Mazda 787B Group C 2025 Re-Release
middleagedgrup replied to zuqbu's topic in Re-Release Discussions
Some nice info can be found via the below link on Mazda's own website, including a more detailed overview of that engine... 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF LE MANS VICTORY COMMEMORATIVE SITE And, of course, Evo never fails to deliver: Evo article -
Hey @RennsportEd have you seen this? https://tamiyablog.com/2025/01/new-tamiya-1-24-car-models-at-nuremberg-toy-fair-2025/ Conscious it's a 1/24 static, but is at least a new 962C from Tamiya!

Update: looks like both of my UK pre-orders are going to be fulfilled, which is good news. So if anyone on here missed out on getting one themselves then let me know and I can sort you out. -

So guess what I managed to find in the attic of my parents' house when I was there this Christmas? Turns out it was an XJR-9 and not an XJR-12, but I'm sure you'll forgive me! -

The RCbearings website lists a complete kit as being: 4 of 1150, 2 of 1260 and 3 of 1280. According to Eurorc website, Tamiya 1150 bearings are 5x11x4mm Fasteddiebearings website says Tamiya 1260 is 6x12x4mm. Eurorc website again has the Tamiya 1280 bearings as being 8x12x3.5mm. So, based on that info, the bearings in your links should equate to Tamiya 1150 and 1280. -

So...when I got notification that my UK pre-orders had been delayed I hopped onto the Amain website and picked up one from them. Didn't want to run the risk of not actually getting one, despite having pre-orders in with two separate UK suppliers. Anyway, my Amain order safely arrived yesterday from the States: And should either / both of my UK pre-orders come good then I'll have one / two spare. Will let folks know if that happens as I'd be delighted to pass both on to a fellow TC member at cost. -

Looking on the bright side, you'll definitely have it in time for Christmas 2025. 51 weeks early, even. -

Yes, but not great news unfortunately. I got an email update on 30 November saying that the container has been delayed at sea and that Hobby Company (Tamiya's UK distributor) do not expect delivery to be with them before 20th December. If so, that would mean that UK sellers may well not be able to dispatch orders until after Christmas. Has anyone else had any update, similar or otherwise? -

You thinking of L&L Models perhaps, @RennsportEd? https://landlmodels.co.uk/products/jaguar-xjr-14-group-c-body-kit-tamiya-yokomo?_pos=1&_sid=647fa568b&_ss=r I know that Needabiggershed is distributing for L&L in Europe but not sure if there's any similar set up for the US. -

Accu are a decent source of hardwear that others on here have recommended to me in the past: https://www.accu.co.uk/search-uk?query=m2.6&page=1 -
Time for a new 1/10 Group C Car by Tamiya
middleagedgrup replied to RennsportEd's topic in General discussions
Oh, there are so many Group C cars that I'd love to see Tamiya make. As many know I'm a bit of a Porsche fan so it goes without saying that I'd be all over the 962, as I would a 936. Naturally the LC2 gets my vote too, not least of all because of the Martini livery, but I'd also rather fancy 1991 Jaguar XJR-14 just for its sheer brutal looks and the fab purple paintjob! I had Porsche 962C Repsol and Jaguar XJR-14 Scalextric cars back in the 90s and it'd be great to recreate them in 1/10 scale! -

I'm guessing it's the elusive Tamiya 50460. I know that L&L do a Group C cockpit also, but they're showing as out of stock at the moment. -

Link to Video The Tamico unboxing video is referenced above, but thought it might help to include it here via Tamiyablog. Read yesterday from TTP that the UK stock is arriving next week. Huzzah! 🥳 -

Tamiya 53901 - TRF Special Damper F103GT OP-901 is the answer. 👍🏻
