A few years after my first Tamiya kit I ordered from craft like the Lunch Box. Already for some time I have flirted with this model, I knew the Orginal kit from toys catalogs 80s from my childhood. The box was built within two afternoons - hurry I did not in this case. The structure was quite feasible and not complicated. However, you should advance in peace again working through the instructions before starting, to avoid confusion during construction. As a tool only a Phillips screwdriver and pliers are actually needed. Furthermore, if necessary. Still a file. A small Allen and a small wrench for the allen screws and nuts used are supplied with the kit, as well as a small tube of lubricant. The painting at the recommended Tamiya spray paint was also problematic. These are a white ABS plastic, which is painted in contrast to the widespread clear Lexanbodies externally. After the first test drive (in the large garden, on wet grass), partly with full speed and also smaller jumps I would (but not too tightly advised in my experience, to secure some screws with paste (eg. Loctite or similar) in order they possibly later. can solve well yet). In particular, would it be the whole range of steering and the screw that secures the metal motor pinion. These have come loose during the first ride with me through the vibrations and eventually prevents the onward journey. I would recommend directly incorporating ball bearings instead of plastic bearings contained in the kit (Carson 904 025, are all matching storage in suitable number, around 10 euros extra). These are very troublesome to retrofit and the ball bearings to extend the travel time. The ride, I find, given the high center of gravity quite good-natured and fun.
Additional accessories are absolutely necessary: - Remote Control - 1 Servo (for steering) - 1 receiver (usually at the remote control included) - 7.2V battery pack (the best 3000mAh, otherwise the travel time short arg) with matching charger
