He said the diff is going but I've built heaps of diffs now because you taught us how to build diffs. For the price can't complain. There's rcs everywhere and Tamiya virus is addictive. We are going to need a second garage just for the rcs .

Thanks mate. I think I may have gone one coat too much on the window. I think it looks classy too, wouldn't look right without it. I didn't have any at the time, but I'm thinking lump of Blu-Tack on the lid to hold the body would be a better option than the double sided tape. 👍

Turned out perfect, mate! My favourite part is always when you peel off the protective film, or the "reveal" as I call it! Never looks as good as that again - well, after the first run, anyway! Beautiful model, the Ghia, it's gonna be awesome when it's finished. All the best, mate! :-)

Thanks mate. I agree, it can be hard to see. Maybe try holding the body up to the light or against a white background, maybe even paint white on the outside of the windows first (on the protective film of course lol). I was having trouble seeing it here too and my light was too bright, was making me blind. 😂

Itll be interesting to see how much of the body mount posts are left on it. Ive had TT's in the past and using magnetic posts in the past have meant ive had to be really brutal in cutting them down. Nice paintwork, thanks for sharing.

I don't think there will be much left of the posts at all. The posts on my Lowride Pumpkin are very short too. I'm wondering if I may have to even cut some off the bottoms of the magnetic posts. We'll see I guess. Thanks mate! 🙂👍

I have had problems with applying the smoke paint. Why? It is usually much darker than I wanted. Remember that the body will sit on the chassis which does not have much light. That means it will look darker than you might think.

@RCHobbyShed

Thanks mate. It sure is rear wheel drive. I have the Lowride Pumpkin which is also an M06, great fun to drive but really needs oil shocks. I'll upgrade them both at a later date to oil shocks and maybe some other goodies. Shame the RX7 is discontinued, but there are a few manufactures making RX7 bodies. So I'm thinking some RC RX's will be on will be on my shopping list in the near future! 👍

Question for you? Im at the esc install part and noticed the kit came with a brushed motor with 2 connectors, 1 yellow, 1 green, the kit came with Tamiya brushless esc with yellow, blue and orange motor connectors, how do connect the motor, do i only connect 2 on each side and keep one unplugged? The directions seem spotty or maybe its just me, any help would be great. TIA

The orange wire is for brushless motors, so leave that one unplugged. Plug the yellow wires together. Plug the green wire and blue wire together. 👍
