Tamiya TT-01 makes a come back.

In the middle of waiting on HPI Racing to come out with the clear 2010 Camaro body, I figured I'd get back into the swing of things (as far as body painting goes) and do up a nice original corvette body. I chose the GM Performance racing theme. Decals courtesy of GM Canada. I also had some nice Parma racing decals around. This is my first attempt at a racing checker flag design. I don't think I did to bad for masking off each checker. (lol) The chassis is my Tamiya TT-01. I've done some chassis and suspension upgrades, along with a metal center drive shaft upgrade. Making this my TT-01 Race Spec. Shown here and on the website with the new Dynamite Racing slicks and radial rubber, I did however build the car to spec for carpet racing. Foam tires (not shown) will be used for this years carpet season. I'm running a 75mhz Futaba radio and receiver for now. I will be upgrading to 2.4 shortly. The motor is a Stock Epic armature with modified brushes and springs. Powering it will be my Novak Duster II ESC. I know, a little old but still works great and doesn't have reverse. We all now reverse is illegal in racing, and well... My finger has slipped a time or two before the track marshal has been able to grab me. :)

HPI Racing - 2010 Camaro

We have been waiting A LONG TIME for this one. Fresh from HPI Racing Japan, the new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro body kit. No part number or price yet, but the estimated cost by our HPI Racing insider will be around the $30-$35US mark. Our local hobby store has put them on order, and R/C Modz Full Throttle will be doing a upcoming 2010 Camaro Project. You can have the body today, but only in the HPI Sprint 2 DRIFT RTR edition. We want the shell HPI.

Behind the R/C Modz Full Throttle scene I myself enjoy my career as a General Motor Technician. It's no wonder my eye's bugged out my head when I had seen this. Working under the Chevy brand myself, this one has to become one of my collection.
I know what some of you might be thinking.... "oh here we go, your gonna paint it yellow and put black strips on it."
-Nope.

This project will get the "special" attention like it's full size real life version. (I dropped and hint there) ;)




Stay tuned!

Project Twin Traxxas Tundra - Custom

It's a beautiful start to October, and nothing better than finishing up a fun little project before the winter. Project Twin Tundra, based of the popular Traxxas Stampede is another addition to the R/C Modz Garage. This Twin motor, Duel battery and 14.4 volt driven truck was a blast to drive around. Check it out.

This Fall-Winter Project is the All NEW "Traxxas Twin Tundra" Based on a secret chassis concept, it's been researched and what we found on previous versions has only been made better, more accurately engineered and is going to be an awsome truck to drive. More details are not being released yet. But what we can tell you is that in recent days the decision has been made not only to follow through with a duel motor setup, but duel battery as well. That's all we can get out right now, but as the weeks roll by, and winter fast approaches, there will be more details on this highly anticipated, fan requested Traxxas Project for fall 2010.

Getting down to work for the end of fall 2010.

The air is getting crisper and the leaves are changing. So I packed the car with the wife, our 3 dogs and went to the lake for the end of the season. Brought along a few toys, one of which was our R/C Modz Full Throttle Hauler Trailer Project. This thing is real fun to drive, and works great for hauling wood for a nice fire on these cold nights. Figured that's one reason I built the trailer, the other was to haul around my 1/10th scale touring cars. My wife's Tamiya FF-02 Beetle and my 68' Chevy Camaro fits great.

The day was great as I set out to gather as much wood around our campsite and area around it as I could. The result was decent, and it only took two battery packs for the job at hand.

Check out this, and many other of my custom projects. You may have seen this project showcased as well at Tamiyacrawlers.com My fellow friends have in fact suggested some nice fenders for the trailer. That sounds like a good winter project along with re-doing the paint job itself on the TLT.

check out this showcase in our Modz Garage HERE
Hope you enjoy.

We are back at it again, It's the TLT-1 X-Trail Hauler Trailer.
We had the contest last summer, now it's been added to the Modz Garage.
Check it out!

Chris here, summer is officially started, so get the R/C's ready for a summer of fun.
Over here at R/C Modz Full Throttle, we are having a nice relaxing start. Stay tuned for more custom project showcases and tips to help you on the next custom build you might have on your mind. Don't forget, I never turn down fan mail with build pics and info on your ride. If you want to get to know R/C Modz better, check out the
"Radio Control Car Club" on Facebook. You can also share shots of your ride there.

Cheers!
