I know, right? Particularly as it has an actual and immediate practical benefit over the stock part, which isn’t always the case for  Hop Ups 😂

Are you saying titanium screw's aren't necessary 😲

Expensive bit of kit , amazed that Tamiya has never rereleased it

I purchased that then swiftly reverted to the original part.

Who, me? Never! 😉

Why's that?

[M 800STD 586]

It's a nice little bit of kit, but I thought it was quite heavy/clunky and battery changes were not that much faster than the original part.  Not that I was racing.

Also the original part gave the battery a little more protection and was not convinced about having the clips so close to the ground.

[svenb 3778]

I agree about the faster battery changing time but this won't have that happen very often🙄

[svenb 3778]

These tiny expensive items!

 Nice! Worth the effort to hunt them down, they're definitely a better fit than full stabiliser ends 👍

[Superluminal 3750]

No idea what they do but they look cool.

They stop the stabiliser bar sliding out of the mount

[svenb 3778]

As luck would have it the battery (1700scrc) in the manual has purple end caps👍

Just to help with the colour scheme 😉

[svenb 3778]

Last hop up fitted, just enough of the 3x10 titanium tapping screws 👍

[svenb 3778]

Think it's done👍

I was going to use a Calibra Cliff body but it won't clear the bumper so that's going on a TB04R and I'll use the body off of that on the DJ

[svenb 3778]

Any guesses to what body will sit on top?

Big clues!

[wtcc5 4900]

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IV or V? Mmh, but none of these had OZ wheels… So it must be a Ford Focus RS WRC 01 then 

If so… great choice!

Smart man👍

Although I did add the wheel decals which should have been fitted!

Focus WRC 99

What a beauty

Thanks

I all 4 versions and favourite must be the 01👍

[Juhunio 6830]

Great work, that looks stunning 👏

I've managed to find an '01 body set for a future project, but the wheels are proving very hard to find (particularly ones that haven't gone yellow 🙄)

[svenb 3778]

Last update

A purple motor plate to replace the blue one I have had to put up with🙄

[94SRUNNER 47]

Looking really good! 

[TwistedxSlayer 1290]

Looking good mate.

[ChrisRx718 4470]

Blue one looked better IMO, broke up all that girly pink
