Tamiya TA03R-S Chassis GT2 Porsche 911 993 Body Swap Part 2 (IT'S ALIVE!)

[@rivierarc]

I am blaming you!! Loved the look of this when I originally watched the videos. Just revisiting this video series and finally bought the full GT2 kit. Some good tips I will be using during the body build.

[@barrycheesemore2928]

Wow, that metallic red looks sexy as hell on that Porsche!! Great video, and a very handy tip for 'problem areas', nice one!

[@mitsuman5555]

Glad to see you back to work in the studio again 🙂

[@RCKickschannel]

Thanks. Loads to be getting on with for sure. :) Back at it again today!

[@eekrc]

Love how you tell us what you did wrong so we don't do that...haha. Love the color, I don't have any Red Tamiya cars yet either! Adding it to the list now!

[@RCKickschannel]

I show everything, I have no issues showing my mistakes. Hell the 934 Rothmans was born from a mistake I made lol and it's my favourite body.

[@irritablearchitect]

Standard emery boards for filing fingernails, in various grits is what I use for sanding down Lexan or other plastics. Works a treat.

[@d.dolphinstriker5737]

Very nice color of the Porsche. I like to do this conversion also on my Ta03rs.

[@AmbientRC]

That is legit Bro. Looking forward to seeing it with the spoiler painted.

[@RCKickschannel]

Loads more to come. I have some good stuff coming for it. As soon as everything arrives I will make another update video

[@paulus842000]

Good to see you back, brilliant video 👍😊

[@RCKickschannel]

Thank you! 😀

[@brianargo1659]

That new body would look good with the British racing green.

[@RCKickschannel]

I could think of a load of ways to paint up this body. I almost went Rothmans as I love that so much.

[@jbsghosthuntingandotherhobbies]

Wow sweet Porsche man 🏎🏎🏎🏎👻👻👻👻

[@cjprior88]

Love it love the red

[@theoagrc]

Great tips on fixing trouble areas on the paint Gavin. Thanks for that advice pal 🙌🏻👍🏻

[@RCKickschannel]

I'm no pro painter but I'm always on the lookout for little tips that make life easier.

[@theoagrc]

@@RCKickschannel you are far better than me bud! Although mine are run in the t back yard track all summer so they look nothing like that build day finish ever again 😂 Still like to try and get them right at the start though

[@michaelthomas8981]

Jaigermister for sure. Loving the Porsche vibe going on at the moment!

[@OliversAviationvideo]

You need more Jagermeister cars. Although the Valiant green is nice to

[@n22pdf]

Wow looks great Gavin very nice 👍

[@RCKickschannel]

Thanks Pete 👍

[@lukegrd7247]

So need a collection of porsches looks epic gav !!

[@RCKickschannel]

Thanks Luke. Yep I'm getting into the Porches as the bodies are so lovely.

[@mattmclafferty6265]

Thats a great red.... Cheers

[@RCKickschannel]

I was happy with it and it does have a road car feel about it. I just need to add a load more detail now to really make it pop.

[@CocoBrother2707]

👍🏻nice Job…

[@richardlingham9400]

Can’t remember where I heard it I think to was about hot rods back in the day but bright yellow under red enhances the colour, might be worth a go compared to a white layer?

[@RCKickschannel]

That's a good idea! I will try yellow on the next red car.

[@courtthree]

Mate there is a 911 on your shelf with Rothmans decals (shown at 0:39). How do I get my hands on one of those?

[@mikeymike3240]

Hi Gav, really nice met red colour, should pop in the sunshine ☀️, i have to get myself a set of those mst wheels for my MK2 Ford Escort body for the proper off set. Niiiiiiiiiiice video.

[@RCKickschannel]

MST rims are lovely.

[@rossalister59]

Great episode 👍 you inspired me on the gt2 build i Manged to get hold of a brand new Gt2 kit 😎

[@RCKickschannel]

That is awesome Ross! GT2 kits are getting harder to find these days as well as $$$$ Have fun!

[@paulhodgson350]

Looking good so far 👍

[@RCKickschannel]

Thanks 👍

[@jaydobson1272]

I brought hpi rims from Neverland's to get the fat rims and tires for my gt4

[@RCKickschannel]

I’ll go take a look 👍🏻

[@jaydobson1272]

@@RCKickschannel hey also I just remember that my trams am has super grip wide Tamiya rims and tires same as hpi but harder to get but I got all from the same place Netherlands rc I think it's called. I'll send you the pics on messenger

[@markmerrin1606]

Looking mint mate....are you going to under coat the wing white so the red pops and matches the body..?👍🇬🇧😎

[@RCKickschannel]

Yep I have some red primer. I will clear the Tamiya PS paint to make it shine.

