is it the viper body?

Very sad news. All the best for you and your family

Where did you find the LF2200? I can't seem to find them anywhere ...

The updated arms are 2.6mm in diameter. If you look at the TA05v2 you can see the sizes. I'm not entirely sure what arms are from the TB EVO IV reversible arms but probably similar. Here's the TA05 reversible suspension arm kit. Note the 4 shafts below the wheel axle and they have a flatten spot. That's where the set screws from the C hub and the rear hub meet and holds the shafts in place instead of the older e-clips.

Would be interesting if they re-release a version of the TRF414

Do a search for Double Shoulder Pan Head bolt. If you need the exact measurement, I can probably get it for you too but I have to find some time to disassemble mine TXT-1

If you have an example, take it to the hardware store (the ones that specializes in fastner) and see if they know what type is it then you can probably find it more readily. The only thing that comes in mind is a special type of shoulder bolt but this particular one has two pivot point.

I guess you can let me know who would be interested in buying it

It's about 10"

I had thought all M bodies was pre-drilled so just assumed they should all fit.

I have two M04L bodies, Honda S2000 and the BMW Z3, can these still fit M08 chassis or should I keep waiting for a decent M04L or maybe just sell them ...

I would keep it. They are so much fun and very durable.

I tend to buy hop-ups that actually has a purpose (e.g. adds durability, makes my life easier while I work on the car, or make my car perform better). In the end it's almost always cheaper to get a TRF race car from the beginning than slowly upgrading the plastic counterpart chassis. With that said, I completely understand buying hop-ups for a project which you have a vision for.

If I had an XV02, the first thing I'd swap out would be the suspension blocks from plastic (or fibre reinforced) to the aluminum ones for added durability. I find it odd Tamiya left that out for the XV-02 Pro.

They used to have a physical store that you can pick up from. I have ordered from them years ago and they shipped it out promptly.

It looks like a fun build. But I know I will be suckered into buying most of the hop-ups

ah maybe ask one of the Europe/German based TC member. They might be able to order one and mail it out to you.

after watching the video I kinda want one now

Here's a BC12. I would get on it and buy it as they are getting harder and harder to find. https://tamico.de/Tamiya-Alu-Aufhaengungshalter-vorn-TRF201-DN-01-13454711

I wished they just release the Turbo Optima Mid instead of the Optima Mid. Let's be honest, who is not going to get all those hop-up parts

the auction does say, LARRY ZABOLOTNY ESTATE

Maybe it's a store?

Now the debate with JIS vs Hex has been quite fun to read but it all comes down to the quality of JIS/hex driver. If you have bad ones, your end result will still be a stripped head. Spend the money and buy a quality set of drivers and it will last you the life time of the hobby.

It doesn't really matter the head as long as https://hobbyking.com/en_us/catalogsearch/result/?q=M2.6
