I am cheating as this isn't Tamiya based at all, but I got a bit more done on my FanRC FR01 / Factory Works TEN 4.1 build. Waiting on tires to come in, and get some paint on the body.

TBH, this is new to me also!! I have been collecting / restoring vintage RC cars for a few years now, but I wanted to get into some sort of competition. I did the crawler thing 15+ years ago and kinda lost interest in that, and I am approaching 50yo, so I don't have the eyes or hands for racing ............ but about 4 months ago, during a random local FBMP deal, the seller mentioned the LHS having puller comps. The next day I inquired with them, and it was on! Tomorrow will be my second official registration, and I will be entering three trucks. Slash based, 7lb 2wd, and Sportsman. All have different rules, weight limits, battery limits, dimensions, etc.

I was writing out that this isn't Tamiya related at all, but I had to correct myself. This has stock Clod rear wheels, stock Clod rear tires (cut, clocked, and back cut), aftermarket Tamiya Semi front axle, custom Semi front wheels, and Semi front tires, so it is actually is very Tami. My Sportsman class puller. Scheduled for its first competition this Saturday.

Thanks for the reply! I looked at little further into the variants, and found that the Rough Rider had the short post, the Sand Scorcher had the medium, and the Ranger had the long. My rig started as a Ranger, so it came with the long one, and then I ordered what was supposed to be a Scorcher post, but it seems to be a RR mount, as it is short and doesn't slide on much at all. The rere SS seems to have switched over to a single piece mount, but I would rather avoid that if I can. Mine is getting some newer parts so it isn't pure, but some pieces I would like to keep old.

Looking for: Right front lower suspension arm. I apparently torqued mine just a bit too much. Front and rear body mount posts. I have two fronts, but neither seems to be correct for the Scorcher. I think I need between the two I have. For the rear, someone stuck a wood screw in mine at some point and screwed the threads, so could use one of those also.

Pretty much finished up my Inter-Fab Viper EX-10.

Finished up the mechanical side of my Traxxas Bullet. Fin

Looking for a brush guard for a Pickup / Blazing Blazer, and tires for the BB. Could also use a rear bumper in great condition. Thanks

Finished up my Stadium Blitzer mechanically.

Did a simple refresh of an old Falcon. This car is 90%+ pure, so not much work.

I know it is a heck of a long shot, but I am looking for a 4X-400 4wd MIP conversion kit, or as many pieces as you may have. I also have some other parts on my MIP SRB that are good enough for use, but I could use better if you have some spares. Thanks

I think we use a completely different name for such an establishment in the US.

I picked up a bunch of these the last time I needed to clean out the hobby room. They were from Big Lots, and I bought up all they had one weekend, and they were beige, and then went to get more the next weekend, and they were blue. Seems to be great size for 1/10 buggies and onroads, plus extra parts.

Introduced the comical to the rest of the FX-10 family. This is a tense moment.............

Finishing up my Comical FX-10. I am having difficulty with the body at this point, but am working through it slowly. I am recycling an old body in an effort to keep this a $0 build. Hope to get it all worked out in the next few days, or it will be thrown on the shelf and never really done.
