  1. I sold my collection about 8yrs ago as we were temporarily moving to another country. Now I’m trying to recover my collection, particularly the kits, or bodies that I’m most sentimental towards. Looking for a new F60 body set for my newly acquired F104 VerII Pro Titanium. must be willing to ship to Canada.
  2. This is the last kit on my "holy grail list"..... hoping to find one that isn't 200% over original retail.
  3. I had the same thing from a set of stock TA05 tires that sat in storage for several years. I don't think its release agent because over time they grew progressively whiter and more hazed so it appears to be some type of oxidation of a chemical that was leeching out of the tire compound. Whatever the case, doesn't really matter. The important bit of information is that it is easily cleaned and the tires can be quickly reconditioned as suggested in the above comments. Personally, I put on some rubber gloves and cleaned the tires off with TDK odorless tire traction compound that we use in indoor racing. They look and feel like new again.
  4. Trying to find the 6 spoke gold wheel set that was included in the ARTA NSX TA05 kit Thank you
  5. The plastic bushings included for the front transmission that are 6 (OD) x2 (ID) mm, what is their width? Are they 2.5mm or 2mm wide? I'd like to order some spare ball bearings and I seem to have misplaced my notes......
  6. 1. Hot Shot II 2. Dirt Thrasher 3. Taisan Starcard Porsche 911GT2 4. Super Hornet 5. Mad Bull
  7. 1. I can buy replacement parts. Yes 2. It won’t break immediately as I run it around. Yes 3. Is this an off road buggy? No That body with TT-02 platform is not intended for off road, so it will struggle, if run at all, on grass. It is definitely NOT recommended if off-road capability is a critical characteristic. I don't know about that side of the "pond", but in North America, the best resource of Tamiya parts remains Ebay. The international nature of Tamiya and Ebay makes it far easier to acquire and maintain a healthy inventory of spares. That being said, maybe consider other chassis options, such as the XV-01 or DF-03RA. They better handle off-road, even though accommodating full fendered body options.
  8. I'm having a hard time deciding on a decent direction to take for the motor in my VQS runner. I have at my disposal both brushed and brushless options. I'm leaning towards brushless, so I am wondering what others have done that is suitable for the stock gearing?
