It certainly did when my account was deleted about 6 years ago, all my posts from 2006 when I joined until account deletion gone for good from the forum, and no recovery possible.

Bump

Anyone have a set of these, either new or been fitted to a model, but unmarked and complete with the suspension rods and cups that come with these sets? Doesn’t need to include all 3 mounts, as long as there’s two of what’s needed! PM me if you can help. I’m in the UK Thanks 👍

Yes, this is the same as what I found when I fitted the standard kit supplied propeller shaft on my TRF kit built a few weeks ago. Conversely the hop up reinforced prop shaft was a much better fit. Presume you mean the G part which has a profile matching the 3 notches on the inside of the brake disc, as per image from a manual - yes the fit should not be stiff, but again going back to the TRF just built, and same with other nitro kits I’ve built, the brake disc will seem slightly loose on the G part.

I’ve just had this land in my inbox; someone who joined within the last 24 hours, zero content, and type of message which we’ve seen before from scammers. Anyone else getting this message, or is this a legit member 🤔

A follow up on the parts that hold the propeller shaft in place - I do have a TG10R kit somewhere, and looking just at the manual online, it looks like the parts are the same. If that is the case, then that’s much better as parts number 50909 is more readily available (three listings I can see on eBay) relatively inexpensive, and has both bits you’d need on the one parts tree. If. Get a chance I’ll see if I can dig out my TG10R kit and compare.

@Siclick33, I've done some comparisons between a TGX-TRF I've just built and the parts from a TG10 Pro chassis kit which I have new in box. Here's some info for you: The upright parts appear to be the same. I measured the ones on my built TGX using digital callipers and they were 40mm in height, and 21 mm screw centres, and this matched the ones on the TG10 parts tree. They look the same as well. Correct, though whether people have found alternative fixes I don't know. The parts for the TG10 look to be the same as for the TGX, which would make sense as they 'click' into the uprights mentioned above, so if the uprights are the same, it would make sense for the parts that hold the propeller shaft in place also to be the same. Tamiya 50813 would be the TG10 spare part, though you would need two sets as each only has one of the part you need. I can't comment on whether this is also the same part for TGR and TNS as I don't have these. The resident nitro expert @acprc would likely be able to tell you. Answer is no - the TG10 one is a few centimetres shorter than the TGX one, which makes sense given the TGX is 1/8 scale versus the smaller 1/10 of the TG10. This would be the case whether using the standard kit supplied propeller shaft or the hop up ones you mentioned, which are basically significantly more substantial shafts. Hope that helps!

@svenb, thanks again Steve, got them in the post today :-)

Showroom entry is now up with the O.S. Max engine added: https://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?id=16836&cid=140740&t=111202510509 Here they are side by side for comparison purposes - what do you think? O.S. looks the neater installation to me!

Right, an update - I spend a few hours this afternoon swapping out the Tamiya engine, manifold and muffler with the OS Max lay down engine and muffler. Looks great, and a full set of pics coming tomorrow - watch this space!

Thanks for the offer Luke, as you can see this is sorted now, but kind of you to offer to help. It’s the willingness to help each other that is so great about TC, always seems to have been this way and long may it continue 👍

Excellent, thanks Steve, will pm you.

One of these maybe?

Somewhat frustratingly, I don’t quite have all the screws I need in my spares bag to complete a project 😫. I only need 6, two of each type of Tamiya screw shown below. The two different countersunk ones have to be black, and the other one is plain silver. They all have the standard cross head/ Philips screwdriver. Can someone here in the UK help me with these 6 screws? Happy of course to reimburse appropriately 👍

Thanks, it’s been a real pleasure. I’ll probably do another showroom entry with the OS engine set up 👍.
