Fujimi 1/24 Ferrari 512BB

Last kit ... for 2014

1/43 kits

In the last couple of days in 2014, couple of 1/43 kits have arrived.

The pictures show the 250 GTO full details kit from Makeup Japan. On top of the yellow box, it is a 1/43 Tameo 312T2 inside the red box.

Time to open the side slots for air intake :)

And one side is done.

Trinity D3.5 5% certified 13.5T

Finally put it on my T4 to replace the Express 13.5 motor. No setup or ESC parameter change, best lap improved by 0.05s out of 11.9sec range and gain 2 sec in 5 mins count.

Most importantly, it runs 10c degree cooler !

More aggressive than my usual Ride B4

After a few rounds of putty, sanding and surface primer, the main bodyshell and engine / gear box are almost ready for next step.

There are a few areas on front body shell need to sand down and replace by PE parts. Will have to study the PE manual carefully before taking further action.

PE parts arrived, but they are small ... I know it is 1:24 and not even 1/43 so I should not complain ... Where are my glasses ?

Static model progress - Tamiya 1/20 M23 1976 Update #8 (Final)

The project finally came to an end, applied clear yellow on the inner face of the windshield, another round of polishing, and that marked the end :)

New collection items

Tamiya re release Fighting Buggy (strange name) and mini z mc12 body shell.

5mm lipo plug

My solution to mix of use of lipo with both 4mm and 5mm connector - use a 4mm female connector to solder with a 5mm male connector as a converter :) problem solved.

Modify Yokomo B Max4 v3

Convert to use shorty lipo for high traction surface.

Almost there, just a few more details to complete the build.

Tires warmer on FF03 pro

First time running on the on road surface of Singapore Urban Play Space with Sorex 40r, need to cook the tires at 80c for at least 5 mins before run, otherwise the car is hard to control at corners.

Once the tires warm up, traction is not bad.
