  1. Hi All, I sold my TXT-1 this week after much deliberation, to fund other projects. I forgot that I still have a few bits left, so I have a few auctions on eBay: 17T pinions (2 off, NIP) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=250511743849 TXT-1 clear shell, NIP: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=250511732455 TXT-1 / Juggernaut 2 Gear Bag (5 off, NIP): http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=250511741222 Tamiya Mechanical Speed Controller for TXT-1, Juggernaut 2, Clod, etc: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=250511746350 Thanks, Al
  2. Hi All, Just wanted to let you know I have a few new original Tamiya Hop Up Options parts for the Juggernaut on eBay at the moment: 2 x damper sets, 2 x suspension arm sets, 1 x steering arm set: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=250473743240 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=250473747026 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=250473750273 Thanks, Al
  3. am looking for £400, including the new Dynatech motor. P&P extra. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...ME:B:EF:GB:1123 Thanks for looking.
  4. I just received a Vanquish which I bought from the 'Bay... It's all but brand new, which is great...but one of the rear uprights is split along where the bottom screws locate - so it's useless!! Can anyone help me out with C parts please? Thanks, Al
  5. I have a few projects which I'm working on, and as they're old I want to change the damper oil. I just assumed I'd pick up some Tamiya stuff, but having trouble locating any, and what I have seen come in a pack of various grades within either Soft, Medium or Hard etc. I'm not (yet) into racing so don't anticipate needing too much fine tuning on my runners, so can anyone suggest where to get shock oil? Thanks, Al
  6. Reluctantly and frustratingly, I am putting my newly acquired Egress up for sale :-( Please see details in my showroom, it is in top conditon and includes a new Dynatech 01R. http://tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?i...=05052009224639
  7. I'm in Stirlingshire...
  8. Hi All, I have a Vanquish which I'd like to change around a little. Just wondered if anyone knows if a repro Avante shell would fit on the standard chassis? Thanks, Al
  9. I'm finding the same thing on the TXT-1 I recently picked up from the 'Bay. Mine is currently 2WS. The HiTec 645MG is, in my opinion, a lot slower a servo than I'm used to, but they are a popular choice for these it seems. Check the kit servo savers - on mine there is at least ten degrees of play/give/etc leading to poor centering and extra-sluggish movement. I'm in the process of finding a better alternative saver.
  10. Thanks for that suggestion (yes I'm running a metal geared HiTec 645MG - soon to be two). Does anyone know if these are available in the UK? Al
  11. Well, I got a Kimbrough equivalent (Fastrax) servo saver and fitted it to the TXT-1. I killed it on it's first run in the garden!! All I did was take a paving slab sideways at 1/2 throttle (stock setup, 7.2V) and it popped!! As you can see, the internal plastic component has sheared at the screw. Can anyone suggest a stronger alternative?! The stock Tamiya saver is to the left. It looks substantial enough, just it has way too much slop for my liking and therefore very poor centering. Al
  12. You're good!! I actually want to change all the cable ties (the others are in the correct place) to see if I can get a slightly more secure attachment (granted they need to be able to twist some). I STILL couldn't decide what motor set to buy for the TXT (was up until 2am looking on eBay, Hobbywing, etc...) I'd like to choose the right motor straight off, clearly, but if it's not suitable then I'd like to get use out of it elsewhere. To that end, I was thinking about the 9T motor, but I don't know if that's too much for the TXT. What do you guys think? Definately going for the 60A ESC. I think!! I have a Vanquish which I'd like to make brushless...
  13. 6S LiPo anyone?!! I jest, of course..... But I'm about to pull the trigger on a brushless setup...it's going to be 3S...I just don't know what yet!!
  14. Thanks for that, modelsport were out of stock but model-junction had a similar thing in so took his only one - will need another for the rear servo.....
  15. Hi all, I've just skimmed this thread, so apologies if this is out of place. I've got a Vanquish runner here, which is in pretty good shape. However, I would really like to upgrade to FRP chassis plates, but I'm not clear if this is a possibility using Vanquish parts. Am I was well sticking with the plastic chassis and leaving the car as is? Thanks, Al
