Something weird is going on with the slipper. It doesn't even come up as available for purchase at Tamiya USA. The slipper I ordered is still on backorder at Tower too.
Yeah, it completely disappeared from the site yesterday! Showed back up today though. Not going to start anything until I can get that slipper. But who am I kidding. I have too many unfinished projects as is so no doubt I won’t start right away anyway.

Anybody that ordered the slipper from a US source get any updates yet? My universals, servo mounts, and diff screws shipped from Tower 12/3 and are almost here (new record, 6 days and counting Illinois to Ohio which for those that don’t know is about six hours one way drive, i could have walked it quicker).
Nothing on the slipper yet though.

Just checked, not in stock anymore.
Well heck! I guess they only has a single one in stock! I came right from there to make my post. Sorry if i got anybody's hopes up.

Just noticed these are in stock at Amain for those that want one now.

Got the call from my LHS that my Blockhead is there. Pleasantly surprised as normally with back orders I get a call to confirm I am still interested.

Did you receive it yet? FedEx changed mine from today before 8pm, to by 8 pm, to “end of day”, now I presume tomorrow? Same as you, it’s less than ten miles from my house.
Sure did! Funny thing was, i came home Monday and there it was. Apparently they had no desire to make me wait another day. Still waiting on hop-ups, slipper at least, before i even consider getting started.

Juggernaut for me. Followed closely by Hilux, which is followed closely by the King Cab.

Tower shipped mine out on Friday. FedEx has it about 10 miles from my house. First said they would deliver it yesterday, then today, just checked the website and it is now saying Tuesday! Will see if it shows up then I guess. Still waiting on Hop-ups so no rush on my end.

A big green block last week
Funny, I have the TRX4 in the deep Silver and the SCX6 in silver! SCX6 still in the box though. No time for it yet.

Not really sure what is going on at Tower. Kit now showing backorder but also showing November delivery too. I guess it all means it will be here before end of year. Just when, who knows!

Absolutely awful news. For years I have admired his work and his excellent collection of cars. A huge loss to the RC community. RIP.
-
Hop-ups (cvds, servo mounts, diff screw) appear to be in stock at TamiyaUSA. I’ve still got my back orders at Tower or I would be piecing an order together.
-
What’s everybody think of the fact that they only use 2 screws to retain the rear tower? Noticed that the other day while browsing the manual.
-
So considering letting go of my Arrma Felony. Had it since release, never been opened so thinking I probably never will open it and should maybe just move it along. Problem is, the box is gigantic so shipping is prohibitive to just about anywhere and even in the US it’s pretty outrageous (like $100 or more to west coast from Ohio). Would there be any interest at say $550 + shipping, payment via PayPal? I’d still need to figure out a box, etc but let me know if you may be interested.
-
Does anyone understand the screw and nut that get installed in the rear gearbox lid?

Wait for the SCX6 to sell out, then sell it for more than you paid for it. Not so dumb now, is it?
The TD 2/4 isn't going anywhere, Tamiya seems invested in this chassis for the long term. I feel more models based on it are on the way. In the mean time, enjoy your new
tractorrock crawler.I don’t know I could ever sell the SCX6, shipping would be outrageous!! I drive a Forester and the box barely fit in the hatchback! It’s really impressive and I haven’t even opened the box yet. Really looking forward to riding it around like on the Berm Peak Express review lol.
-
Super bummed about further delay not gonna lie, but it’s the way of the world these days I guess. Seriously considering cancelling my preorder as I’m dumb and ordered an SCX6 which was really more than I should have spent even though I got it for a good price. I guess I can wait a little longer to make the decision on the preorder.
-
RPP was willing to order me a few things direct from Tamiya that weren’t on the site. Not sure about their privacy policy but ultimately I believe they just invoiced me directly through PayPal. My LHS may be able to order it from Tamiya too, you’d just have to come pick it up in Columbus.

That the old one is far cooler or that here are two vehicles with the same name that share little in common aside from drive layout? While I admit the old was is beautiful, one could argue that the newer Foxbody Mustang actually wound up transcending the Mustang name. The Fox "5-oh" Mustang had/has an entire following that may or not be into the entire Mustang lineage. In many ways, it brought the US hot-rodder out of the days of carburation and into the world of computer controller fuel injection. The Fox was a bridge between two eras introducing new lighter weight construction techniques, computer engine control and 5-speed overdrive transmissions while retaining the basic Windsor V8 architecture underneath and eventually a tough 8.8 rear end out back. Along with the '32 Ford, 55 Chevy and '69 Camaro, its one of the pivotal cars in the US hot rod movement.
5.Slow as I used to hear it called around here. Name always made me laugh.

Tamiya plugs also corrode badly when not used for a while - one of the pins will go green.
My replacement plug of choice is PowerPoles - they're a bit chunky but the big plus is you can fit them without soldering.
Love my PowerPoles! Essentially gone from the hobby market but they are so easy to use that I can’t bring myself to convert to anything else.

Now showing November at Tower Hobbies. Not too upset since it looks like the official release of the hop-ups is also November.
-
Has the manual been posted yet? Really interested in flipping through it but I can’t find it anywhere.
-
Paint this puppy white and call it the Neo Striker with those side pods! Seriously though, side shot looks good. Interested to see more details.

I was going to pass on this as I have a 40th that I still haven’t opened. Then I saw the box. And here I am trying to buy less ☹️
