Sorry to hear you have had this experience, and like you say not your first rodeo, so novice experience doesn’t factor. I have one of these sitting in the ‘queue’, following with interest. Will need to have a look at the kit to see what my one looks like.

€210 is good for the CB black edition, when you take into account the P&P, Customs and Handling fee.

They don’t include ESC from TTM, so if you need one that’s an extra £15+. Granted TTM included delivery.

I struggle with the body, I have decided (I think) to put the money towards the re re super astute. Which just looks right.

So I sat down this afternoon, as manage to carve a bit of time out to start a build and soon discovered the need for rubber cement, that is not included, yes choice words could be heard from the garage I was informed. Took myself off to the local hardware store and picked up a small tube of UHU all purpose glue for a little over a couple of quid. Thanks for the feedback guys on what you have used, very helpful.

Think my post got punted to the side with talk of haggis (which I do enjoy from our local Scottish butcher).

I am glad I was not alone as IPA to me refers to beer, which has alcohol content so not far off the mark!! When I look at the market place there are a lot of versions that look very similar (isn’t that just the way these days with so many wannabe low quality components etc). For those who have some experience is there a ‘go to’ brand? I have read that there are some units that will go above their preset temp, which is a concern for plastic components. Any guidance would be appreciated. Cheers

Eh… wish I didn’t see this thread! So I have a TD4 NIB waiting for one of those rainy days that never actually comes as there is ‘the priority list’ which doesn’t include building RC cars…. You know where I am coming from! Question is…. Is it worth adding a TD2 to the queue or not.. I can source one for £150 with ESC included. With so much components shared I am not sure if it is worth it? Any owners of both care to share their thoughts or any reviews posted that are worth a watch. Cheers

Fair play to you, that must have taken a few hours! The body is impressive. No stopping Little John now!

Roger that

Been on the fence about a TD2 or 4, mainly due to the body look. However managed to grab a sub £200 new TD4 and saw the post about the bodies and from Tamiya Legends videos on the weekend. Emailed Owen at Revive RC via eBay (prompt response, thanks Owen) and he has just put a small batch on eBay so bought one to complete the car. Thought it was worth a mention should any one be interested in the Revive RC body.

Agree, I do wince when assembling the piston arrangement, no matter how much lube you use, this is a good idea and will give the tool a go! Cheers

I have spoken to Joanne this afternoon, she kindly confirmed she is open for business but is dealing with some challenges at the moment, so guys and girls please bear this in mind.

Hmm, still nothing from them. I have used: info@fusionhobbies.com / online contact form / phone number published on their website & left VM's. Tried this morning and phone just rings out.

Sadly unable to get a response and not heard back from FH team.
