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

I'm unfortunately still searching for this part. Anyone?

Hi All. I stripped my Jug 2 for restoration and "lost" (i suspect someone with small hands was playing with my box of bits) one of the leaf spring U bolt platforms , part E1 (see picture). I just need the one if anyone has one spare. I am located in Germany just FYI.

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.

Great!: Thats what i was planning to do ( I stock up on Halfords paints when i go back across the channel). Thanks for that!

I am restoring a vintage wild one at the moment and have a plan for a colour scheme that whilst not clashing with the red cage wouldnt look the best. I was wondering how some people have painted them in a robust manner that they survive some light use. My restos tend to end up ans fully functioning shelfers. Other question (Is open ended and i suspect a can of worms) should i paint them or not? Its not the rarest of vehicles and with the re-re these cage parts are fairly commonplace now.
