And out of left field comes this Tamiya Durga build with CD wheels??? Alright, what the heck is going on at the Poor Boys RC home base? What's this guy smoking???
In this vid we'll talk about some cool paint techniques, wrap some wheels with vinyl wrap, giving them that "it's 1989 and CD's are HOT" look, and we'll even install some choice hop-ups, like Tamiya Aeration Dampers!

Love this video Fil! To see you go through the whole process of thinking up the design and just going with the creative flow, working round the little mistakes and in the end just proving how cool it is just to dive in and make something different. Same goes for the wheel wrapping. The end result? Bloody awesome, dude! Man this is gonna be a fantastic buggy to drive, and to watch blasting around a track. More of this excellent stuff please! Cheers! 😎👌👊👍

Thanks for that great comment, Mark! It really is quite enjoyable to let the creative juices flow sometimes, whether the end result is good or gross, it's nice to get creative. 😀 I'm hesitant to get to the track, because I know it's gonna suck me back into racing, lol! Ah, decisions, decisions... 🤣🍻👊🏼

Fantastic job Fil, and an interesting one to follow along with! Like you, I usually go box art..... But, sometimes it's real fun to just go off on one freestyle, and let those creative juices flow! This one definitely worked mate, a lot of time and effort went into that paint job, but the end result was well worth it. Just loving the neon colours, very 'eighties'!!! And those wheels look very trippy indeed, just like the nineties.... but that's another story!! Interesting looking buggy that I've heard lots about, but aren't particularly familiar with..... One things for sure, I prefer the look of that to the standard box art for sure. Great job man! 👍 👍 👍

@poorboysrc 6 ай бұрын

Thanks James! It was definitely fun to colour outside of the lines on this one. My wife made a good suggestion after I was done editing my video. She said the wheels looked like CD's, and I should label them like old burnt CD's from back in the day. How'd I not think of that?!?! Lol! But yeah, it was a fun build, and I'm happy to hear you enjoy the final product. Hope you have a great week, my man! 👊🏼🍻

Great build Fil. I had the same issues with the mask. I couldn't see why it bleeded. It was presed tight everywhere the body. Maybe they're really designed for airbrushes or really thin layers. I like the wrapping idea. Have some here, but neber got the idea to put them on rims. Your's looking better than boxart, somehow fresher.

Hey! Yeah the creative choice is certainly shining here on this one. I really like the flashy wrapped wheels, as well as the dot stencil details choice. I am about to start a TT-02BR and I fear being up in eastern Canada ( the most easterly possible) that I won't be able to run it for some time outside, and, there are no indoor ( or outdoor ) RC tracks on the island.... Oh well! Rock on dude!

Awesome paint job, and it's very cool you show us how you did it. The wheels now remind of some 1960's psychedelic thing 🙃 Too bad Tamiya don't make buggies like this anymore.

The body looks great, but not liking it we all do that and decals do save the day. I do not buy the top end buggies as I only bash, plus they have a thing I do not like normally fitted ball-diffs. cool wrapping the wheels, would a compass cutter help as you could cut a disc the right size to just lip over the rim. Then you can cut a smaller hole for the middle, just a thought. Posh shocks 🙂

@poorboysrc 6 ай бұрын

I agree, ball-diffs are a major issue for me, too. I never seem to have good luck with them. And yeah, a nice cutter tool would make that wheel wrap job a lot quicker and cleaner, that's for sure. I was just experimenting with it. If I decide to continue wrapping parts, I might buy a nice cutter. 👊🏼
