and 49189 - Ferrari 312t1 F103

From what I can make out in the Picture you are all wrong ! an actual picture of the front end would help, but from what I can see, its just a "standard" Egress front shock tower (which is made of FRP, not Carbon) as is the rear, just looks like its got some additional parts to mount the shocks to on it. BTW - FRP = Fibre reinforced plastic (or fibreglass)

quote:Originally posted by DJTheoI think Darryn kept the original post as he has the guts to stand over his mistakes, I think it would be easier for him to cover/delete the whole thing, but he chose the manly way, to stand behind his actions and even apologise![^] id="quote">id="quote">whatever, I am not taking sides here, I am just saying that I thought the whole point of the rules against swearing were that anyone could read it so its not acceptable at all, yet it hasnt been deleted ? ? ?

And also chris has been noticable by his absence in this thread.

Just making a point, if theres going to be rules, enforce them equally.

Thats awesome

I would just like to say that maybe Darryn should try be "Nazi-like" with his own posts as I see even though he's apologised, he somehow didnt see fit to edit his post like he would with anyone else ? Seems to be a bit of "do as I say , not as I do"

[?] id="quote">id="quote"> close but no cigar !, its a Ferrari Kit + Body with Sauber sticker sheet, it will only be available in Europe and It's not a proper Tamiya kit (as there is no part number for it)

quote:Originally posted by stulec52quote:A 1/8th body would not fit on there at all(and I happen to think that they are horrid anyhow), I would think you would be hard pushed to find a body that would come close to fitting, only ones I can think of are the Losi XX and Kyosho Zaboon, but whats the point anyway ?id="quote">id="quote">1 - the point is to make an individual car. Also some of the 1/8th scale bodies might be made to fit, but I think they would still end up being too big 2 - ...just because you think they are horrid does not mean everyone else does 3 - Losi XX might fit, but losi stopped making those a while ago so might not be as easy to find, and as they are 2 wd the body is not as wide at the front end id="quote">id="quote">1 - I know all about making individual cars, trust me. and I think you kinda answered my entire point about the 1/8th bodies(They arnt 1/10th so whats the point, they will never fit) 2 - I know that, thats not the point. 3 - I meant the XX4, like you already said earlier. but on the whole I am in the same frame of mind as you on the matter of Tamiya "reviving" the buggy kraze, lets wait and see.

quote:Originally posted by jerzirccarHI! My opinion is that TAMIYA should make an off road car from the TB chassis. The belt system is not so POP at this time. It is more shaft now. Jerry id="quote">id="quote">Thats exactly what I think too, but lets wait and see hey, they are doing both with the Touring cars at the moment.

quote:Originally posted by mjohnston39A proline 1/8 buggy body might be able to get a on there as well, they look pretty good but I guess it depends on the wheel base etc. Mike. id="quote">id="quote">A 1/8th body would not fit on there at all(and I happen to think that they are horrid anyhow), I would think you would be hard pushed to find a body that would come close to fitting, only ones I can think of are the Losi XX and Kyosho Zaboon, but whats the point anyway ?

quote:Originally posted by SjoerdI think it was the only one with a short wheelbase, though I'm not 100% sure. [] The 'FF01S' can be easily be transformend into a normal FF01, without needing the extra bits. [^] id="quote">id="quote">The Golf VR6 Too , but that was all.

quote:Originally posted by RicH_87I'm not sure but i think the re-release has the Pink Acto-Power 2wd motor where as the original didn't. id="quote">id="quote">actually its a new motor, that cannot be purchased seperatly, it has the same can as the 11t modified that Tamiya make, but is only around 17 turns, and its not ballraced or rebuildable. But yes, that is the oinly difference.

Just to confirm , the things that make an Egress definetley an Egress are as follows ;- Egress has Gold springs on the Hi-cap Dampers. Egress also has a unique front shock tower, different to the Avante 2001 version, and different again to the one that comes in 53036 Hi-cap Damper set, as that one is to enable you to mount the dampers on an original Avante. Egress also has thicker suspension arms, front and rear. and chunkier front uprights. These are the parts that set the Egress apart from the Avante + 2001's with hop-ups on, because all the other parts/options plus the body , wheels and tires etc, can be purchased seperatly. The only parts that are the same on both cars, are the Transmission parts inc. the gearbxes), apart from the ball diffs on the Egress, rear shocktower and the aluminum chassis hardware and N-Parts. and finally, the rear wing on the Avante 2001 is unique also, as the side panels are a different shape to the ones on the "Rear wing set A" as used on the Egress, Astute, Super Asute.
