TG10-MK1Rover Mini Cooper nitro

[88JRA]

Hi all, my first post on this forum so thank you for having me.

 

I’ve got my hands on a Rover Mini Cooper glow engine TG10 mk1 which has a bit of crash damage along with a few missing parts. I’m looking to get it running and back on the road but it is my first Tamiya project. 

 

I’m after a bit of advice to help me identify which parts I require and where would be a good source to buy the parts from…or even if anyone on here has any parts available. 
 

It’s looking like a front body & shock mount, rear drive shaft/hub, wheel, wheel nut.

 

any part codes or universal parts which might fit would be really helpful. I’ll upload some photos for reference (although it’s only letting me upload 3).
 

thanks all.

Manuals can be found here:

It should have a list in the back with all part numbers.

The shock mounts are part of the gearbox assembly - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tamiya-TG10-50800-Gear-Case-x-2-Other-Parts-Taken-from-an-unused-new-built-kit/166076236761?pageci=874172db-cea4-496b-b652-34c08354bd94&redirect=mobile

Best advice has to be to strip the chassis down completely, clean everything, and referencing against the manual, see what’s broken or missing and go from there. In the Nitro section, you’ll also find somewhere a complete tutorial to help you strip down the engine and refurb it, if the parts are ok. Look for threads by acprc. I also did a thread about refurbing a FS-12LT engine based on the advice I was given, so as your engine will be the same, you could look out for that as well.
