RC Bashers

Hey All; Well after a fair bit of ribbing I will be starting a new thread all about just my F-1's and a new ride will be posted every week. Tonight I will start with one we all have seen but witha few new Neked Shots the boyz have asked to see.I will also be retiring those old blurry crappy pics.So enjoy fellas.l8r,Wrench.

a thing of beuaty dude

Nice one as usal. Been trying to recall as a teen the one my buddy had and I think it was this or similiar cause it says released n 90 which when I saw it had to be around 88 89 I think.

Love to get one someday

Man W, that looks even nicer upon closer inspection! I would LOVE to take one of those out on some fresh asphalt and see just how good it really does handle...cuz it looks like it might have rails underneath it

Man do the rest look that sweet?


Ill just be over here waiting

Hey All; So next up is one of my scratch builds. I ordered a ton of misc. parts since these kits were discontinued byTamiya. Once I had enough parts to build a roller chassis I would scour the Ebay for a NIB body kit I could paint up.So here is my F-103SM with Tyrrell Yamaha Livery kit. Enjoy.l8r,w.

drools

please clean up after yourself.All I need to do is slip in a puddle of spittle.lol l8r,w.

*gets out mop* sorry. nice ride though.

Very nice Wrench, not nearly as elaborate as the first one, but pretty sweet. That second one is a much more simple design, does it work as well?

Hey All; Next up is my Tamiya F201 TCS racer. It has just about every TCS spec hop up option part availible and legal to run has been added to the chassis. It is a fun rig and I added a few body details not from tamiya. It has a few Chevron option parts like the Barge boards and the detailed driver figure with the drivers helmet as well.It has the extra lil wing addition and the TV camera T pillar above the air intake as well as the brake rotor kit. Enjoy.l8r,w.

Damn the driver detail is amazing

This Ferrari may be my favorite yet

cool driver looks scared though.

these are all awesome man. i bet these are all shelf queens arent they?

Heck you would be scared to. Those F-1 are a handfull and a half to run.lol and he is not in control,I am.lol Most of my F-1's are shelfers for investment reasons. And I love the F-1's.I tryed to scoop as many as I could afford when they discontinued them back in the 90's. But like anything Tamiya they went and Re Re'd them and watered down the market a bit.Still love to build them though. I have one or two I want to build this year sometime.1 old one I have finally got all the parts for and the F-104Pro the wife got mt for xMass 2 xmasses ago.I have 2 that are in runner form still from the last time I ran them back in the day.Will add another rig or 2 for your viewing pleasure this week sometime.l8r,w.

at some tracks the f-1's are starting to out pace the 1/12th scale. i guess when HPI came out with theres recently it made it a lot easier to get them.

i like your 201's. i heard they arent as quick as the 103/4's, but they are a designing masterpiece.

if you got too bored putting that next kit together, i'd love to peruse a build thread of it.

Here is another F-103 chassis i built from scatch. I found all the parts I needed on eBay one at a time and finished it off with a Ligier body kit. I was just trying to get as many as I could after they discontinued them all. I have a Tamiya RC catalouge and my goal is to have all the kits in the pages of the cat. Enjoy.l8r,w.

WOW Nice looking collection

i like that one man.

you have any of the vintage ones that tamiya was making, i was always a van of the 6 wheeler.

OK fellas next up is a Tamiya F-103LC Indy; It is set up in Motorola Honda Livery. This series has a Long Chassis setup compaired to the Grand Prix series. These were limited run and it is one of my Indy favs. It was built for display and has a few Option parts on it.Ejoy.l8r,w.

this one right here i think is my new fav. one. that thing is awesome!!

i have one question.

how do you display all these things?

Well if he is like me, lots and lots of shelves. lol Nice collection!

I got a few shelves, just a few. In an entire room. I call it "The Office". l8r,w.

Nice office!

Thank You; Here are a few up closer of the F1 Shelves. Found them for like $19.99 from HD or Lowes. Bought a few and then went back for a few more.They fit 2 F1's perfectly. Now they don't make the same ones.lol My luck.l8r,w.
