jupitertwo 1484 Posted September 6, 2021 Got my TA08 I think it’ll be a stock build. I haven’t found any hop-ups required for something that only makes it as far as postal racing? 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The TA08 articles on here are worth a read if you've not been through already: https://www.thercracer.com/2021/07/58693-tamiya-ta08-pro-build-review-and.html?m=0 For postal racing I would think you can stay hopup free, but the carbon shock towers are cheap and provide some additional tuning options 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeeWings 2830 Posted September 7, 2021 I think I now have everything I need to complete and run my first build in 30+ years! Nope. I need paint! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Re-Bugged 10155 Posted September 7, 2021 A couple of ORV Gearbox braces. Mine aren’t showing any signs of clicking but prevention is always better than cure. Thanks @Xeostar, they look great 👍🏻 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks @Xeostar, they look great 👍🏻 Are these a permanent fix? I would be keen on another ORV but they are really expensive when you factor in the MIP diff as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe so, I saw these come up on @Problemchild’s project thread that he seems to have destroyed a MB bodyshell on 3s and the gearbox is still fine. PM @Xeostar (nice bloke) and he will no doubt fix you up. From memory these 2 posted were half the price of an MIP, cheap insurance if you ask me 😉 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These would've meant another MB instead of the Lunchbox! Still working out an angle for a new TRF so the ORV on the backburner...for now 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn’t worry, I was getting similar lap counts with TT02s vs TA07 so unless I’ve had an upgrade I’d doubt this TA08 would change much I’d love to get back doing some postal racing, just time and locations are not aligning at the moment. 3s in an M chassis, that sounds like a challenge in itself! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djmcnz 754 Posted September 7, 2021 I doubt I'll ever build this, I don't have the patience, particularly for the paintwork. I want one to match each of my 1:10's, I have a Jager en route but have yet to find a Vaillant for a reasonable price. And I'm a sucker for great boxart. #LockdownLife #EssentialProducts 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ImALlama 1370 Posted September 8, 2021 Opened a few packages that I’ve acquired over the past week or two, I’ve been out of town so haven’t been able to open them till today. I’m glad to find out that my mystery package from Japan is an actual kit and not just parts or who knows what . Now I just have to figure out what I’m going to use it for 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

berman 5315 Posted September 10, 2021 2x Bumper/body post parts trees for the M-Four. Bought them locally from a seller with bad feedback that drop ships them from the states, wasn't expecting them for another month if at all to be honest. Only reason I got them is he had two sets which I needed, and the few other sellers only had one. Anyway, I don't have the two 3x8mm black button head hex screws to install them, so thinking about buying the whole Titanium screw set 🤔 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
