  1. Can I get a quick response on the above, particularly the connectors and spare parts? I'd like to put in one order for everything and need to do it soon. The LHS is pretty clueless about vintage Tamiya stuff so you guys are my best source for reliable info. Thanks again!
  2. Thanks guys. I think I'll avoid the 8.4v and stick to the stock setup for now. Later down the road if I decide I need more speed I'll go for a full brushless/lipo setup. I'm surprised the drivetrain is up for it, but good to know! Do I need to buy new plug connectors? I thought everything would come with Tamiya ("standard" is what we called them back in the day) connectors. I don't even own a soldering iron anymore so I was hoping everything would be plug and play. What's a decent wearing wheel/tire combo for dirt/grass bashing? I'd like to keep the stock rims/tires for display. Finally, what are the more common breakable parts that should be kept on hand? Sorry for all the questions, thanks again!
  3. Last car I had was a Kyosho Optima back in 1987, so ive been out of it awhile. Things have changed! I want to build a super hotshot over winter. I always wanted a Tamiya car as a kid, and now I can afford one and it'll give me something to build during the cold and dark Alaskan winter. I dont own any gear anymore. I'll just be doing some light bashing so dont need top of the line. This is what i'm thinking: HK orange GT-2 with a spare receiver and ubec Imax B6ac charger Ternigy 7.2v 4200 mah nimh bat Will these componts work well with the stock tamiya esc, as well as with each other? Any limitations to this set-up, or other considerations for someone getting back in after 30 years? I'm open to suggestions but trying to keep everything under 400 USD, shipped. Thanks guys. Looking forward to putting the order in soon so I'll have everthing before winter. Pretty excited! Oh, any thoughts about going with 8.4v batteries instead?
