Okay, the Supershot is spoken for, for now . . . But no one needs another Frog in their stable? No one needs another project vehicle? Come on, you know you want it . . . []

Some pics . . .

I have two Tamiyas for sale. Neither is running. The Supershot is in great condition, and I really wish I had the time to get the motor put in. I have torn it down, cleaned it pretty well, and put it back together. I have a motor, but it just isn't installed. I think I have the electronics as well, I just haven't installed them yet . . . I bought the Supershot off ebay, so I am not the original owner . . . I also have an early vintage Frog, with a decent body. Also, it does have the motor and electronics, however, I just cannot figure out why it doesn't run. I have not had a chance to clean this one up . . . Also purchased off of ebay . . . I am asking for offers. Make me an offer, see if it tickles my fancy . . . I don't have pics yet, but I'm working on it . . . I also have two Blackfoots. I haven't decided whether to sell one. Is there any interest in this? Finally, I have a MIB ClodBuster. Brand-new. I don't know if it would sell too well right now (they're still available on the shelves, yes?), so I might hold on to it, too . . . but if I get an offer, who knows? Thanks, all . . .

Everyone! As I stated in an earlier thread, the online manuals are causing me some grief. I need to find manuals that are legible (condition doesn't matter, as long as they are complete and legible) for the following cars: Blackfoot Frog Supershot Can anyone help? If you go out to Kinko's and photocopy the manuals for me, I'll pay for the copying and shipping! [] I don't know if that's legal, but I'm still going to make that offer . . . []

First, let me say I think this site is wonderful, and the opportunity to gather knowledge and expertise from other Tamiya fans is outstanding! Thank you to whomever runs this site . . . That being said, I wonder if there is anyone who can offer a little help to me. I cannot get a decent copy of the manuals from the manuals section of this site. I cannot print anything that comes out legible. Sometimes I can read it on the computer screen, but my computer and my cars are not so easily brought together in the same area . . . Is there a way to download the PDFs more legibly? Is this something I'm doing wrong on my side? I'm restoring a Supershot, a Frog, and several Blackfoots. The Supershot I am doing blindly, but I need to do more rebuilding on the others, and would like to get manuals I can read (the Supershot is in great condition, needed a cleaning more than anything) . . . Can anyone help?

Okay, thanks, Jimbo. So it's safe to say I didn't do anything incorrectly? That's my other big concern . . .

Okay, this is the gist: I bought a trashed Stadium Blitzer off eBay, but the truck had a relatively new radio system, which is what I wanted. Got it for a song. The servos, receiver, and speed-control all look to be in excellent condition, as does the transmitter. I hooked the servos to the receiver, as well as the speed control. I then attached a charged battery to the speed control. Nothing! No movement in the servos. Did I do something wrong? (yes, I tuned the switch On . . . ). I then attached the leads to the motor, and when I moved the speed control, the motor was dancing! So I know current was flowing . . . Any tips? I'd like to make sure I didn't get screwed on this auction, and I really don't want to shell out a ton for new servos . . . .

Okay, looks like I just don't know as much about Tamiyas as I thought. I didn't realize there was a 1/14th Blackfoot. Oops . . .

Sure doesn't look like any Blackfoot I have ever seen . . . Looks like someone was being creative with some stickers . . . http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...DME:B:RECO:US:2
