Thanks for the hunting. Such a shame. I love this car. F1 is still big. Don't forget Nascar means little outside the USA. Although there has been a big loss of interest in F1, V8 supercars, DTM, supervises etc. I can't help but link this with the advent of them all being moved from Free or package TV channels to exclusive subscription services. Along with other issues.

richb77 started following M05 RWD or 4wd conversion possible?, Jordan 191...Will it ever return?, 2 axle to 3 conversion and and 4 others
-
I have been after a Jordan 191 RC for many years. I was too young to afford it first time around....now I'm older and still can't afford the rew that pop up. Will it ever be re-released do you think? Licencing would be the only issue but as Tamiya was at one point a sponsor??.
-
Thanks chaps. Current projects prohibit that kind of moolah. I'll stick with the twin axle and work up to a 3 axle next big purchase. Thanks for the work tim.senecal that was above and beyond and I really appreciate it! Happy Tamiya Easter everyone!!

Duplicate post. That'll teach me to do it on my phone ..

Hi all. Some years ago I bought the Mercedes 1851 gigaspace and have gotten some time now to build. However...I'm lamenting I didn't get the 3363 3 axle version. Does anyone know what extras are needed to convert? Or if it's even really worth it. Other than looks what does it offer? Cheers

Will we see a re-re-release of the Willies Wheeler?
richb77 posted a topic in Re-Release Discussions
For various reasons i missed out on the wheeler when it was "re"-released a while back and already see these kits with asking prices close to a grand (either side). Surely Tamiya will start them rolling again at some point in the near future? I hope Tamiya dont start a business practice like Nintendo (plan to sell 1M so make 950,000 units) . -

No. The Lexan F-150 Lightning.
-
It's a long shot... But does anyone know a body supplier that has a lightning in the range (ideally a Tamiya clone) as this will have to do unless Tamiya San is planning a re-release soon?!
-
Thanks but what i meant was a list for each model. So it would read... "Model": 4 x 1150 8 x 1050 E.T.C and there was a page for each chassis/model. Ignore my insane jibberings...I see the link you have supplied and can do the legwork. Its just a shame i think the site i found is either lost or been forcefully pulled. I have a feeling it was another Tamiya forum site or maybe even vintage-RC- Thanks by the way!

Hi All. Once upon a time i came across a list of Tamiya models (not unlike the model list here) and each model/chassis had a list of the bearings used in that model. Anyone know where that was/is or where i can find similar as i like to source my bearings locally (basically suppliers at work get me what i want for a few quid as work buy thousands of big bearings from them. I have just bought a JTCC Chavalier on the FF03 chassis and want to know what i need. Cheers. Rich

As the title says. I want a vintage frog for restoration. Anything 50%+ complete considered. Also I am looking for an F-150 lightning body. Unpainted

Hi all. I have an unused m05 chassis (racing mini Cooper Version) that I want to rally/tarmac. The car in mind is RWD and I'd like to convert it if possible. Is there a way? Is it worth it? I could at a push leave it FWD if its a ballache. Thanks chaps.
