  1. Forever with us in RC. I still have some Panda Grafix sticker sets and had some great chats with Willy. Super helpful guy that will be missed. Thank you @kiasukid for giving notice.
  2. I'm interested.... will you then need to also swap universal or driveshafts ? I think the Top Force hub inner is 1mm deeper than the SA hub.
  3. This is one of the first threads I checked out on TC when I discovered you Guy's in 2010. Durga was then my re-entry to Tamiya so sweet nostalgia for me, thanks ! I remember the review on Oople too https://www.oople.com/rc/photos/reviewtamiyadurga/ I have strong feels for this car still.
  4. Cheers ! Yeah, I've tweaked the wing position and fitted DF03 wheels and tyres on the back. Lost the Astute rear shock mount and went back to the Manta Ray rear mount and shock position. Also a pair of Top Force universal shafts to go in and then I'll post another pic. It drives amazingly well.....
  5. Almost one full rotation around the sun and I finally got out for the shakedown. Exactly as expected..... it's fast, quiet and well balanced with no issues. I'm calling this a success !
  6. So after reviewing all the content in this thread, you're statement suggests this is a normal electric motor....... I don't think our readers will believe you !
  7. Lewis Hampster or Rodent Grojean ?
  8. I heard that when the moon passes over Northamptonshire it gets closer to earth due to the gravity of that clod and when that Clod goes outside, the sun gets burnt.
  9. You are doing some hard running or running some hard springs to break the rear bulkhead. I've broken one once doing both.
  10. It's a strange marketing strategy to me. There is no "want it more with time" market...that customer already wants it ! @sosidge great comment on Japanese marketing culture, it's unique for sure.
  11. These are some good examples of why launching a product that is not available is a classic marketing fail. Tamiya have completely ignored the impulse buyer and the buy now market and so deserve to lose the battle on that front.
  12. The OG Astute body is all the way up to the rear shock tower and the repro body looks to have quite a gap there too... I use TBG bodies on my runners and they fit OK and should marry nicely with the Tamiya under tray.
  13. Suspect the body is the culprit there. The back of the side pod should be straight down and not balloon out. That's a tough one.
  14. My experience is that ultra high viscosity gear diff oil works best in these planetary gear diffs. It slows the diff action considerably more than AW grease and doesn't leak out a black mess.
