  2. Bit of a random one here - and don't think I'm taking this all too seriously, because I'm really not, I just like preparing things properly I've entered my SRB in this years Iconic Revival, but it looks like I'm the only SRB entry. Since there's a few other Frog entries in the '77 - '83 class, I'm considering swapping my entry to my Frog so I can play with the other Frogs. I can't find much about good, functional mods make to a Frog for racing. Way back in the day I made a new upright front shock mount for my Frog which kinda works, but I need to tune the shocks with softer springs. Other than that, is there anything worth doing? I'm prepared to go totally mental, I haven't run the Frog in stock trim in a very long time and found it to be way too tail-happy with a Super Stock BZ installed. It's a re-re and it suffers the famous issue of the front stub axles popping out. Besides carrying a drawer full of spares, is there a known fix? Any other fragile areas worth taking spares for? I'm guessing spike tyres will be best on astroturf. Not sure what fronts to run. For aesthetic purposes I'd love to run Brat wheels and tyres and a Brat shell (it's actually technically a Brat, but I used the shell for something else and always ran it with Scorcher tyres and Baja body) but I guess the Brat tyres will be wrong for an astro track. Again - don't think I'm taking it seriously, I just want it to be as well-behaved as possible, we tried to run the SRB on astro with the Rough Rider tyres for last year's enduro and it was almost undriveable until we switched to spikes.
  3. I just got another set of HPI #2100 front rims in the mail... These came with the front axle adapters, which are getting harder to find... These will get tossed in the spare wheel bin along with several other white pairs, and several black pairs... One more set of #2100s and I'll have (3) complete white sets and (3) complete black sets... And last week I got (7) NOS Pro-Line 2.2 tires in the mail... Road tires mostly, but it did have the Striker II's I've been looking for forever... Can you ever have too many wheels and tires??? Terry
  4. OK, so I've been using some "yeah racing" aluminum oil dampers on my Bushy D (vintage Bush Devil/Super Blackfoot) with standard Blackfoot front-end suspension... Here's an example pix: http://jpegbay.com/gallery/005068524-1.html#1 I haven't been too happy with the dampers, although they look really shiny... They just don't have the same "mushy-ness" as my neighbors Tra**as big bore dampered truck... So I bought some Tamiya 50520 CVAs for the Bushy D... I'm waiting still for them to arrive, but I wanted to start a discussion about these for my own sake... Mine the Tamiya Club database for nuggets of knowledge... Topic 1: I noticed (from reading instruction manuals online) that the re-re MB CVAs (I assume the BF too) use the solid piston with the solid flat-head (BC8), while the 50520 uses pistons with attachable e-ringed flat-heads with holes (1, 2, or 3)... Anyone have any first hand knowledge on a comparison between the different set-ups??? I'm thinking of using the 3-hole flat-head... Topic 2: I also want to jazz up my car. Are there any other colors that I can get the plastic pieces, other than black, yellow, and white??? Do other color CVA shock plastic pieces exist??? I see there are clear blue 50519 parts (???), are there blue or red pieces??? Are these plastic pieces from other cars that I can use to replace the typical 50520/50519 plastic pieces??? Topic 3: Does anyone have any experience with the 50519s on a Frog??? I think I'll need those for my front-end... AFAIK the piston and reservoir lengths are shorter??? These have a clear blue option, as mentioned above??? Topic 4: Hi-Cap Dampers. How cool are they??? Thanks, Terry
  5. I recently purchased a re released Brat kit minus an ESC and have built it up I think well minus the grease in a few wrong places, but we'll keep mum about that. The front suspension is intriguing me due to the lack of a damper. Myself and Ed back in 2001 bought an original Brat off a boot sale and struggles to keep the chassis together due to the front radius arm mountings. So looking at this 'new and improved' version I have just built I can see the radius arm issue is still around. I've seen a few videos on youmeither and the upright kits and printed parts look great. I wonder though thinking how a car's anti rollbar functions, Tamiya would have junked these two parts and gone for a one piece rollbar assembly clamped inside a tube which could have bolted laterally and screwed into the same holes. I'm gonna see what I can do with some bike spokes. I originally worked in electronics engineering and loved R&D so this is hitting my tinkering spot.

