Now I want another one with box. Supposedly the TT-02 kit that comes with the R8 LMS body was released may 31, I'm pretty sure I've seen the body kit for sale before that, I could be wrong though. But yes, the 51754 body kit has been re-released.

That may have to do with the screwdriver/bit you're using, I'd recommend getting the Tamiya 74085 Tool Set or get yourself some JIS (Japanese Industry Standard) screwdrivers. Personally I use Vessel 900 (Jawsfit) screwdrivers for my RC cars and vehicles, and Vessel 100 (Wooden handle) for working on audio/video equipment. This is probably the best video on YouTube about JIS screwdrivers: BTW: Looking good and welcome!

Forgot to post these, got 2 packages from Germany, both delivered on Thursday, but I had to pick up 1 of the packages in Germany, picked it up on Friday on my bicycle and also did some grocery shopping as rum is about half the price H-parts for a Nissan Skyline R32, R33 (2x) and R34, also stickers for the R33 and 2 cans of PS XX (Dark Blue) while it's still available. The package I picked up in Germany had a Toyota Celica LB Turbo body inside, and for a change some H-parts. Unfortunately no stickers On the bright side, at least I have a body and repro stickers seem to be available. Used to drool over the 58009 when I was in mid school in the early/mid 80's (No, I'm not that old, I was an early student) Why do these things always go OOP and OOS without a warning? Glad I recently bought the 1/12 Martini Porsche 935 just in time, as currently importing is the only, more expensive, option... seems the kit has been discontinued

Reading the description the 'White' Putty is the same as the 'original' putty, which is what I've used, but honestly I couldn't tell anything useful as that was a long time ago, in my memory it was quite good, but a bit saggy if you applied too much, I don't think it cracked when you applied too much, but I could be mistaken with JB-Weld, like I said, it's been quite a while. Maybe I can come up with some ideas (or links) if you let me know what your goal is, like a functional roll cage, just for aesthetics, or both, does weight matter...

For those that use CA glue (I don't know any better,) you can use a CA/Super Glue Debonder, it may actually be easier to remove than silicone or shoe-glue, but as I haven't used those I couldn't tell you for sure. But I do know that I don't like removing silicone from whatever.

I did a search and I got an AI reply (I did scroll down for other search results, but I doubt an actual answer is out there, if it is it's probably hard to find.) The AI reply does make sense, that's also a reason why I didn't bother to look any further.

Just a tip: You can clean up the link (Which you probably know and isn't necessary, but I like it to look nice, I don't think it's OCD as my apartment looks like a bomb just exploded ) You could use the Link option Amazon Link (URL tags probably work) Or you could remove everything after dp/B........../ and it will look like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tamiya-14-Electric-Man-TGX-18-540-Kit/dp/B0090TOCJC/ You can clean it up even more by removing the part before /dp/ and it will look like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0090TOCJC/ But if you don't care then don't... Same item for different counties (Just change the country code, doesn't work for all countries): https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0090TOCJC/ -> France €322,89 https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0090TOCJC/ -> Germany €309,90 <- Seems to be the best deal when you're in the EU https://www.amazon.it/dp/B0090TOCJC/ -> Italy €329,85 https://www.amazon.nl/dp/B0090TOCJC/ -> Netherlands €322,89 https://www.amazon.es/dp/B0090TOCJC/ -> Spain €375,20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0090TOCJC/ -> USA $619 or so (Checked with an Aurora and Washington zip code) Keep in mind this is without shipping and differences in VAT. As you didn't report back, you: Are still drinking. Have a massive hangover. You are in jail because you assaulted a police officer that tried to arrest you for drunk driving and wanted to impound the RC car you were driving. The lack of reviews may be quite simple (Read below) I have yet to find a deal on Amazon that was too good to be true. Better yet, I've had some good and even great deals on Amazon. They may not sell many because of the kinda low rating of only 3.3 stars, but when you read some of the reviews... "It came without any electronics..." -2 stars. Jessica really liked the item, but decided to give it 1 star because the delivery guy was unfriendly and she was disappointed in the delivery. This is why I read reviews, it's ridiculous how often people rate a product and then complain about their neighbors, who they don't know, not washing their car. Quite often people also have unrealistic expectations, some ...... seem to think that you can buy a fully functional 250 GTO for €50K and expect it to be in mint condition. Keep in mind that most people like to complain (Like I did about the fugly link ) and my guesstimate would be that 8 or 9 out of 10 unhappy people will complain and take the time to write a negative review, on the other hand... when people are happy they're less likely to write a positive review. Not to mention happy people leaving negative feedback, I've seen that quite a few times, in some cases it may have been sarcasm, but I doubt it. But I digress, enough rambling.

