    FOR SALE - Tamiya WR-01 Double Blaze #58366 Unused.

    in Sales, trades & wanted

    Posted

    For sale is my unused condition Original WR-01 Double Blaze with precut unpainted body shell & decals.

    I bought this as it is last year and it has been wrapped up in bubble wrap and stored in a box ever since.
    I intended to try my first attempt at painting the body and using it. 
    But to be honest, I never had,(and still haven't), had the courage to paint a body.
    Shortly after, I bought a prebuilt WR-01 with a Traxxas Firestone Bigfoot body and a WT-01 used chassis, 
    which I refurbished and use a Blackfoot Xtreme body on.
    So this Double Blaze never saw the light of day.
    I have tried to show everything in the photo's.

    The chassis:-
    The chassis is in mint condition.
    It comes with the MSC with a rubber waterproof cover, both servos,
    stock silver cans, and an unused Hitec Ranger 2 Transmitter & receiver.
    It is all totally original and has never been run.
    PLEASE NOTE THAT NO WHEELS OR TYRES ARE INCLUDED.(I've used them for my Blackfoot)

    The body:-
    The blemish on the roof and the scratch by the post hole I think are actually
    on the protective film which I think is still on there.
    I have had no experience of cutting or painting bodyshells, but that's what it feels like.
    They don't feel like they are embeded in the body and obviously I don't want to try
    and peel off any film to see.
    Unfortunately there is no wing or number holder plates for the the bed. They were not included when I bought it.
    It comes with a complete set of unopened decals. 

    I am in the SO31 area, in Hampshire, UK 
    and viewing and/or collection is more than welcome.

    I would like £150 including MyHermes delivery with insurance (roughly £8), VIA BANK TRANSFER PLEASE.
    (I have only sold once before via paypal, 3 years ago, and had to wait 6 weeks for the money to be transferred into my account).
    Or if you want to collect or arrange your own prefered courier it would be £140.
    I would be willing to post abroad but I would have to get a quote to your country, 
    and you may incur import/custom duties if outside of europe.
    Please message me for more photos or with any questions.

    M-06 Pinion Gear Help Please.

    in General discussions

    Posted

    I have just bought a used M-06 Lowride Pumpkin and I have discovered it has a 19t pinion on the motor, which is obviously wrong. I have checked the other gears and they look undamaged.

    I don't really want the standard Tamiya Aluminium pinion gear but want to stay at 16t. Would this RW pinion be suitable ?

    If not any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Many Thanks for any help.

    That is not a mabuchi. Yokomo made a lot of the Japanese motors sold both under their name and other RC brand names. Label might've fallen off or it could've been a racing handout motor.

    Hard to say what exactly is inside but can is tabbed sealed (no screws, fixed timing) and it's got bushings not ballbearings so it's definitely a "stock" type motor... many stock motors were 27t single but 20t stocks sometimes run too.

     

    Thanks very much for the info. It's a bit frustrating not knowing exactly what turn it is, but it runs really well and I guess that's the most important thing  :)

    Hi. I've just bought a pre-owned TA-02 Toyota Prerunner. I am trying to identify the motor.

    It has no labels on it and "Yokomo Japan" on the black plastic at the end.

    The sales listing said "stock motor" and Tamiya Base list it as a 27T.

    But this thing goes like the clappers. It has a 16T pinion on it.

    I am no expert  but I have six other Tamiya's with stock 27T Mabuchi motors and this doesn't look like them and is way faster.

    Any help would be very welcome .  Thanks :)

    ps. Did you take any steps to slow-down or lock the diffs at all?

    Hi Jenny,  I decided to leave the diffs open. I have two SCX10's and two Wraiths, which I also use for crawling & trailing. Because these are designed for this purpose, they are absolutely great to run, and tackle most challenges without too much trouble.

    But there lies my problem. Although they are so much fun, sometimes it can be too easy. Leaving the diffs open on the Subaru (and my CC01 Pajero), provides me with the challenge that can be lacking with the Axials. I tend to run most of my off road RC's on similar terrain, and use my Tamiya's to try to complete routes I have done with my Axials. This isn't always successful, but it's a lot of fun trying, and keeps things interesting.

    I am currently editing a new video, that I shot yesterday, of Kelly's latest adventure. (The photo is a still taken from the video). I will message you the link when it's done.:D
