The universals will be nice and those wheel adapters look tasty

[RichieRich]

Oh nice!!  Those new axles are going to sell like crazy.  All they need is a ball diff. 

[Tamiya King]

Good info there!

I know a lot of vintage owners who have been wanting the new drive shafts will be glad if they didn't get them yet! []

Allright, Tamiya saved my weekend with this info. ;-) Will buy it immediately when it is for sale on the net.

DJTheo  want to see a sick 70 mph Frog check out my show room - nuts brushless setup!  petris

[lloydy]

Well cool , good find - am i right in thinking that this set up would work on my wild one?

[TAZ-NZ]

They're already available, I scored a set off Ebay direct from Japan, they arrived on Friday and I fitted them to my Mudblaster on Sunday.

They're a badword of a lot easier to fit than the stock axles or even the modern dog bones, the drive cups are longer than those of the Re-Release Frog, but the axles will work with the Re-Release drive cups, but only just.

Hi ...I beleive that the wheel adapters are and easy upgrade for Blackfoot ,Monster B. Mud B. to use the very nice chrome wheels originaly prodused as hop up for King Blackfoot,Blitzer Beetle and Extreme Blackfoot.Until now you needed the HPI plastic wheel adapters but these Tamiya alu's are A++.The wheels are very cheap to buy and looks Fantastic.!

I think that since ,as far as I know,Tamiya produced hop up re-re parts only for the Frog,We will see more models based on this chassis...But this is just my feeling ,so dont sale your models.....!!