Hard (Impossible) to say, personally I think they will be available for quite some time, I mean, you can still get NiCd batteries, not to mention non-rechargeable (Alkaline) and lead-acid batteries, apparently they all have a reason to still exist. The way the world is right now it could end in minutes, but my guess is that it'll take at least 10 years for NiMH to slowly disappear, OTOH technology seems to evolve exponentially and it's impossible to tell what the future may bring. Sorry for the possibly disappointing answer.

I've edited the photo a bit, my real name is Axel and I'm not getting paid to show/advertise the sellers name. Contents of the packages: For those wondering what this has to do with RC models... It's a Track saw On a more serious note, I really need to make changes to just about everything (The way I live, my apartment, 'people' I 'know' and what not) and while I already have a circular saw I wanted something more accurate and more convenient. I've also decided to prioritize my hobby room and the hallway over my living room/kitchen (Not to mention the bedroom and bathroom), but pretty much every decision I make doesn't really make sense as I really want to GTFO of this neighborhood (I was born real close to where I live now.) For those wondering: It's a Makita SP6000J (Bought with the tracks (Listed as 1400mm, but I think I received 1500mm), connectors, M-Box and bag for the tracks it's advertised as a SP6000J1X2, the tape measure was a gift from the seller.)

Nice find! At some point in time I wanted to buy one too (I think it was around €120,) but the TL-01 chassis kinda made me not buy it, the shop that had it for sale was a Greece shop and when I wanted to buy it, because I couldn't find a body set, I found out the shop had closed its doors for good (the owner passed away,) pretty sure I bought a body set not long after (I think it came in the kit box) as I really wanted the body for a project (Note to self: Take more notes about projects!) IIRC most of the bodies that were still available were in Canada, but I think most Canadian shops don't ship abroad or shipping is stupid expensive. One thing I noticed right away, is that the body came without mirrors, is that the case with your kit as well? I vaguely remember that the body was available as a 'light' version too, maybe that version came without mirrors? I could be wrong though.

You're correct (For those interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_converter -> Linking to this as it includes Boost, Buck-boost and Cuk (See right side)) There's always more to a story, if you tell us what you're trying to do we may be able to come up with better suggestions?

19335564/9335564 is also used for Tamiya 58458 (Lamborghini Gallardo LP560) The part# for the old (2011/2012 TT-01) R8 LMS is 10440495/0440495, but I'm pretty sure those are the exact same wheels, only possible difference may be a slightly different color? Fairly sure they've also been used on a Mercedes, but keep in mind that similar wheels with a higher spoke count have been used on a Mercedes. It's not uncommon for Tamiya to use the same wheels on various models, last model I remember looking at is the Fairlady 240Z that uses the same wheels as the Hummer. The 240Z uses the black ones, but they're also available in silver and dark grey. There's another wheel that I vaguely remember wanting to order from the UK, until I figured out the exact same wheel was available in Germany, it just had a different part# Not to mention other parts, but I digress...

No. Don't know anything about their bankruptcy. I couldn't tell you. Did you look into JLC3DP and/or PCBWay? Keep in mind that when you read reviews the ratings may be off substantially.

Still not sure how I obtained my original Grasshopper, somehow I think it was left behind in a box in the shed of my current apartment, pretty confident the box contained some other stuff that should still be in the shed. There was also a receiver on a shelf (Which has been sitting there for the past 25 years) that I like to fix one day. If it was you that left it behind, I'd like to thank you, but after 25 years you're not getting it back!

Just the body?