  9. Hello, I'm looking for a decent pair of wheels and tires for a brat. I see I can get them new on fleabay for about $40 shipped. I'm looking for a better deal..... Also looking for a pair of vintage uprights for the brat or frog...those are about $15 on flea bay.. thanks!!
  10. Hey, I'm building a project I've been thinking about for a couple years. Looking for ideas.... Im going the rat rod look due to the original condition of the body. I've already got about 20 hours into the body.... i need colors. I didn't want to go all black. I am thinking a deep red in the sides and black on the top. Also any ideas for the antenna mount. It's currently mouthed to a monster beetle skid plate with a super Blackfoot antenna holder. additionally, I need a vintage MB window to hide all the innards.

  12. Hello, I'm looking for a pair of rear body mounts for the Lancia rally 58040. They appear to be a bigger size than the frog ones because they screw into the battery stay. Does anyone know if that is true? Does anyone have any? thanks!
  13. Just thought I'd pass this along. . . I just bought a scratch and dent Frog from TamiyaUSA for $94 and the listing is still up, so I'm assuming they have more than one if anyone in the US wants a Frog?
  14. While digging through the RC junk pile, I found an old CRP catalog... DL it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8ehh73fs3sjwczq/Team%20CRP%20-%201987%20Catalog.pdf?dl=0 Thanks, Terry

  17. No affliation... Just thought I'd throw it out there... http://r.ebay.com/vYwB6X Good deal on used CRP part... Missing the piece(s) that go inside the tranny case, though... Doing a little more searching on Fleabheyz turned up this: http://r.ebay.com/CczAXp Matches the red chassis of the MB, and is complete. Albeit, it is more expensive... Again, no affiliation... Terry
  18. Hey folks, I want to get either an 1/8 scale buggy or 4WD SCT to race at the local track since the 2WD buggy class is sketchy at best. It's essentially a runner that has been turned into a self queen. The current body has never seen the outdoors. Here's the link to the eBay listing.
  19. I'm looking for any Super Blackfoot or Bush Devil spare parts. I'll also take any King Blackfoot spare parts. Also looking for any Frog or Blackfoot hop-ups (vintage or otherwise). Used but working condition is fine. New is preferred. Especially WTB part E5 (side-ways servo horn). Whatcha got??? Terry
  20. Hey all here's another NIB vintage kit I'm parting with that has the tiniest imperfection but for that reason I am selling it at another bargain price. The ONLY thing wrong with this kit is that in ONE place on one of the chassis sprues the chassis has disconnected from the sprue. SEE PICS! http://www.ebay.com/itm/331683479642 (** UPDATED LINK **) Note: there is a small dent in this corner (only) Here is the imperfection:
  21. Hey folks! I think this is the right place to ask this. I recently purchased a nice collection of vintage Tamiya models. Part of the goal was to sell some to get my money back and of course keep some. Only problem is I want to keep a lot of them! ha ;-) Anyways I have a hornet, frog, and grasshopper all NIB still sealed in the cellophane. I researched ebay a bit and even tossed up some to test the market, but my question is what do you think these are worth? It is hard to tell because you do see a handful of NIB's that are sold, but nothing that is sealed like this. Part of me wants to just hold onto them, part of me wants to build them lol. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
  22. Hello! I bought broken Frog from fleamarket. I have been fixing it and now it mainly works. I'm thinking of buying LIPO battery to it (currently I have tested it using normal recharable batteries 1.2v x 6). It would be great if you could help me with these questions: 1. What is the maximum current that the standard motor can consume? 2. Can the battery have too much current (breaks the motor or something else)? Here is some pics: Forgot to take proper 'before' pic, but here is something: https://www.dropbox.com/s/e0au78dnb8lz8zu/20150801_225542.jpg?dl=0 Washed parts and fixed some part using clue: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rmzmyntv7bmc7wd/20150806_175218.jpg?dl=0 Ready https://www.dropbox.com/s/6iridd3vi5j4hwo/20150908_202042.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/mfsm3on5fbk58kw/20150908_201818.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/hbhusyabi8qvmef/20150908_201853.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/7jf55fi9scyj2ad/20150908_202216.jpg?dl=0 Thanks! - Timo P.S.

  23. So I finally took some photos of some my collection. Here they are. Vintage frog in used condition...I havent touched it since I bought it off CL.
  24. Hello, I'm looking for a pair of steering uprights for the tamiya frog or brat. Not sure if any other models use these but if so then those models too!=) I'm trying to make a frog out of leftover blackfoot parts.. Does anyone have some they'd be willing to give up? Thanks, John
  25. Hello, like the title says I'm looking for a NIP uncut sticker sheet for the Vintage bush devil. It seems impossible to find so I'm hoping someone here knows someone somehwhere that has one in their closet or attic. I would be ok with a whole body with box art stickers in good shape. No cracks. some scratches are ok. Thanks!!
