    Tamiya Max Climber

    Hi guys
    just brought a Tamiya TLT-1 1/18scale Max Climber. I have yet to fix it up but will do it once I'm back in Singapore. I have stop this hobby for many years and now Im back! These trucks really caught my eyes. Just wonder if you guys can recommend any upgrades for my Climber? Sorry, it's been a very time I've stop on RC.
    Cheers

      Thanks

      Thanks Fuse
      I have brought a Xenon Racing Hades Modified Motor with 23T and a "Speed Attack U" speed controller. These were recommended by the owner of the shop which he told me it will better then most of the motor. It's not on the high range but it wil works well. I brought it in Hong Kong.
      Cheers

        High torque servoes.
        For some people it's important to show what they have, for others it's sufficient to know that they have it.

            Sure can! The decals' a handful though. Here's a tip. Soak decal in mild soapy water and then paste over body, use cloth to squeeze out excess water. Make sure decal is at the exact position, then use hair drier to warm up the decals before final massaging. This way, the decal will stick sui sui over the curvatures and depessions on the body.

            Cheers!

              Decal

              Sure, I have read it somewhere about applying glass cleaner on the body before placing the decal. I can't wait to go back and fix it up!
              How about painting? I still cant figure out how to make those see thru windscreen, any good tips to make it sui sui super choi?
              Cheers

                Tamiya very simple lah. Unless you have any special design of your own, it's a single paint job. Don't even need to mask the windows coz all are decals. However, if you want a tinted look, you can use Tamiya 'smoke' paint for the windscreen.

                    Masking means blocking off the area (in this case, the windscreens) you don't want to paint at that particular stage of painting. Most lexan bodies comes with pre-cut window masks which you can stick on the windscreens. You then spray the car and over the masks too. When the paint's dry, you peel off the masks, leaving unpainted windscreens underneath.

                    Hope it helps.

                      Thanks Mad Armour
                      BTW do you think Xenon Racing Hades Modified Motor with 23T and a "Speed Attack U" speed controller will be good for my Climber?

                        Hahahaha.....too good for me, I'm afraid! The TLT-1 is still a MT with high CG, so turn any faster, it'll sure topple! In your case, DON'T install the all-wheel-steering. Sure ticket to toppling when cornering with a 23T motor.

                        IMO, a high torque motor will be more useful than high speed one for TLT-1.

                        I'm using the stock can and it still topples if I'm not careful on cornering.

                        Cheers!

                            Your Max C already come with a stock motor. You can always switch back to stock once you're tired with racing the 23T.