[@adampsrcs3487]

Cool..where can you get those mini body clips they look great

[@RCKickschannel]

Came with it Adam.

[@raymondchan9802]

Amazing Porsche...i love it! Is it a new kit from Tamiya?

[@RCKickschannel]

It's the current Porsche GT1 Street kit chassis and an older GT2 Porsche body.

[@michaelqendro9825]

Gav, in German the J has a Y sound, so it's pronounced Yagermeister. Same with the Junkers airplanes, it's pronounced Yunkers. BTW the body looks great.

[@RCKickschannel]

Thanks, Yagermeister got it!

[@durbar546]

space the wheels out with 1mm washers and use flat 4mm nuts thats what i do comes out great and very adjustable

[@RCKickschannel]

I will give that a go

[@rcicons4915]

Those mst wheels are impossible to find. After 4 days and countless websites I found 1 set for my 45 year Porsche. Not sure why mst isn’t keeping up. Wasn’t just those. Seemed like most of their wheels are not available.

[@RCKickschannel]

Fingers crossed MST isn't having business issues.

[@leewill77rc]

Wow, your Porsche collection is looking great and this street going version is very nice.. got to get one for myself at some point. Then which version do I do🤔🤣

[@RCKickschannel]

Some lovely Porsche options available for sure Lee. I just placed an order today for a load of extra detail parts for the body.

[@MrGazhay]

If you are familiar with the YT channel 'Harry's Garage', he had one of these in red. H 550 was his registration.

[@RCKickschannel]

Yep I watch all Harry's stuff, even the farm channel.

[@marktreadwell3703]

Gav, strange question I know but what brackets do you use to hang cars directly onto the wall? E.g the 934 behind you in this video? Thanks

[@RCKickschannel]

It’s a sticker hook and then some cotton thread passed in a loop around the front body post mounts.

[@bretrishelrc9789]

I like the spongebob , 2 hours later :) on all ur vids

[@RCKickschannel]

I think it gives a true interpretation of the hours between takes lol

[@markhume3503]

Lovely paint work. You talked about offset wheels, how do they work.

[@RCKickschannel]

You can slide the inside centre of the rim up and down the barrel of the wheel

[@taimaishu-nao1922]

Yeah, for some reason the MST stuff has been a little hard to get. I bought my last set through AsiaTees. Came quick too. RCMart has them in stock too. My first pair I got from Amain Hobbies in the US (because I’m from the US) and even they had some stock issues. In fact the CS-R “no dot” drift tires have been discontinued by MST, superseded by the “purple dot” tires. Yet… MST still promotes the “no dot” on their website if you look at drift tires compounds.

[@RCKickschannel]

I hope MST isn't having business issues as I love the rims from them. Having adjustable offset really makes life easy as well as lets you set them up perfect for the body

[@dezgunner5940]

With respect, I use a scalpel to score round the cut lines, the you'll find the lexan will snap / peal perfectly with no need to sand. Try it out on a scrap bit of lexan to practice.. great video's btw

[@RCKickschannel]

Someone hasn't watched all my videos! Get to the back of the class and finish your viewing homework! ;)

[@rexrcs]

Jagermeister!

[@RCKickschannel]

I agree!

[@richardwright7648]

Hi Gav, loving your Porsche collection, I’m actually a bit jealous 😂 Im a huge 911 fan but I was a bit late to the party with the Porsche kits as I’ve only just got back into the hobby recently and missed out on the limited edition 934 kits. I have managed to recently get my hands on a NIB Porsche GT2 kit no 84399 which I’m super excited about! I want to do it in the same box art as the 30th anniversary edition kit 49400 as I love that colour and look. I’m really struggling to get hole of the decal set for it though, are those the decals you’re thinking about selling? If so I would definitely be interested in buying them. Please let me know if I can take them off your hands 🙏🏻😁 Ps, check out Dimention rc on eBay for number plates, they’re awesome.

[@jadc]

It doesn't matter at all, but since it clearly annoys you it's pronounced Yay - Ger - My - Ster. :)

[@yellomello71]

If you pronounce "Porsch", "Tschaigermeister" will be o.k.😉 Just kidding! Pronounce it however you like. Everybody will understand.
