  2. Updated list with 2 thundershot kits for sale now
  3. I've just unwrapped my 2005 (for sale) rere tshot and there are no dimples on the rear of the integral mono wing (to attach the ugly separate wing). There are dimples on the prepainted 2022 tshot kit body (I also have for sale)
  4. I have a 2005 thundershot for sale... Regarding TBG tshot bodies, it's great but the nose cone/body clip area is too deep so as shown in my showroom I bought a 3d printed front body mount from a shapeways seller that had extended it so it would fit.
  5. A rz super stock just sold on eBay, one left now on list above

  7. It would have been nice if the squash had oil shocks or at least a set of hopup shocks announced at the same time as launch, after all these years Tamiya has never released a set of 6 for the g601. Tamiya shocks are often costly whereas bearings are cheap.
  8. As per title 2 nib kits up for sale No esc in both Prices Inc UK Shipping Thundershot 2005 rere kit £190 Thundershot 2022 rere kit £SOLD Thunder Dragon 2021 rere £125
  9. I have been intending for the last year to build one of my 2022 tshots to replace my current runner (retire it to the shelf), plus a Saint dragon as well, will scrutinise the arms in more detail when I get around to it
  10. Never heard that before , even after nearly 20 years on the forum, hopefully a fluke accident or at worst a funny batch of arms!?
  11. I'm surprised to hear of the blue D arms splitting!? Especially after the many hours I have run my two thundershots for (first tshot was a 2005 rere for approx 8 years running, second and current tshot runner is an original rebuild using 2005 era blue arms). I don't do a lot of jumping though, in my showroom link above you can see the odd occasion I jumped or tumbled, drive shafts ended up being bent as well but the arms continued to survive..... Mmmmm...... I think maybe try boiling them before use or other recommended methods to maintain their suppleness?? What I have found is the inner hingepin side over a long time tends to bend inwards slightly which allows the arm to move back and forth on the long inner screw pin, so I used shims to stop them until I replaced them
  12. Thundershot arms don't break, they will scuff over time which would be the only reason to change them (you could flip them to give you extra time...) After 100+ hours of running time I have found F tree (front hubs) will crack/break eventually plus the original wheels can split and break. Drive shaft and cups may need changing once over this time period, depending where you run. The triangular wheel adaptors may split and/or crack over time as well For normal running these breakages takes a lot of running to get to the stage of breakages, I achieved this length of time running because at the time my thundershot was my main runner but it isn't anymore and run time is reduced to an hour every two months or less so maintenance just consists of cleaning up the drive shafts and cups, replacing lubrication. For shafts/dog bones you could try painting the centre a bright colour? Although I've never had a lost one on a thundershot. Just checked my showroom, 200+ hours documented.... https://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=122868&id=2692
