That's because they are not Philips, Tamiya use JIS hardware. Buy a $5 Tamiya screwdriver.

3mm screws use #74006
2mm screws use #74007

Or you can buy one of their little 8pc kits #74023

Re: Johnny's Grand Hauler
 

I have JIS screwdrivers, but I also have about 11 parts boxes full of hex head stainless screws which I used on this kit.

Kool info on the phillips style.
Q - are the other manufacturers using the tamiya sorry standard?
- Don the integy tool kits comply with this new version?


Awesome on the screw upgrade. Micro fasteners and places like them can get you a tual hex bolts too - I have yet to invest that amount of $$.

I'm waiting until it's done to post some pics. Who wants to see the same boring build pics...I'm really not doing anything special. However, I would like to attempt a very nice paint job when the time comes.

I installed the 4 bump stops and my tires are rubbing the fenders slightly has anyone else encountered this?

Re: Johnny's Grand Hauler
 

Did you install the o rings in the shocks?

Re: Johnny's Grand Hauler
 

Yes, I did. The fenders are rubbing at the outer edge of them. They are not bottoming out on the under side.

Re: Johnny's Grand Hauler
 

I don't think I'll be installing the lights in this...I'll just keep the sound module in it.

Re: Johnny's Grand Hauler
 

Prodrvr2006, I think he was responding to me. I goofed up by posting my issue in your thread. My apologies.

I am hoping that one of the admin folks sees this post and can move mine.

Re: Johnny's Grand Hauler
 

Nice! Looks like you'll soon have a running chassis. Where'd you get the Michelin logos? I thought I saw those for sale somewhere but can't remember. Oh and of course the Hobbico Builder's Mat! The mark of the professional :D

Re: Johnny's Grand Hauler
 

Thanks! The tire decals are on ebay. There's those and someone else has goodyear decals. And you gotta have a hobbico mat!

Re: Johnny's Grand Hauler
 

It's all painted up now. I'll do all the decals next weekend and hopefully the last drive shaft and some custom wire harnesses show up during the week so I can get this thing driving!

Re: Johnny's Grand Hauler
 

Ok it's done. Just waiting on some electronics to show up.
