My Daughter's Subaru WRX STI NBR Challenge TT02 had a S#!t load of sticker's too. She did a good job with the body and putting the stickers on for her first time ever building & painting a kit. Good job John, looks great. Cant wait for the the dirt run.

@@JohnBattistini00 no problem! I hope your channel blows up. I watched the build series and it was presented well. You get straight to the point, vids aren’t too short or too long and you explain things succinctly. Just finished my xv01 so it’s cool to see Tamiya products still getting love.

I got the Audi one and noticed the body poles that help mount the body, don't match up with the pre selected holes on the shell
@JohnBattistini002 жыл бұрын
I think there's different ways ot attach the poles, look in the instructions and see if there's an alternative position for your body. Not sure, but there might be.

What’s the battery that you used and everything listed Here: * 2 channel transmitter (Tx) * 2 channel receiver (Rx) * 1 Steering servo * Transmitter batteries * Drive battery pack (7.2V) * Battery charger
@JohnBattistini002 жыл бұрын
Sorry I don't have all that info handy. It think its a FlySky RC transmitter (that charges via USB) and receiver, the battery is by Venom I think and I really don't rememberthe servo, but it should be broken out in one of the build videos. I tried to list everything in the description.

Hey do you paint the spoiler also with the normal ps16 from tamiya?
@JohnBattistini002 жыл бұрын
I used the same blue but not the PS16. It calls for TS16 which is their formulation for the non-lexan plastic. Once you put a few coats on there it really blends well with the "shine" off the lexan body.

@@stantheman9646 Sure, I just bought the Tamiya ones listed in the manual: PS-16 (Metallic Blue) for the lexan body. TS-16 (Metallic Blue) for the spoiler, TS-29 (Semi-Gloss Black) which I believe was just for the side mirror. Then I used metallic silver to back the blue on the body after i was done and then hit it all with white for good measure. I think that was the whole process.
