Agreed, and we’ve also seen a spate, in particular over the last year or so, of scammers joining, zero or small numbers of posts, responding to wanted item posts via DM, offering items, asking you to email direct, and generally being a complete nuisance. I’ve been on here almost 20 years, and scammers seem to have only been turning up in the last few years, in my experience. So no offence is intended by TC members calling similar behaviours out as we’ve become somewhat sensitive to the issue in what has historically been a very constructive, high trust forum with a great, friendly membership.

A couple of arrivals this week, a vintage Castrol Civic bodyset for a FF01 project, and a TG10 Pro chassis kit which I’ve just listed in my showroom https://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=140187&id=16836, mainly bought for the silver dampers which I want for another project, after I’ve built it (with an OS Max LD15-X). I do like old stuff!

Are you looking for a new kit, new build, used..? I have most of these kits, but will build before selling, like this one- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166593989167?itmmeta=01HPKMT3MPNC8YRZ6C53ME570S&hash=item26c9c68a2f:g:kZMAAOSwAk1lrQBB&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4AYJ45XTQkdy0H6xaE9rsEENN1u9N2TQxnKeYdbYcP%2FWL7UuLY8EiVoPd%2BN2i8Z%2FijhgoaFdVh%2FsowFsqxGxC5fo4nJiUArz9UQ0qrSpj3aQV9%2F%2F%2FNV2%2BBL%2F2rBFKUUOI9zZoit9F6V6hu2gKC9ifOin2faHMgHQ7242y7QN9xmeayEsBxFCoRj4epM4d3E9RmBxdb9dWexrV25%2FSJOLQj4cVi95UwF6YmmgCmN57U4aZtUGZuhhrMMu5z0MA22tEUTHDQysZJK%2BbEShQ6aDeU5SkOzmjY0ueSs49cwifxlw|tkp%3ABk9SR7q66PS0Yw

Hi Has anyone got a single spare blue stabiliser bar from the 53276 set that they’d be prepared to sell? PM me if you have one in good/like new condition. Thanks all 👍

Ideal, will pm you.

Hi Im hoping one of you, ideally in the uk, could help me out with two of these longer type countersunk screws, which should be black, Philips rather than hex head. It’s for a F103 project where thought I just needed the 32mm ones I already have, but have now realised two need to be 35mm. Thanks 👍

Just stumbled upon this today, but both of these sets of springs had become increasingly hard to come by, seemingly discontinued a few years ago. However, they seem to be making a return, but in what looks to be all black colour (rather than the original red, yellow and blue sets) with some tiny coloured markings at the base of each spring to denote soft (red), medium (yellow) and hard (blue). You can see this in the image on Tamiya’s website for the 53163.

@svenb how did that upper F103 Carbon Graphite deck (53147) look after you’d peeled off the lacquer - I’m after one of these, but as just about every image I’ve seen of this part seems to show lifting of what looks like either a covering film or lacquer around the screw holes, I’m expecting to have to do as you have done and remove it, so wanted to check it turned out looking good, and that it came away quite easily…

Not to worry, these things come up reasonably often and I have a set which I have in my watch list on Jauce where the auction ended without bids (before I’d decided to opt for the blue route), so should get relisted at some point 👍. I’ve plenty of time to find some anyway given the speed at which I’m getting through my other projects!

They won’t stay split, I tend to build things, then either sell them (or put them back to stock look if I’ve made some changes, before selling),, then re-use the kept parts elsewhere. The 49037’s were originally bought to go on another FF01 ‘TRF’ style build I have planned, like this one but with blue accents (still need to find a blue heat sink mind), and some other aftermarket parts https://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=139636&id=16836

Yes, 4 needed. One possible option which I’ll have to check tomorrow in my loft is whether the TGX TRF I have has Silver bodied 53280’s, like my old TG10 Pro pic above, as the outside images on the box seems to suggest that’s the case. I could then pair with the caps from the 49037’s I have and in effect get a set if 49099’s. My idea is to use an incomplete TA03R-TRF chassis kit which is missing bag c (dampers and other parts), to do the four one after the other TA03 builds I’ve planned to do - R, R-S, F (David Jun) and F-S - but all with some (but not too many. blue accents as I never liked the gold of the R and the (in my view) colour madness on the R-S TRF. So blue damper caps, blue king pins, 53310 part blue front universals, blue rear dog bones, blue motor mount and servo stays.
