Volks VSMS - Daccas

Fresh from Japan !

TG-10 Mk2 FZ

Never try a Tamiya GP kit. This is again another 2nd hand purchase, it was built, but never run. 

Yokomo YRX-12

Finding it for a while but not much available in the market.

Finally got this as a 2nd hand item, the kit was built and ran, and still in decent condition.

Will rebuild it in original spec and hope to test run in 2025.

Kyosho re release Plazma MK3

Eying on one for a very long time

Volks IMS 1/100 K.O.G. #12

Completed waist armour with Modo MX-06

Old car, still NIB - Mugen MTC1

Bought this when it was released I think in 2017. Never touch it or even open box since then.

Maybe a good candidate for 13.7 blinky ? 

Yokomo MS 1.0

No more BD series, now it is MS - stands for Master Speed

Since I am running BD11 and building BD12, why not MS 1.0 too ?

Yokomo BD12 build in progress #2

Spent another 1.5 hours on the B12, prepared and installed the 4 lower a-arms

So far the chassis is quite similar to BD11, except that the shape of the center motor mount and the fact that it can only accept small spur. One can say is is low profile design but somewhat troublesome when changing spur and also limited the spur / pinion combination. 

Novarossi NSR12S5 engine

Found this engine from my storage, sure it has been sleeping for over 10 years.

By looking at its piston, think I did a clean up last time. Rebuilt the clutch for FW05RR with a new no.6 glow plug on it. 

 

Infinity IF-15-II Wide

New from Infinity, wide edition of its 1/10 nitro kit with 235mm track width

Unlike the previous IF-15 Wide which comes with standard front one-way, this IF-15-II Wide is equipped with front and rear gear diff out of the box. 

Plan to run a standard OS 1204 motor on it

Yokomo BD12 build in progress #1

After running BD11 for couple of months, I can understand the modern RC car setup more. 

It is time to build its successor

This time, I plan to run it with modified motor - target for a 6.5T

Front bulkhead is quite similar to BD11, upper deck is split into two half this time and the upper mount for rear shocks are different than that of BD11 too.

Bandai 1/72 A-Wing, Engine gowing

Completed this build some time back, and it is always nice to have its engine turn on and warming up

KittyHawk 1/48 F-35A #5

Started to look like a F-35A

Xray 1/8 RX8 23'

I ran the RX8 2016 for years, and it is time to refresh with a newer generation, RX8 23'

CRC 1/12 XTi

Found it out from storage, been with me for quite some years without attention ...

I have the Ego conversion kit too. This chassis does not look outdated even after years

Xray X4 2025'

The 3rd X4 I got so far, and I have built none yet ...

This round it also comes with 3D printed bumper

Xray 1/12 X12 2025'

A change of design, it looks like a Schumacher in Xray box and material

It comes with 3D printed bumper, metal bottom chassis plate and whole bunch of graphite parts

 

KittyHawk 1/48 F-35A #4

Mounting the right wing

There is a large gap between the upper fuselage and the wing.

I have to do a bit of sanding and adjustment to fit it, yet there is a gap at the front edge which requires filler.

Just test fit the left wing, it is going to be the same exercise waiting for me.

Italeri 1/12 Lancia Delta HF

Nice looking Delta HF !

Optima re release outing

Been a long while since the last run, and the secret place I ran this kit last time was no longer exist. Replaced the damaged 35T pinion and found a quiet road from business park and ran 2 packs with this lovely on-road buggy.

Xmas is coming

Xray RX8 23' and X4 25'

KittyHawk 1/48 F-35A #3

Applied Mr Color C306 on the edge of air intake, and MX02 on inner engine wall.

Installed air intake and engine, combined the fuselage.

KittyHawk 1/48 F-35A #2

Added a bit of details with Tamiya enamel paints and wash with Mr Weathering (grey) on the gear wells,  weapons compartment and cockpit.

Installed these components inside the top and bottom fuselage. Fitting is good.

KittyHawk 1/48 F-35A #1

Looking for a simple build, this is a free gift, well kind of, as it was bought during some buy-one-get-one-free promotion. I got a 1/32 kit and here is the free gift.

Not a big box and seems to be a easy build.

Built gear wells and weapon wells, a little bit of filing and fitting, nothing major. Cockpit is simple too. There are many injection pins and it is not just a "mark" it is in pillar shape ! just cut them away and sand them flat.

Spray white on air intake and gear / weapon wells, german grey on instrument panel cover.

Fitting into the bottom fuselage seems alright.

X-rider 1/8 Cafe Racer is ready and tested

Few years has passed since I wanted to run this 2-wheeler

Bodyshell has been sprayed for a while and finally everything (except the rider himself, obviously) being put together. 

Tested run it today in some quiet (not 100% tho, but close enough) road nearby my place. When the physical gyro kicked in, the bike is quite stable but due to the two side rods length, they always interfere with the ground when cornering. After some mins, the long drive belt broke too. Maybe due to the small rocks on the surface.

I have never driven a RC bike with only 2 wheels before, it is harder than I think. 

Will need to learn and train more, while shopping for the replacement belt.  

Serpent F-190

1/8 EP F1 and it's 4WD

Xpress XQ11 Hara Edition

 

Yokomo YZ-834b re release

It is finally here - been waiting for 40 years !

RG Z'Gok #2

There is no paint on the inner frame this time, and I want to paint it as submarine style - BLACK !

Applied Modo MX-02 on chest and legs components
