Hello. Okay as many of you are aware or have seen, i had my new in box celica 58096 for sale. I had been offered a nice amount of money for it, from a local guy, but i decided that money will not do much difference, and that the time i will spend to build and run this car and the fun will worth more to me. So after 20+ years, sitting on shelves, i decided to keep it and build it myself. Next upgrades, will be the original tamiya ceramic bearings, the dynatech O2H motor and the rally cockpit for the interior. The car will stay original so i will only use tamiya and other parts and hop ups that were officially released for this car at the time. So..to be continued..

@Backlash thank you very much for the extensive response. You have been very helpful and covered all the issues. i believe that everything is okay with the build now after i have read your response carefully Thank you again for everything

Okay i have read this one: so i guess this answers me the question number 3 and everything seems to be as they should now if anyone could tell me why the balle bearings can go into the uprights easily and can be taken off as easily as moving the rc to an angle, and not being stuck tight as in other cars like the hornet?

Hello. Been years since i had a tamiya ta02 castrol celica, and today i started building my new in box tamiya ta01 celica 58096. I have a few questions. 1) is there a difference if you put the large plastic bearings 1150 in any of their sides? 2) plastic bearings 1150 that i installed in the uprights seem to fall easily, and not tight as in other cars like the hornet. Is that normal? 3) everything followed from the manual, when i turn the wheels by hand they stop when i let them go, they dont continue spinning like in my hornet. Is that the 4wd difference here? thats all. Thanks

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 -
