  1. Try Modellbau-Seidel.de, they speak English and accept Paypal .
  2. Your Durga looks great and you make nice pictures too! Make sure you post some pictures of the Durga running .
  3. You're looking for the same antenna as Blaque Jacque has mentoined. RC Antenna Rod: 56301/56004 - X7020 Item #5365001 This is the Hummer version which is 35 cm long. I use a shorter one on my Hilux High Lift, which is from the Leopard tank and is 17.5 cm long. RC Antenna: 56019 Item #5365011 Notice that you need either a M5 screw to mount it or buy a Tamiya part called 'antenna holder' which is located in screwbag E (9415167) of the M1025 Hummer kit.
  4. I had to do the same on my Fiat Abarth 1000TCR body, there isn't a TS number for Corsa Grey, the manual stated I had to mix it my own. I painted the abs parts with the PS Corsa grey and sprayed a good layer of TS13 Clear coat over it. Worked like a dream
  5. Cut halve of the mirrors of and you really have a nice High Lift!
  6. The wheelbase of the new TT01 bodies is 251mm and the wheelbase of your TA04SS is 247 mm, you could try to mod the rear arms and add some spacers, all you have to do is find 4mm somewhere !
  7. Love it and you really had some nice 1:1, what do you currently drive?
  8. Another stunner from you! I didn't know this ABC body looked this great, I need to get myself one someday. The MR2 SW20 is one of the best Toyotas ever, to bad they made the "new" MR2 look like a barbiecar. You could easily paint the centerparts of the wheels white, then they won't yellow anymore. If you buy new ones they'll look the same by this time next year
  9. Looks really great and the vintage rims fit like a dream. A question though, how did you paint those trimlines so nicely?
  10. 2.2 tires fit like a dream on the DF03 rims, I use Pro-Lines on mine.
  11. You can even convert the M04M to fit bodies like the Tamtech Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini. See RC-mini.net for more information. They've used a M04L but the wheelbase is going to be changed anyway, so the principle stays the same.
  12. I voted the Hilux too, I bought it a month ago as my first scaler kit and I can tell you, you really can't go wrong with it. Building the kit is really great and unlike any other Tamiya kit I've ever done, there is really a lot to be build, the body alone will keep you busy for a few days! I agree with the guys above, the stock 1.9 tires are way to small. You could either keep these tires and lower the Hilux (click here for _miga_'s tutorial) or you could mount 2.2s (that's what I have done). The Hilux (and the F350 too btw) are great for mounting Leds, you don't have to buy a expensive MFU if you want to have Leds, a 3Racing and Yeah Racing light kit will do the trick too, see my showroom here for more details. However if you want the vibration and sound unit too then you should buy the MFU. Driving these cars is really cool too, they are almost unstoppable in first gear
  13. A dummy MSC servo did the trick for my Willy
  14. Getting Willy out can be really a problem, the rollcage can be unscrewed very easily, but the steering is glued.. I had some succes bending the steeringrod very gently and getting him out. However getting him in again is a real pain in the a** then. You're better of trying to remove thet steeringwheel first.
  15. Dude that Skyline rocks! I'm not a fan of police style RCs but yours is really stunning. Great job (again)! It's an honour bringing you back to Tamiya .
