Wanted: 51529 Long axles

[Aerobert]

As title says I'm looking for the long axles from part no. 51529 for the TT-02. I need 4 pieces. Don't want to buy the parts sprue four times and get all the other parts I don't need. Shipping to Germany will be necessary.

Thanks in advance.

I would recommend going with steel "small" diameter TG10 long axles instead. You will have to purchase the 39mm dogbones and diff outdrives separately. I found some extremely good quality aftermarket outdrives on eBay for a tiny fraction of the Tamiya part price. Unusual and a good surprise. This way you will not be buying sprues just for one part and the end result will be of considerably higher quality than stock plastic outdrives/dogbones/(ellusive) long axles. I can help you out with part numbers if needed.

Thank you @Pylon80for this advice. But I suspect this will exaggerate the budget of my 200€ rally build. Currently I'm thinking of wheels with appropriate offset. If this doesn't work I will come back to you regarding the part numbers if you don't mind.

No problems at all 😊 Yes these axles are insanely expensive. Now that you mention entering the budget rally build off I understand your point about staying with the stock parts but long ones. I bought a Porsche 911 rsr kit a few years ago and although the car badly needed long axles it didn't come with them 🙄

Eventually I used a mix of WR01 universals and some 38mm swing shafts from the defunct-but-awesome Eagle Racing brand.

I haven't been successful about sourcing 26mm large offset wheels. If you find anything good let us know!

I've ordered some MST wheel with 9 and 8 mm offset from Asiatees. They are quit cheap with around €8,50 for a set of 4 wheels. Don't know how durable their touring car wheels are but the one for the scale crawlers are of good quality. They should be here in about 10 days.
