Ah, just checked the manual for orig release, it did come with 53111 parts

Good spot, I noticed the collars but didn’t realised the springs were not gold. There is also a spring retainer just under the collars, perhaps this kit will come with 53111 Damper Spring Spacer Set

Just need to get in contact with Joanne at Fusion, could come in at 360 with TamiyaClub discount!

A possibility at this price though https://www.jadlamracingmodels.com/tamiya-rc-47470-top-force-evo-1-10-rc-assembly-kit/?_ke=eyJrbF9jb21wYW55X2lkIjogIlduN2J2dyIsICJrbF9lbWFpbCI6ICJyaWRheUBidGludGVybmV0LmNvbSJ9

Mmm, don’t think so at that price https://www.jadlamracingmodels.com/tamiya-rc-58690-landfreeder-quadtrack-tt-02ft-1-10-rc-assembly-kit/?_ke=eyJrbF9jb21wYW55X2lkIjogIlduN2J2dyIsICJrbF9lbWFpbCI6ICJyaWRheUBidGludGVybmV0LmNvbSJ9

I think that the wheel arches are precut, I am sure it says so on the little label bottom left of the box

Ebay refunded my buyer direct, so neither of us are financially out of pocket, just not happy that this model has now disappeared. I will also be keeping an eye on eBay for this cat, it is quite distinctive in how it ha been put together with an original Speedo etc. i had hoped GSP would help me and any overseas buyers to have a good experience, but I am considering pulling my other/future items from GSP.

I had the same thing with a rere Hotshot dressed as a Super Shot only a week or so ago. Sold it on eBay to a nice chap in Australia using GSP, and I got the following a few days after it arrived at the UK GSP shipping centre ‘The item in question has been classified as restricted. This could be due to import/delivery restrictions or eligibility requirements within the Global Shipping Programme. The item will not be sent on to its final destination and will not be returned to you.’ Go figure. Was just a rolling chassis, no batteries or anything. Buyer was not happy, neither was I

Looks like parts from a three speed kit, possibly one of the Highlifts if not it will be one of the Tractor Truck series.

Now showing as 369 for preorder - still too expensive 😞

https://www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?search=1&search_string=Optima suggestion is end March, but £399.99 is pretty steep

Check out the latest Tamico offer, valid til end Sunday I think. Even with postage to UK still prob cheaper than a uk sourced kit. https://tamico.de/navi.php?a=9759&lang=eng

One set of those rere vanquish wheels are not shiny white anymore! I love ‘cooking’ with rit dye
