Bump

I did not know that. I guess there will be a whole load of MB-01 variants later this year.

That was a nice kit.

The M-05 is still in production isn't it?

I was on the phone to a model shop when they mentioned it. It wouldn't take much to reproduce the plastic trees as there was only A, B and C trees to begin with. B tree 50736 has continuously been available since the M03 kit production stopped. That only leaves the A and C.

Thanks for posting. If you have a new M-03 version in a bag that would be good. Not looking for just the MSC. 🙂

Have you heard the same?

Thanks for reply 👍

I heard earlier today that from May 2024 that Tamiya M-03 plastic parts are to be reproduced due to popularity. Any truth to it? Thank you in advance.

It's to put on the metal terminals of the switch. Stops rust etc.

Does this have the original box etc. Thank you

Thank you for the above. Still looking for another and the M-03 Instruction Manual.

WANTED: The little tubes of Mechanical Speed Controller Switch Lubricant that comes in the new kit bags. Are they 1g? and WANTED: The M-03 Mechanical Speed Controller Instruction Manual. I'm in the UK. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for that photo. Its a lot clearer now. Kind Regards

I worked out a way around this issue. I used Hotshot C parts 1 & 3 tree 19005164. The mounting hole on the original 1980s Hotshot cage appeared to have had two holes or it was further along. Attached are some photos of how I mounted the heat sink. Hopefully this will help others if they wish to do the same. Kind Regards

Thank you very much. 🙂 I can see straight away the old fixing point had a choice of two screw holes. Where as the new part only has one. Solution: I used another part off one of the trees included in the kit to move along a bit. It looks cool with these heat sinks. You cannot tell I have done this by looking at the model. It looks OEM. I will upload a photo later how I did this . Together with the extra part number I used. If others wish to do the same. Kind Regards

Thank you 😊

I too am fitting Tamiya HP Suspension to my Tamiya Hotshot. I was hoping to see the original fitting instruction manual? I am having an issue where the round heat sinks are getting in the way of the carbon Y piece. Do they need to be moved? Or could some upload a photo of their build on how they got around this issue. It must be a simple fix or something I am doing. Thank you in advance. Kind Regards p.s. sorry didn't mean to thread hijack.

Any chance you could add the instruction manual pages on how to fit the rear dampers? Thank you in advance.
