T-F rear diff should be the same as the 53070 Manta Ray set. Might have some spares around. Are you in the UK ?

Just checked it again and all is fine ! Very strange...

Anyone else having issues with the way the TC website is displaying in the MS Edge browser ? Started plating up a couple of days ago but displays perfectly OK in IE11 or Chrome. May be something to do with the latest Windows 10 updates. A couple of other forums I use have the same issues with displaying incorrectly.

Might have an ARA-227 around somewhere but would need to have a look. Found an ARB-227 & ARC-227 today - any good to you ?

Can send you a pdf is you PM me your e-mail address.

If it was the set which sold for £30 on BIN I think you got a bargain !

Fairly rare - none on ebay right now but 2 completed recently. Are you looking for some ? May possibly have a set but would need to have a look.

Agree, not cheap but incredibly satisfying...go on, you know you want one...

3-axle trucks have longer chassis rails, rear axle is the same as a 2-axle but the middle axle is different as the drive goes through it to the rear axle. I'm sure someone else asked a while back about converting a 2-axle truck into a 3-axle truck and the cost of the parts needed for the conversion almost came out to the cost of another truck ! Just buy a 3-axle truck if that is what you want...you will end up buying more anyway.

Getting into the 1/14 trucks is a bug...1 is never enough.

If you go to the Tamiya USA website the re-re manual is available to download and the pics for trimming the shell look the same as in the vintage manual.

Are you sure you have trimmed the shell correctly ? Just had a look in my vintage SA build manual and it would appear there is some more trimming to be done.

Don't know a great deal about having a YT channel but it might be a good idea to have a separate ID for posting comments so they are not traceable back to your own channel ? A lot of YT clips are mirrored on channels with similar interests - can you get someone else to host your videos ?

Probably the flat earthers you have upset - they have 'friends' in high places.

Strongly suggest you assemble as per the build manual to avoid problems later on.
