  1. Opel Kadett C Coupe, this is great news. Not sure about international markets, but within Germany, this will be a huge success.
  2. I hope that they will continue their strategy of classic racing and rallye cars. Especially models that were released as static kits 1/20 and 1/24 many years ago, turn them into 1/10 RC cars. Just like the Fiat 131 - released as 1/20 static kit in 1980, finally released 2023 as a RC model. maybe a Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, already released as 1/24 static kit 24054 maybe a BMW 320 Group 5, static kit 1/24 24002 from 1977 maybe a BMW 635 Group A, 24061 from 1986 maybe a Ford Sierra RS 500, 24080 from 1989 Maybe a re-release of the Volvo 850 on TT-01E or TT-02 chassis.
  3. This should be a complete collection of all 1/10 RC Hyundai models, that Tamiya ever released: 93035 Hyundai Veloster (bodyset) 93043 Hyundai i20 WRC (XB version)
  4. Please learn reading, I did not say that in specific. Anyway, I'm out of the discussion. My time is too precious to discuss on that "level" you set. Have a nice day.
  5. But this is way below regular situation, so this is not relevant. 83€ for a TT-02 kit is either sale or clearance of stock. New released TT-02 kits never start at this level
  6. Regarding regular prices, there was no big difference. Here, regular prices for TT-02 kits were 120€ to 150€, depending on the specific model. Sale prices were somewhat below that, but usually only for a limited period. FF-03 kits were about 130€ to 150€ - as long as they were available. I never paid more than 150€ for a FF-03 kit. Today of course, FF-03 kit prices have increased due to lack of availability.
  7. With "mixture", I didn't mean a technical mixture of parts. Instead, I thought about their position in the line-up regarding prices, and their intended user type.
  8. Yes, I am aware of that chassis kits intended for "pro" racers usually come without body. On the other hand, there were also TT-0X and M-05/06 chassis kits without bodies ;-) Mainly also "pro" kits, but also "first try" versions. To sum this up, restrcited to touring car chassis: TT-01 and TT-02: AWD budget series, intended for beginners, casual drivers maybe there will be a TT-03, if Tamiya continues the 10-year update cycle TA and TB AWD racer series, for more ambitious drivers and "pro" racers, but below TRX-series M-05, M-06, MF-01X: similar to TT-series, but smaller cars, available with FWD, RWD and AWD will possibly be replaced by MB-01 chassis M-07 and M-08: intention similar to TA and TB series won't replace other M-05 and M-06, instead rank a little bit higher than those FF-03 and FF-04: mixture of TT-series and FWD M-series, but seems to be discontinued
  9. Until some years ago, Tamiya had a (imho) clear strategy, regarding chassis types. New develloped chassis replaced their predecessors. But since 4-5 years, I feel a little bit confused. There are new chassis, but they didn't replace their numeric predecessors. Instead, old and new types are sold parallel. TT-series: TT-01 released 2003, as successor of TL-01 TT-01E released 2008 TT-02 released 2013 Today, new kits come either with TT-02 or TT-01E. Wondering if there will ever be a TT-03, and how it will be sorted into the line-up. M-series: M-01 and M-02, were replaced by M-03 and M-04, were replaced by M-05 and M-06. M-07 and M-08 were released some years ago, but there are no complete kits (with bodies). New kits with bodies are still presented with M-05 or M-06. Now, MB-01 is announced, will it replace M-05 and M-06? If no, there will be M05/06 and M07/08 and MB-01 in parallel? FF-series: FF-01 was replaced by the short-living FF-02, was replaced by FF-03. Yes there were some FF-04 chassis kits - long ago, they seem to be rare. Last complete kit with FF-03 was released 2012.
  10. Yes, I know. These separate body sheets are exactly what I am looking for. But I cannot find them anywhere as scans or PDF. Even printed ones are HTF, of course except those who come as part of a complete kit.
  11. Yes I have, as written in my first posting. If you‘re able to find anything from my list there, you“‘ll be my hero.
  12. @Rabbi_kun of course I checked Tamiyabase, but they have none of the listed manuals.
  13. Hello, I am looking for some building instructions, of some rather modern cars. Hi-res scans or PDF would be enough, I do not need the originals. I already checked Tamiya officical download ressources (Japan, USA, Germany). Even using the wayback machine. And I also checked other common Tamiya pdf download ressources. Result: nothing. So, here is the list. I am only searching for the instructions of the body sets: Models based on M-Chassis: 84267 Nissan Silvia S15 (not to be mixed up with 58532 Nissan Silvia S13) 84329 Datsun 280 ZX Custom 92213 Datsun 280 ZX Sports Models based on TL/TT-Chassis: 58251 Lexus GS 400 58408 Suzuki SX4 WRC 58413 Lamborghini Countach LP500S 92200/92201 Toyota Celica GT-Four (I already have the instructions for kit 58129)

  15. Didn‘t find a better a place... admins please move if necessary. German label „Racers Paradise“ released a 1/10 Opel Ascona bodyset (officially licensed by Opel), fitting any common 1/10 rc chassis like TT-01 and TT-02. And just like the new Tamiya Audi Quattro body, it comes with regular-sized wheel arches, it is not a remake of the 1980s Tamiya body. Qualitx is pretty good, they released some other Opel bodies during the last years (e.g. Opel Commodore and Opel Manta MK2). So, it is possible to build a period-correct counterpart rally car alongside to the famous Audi Quattro. In 1982, Walter Röhrl was the last one who managed to win the World Cup Driver‘s championship using a rear-wheel-only-driven car, so the Ascona has it‘s place in Rallye history. (In 1983, Lancia was able to win the constructor‘s title with the Lancia 037, but the driver‘s title was won by 4-wheel-driven car, which has not changed until today). Opel Ascona Bodyset
  16. Most likely, my 1/10 scale Porsche 936. Along with two unused spare bodies.

  19. I made that experience with analog servos, regardless if they were old or new, connected to my Futaba 2.4GHz receivers: During powering up, the servos perform a kind of initializing run, i.e. they rotate to the maximum and then back to neutral position. This is not good if the steering mechanics requires a rotating limitation of less than 100%... I changed to digital servos and the problem was gone, these servos don‘t do anything during/after powering up.
  20. Before today, I've never heard of that brand "Radiopost". But I cannot find any new items - looks as if they are out of business?
  21. Guide plates, could be a job for someone who owns a 3D-printer?
  22. There are only very few "real" stick radios out there. "Real" means that the sticks don't move in all directions. You can choose between: Absima SR2S (recommended) Carson Reflex Stick 3.x Futaba T2HR (recommended) These are rather basic, have no memory to support more than 1 model, and they don't feature individual left/right EPA. Then there is a big gap, as there is no mid-priced stick radio available from any manufacturer. Next option is the Fuatba T4GRS, which supports up to 40 cars and hast lots of features, including individual left/right EPA.
