I wonder if it is possible to use steering rods from Blitzer Beetle or Stadium Thunder. I guess they are based upon the same chassis.

I guess the DF-03-wheels do roughly have the same diameter as the original wheels. You won't need to change gearing because of that.

The higher the number of turns, the lower power, the lower the RPM. Usually they say that the silver-can has 27? 29? turns... There are 2 different types of brushless-motors: Star-wound and Delta-wound motors. Typically a 9,5T (brushless star-wound-motor) matches for a 17T Standard-DC motor.

No, the DF-03-shocks do not include shock-mounts. If you need new plastic shock-mounts search for Tamiya 9005333 (black). There is a "red version" of the b-parts too (Tamiya 9005504).

From my point of view the original steering rods (BD10 & BD11) are too short. I have "upgraded" to those from the XTM X-Cellerator (L/R-turnbuckles + short adjusters Tamiya 50797). Alu-Wheel-Hubs (e.g. Tamiya 53569) are useful too.

It should be easy to get the rims of the StadiumThunder (part number 9335228). The only difference is the color. If you have a motor strong enough you could try the MadBull wheels (9805562 & 9805563).

Definition of "Budget": It is something you always want, but you typically do not have.

I would not recommend the plastic hubs. As soon as you tighten the wheel nut too much, the whole wheel is locked. Have a look at Tamiya - 53569 (deluxe version) or Tamiya - 53056.

Good Samaritan... God bless you.

Isn't the "Metric 48dp" usually refered as M0,5? Like used in the DF-03?

These pinions are metric. So they do not have a "pitch"... Pinions for the DF-02 have a "module" of 0,6mm (as well as TA-01). conversion: pd = 25,4 / m = 25,4 / 0,6 = 42,33dp

Ugly chassis? Tamiya Sonic Fighter? Edit: No - it isn't...

I would "repair" it from outside (e.g. little hole at the end of crack + decal sticker) and paint it from inside...

camouflage paint job ?

Those "ReRes" have a limited lifetime anyway (e.g. ThunderShot, FireDragon, Frog, Grasshopper). Since Tamiya introduced the TT-01E some time ago, I have a feeling they have "given up" the TT-01 (in standard configuration). ?

Don't you have a free webmail address (or something like that)? I still have the high-quality-version on my harddisk...

Neil, there is print-resolution-information added "into" the file. The size of the "complete" decal (including Tamiya-Logo on bottom) is Width: 15,98cm (= 6,29 inches) Height: 33,94cm (= 13,363 inches) Check this: Those 5 yellow "smileys" for the lamps have a diameter of about 0,7 inches. PS: The problem of the "poor" file that I uploaded is not the "poor" resolution. It is "poor" in terms of color. E.g. that "black stripes": Their color is inhomogeneous.

Is this better? Since I can not upload more than 500K - quality is a bit "poor" now. If you want a better quality - I need your email address... Edit: Meanwhile I removed the upload because of "attachement space used"...

Oh!!!! Now I know why you were talking of "2 together"... Gimme a second...

Is this because the decal was scanned too short? Or is this because your printer does not print the whole decal?

Can you print this? What do you mean by "the two together"? Hilux + Clod?

Try the following: Save both decal-pictures onto your harddisk. Open a new "empty" Word-Document. "Insert" the picture/graph into the word-doc. You can quite easily modify the size of of the pic inside the word-doc. -------------- Other question: Which printing-format do you use? Letter? Legal?

The pictures are OK. All you need are the right printer-settings. Is Adobe-PDF fine with you?

Servus! Is this what you are looking for?

The wheelbase of Tamiya Blitzer Beetle's bodyshell is 250mm (when measured between the "highest points" of the mudguards / wheelarches). Width at wheelarches (including mudguards), front: appr. 162mm Width at wheelarches (including mudguards), rear: appr. 186mm
