NOT FOR SALE please close tamiya celica first ta01 58096 New in box
gt4baby replied to gt4baby's topic in Trade Archive
Yes buddy i had it listed and i will not list it again. Unfortunately via ebay i list it higher as ebay and paypal cuts off about 50 euro, so i prefer selling it over a forum or a facebook group so the buyer pays a lower price and i get the same amount not for sale anymore. Close this post please. Thank you -

I can see your point, but even watching prices of used celicas around the 100-150 euro mark, even the ta02, tl01 etc, i believe 300 euro for a new one that one gets to build from the start is only fair seeing tamico.de selling the ta02 at 399,99 excluding shipping costs(box in great condition) i have mine at 365 delivered to anywhere in the world. And i have spoken with tamico to buy their kits but they dont negotiate their prices still, finding them in any condition used or new is hard to find nowadays, so prices can only go up regarding these. I mean look at used kyosho optimas, tamiya hilux, and others. Basically if someone buys one celica at 80 excluding delivery as a runner, and needs to get other parts the cost will get higher. But getting this at this price, he can choose to keep it in box or build it and keep it as a shelf queen. Its the intention of what the buyer wants to do with it. -

Best optional color for a Hornet.
gt4baby replied to mongoose1983's topic in Vintage Tamiya Discussion
Yeah, unfortunately there isnt any live changing of the color, but i guarantee you that the guy who does it, will respond your email and send you a preview after each correction. With him, probably, had more than 50 emails (come and go) until we finalized the corrections etc. He was sending me the stickers sheet with the changes each time. He is responsive and cooperative. I ended up ordering 4 sheets from him, even though i used just the one and the price was good too -

Hey buddy, just roll this page up, and find my post of my hornet. (the silver one). The stickers are from MCI Racing. I chose the colors and also requested reverse printing, which let me put the stickers inside the body prior painting it Just wanted you to see another example from MCI. great stuff. -

gt4baby replied to Hibernaculum's topic in Vintage Tamiya Discussion
Hey all. My favorite is the buggy called MONSTER by ISHIPLA. This was released in 86' and it is the first and only rc car from this company. The company was creating only rc helicopters and parts so i guess it can be considered rare I painted the body, put stickers on it but it never touched ground. Its still new on the stand, and i think i will keep it that way -

@KEV THE REV hello buddy and thanks for the response. I checked every gear etc and everything was alright. I also used a new gearbox assembly. About the graphite grease, i contacted a friend of mine who has an rc shop and confirmed that it is okay to use it in the tamiya plastic gears. About the rear wheels , 1st) i though about the plastic adapters which bolt onto the axle pin, and as i read somewhere about the power loss when the adaptor is spinning inside the wheel. I did noticed that they are a bit tricky to lock into the wheel. 2nd) i thought about the tires, cause it didnt have maintenance after 30 or so years from my friend, so after checking them i saw the would spin. So i glued them on. Also by the fellow members that also kindly responded to my issue, i took off the grub screw from the pinion and placed it again securely on the flat surface. Now the good news :))) MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. There is some zzz but i noticed that was from the savox servo i have in it and its metal gears. BUT, i took it for a spin now, and guys, all i can say that the power is doubled from the run i had two nights ago with the issue, and is now running smoothly without any issues. Now the only problem is i cant control it hehe and it drifts i use a 2s lipo with the sports tuned and the hobbywing 1060 esc. This is from minutes ago So basically, the issue is fixed. Now what fixed it i suppose could be the unglued tires or the pinion gear, as these were the only changes i made, plus i carefully locked the rear adaptors inside the wheels, as are a bit tricky to lock. So, i would like to thank you personally to each one of you, who took the time to read my post, and had the patience to reply Thanks again guys.

@WillyChang Thanks for your response buddy. About the spacer, do you mean the BD3? everything in the manual was included when i disassembled the gearbox, nothing seemed to have a problem or missing, even this spacer. about the diff gear which holds the 3 bevels, i didnt pay attention to it, i mean i just hypothesized, that in any way it goes in, should be okay. So i dont know if this is the issue. Eitherway, when i installed it i check it while turning the one axle, before attaching the whole gearbox assembly, and even when i assembled it it looked okay and everything was spinning okay. If i hold the rc car on the air, it spins okay and sounds okay. But when its on the road it seems like slipping. I glued the rear wheels and i will check again today and let you know if these were the issues. Thanks for your kind response
