Tamiya Dark Impact Project
Page 1: Stock Assembly
The chassis used pretty much all white parts.
The chassis bathtub, the suspension arms, the shock towers, the shock
bodies, and the diff housings are all white. The drive cups are
black and of course the metal parts are not white. The motor is
transverse mounted ahead of the rear axle and is pretty much buried
inside the chassis. The kit comes with a "torque tuned" motor
which is a bit better than the standard silver can. The wheels are
also white and are wrapped with pinned tires which are wider in the
back than in the front. Since this is a 4WD, they are all the same diameter.
I liked the white look so much that I went a bit
overboard and painted the servo, speed control, and receiver white as
well along with their wires. The paint is quickly flaking off the
flexible wires, but I still like the look. For the body I went
with Pearl White and the stock stickers which looks really nice.
The wing has the overspray film on the wrong side you need to remove it
and mask the other side to paint.
