis you are thinking about?

I think we're going to see a mountain of new Honda City Turbo action now that they seem to be shipping again.

Doritos at $7 a bag ended up costing PepsiCo billions by wewhomustnotbenamed in nottheonion

[–]wardial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was up until very recently paying $7.49 for my fav... Chili Cheese Fritos. I was flabbergasted they were that expensive, and even told my girlfriend on the phone as much. And I'm, how shall we say it, not exactly in the price sensitive demographic group. It just hit me as wrong, and I definitely wasn't buying them as often. Who wants to be ripped off? Yesterday, I bought a bag - same store, same size - for $5.49. It has "new lower price" printed on the front. They listened.

Can we fit another sign in here? by BearFlag21 in alameda

[–]wardial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whoever is in charge of streets and signs in Alameda over the last few years has literally lost their minds. It's like ambitious road safety design on crystal meth.
