  1. Glad I built mine up when I did because I had a worry that supply would start drying up. http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=34957
  2. Looked high and low, no sign of the bag or any of those parts. Just ordered another one from Tamiya. https://www.tamiyausa.com/items/radio-control-parts-70/7-digit-spare-parts-71010/rc-cross-joint-bag-58489-9401759
  3. Thank you everyone, very fast and helpful responses. I'll go search again for that bag, and thanks for the tips about the inventory in the back of the manual (hadn't thought to look further in the manual). I'm working on a build with many Avante hop ups and did anodizing for many parts in orange and gold.
  4. If I could ask for some info to point me in the right direction. I'm building a 2011 Avante and although I have a lot of experience with RC10's, the many many bags of screws and small parts for this thing is a bit daunting. And now I'm stuck on some parts that I've searched for in all the bags and can't locate them at all. Can someone point me in the general direction and help me determine if I've lost something (most likely) or if the kit is missing parts (highly unlikely)? I'm on the step (16) on page 10 where you start to assemble the rear swing arms and the universal axles. I can't find the crush washer BJ7 or the universal "cross points" BJ4 parts! I've assembled universal joints before so I'm really screwed if I can't find BJ4. Is there any general rule for how these fasteners are named? I see screw bag B, but does "BJ" mean anything to point in the right direction to find things? It seems like with this build I'm wasting a lot of time looking for the right screw or fastener through countless bags. Thanks, any help or input is much appreciated.
  5. Bumping this with another question. Does anyone know the bearing sizes for the Avante racing steering hop up part set? I have searched on google with lots of different keywords but no luck.
  6. Just found this thread, so impressive! Any updates since its been nearly a year?
  7. Would these metal turnbuckle ends work, and if so any suggestions on turnbuckles? Sorry I am an rc10 guy so I want to make sure I get the right thing since Tamiya uses metric stuff. https://store.rc4wd.com/mobile/product.asp?itemid=628
  8. I agree, although shared more constructively, that I prefer a wicked paint job and great color to complement the car vs a clear body.
  9. Thanks everyone so just to make sure this is the torque splitter and ball diff setup I need? http://www.ebay.com/itm/84257-TAMIYA-Avante-2011-Torque-Splitter-Set-/280836787377?pt=US_Radio_Control_Control_Line&hash=item41632d4cb1 Looking for more jewelry to add to the car, could I use these metal arms in conjunction with the racing steering? Are the stock arms and racing setup arms just plastic? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tamiya-Avante-2011-alloy-Steering-arms-set-/330886009873?pt=US_Radio_Control_Control_Line&hash=item4d0a57d411 Wuld still appreciate input on the titanium turnbuckles as well. Great input on not running the cam lock wheels with the high power motor and esc.
  10. Hi I just bought a 2011 avante kit and I want to accessorize a bit with the build. Are there titanium turnbuckle kits out there or do you just buy individual pieces by length from a place like Lunsford? Also to get to Black Special spec mechanically do I just need the racing steering setup and the torque splitter and ball diff package I see sold on eBay now? Other than that I plan to use the titanium screws and aluminum wheels and front and rear aluminum hubs. Any other suggestions? I will run it (rarely) so I will install a brushless system, too.
  11. New in package MIP 4x400 kit for the Tamiya SRB. I didn't hesitate to buy this when someone posted the link to this hobby shop's website over on the rc10talk forum I am on. I was thinking I could do an original RC10 shelfer with it but after learning more about what this kit is really for (the Tamiya SRB) and figuring I'd rather have an MIP 4-10 RC10 Legends kit instead, I'm going to sell this and hopefully put the proceeds toward some other things I'd rather have. I don't do ebay so here I am posting it here hoping one of you Tamiya faithful can use it. my payment terms: I do not take PayPal since they are untrustworthy jerks. So if you're international we'll have to figure something out. I will include shipping if you are in the United States in the 48 contiguous states, anywhere else we'll have to calculate shipping separately (SALE PENDING) Asking $550 shipped for it in the 48 US states or I will entertain some trades for things I'm interested in like: Kyosho Blizzard SR plus cash Tamiya Avante Black Special edition Tamiya Avante 2011 re-release plus cash (can be new in box or built in good shape) I have a few more detailed pictures here if you want to look through them. Send me a pm or contact me on rc10talk.com. If you're on that site you can view my buyer/seller feedback.
  12. I decided I couldn't resist any longer and placed a pre-order from Tower with the $75 off coupon. Very excited, but can't decide if I will run it or get a blue 2011 Avante to run...
  13. Need some parts for a Boomerang runner I got on craigslist. The front transmission case where the suspension arms attach cracked on both sides so I need a new housing. But really, with how old the plastic is and brittle I'll probably take what you have laying around. It's just for bashing so no need for perfection. Pm me or email at adw256 at gmail dot com with what you have. Thanks, Adam
