Trying to remove myself from the notification on this thread lol

Looks good

Great work!

People have a choice whether to pay high prices or not. It’s what happens with supply abs demand.

Supply and demand. That’s how things work.

Original release of the Avante Black Special. £750 GBP plus shipping.

Sealed NIB. £1100 GBP plus postage.

4 new slick TGX tyres. Repackaged. £100.00 plus PayPal fees. £7 postage insured via special delivery.

I’ve cancelled my orders. Disappointing.

Never had UJ issues with mine.

Finally arrived today

Still nothing yet unfortunately. I’ll give to the end of the week and I’ll chase them

What country are you in? I ordered mine on the 18th Dec, last tracking info 30th Dec. I’m still waiting.

I’m not sure why others are having issues with DF-02 cvd - I had original diffs before and had no issues when I fitted the MIP diffs also didn’t have any issues. Very strange!

Boomerang rere from 2017.

DF-02 cvd I have front and rear works well with both MIP and stock diffs. Not sure why some are having serious issues. 🧐 To confirm my car is a rere

MIP diffs and DF02 cvd - no issues

Works perfectly on my Boomerang rere. Front and rear no issues.

What is the rere hotshot shaft part number? I’ve had the same issue on the rere boomerang with the TT-02 shaft. Wish I saw this thread but like you I followed Juhino thread.

Lol really? Stop complaining and fix the damage you got an over priced VQS. So it s a win win situation. How was the car packaged? Was it damaged on the way to Tamiya or on the return back to you?

Absolutely and sadly it’s now been discontinued. The VQS just isn’t worth the money. Even at £200 I wouldn’t buy one. It’s true pricing should be around £160 maximum.

I dont think anything will change as long as people are blindly buying rere after rere by the dozens, let’s face it we all buy these cars for nostalgic reasons, when you strip back the memories of the childhood they really aren’t anything special. If they want to continue charging a premium at least they should switch and make cars from more durable modern plastics, people need to complain to their local importers make a stand with their wallets. My Cat XLS is made of better plastics... and was cheaper than the price of a VQS, matter of fact last week I saw modelsport selling the Cat XLS with pro transmission cheaper than the VQS.

It’s been discontinued. I had confirmation from someone in the know earlier.

Get the Hobbywing 10BL120 it’s a better esc and can be bought for 35-40.
