Tamiyausa.com still have it listed as current;

Nope, never knew that Had a quick google and found this http://www.brighton-accountants.com/blog/vat-jersey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAT-free_imports_from_the_Channel_Islands eBay only flags up certain US sellers too - do the sellers have to opt-in to the global thingy service maybe?

ASIARC announced that the new XRIDER 1/8 remote control tricycle flamingo is coming soon. Design inspiration of this tricycle comes from Piaggio Ape in Italy. This tricycle is very maneuverable and equipped with a powerful motorcycle engine and delta tricycle design. Widen the wheelbase of the original narrow rear wheel to decrease the problem of rolling over The cornering performance is smooth and the posture is as like drift car, which is also suitable for two-wheel tilt stunts. It also faithfully derives its appearance and features from the real tricycle. The changing shape and the head-shaking cartoon of driver make the whole tricycle more entertaining.

It's already in Paypal's own safety guidelines not to use 'F&F/Gift' to pay for goods - If people don't read the safety suggestions set out by the company handling their cash then there's little chance of them reading any extra suggestions here. There's even a choice when making the payment One's specifically for sending to 'Friends and Family' - If the person you're buying from isn't a friend or a family member, then don't use it The other is specifically for paying for 'item or service' - The clue's in the title! We don't ban any method of payment, such as cheques, Western Union, bank transfer etc - Paypal offers some protection if used correctly, nothing else does. It's up to all parties to make sure they're happy and protected in all aspects of online trading - How many of us use debit cards for online purchases even though there's far more protection when using a credit card, but the whole world is still allowed to accept online payments by debit card?

Yeah, I'm on Modelsport too 🙂

Try this; https://greensmodels.co.uk/products/rc4wd-12mm-hex-conversion-kit-for-tamiya-bruiser-2012 They're in the UK - looks like you'll need new shafts to minimize the track increase? If Greens don't have them, try Martin at RC Bitz (UK again) - he might have a delivery date https://rcbitz.com/bodies-lexan-hard-abs/12mm-hex-conversion-kit-for-tamiya-bruiser-2012-rc4wd-z-s0107/

There's another set here, although the design looks similar, so the offset might be necessary? https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/132806156703?chn=ps

Adaptors have been made, not sure what's still available though; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tamiya-1-10-Toyota-Bruiser-Mountaineer-Aluminum-Wheel-Rim-Adapter-Hub-12mm-4pcs-/221233477136?nma=true&si=jxT7zWfGxlDyl6zR9Nm%2BMEFOBv8%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Pretty simple maths, then a decision; £329 - 5% discount = £312.55 £329 - 10% discount = £296.10 + £15 for subs = £311.10 Spend £15 and the same truck is £1.45 cheaper - It's your choice, but if you need anything else in the next year...

It should be ok now

Are the threads stripped in SA2? It's made of alu, so dead easy to wreck 😣

If one wheel turns with a locked diff, then something is very wrong/broke. Your best bet is strip it down and take a good look at everything, especially the splined holes on the diff gears, where they mate with the drive shafts If the diff is locked properly but one wheel spins, that would suggest either the drive splines in the gear are stripped, the gear itself is broken or the shaft's broken. If there's no breakage on SA7/SA8 and the dowels are in the wheel hexes correctly, check these: Splines inside BG2 Splines on SA7/SA8

Jeez, the forum would melt if it was 2WD though - it's bad enough when Tamiya release a kit based on a real car but put the motor at the wrong end

There's no (clearly visible) Tamiya branding on the decal sheet, but the Grasshopper has Tamiya badges, so looks like a repro set

If Tamiyablog is right, then it's 58666

Just found the eBay listing (and bigger pics) Repro stuff before the originals? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alu-parts-Shock-body-mount-for-Tamiya-WR-02CB-Comical-Grasshopper-WR-02-GF-01/143037611894?hash=item214db4bf76:m:mhQO7lxJM5z4FNTxdxm7vLg:rk:2:pf:0
