Blazing Star

[fasterthebetter]

I also got a Blazing Star like many other people on this forum. . . I personally think its an awesome car. The only problem I have with it, is the flimsy prop shaft and the standard motor mount. I asked my local hobby shop if i could get a sturdier mount, and the answer was NO. Which i dont believe.

Does anybody know what prop shaft i can get?

Where can i get it?

How much is it?

Do i need anything else to fit it?

THanks guys, this is my first post[]

Welcome to the forum [], please better post questions regarding the BS in this section as it doesn't belong to the vintage, thank you

Welcome to Tamiya Club!

The Blazing Star is quite similar to the Manta Ray which means that all of the hop-ups for the MR will work with your BS. There is an aluminum motor mount availabe readily. The hop-up prop shaft seems to be quite harder to find.

EBay seems to be a good source for these bits (after asking here in the 'For Sale, Wanted & Trades' forum.

Cheers,
