I know you could buy alot for that money- but i don't understand people that buy new in box stuff then put it in the cupboard, only to then hunt for the next one....

But then how much of our hobby is rational?!

[Repsol Ta02 Nib/ Nip For Sale!]

Hi guys, I'm just putting a few feelers out at the moment.I have recently purchased a new in Box Ford Escort Repsol TA02 kit. The only think i needed out of the box was the bodyshell and decals etc.

I'm wondering if someone would be interested in buying everything else, or would it be better to list a few lots on the bay for spares?

Offers appriciated

Thanks

Ryan

Thanks guys- I've sorted it now. I have some ever-so-slightly over size screws where i think the length and body is the same but the tread is a bit wider- worked a treat!!

I've had Quite a few HPI shells, and they're quality is near, or as good as Tamiya lexan shells.

Give them a go, as they do lots of different types/ makes and retail for under 20

Thats a long time. you could have driven there for a nice holiday and came back in that amount of time

I think the italians are used to it though, as i never once got any negitive comments whilst e-mailing, and she even left positive feedback when she finally received it

Ohh those looks lovely-!

Has anyone seen the milled ali chassis you can get too? (only on eBay i think)

God i'm soooo tempted

Someone talk some sense into me please.....

I don't know Why you'd wanna buy the manuals, cos surely then you'll just wanna buy all the cars...

Like being surrounded by beautiful women that dont fancy you

Frustration is a wonderful thing!

No, so don't pay a premium for them, Tamiya still manufacture them. Get a UK store to order them in for you... http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=53195

Thanks matey- really usefull

[Liquid Thread Lock]

The blue Tamiya stuff works a treat- but gets everywhere! keep some tissue near by!

[Duff/ Substandard Tamiya Kits?!]

Guys- I know this might be a bit of a noob question, but Im just building a TT01 kit, and found a couple of the screws wont bite down. (Ill give the specifics if anyone wants to get that technical!) Now I have built quite a few Tamiya kits and never found this problem before and wondered if anyone has come across this on the TT01

Now Im definitely using the right screws, and not over-tightening them(they didn't bite in the first place) so wondered how to fix it? Do I just pour in a bit of thread lock and hope for the best?

Or use a slightly bigger screw that I have knocking about?

Thanks for your help in advance.

[*wanted* Ta01 Carbon Lower And Upper Deck]

Hi, I'm getting some carbon plates made up for both the TA01 and the TA02 chassis. There a couple of months away at the moment though.

Cool matey- keep me posted!

Are these parts super rare?

[*wanted* Ta01 Carbon Lower And Upper Deck]

Hi guys, I would like the carbon deck for the TA01/02. Also any TA01/2 or TT01 Bodyshells, must be new, or as new, and pref centering around rally cars of the 80's/ 90's, but will look at whatever.

Thanks for your help!
