It took me a while to learn and completed Yokomo BD11 and I ran the kit since 2024.
Understand more about modern TC, and in 2025, I have built BD12, X4 (original 2022 version) and TA08R.
What is next ?

Chassis setup done and body shell prepared
Cannot recall which bodyshell is it. It might be one of those from Ride in old days.
Found an Sanwa 971 servo - possibly bought 10+ years ago, not high torque at all in today standard. However, should be good enough for running blinky mode. At same time, also found the control 13.5 motor for TITC 2014 in my storage. It is Orca TI. Hence, decided to use it on TA08R project.
So far the build has been smooth, parts are considered small in my previous Tamiya RC kit experience but not that bad compared to previous Yokomo and Xray projects. I was told Awesomatix would be the ultimate challenge in term of part size ... I keep this in mind and will have to try one to believe.
Next is the ESC. I found an Orca VTC TC spec ESC, it has a large footprint hence leave a little place for the receiver. Flysky receiver just fits in nicely. Soldering job done on a Sunday morning.
I started this build on Monday, managed some hours to contribute to the project after office and by Sunday evening, it is mostly done.
Next is the bodyshell preparation and paint work, chassis setup and then test run !
