MOST FUN RC BUILD IN A LONG TIME
In this video, I finally get the chance to finish my vintage Tamiya M-01 Chassis Rover Mini Cooper Monte Carlo. Unfortunately, bad planning on my part slowed down the build so we had to hit the road to find some PS paint. Like so many RC fans, heading off to the local RC store for a tin of paint results in me returning home with $100 in RC bits. This build did take a good few days to complete but it was a total joy and one of my favourite builds in a long time.

Wow, you've done a bloody fantastic job of that Mini, it looks incredible! I love the grill and spotlights, superb. And SC Models is a fantastic shop, I've known Shaun for many, many years, a really nice bloke and if he hasn't got something that you want he'll probably order it for you. And I live really close to the new shop, about a 10 minute walk away....

@paulblack3608 10 ай бұрын

Tamiya scale body kits are flat out the best. So many modern rc's just look like clown cars or awful non licensed fakes. Tamiya is unrivaled in this aspect for sure. You bash your own paint jobs often, but damn, it's hard to do well and yours are pretty darn fantastic brother. Your shelf of vintage RC10s in the background is epic. A local store that stocks ps paint is a godsend. In my city there's literally 1 place that sells it and most online stores won't ship spray paint or batteries anymore. Cheers.

@RCKickschannel 10 ай бұрын

Not that easy currently but a Mini body on the new MB-01 Tamiya chassis would make for a good rere and Tamiya has an ongoing licencing agreement with BMW, so it could well be possible for Tamiya to do another Mk1 Mini body kit release.

I had a tamiya eunos roadster sitting on the shelf since around 2010 and I just got around to building it😂 I had never built a tamiya lexan body and wow those stickers are intense. I do wonder if they hold up over time? Is it possible to clear the entire outside of the body with a gloss clear to help preserve them?

I bought two of the KYOSHO FAZER 69 CHEVROLET CAMARO Z28 VE , I was also tempted to buy the KYOSHO NISSAN SKYLINE 2000 GTR, but as that model version is the standard brushed motor and plastic centre drive shaft, i haven't been tempted enough to purchase that particular KYOSHO mode yet , or even the datsun 240 Z either for those two particular reasons of the plastic centre drive shaft and brushed motor only on those models, like the rest of kyosho fazer road car range 🤔 . I wonder did you really paint the mini , or did Rebecca really paint it 🤔 🤣
