![]() The rims are REALLY nice, When drifting, they really stand out. ATM I have on the front, the stock TT-01 tires. and on the rear, Kyosho soft racing slicks. (Brand new) Although they are getting some ABS tires soon for drifting. Quote:

![]() I got the long pins from a hobby shop in Malaysia. They are easily available and MUCH better than the normal pins.
BTW, I could have gotten a smaller spoiler which was plastic. But that really doesn't help much. The alloy adds a bit weight which helps a LOT. Thanks. Later, T.I.M

![]() ![]() Thanks. Yup. Wait till you see what's next.... ![]() ![]() Well, I didn't have time to update this thread but I finished the car for now. This car was done for the XMF open class comp. I had to meet the deadline so I worked all night to finish it. Rear diffuser was made form the original spoiler: I had to cut down the spoiler as it was too big: ![]() ![]() ![]() Glued on: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Looks half decent IMO. And this is something I had to literally stay up the whole night for. The team XI decal. I was originally going to get a full body vinyl made for the car. But for that I would have to travel 400KM. Lol. No time for that. So I improvised. I purchased a sticker sheet, cut it up to A4 size. And printed a mirror image for TEAM XI using Microsoft Word Art. I will upload pics of that tomorrow as I didn't have time to upload them today. The logo was painted on the left side skirt. I had to obviously remove the paint for that: ![]() I worked through the night finishing this car. And got to take pics at sunrise. ![]() The finished product with pics better than I ever hoped for ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The side skirt was painted black, and the logo was done in Fluorescent Green. Which means transparent green. So it's going to get LED's behind it in the near future ![]() Mod list: CPV 26mm Alloy rims CPV blue universal swingshafts for TT-01 CPV blue Alloy center shaft for TT-01 Topcad Alloy spoiler Custom body paint Custom hood Custom rear diffuser Custom TEAM XI logo Tamiya TLU-01 Light Kit Green Long hoodpins(No Brand) As far as I recall that's all. This Project is finished for now. All comments suggestions were very much appreciated. Later, T.I.M

![]() I though a video would get some attention.
![]() Got the ABS drift tires: ![]() ![]() ![]() The tires got ****ING stuck on the rime, they wouldn't go all the way ![]() ![]() ![]() So trying to get it off now. For the time being. I mounted another set on the Subby rims: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Might NOT shave the extra off. More surface area may be good. Video of the new tires in action soon. ![]() Comments/suggestions welcome. ![]() Later, T.I.M
