Completeley agreed -- I am quite happy with their Dyna Storm parts. Search "Custom RC Parts" on Facebook -- they're out of Serbia. Unless Tamiya re-re-releases the Dyna Storm I doubt the plastic parts can be found for reasonable money.

Thanks for checking! If you do have them, maybe we can work something out? Feel free to PM Incidentally. for anyone else who may think this looks a lot like the TC-01 plastic A5 piece, it seems they're quite close -- my calipers measure it at just over 20mm, so probably good enough for cross-compatibility with the TA06.

I'm hoping someone who owns a TA06 could do me a favour and measure the length of the front damper spacer used when the car is in IFS configuration. This is the spacer that slips over the damper piston rod (part N13). I'm trying to avoid buying an N-parts tree when I can likely find an inexpensive alternative -- especially as the (kinda silly ) hop-up option is no longer seems available. Much appreciated!

My wallet is primed and ready

Became a full subscriber a little while ago. I'm looking to access tcPhotos, but don't seem to have an account. Have I missed a how-to, or any advice on how to start uploading? Thanks.

Great news! Now I definitely have a 2024 release to look forward to!

Please do!! I would be in for a couple. DB02 bodies are impossible to find and I’ve yet to discover another body that fits the chassis.

@jonboy1 — exactly what I was looking for. Really appreciate you taking the time to send it over!

What are these for and who makes them? Don't mind the look of them!

Does anyone happen to have a scan/copy of the instructions that came with 84391? This is the optional one-piece pulley for the DB01. I can't see to find a copy online anywhere. Thanks!

Agreed with this. Silver cans on 3S LiPo is the cheap, easy way to get a faster Clod.

For what it's worth, in my experience this is one of the more rare JG hop-ups. I bought one in a JG parts lot about 5 years ago, and the differences from yours are superficial: The packaging is the same, but not marked as "prototype" The pack contains a small "JG" sticker I will eventually get around to fitting it, so maybe at that point yours will be the only remaining NIP!

Perfect -- exactly what I was looking for. Thank you kindly!

Thanks for the detailed response -- really helpful. I'm actually having a bit of a facepalm moment, as I had completely overlooked the unsprung weight issue (even worse as there's a stock Clod across the room looking right at me ): With your overall advice in mind, I'll probably just opt to run the stock plastics on on 2.2 tires on 2s with a sensorless HW 3652 (3300kV) I already have. I don't think it'll be flexing that motor very much, as it will probably have a relatively sedate life trundling around the garden with the kids (small/scale jumps at most). Thanks for the tip on the ring/pinion gears -- somehow I had assumed it was the bevel gears that would fail. I have a hardened stock ratio set in my metal axles (although cheaper Boom Racing parts if I remember correctly), so I might just swap them into the SMT10 housings. If they go bad I'll just pick up the Axial/Vanquish parts on the next go around. Another question if you don't mind -- regarding locking the transmission, are you running a slipper eliminator, or just cranking down the existing slipper very tightly?

I have an SMT10 incoming, as the most recent sale in the US brought them down to just $110 (and approximately £120 with shipping to the UK!)... Well, hopefully incoming, provided I don't have the same export/import dramas as @Mad Ax's LMT given I also ordered from Amain! I have been thinking about adding "beef tubes" into the axles to help with reliability, but I also have some full metal axle housings from a stalled crawler project that I could use. Given some of the drivetrain weaknesses with the SMT10, is this a bad idea to add a bunch of extra weight in the form of metal housings? Anyone have thoughts/experience on this (maybe @87lc2)? Really appreciate any thoughts.
