Hopefully they will produce more than they did of the Terra Scorcher. Those were here and gone in no time.
-
Beautiful! What chassis plate is that?
-
Frustration. Went over to a friend's house and brought my TRX4 to run with the Enduro Sendero I gave him recently in a trade for a treadmill. Steering servo went out in the TRX4 no less than 30 seconds into the run.

KYOSHO Outlaw Rampage 34361T1 - anyone else?
tamiya3speed replied to Mirrorman's topic in General discussions
I need to start avoiding this thread. Now i have a list, trying not to call the lhs and put in the order, lol. -
Free shipping @ $50. Might as well throw some other stuff in the cart! Or is that just me lol!
-
Try to isolate the side that starts stationary. Double check hubs, driveshafts, wheel attachment for any signs of binding or interference. Check diff for grittiness, seems like something is binding though. If you pull the pinion you should be able to spin everything more freely.

Dampers look to be off the Kyosho rere buggies.
-
Xuron flush cutters. No more cleaning up parts after trimming off the sprues. I never realized how much I needed them until I had them.
-
Hopefully so. They had the Novafox marked as discontinued too and it is back. Not sure their rhyme or reason on marking stuff discontinued but it's certainly frustrating at times.
-
Did some maintenance on my Novafox. Somehow it had lost all 4 screws from the lower left ball plate at once. Replaced all of those, plus a bent steering rod. Still need to swap out the upper chassis due to a cracked body mount but may just get velcro to preserve my spares stockpile.

Re-release schedule/predictions post lockdown?
tamiya3speed replied to Newsh's topic in Re-Release Discussions
I'm having a lot of trouble with some of the new rereleases. I was able to back order the VQS but I reached out about a Novafox and Horizon is saying that it's discontinued. Meanwhile Tamiyausa has them in stock with zero phone support and my LHS is reluctant to use email to communicate (he is pretty old school). There are no real options for me except direct to Tamiyausa which is full MSRP. I'm going to have to push my LHS, but it's a total pain to need to do it just to spend money. -
Nice! Just put my first Covid order in fro RC Mart. Good to know it's moving a bit. Have seen significant slowness coming from Europe still.

What’s your favourite RC video?
tamiya3speed replied to Grumpy pants's topic in General discussions
Matteo just about anything with Tamiya in it. Honorable mention to his brushless Monster Beetle and most of the CC-01 work. This may be my favorite though: https://youtu.be/aE7inhKjrwY -
Re-release schedule/predictions post lockdown?
tamiya3speed replied to Newsh's topic in Re-Release Discussions
I stupidly sold two that I had and they dried up before I realized I really shouldn't have. Fingers crossed for another run at some point soon! -
Not that it was probably help in any way, but see if you can call the usps, provide the tracking number, and inquire as to the delay. Maybe they'll see you are watching and push it along. Snowballs chance in you know where, but the delay is all them and not TBG.

+2 I know lots of folks hate Traxxas but the Stampede would be my choice.

Tamiya Mountain Rider vs Bruiser Re-re?
tamiya3speed replied to Gawdzis71's topic in Re-Release Discussions
Both manuals report the part number as 9225139. I will note that the Mountain Rider manual shows the tree as including the back glass for the cab where the Bruiser does not (back glass isn't necessary for the Bruiser with the sleeper can attached). I haven't opened my Bruiser so I'm sorry but I can't tell you if the back glass is included in the Bruiser kit or not. -
KYOSHO Ultima Full Option with Joel Johnson
tamiya3speed replied to legacygt777's topic in Re-Release Discussions
Love the video and love what Kyosho is doing with the Legendary Series. Updated perfectly so they can be run relatively hard but still feel nostalgic. The Scorpion was my first Kyosho product and I was left so impressed that I have added a Turbo Scorpion, Ultima, Optima, Turbo Optima and Javelin. Soon to add a Fantom to the mix. If you don't have one and like vintage cars (who doesn't here!), put any one of them at the top of the list as they do not disappoint! -
VQS (2020) in Tamiya's pipeline.
tamiya3speed replied to Mokei Kagaku's topic in Re-Release Discussions
I don't disagree but what I understand is that especially in Asian markets the kits aren't shrink wrapped. At least at one time they weren't. On another note, I have ordered 2. Yes they are overpriced, but I have an Avante, Avante Black, and Egress. This brings me one step closer to having the collection. -
Lol, yes, a little late to the show! I've got one since release. Was a great build, quality is really good. Sadly, I still haven't run the thing yet so I don't know how it runs just yet!

Monster Beetle / ORV Metal Swing Arms
tamiya3speed replied to ChrisRx718's topic in General discussions
I always wanted a set of the 50calibercustons sets and would love a set of these to go with my Full Option ORV gearbox. But at $250 I'm not sure I can justify the cost. Now on the weekend after some drinks.... -
Cracking deal indeed! I'm in Ohio. For reference, box will be about 20x10x10. And I'd say 8 lbs or so. Still working on getting it packed so don't have exact yet.
