  1. MIP is top notch. How did it break? Was it a crash(es)? Wondering if it can't stand up to brushless abuse.....
  2. Nice! Yes, I have the hex already just haven't figured out the wheel/tire combo. One day I will run it for sure or else why put the MIP diff and upgrade it to brushless? I'm more of a wrencher anyways so either way is fine.
  3. Nice to see this thread get bumped up. This looks familiar! I have an all black HS upgraded as well. It's been a shelf queen so I have not yet run it but what are your specs? What tires/wheels did you go with?
  4. 5 hrs left for a great deal! https://www.ebay.com/itm/125200080817
  5. Hey! Yep, you're close. I typically just go to the school playgrounds and muck about on the baseball fields. I also have a TT02 modded up with brushless. I do that in any random parking lot. If you want to really get into racing, you can get to get to Adrenaline Raceway in Winchester. A bit further is The Track in Gaithersburg. On-road, there are a group of people that race in Manassas. Check out Northern VA Radio Control.
  6. Now on the 'bay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/125200080817
  7. Just not going to get to this build so would prefer to ship this off to someone that will or keep for the future. Will include full bearings. $200 shipped and paypaled in the US. I've never shipped abroad but willing to discuss options if the interest is there. PM for interest.
  8. Yes! The above is what I used. This thread was invaluable for my upgrade. Thanks to @ALEXKYRIAK for detailing it.
  9. FWIW this thread helped with my HS upgrade. The shots worked! I documented my progress here (2nd page):
  10. You can re-do it completely like I did...
  11. It doesn't have to be the exact one. You can piece the parts bags together separately. If you correlate each part w/ the hardware needed via the HSII manual you can start to jot down what you need. That's essentially what I did. To be honest, I only used less than 15% of the hardware that I ordered so it was a bit of a waste. But I did add to my parts stash.
  12. Hi there, glad the thread was a help. I think it'll be difficult for me to provide the screw specs. However, what I did was pretty simple. I just used the HSII manual. Since I used 99% stock parts, I knew the screws would work. Even w/ the 3rd party suspension system, the attachment method was similar. After long research, I realized the most of what I needed was in a parts bag set. You can get those on Ebay. Here is what I bought exactly, not very expensive: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-TAMIYA-SUPERSHOT-Screws-Hardware-HOTSHOT-BOOMERANG-SUPER-TP17/132417183557 I did have to dig in a few times into my own stash. If you have a long history w/ Tamiya, your stash may have what you need already. My stash wasn't up to par so I had to supplement w/ the extra parts bags. Let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck!
  13. Thank you very much! Just wondering what else I can do w/ it? LOL!
