I haven't used the Power HD stuff before, but it seems to get good reviews and has great spec's for the price. Though I do hate the fact that it's blue...LOL.

I'll be honest, when I bought them I thought they were black, but now they've arrived they're actually a lovely blue / turquoise colour! They're stamped with the Tamiya name and the 53232 part code but I've never seen them before and can't find out anything about them. Anyone come across these before? Fantastic catch! I haven't seen this variation yet, but not at all surprised they exist. Tamiya has produced these in just about every color and finish imaginable. Here's an array from my collection: https://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=137040&id=2400 I'm certain there's more colors out there, but I think most of the variations were made in small batches and sold/distributed as promos at Tamiya expositions in Japan, so there's probably not many floating around.

You have a good eye Thanks @OCD, they are a lovely colour! I would love to say that it was my quality eye that picked them out, but it was a complete fluke.

bRIBEGuy 3044 Posted July 14, 2022 I'm not gonna lie... I've never really been a huge fan of the DT-03. I've also never really given one a shot. That being said, I do like some of the "Modern Frog" builds, and so when this popped up dirt cheap locally, I opted to shoot first and think second. Box is a bit beat up, but otherwise is a NIB kit. I'll probably sit on it for a bit (first world problem of too many projects...), and then figure out what I want to do with it... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alvinlwh 5895 Posted July 14, 2022 A Carson Reflex Wheel Pro 3. When I returned to RC last year, I got a Carson Reflex Stick Pro 3.1 as I used to have sticks a decade ago. Also, thinking sticks will be easier for my kids to learn on. However, since getting a CR3P myself and Turbo Racing P32s for the kids, we just took to wheel naturally so time to get another wheel tx. Had considered Turbo Racing, RadioLink and Flysky, I decided to get another Carson as I already got a handful of RX for the Stick tx. Just a matter of rebinding them and away I go! The plus is I can keep the trim, etc on the Stick tx (wife still prefer the stick) and bind to the wheel when I drive with all the trim, etc set. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blista 1519 Posted July 15, 2022 It took three different suppliers and several months before I could get a set of the Rock Block soft tyres. I think softer would be a more accurate description because they're still quite stiff compared to modern crawler tyres. They'll suit the Unimog better than the stock tyres and should perform better, though. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
