Tamiya Manta Ray / Top Force - please help
MICHAELs TopForce17 replied to stewie_family_guy's topic in General discussions
might need a new servo saver if its cracked, also try a longer screw if the saver works it way off. servo could also be striped. great looking hop ups as well , your son and maybe you will enjoy it. -
Paint has always been expensive here ps cans are under 20. For me it’s has been servo’s from overseas the price and the wait time is too much, so I have been buying them from Amazon and arrive in 1 to 3 days.

Paint a boomerang body to match then you can swap between the two. -
I finally got a Clod .
MICHAELs TopForce17 replied to Dakratfink's topic in Monster Trucks, 4x4, Wheelie Rigs and Crawlers
I have used my new build clodbuster a lot last year and never broke the stock anti rotation plastic part. if you want to upgrade go for metal. https://www.rcmart.com/hot-racing-aluminum-gearbox-lock-mount-silver-for-tamiya-clodbuster-cb1012lm-00107383?search=Clod&page=2 -
Are the TRF dampers the only way?
MICHAELs TopForce17 replied to TamiyaD's topic in General discussions
2. Td4 On mine I had the Tamiya buggy big bores 54504,54505. Look up the website plazajapan, have them at a good price. Another option but I haven’t used is Tamiya tt02b df03 alloy dampers. -
last year a dyna storm at 300 canadian from eBay.

Downsizing (and the Perfect Collection)
MICHAELs TopForce17 replied to Pylon80's topic in General discussions
I did have 20 a few years ago but a lot of them were not getting used and taking up space. Then I went thru this building and selling phase. Now I mostly keep my collection to runners. I am at 4 right now. With room for 1 or 2 more in the future. My favorites are buggies and monster trucks. Below is my perfect(ish) collection for me. Super clodbuster gray edition: Always wanted one as a kid. Tried making one from axles a few years ago but gave up and sold the parts. Purchased the gray edition kit and loving it. Upgraded with parts from ukmonsters. Top force: Had a 2017 kit but foolishly sold. Making a new top force evo out of parts. I am still building. Ultra hornet: Kind forum member who let me make one of their designs. Kyosho ultima rere: My fastest buggy currently. Didn’t get a lot of run time last year due to leaky red shocks which are now changed out. Some upgrades are rb7ss shocks, Kyosho turnbuckles, speed gear set, 13.5 brushless motor, factory works shock towers. -

Top Force 2017 (47350) back for another run...
MICHAELs TopForce17 replied to Twinfan's topic in Re-Release Discussions
I foolishly sold my top force a few years ago so I will be getting one…. Yay new top force for me. Already purchased a few goodies like front and rear carbon shock towers, carbon shorty battery holder, alloy steering set and alloy motor mount. Later I may get some different wheels and tires. -
Is a new model(s) right for me?
MICHAELs TopForce17 replied to Saito2's topic in General discussions
yes you need a new kit like a td4, td2, or bbx. have you made the switch to lipo or brushless? if not then a hobbywing 1060 and a tamiya superstock bz or rz should be fun. -
