Hi all, need some advice from all with regards to a "missing Bruiser" which i have bought off a fellow member here on TC. i know this might not be the proper thread, so mod, please move it if so, Thanks.... The main issue is, i was looking through the for sale thread on TC and saw a brusier for sale, and its from a well-known member,who has lots of 3-speed, but not the recent Zhang, after a few emails, we agreed on the price, which was 400euro. The seller requested i pay via paypal as gift and i did so..... and the bruiser was sent on the 26-Oct 2010, with a tracking nos given, item was sent from Netherland, to Singapore. Till date, the tracktrace page has only shown the item was sent to the country of destination on 26-Oct and not further update was made after that. I have send lots of emails to the seller on the delay and he has done a report of the delay with the post office but nothing much else has happen after that. is there any other way i can track the item now? The post office made the delivery and should know which couier they send the item to and get them to check, but nothing is happening... could any fellow member here help? thanks a million

@ Model_Build, here's..... Front: 1988 - 64.5mm ~ 2011 - 62mm Rear: 1988 - 83.4mm ~ 2011 - 85.8mm Though there's a small different, its shd still fit.

let me go take and compare that for you on the shocks matter

GB-03 is the 1/16 tamtech hotshot?

Thanks all for the comments here is the 3rd part.... been giving it alot of time on it... enjoy...... Shell, undertray & wing all done in metallic blue(PS-16) with lame flake (PS-53) Completed with decals Together with my original 1988 Avante Spacetech Engineering vs Diablo Engineering

okie, here's part 2 of the build... next is to build the rear arm and again, there is a minor difference... After installation of the rear arm, i noticed some differences too Next, is the installation of the front arm and bumper and without fail, there's the minor differences The Build so far... Front knuckle also has a very minor difference The old steering system of the Avante was also given a minor updates A Peek beside it's BIG BRO Shocks building 80% completed The Body and undertray of the 2011 AVANTE was formed using the original 1988 mould 90% completed..... only need to spray the shell, cockpit and add in the decals,electronics and im ready to run

Finally found some time to build my 2011 Avante.... found some minor differences not mentioned in Tamiya official description between the rere Avante and the original Avante will try to list them as i go along with my build.... And now on to the pics... 1st step of the instruction is to build the rear gearbox and motor, and this is the 1st minor differences The motor plate for the 2011 is different from the original 1988 next up... is the lower and upper deck... which also have some minor differences rear gearbox with motor attached to lower deck Front gearbox attached to the lower deck Installation of rear arm rod (i uses a aftermarket part by Pargu for the E3) The installation of the rear arm rod is also slightly different from the original Installation of upper deck Rear Shock Tower installation Rear Shock Tower attached to upper deck Thats all for now... will post some more pics as i go along... btw... the plastic for the rere seems to be of better plastic material than the original 1 complain i have is some of the screws parts bags are not label... Tamiya onli had label for bag A~F, another 3 bags of screws/misc parts were not label anyway... welcome all comments... thanks

+1 on that, Myles is definately a good seller, told him about a missing decal in my order, and he send it out without any xtra cost, that is definately a plus for any buyer. Btw Myles, cockpit for avante?
