I dont even get that far........... I buy a new car (impulse buy obviously) and instantly turn into

Anyone ever get buyers remorse after ordering a new or new to you kit/rc?

And that's when it all got awkward...............

Not gonna lie, that's pretty hawt

From what I've read the wheels from china are usually pretty weak....I do like the tires though.

Looks like I'm going to have to try this one. Thanks!!

you know you could just try to throw up a giant magnet sheet on your wall........................... then just throw all your metal bits up there and it'll be considered "functional art".

It doesnt control the temp of the motor, just the ESC itself (thermal shutoff) and this motor is only a 13T motor and a TBLE02S with cooling fan which can't really be programmed to the degree as say a Tekin or some Hobbywing ones with the program card/usb connection etc. And this setup is more than fine for the gears inside this car which is basically the same design type in all Tamiyas.. M05,MF01X,TA01/2 and so on.

it's going on Ebay......... think I just made that decision.

Yeah, I already put them in my TL01 spares bag.... it's going to need some parts that's for sure....

Hey bud, Im in North FTW/ Denton area. How's the weather down in Tomball??

Now this is interesting.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tamiya-Lunchbox-Midnight-Pumpkin-4-link-rear-suspension-kit-1104-/142135913060?hash=item2117f5ea64:g:td8AAOSwCGVX5vA-

This just came in...... DF01, needs a new gear box , prop shaft and motor mount on top of the obvious wheels, tires and body..... will start disassembling tonight to see if its worth the effort.

SSSSSSHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I was hoping he would show us what he's got cooking

I have a question Pinto, I see you have the bottom battery latch bolted down..... how do you get the batt in or out?

21T brushed........... and a 13.5 is WAY fast for these guys.

You mean like the one's on the TA01/TA02 fronts? Also i have the aluminum heat sync just have no pics of it to show, and I'm too lazy to take new ones I NEED another TL01LA......... if i can ever find another one

HAH!!!!!! It's slow....... and the tires on these things are so hard to balance it's **** near impossible to run these things fast without it starting to look like it's got the shakes

THATS THE GUY!! I didnt remember the sellers name as the link to the auction was dead.

Yeah, it has a few mods and ignore the original Midnight Pumpkin in the 1st post....... it's been sold. http://www.ultimaterc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=230596 Oh and one thing not on that thread was I bought a transmission brace that this guy was 3d printing them...looks like he isnt selling them anymore though.

@Terz1 Not offended at all bud and honestly I'm fine with them all falling apart....except mine of course as it would drive up the value . I do know that the diff's and the outside counter gear mount piece were weak links, but not a huge deal (although finding parts for the diff was a nightmare).

+1 on the middle one, mine is hanging in the closet of my office/man cave/workshop (the empty room I work in) except I don't have them labeled as I have remembered what goes were Im in them so much. makes life easier as I had about 3-4 smaller totes floating around and would have to dig them up when something was needed.... now its all in one place and out of the way!

Nice, never had one as a buggy, but they are pretty awesome cars..... so awesome in fact that many of their parts/design are used still today.... examples are MF01X, GF01, WR02 I'm always on the lookout for a nice TL01LA especially since I just missed out on one Here's the current state of my TL01LARA (Long Arm Rally)

Yeah, once I pulled it out to replace the front wheel bearings, the truck was so clean and everything was so smooth.... kinda rekindled the joy of having it.... lil bit anyways. And I totally know what you mean about crappy listings, those are the ones I look out for.... especially the ones that the title or description is wrong... i remember long while back I bought what equated to 3 Rustlers......... for 75 dollars shipped. Guy wasnt happy that was all he got for it... but hey win some and you lose some. I did get a Manta Ray slider for 50 shipped too and it's in decent shape it'll be cleaned up and either driven or sold off again.... who knows.

What I did........... in a round about way, I have the vintage LB with the body still being reworked, and my wheeliemog shown below for running
