How To;Make Mirrors look more realistic !




Some body manufacturers put silver coloured unrealistic stickers for side mirrors with their sticker sheets.This DIY is very easy to do in 1 or 2 minutes and it will definitely make your body to look more realistic.


Materials Needed:

1-Any brand chrome decal sheet(I'm using Parma Chrome Decal Sheet)

2-Modelling knife or scissors(Modelling knife should have a fine blade)

3-Side Mirrors which came with body or purchased separately.(I'm using Tamiya RX7 side mirrors in this tutorial)


How To:

Step 1:Cut a little piece of the chrome decal sheet enough to cover the inside piece of mirror.

Step2:Apply the chrome pieces then cut unnecessary sticker around the mirror part.

Step3:Assemble the mirrors,put on the body and bingo !

3Racing Solid Diff for my TT01 D Type E



This 3Racing solid axle aka spool diff or direct coupling is my first and i think it will be my only non-Tamiya part.(Except RcScrewz Screw kit and some electronics.)


This diff is very light and looks like a well quality product and seems to be very durable but there is one thing that I didn't like so far , which the ring gear flexes a lot.I am going to use this diff on my TT01 D Type E .The diff is for front but as I'm a RC Drifter I'm going to use it on rear.My current diff setups for my TT01 D Type E are :Front;Front One-way Diff or Stock Bevel Geared Diff which is lubricated with Tamiya Anti Wear Grease.(I choose the front diff according to track conditions)Rear;3Racing Solid Axle Set

Note;You need to purchase Universal Shafts if you think of buying this diff.

Videos will follow soon!!!
