FS: Tamiya Racing Fighter "Chrome" Edition
howaboutme replied to howaboutme's topic in Sales, trades & wanted
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. -

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.

Yes! The above is what I used. This thread was invaluable for my upgrade. Thanks to @ALEXKYRIAK for detailing it.

FWIW this thread helped with my HS upgrade. The shots worked! I documented my progress here (2nd page):

You can re-do it completely like I did...

Hotshot Suspension Upgrade Options
howaboutme replied to howaboutme's topic in Vintage Tamiya Discussion
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. -
Hotshot Suspension Upgrade Options
howaboutme replied to howaboutme's topic in Vintage Tamiya Discussion
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! -
