SCX10



First post since a very long time. This is my SCX10 and I decided to use other rims on this one: The standard Axial rims that comes with the kit. Tomahawk tires, Camel Yellow with some flatblack details.

REELY Rex-X Nano





This is something that I really can recommend - the Rex-X Nano from REELY. I was a little sceptical at first since I wasn´t sure about the quality but You definitely can´t go wrong with this. It´s RTF and You charge it via USB - tons of fun for 40 Euro! It´s very durable, has an aluminumchassis and it really can take a LOT of abuse. The flyingcharacteristics are great, very stable and it handles very smooth - everything from hovering to "fast" flying and sharp turns works without any kind of problems. After about 50 flights, the chargetime is approx. 20 minutes and constant flytime is about 8 minutes - perfect for "killing time" now and then.

Specs:
Main Rotor Diameter: 175 mm
Tail Rotor Diameter: 32 mm

Weight: 36 g

SPEKTRUM DX3E


I entered the "Modern World" with this. A 2.4 GHz, 3 channel transmitter without all the gimmicks like display a s o (I can do without all that stuff) and for an occasional driver like myself, this is perfect: It has all You need and it comes with the SR300 reciever, all analog settings and that for a very good price.

TAMIYA M - chassis



I was very lucky one day: I found this unused M-chassis on a fleamarket and I got it so cheap that I almost feel ashamed about it. Never really been interested in these type of cars / chassis but this is really a nice construction and a cool addition to any collection.

KYOSHO Scorpion / Advance hybrid






Hm...for some reason the guy looks like Tom Selleck...

This is a project that also is on the "things to do - list". I wanted to try to come up with something different so I took a few parts from the Kyosho Advance (the rollcage) since that to me ist a quite nice looking cage. The chassis is a Scorpionchassis and I built a radiobox that had a little lower profile than the standardbox because if I would use that one it would be a little too much on height and the driver would not fit - and also, I liked the challenge. The shell is the Kyosho Beetle boxlid and I built a simple cockpit from plasticard and with some putty it turned out ok. I also converted the wheels (12 mm hex with wideners), lots of selfmade stuff a s o. I haven´t worked on this since a few years now and there are lots of things to do but I really want to finish it a s a p. Stay tuned!
