Has that sated your desire for a T01E?

Or is it too nice to bash?!

Postie dropped this off this morning! Poor guy it was absolutely chucking it down and he looked freezing:unsure:!, I was going to put it into my bigwig but change my mind, I've started to take a very keen interest in the brushed motors at the moment without realsing it I've gained quite a collection:rolleyes:

I need to do the same. I've created a Google site but it's very basic and needs a sort out before I start linking to it

For the build threads I've done, I was thinking of doing a kind of montage and unloading to YouTube, just need to figure out how to do it! (I've a feeling I may need to dig out the old laptop...)

Very nice. I knew that Tamiya had produced the TA02 chassis tub in different colours, sold I think as ‘event only items’ at trade fairs in the Far East, thought I’ve not seen a TA01 tub like this before. OCD on the main TC site knows a lot about these different coloured parts, and has collected quite a number of these tubs and other parts -see here for a similar/same colour TA02 tub: https://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=113855&id=2400

I will not say that it can't be a TA02 chassis, but seller said it was DF01 chassis. I guess I will find out once I should use a DF01 4wd drive shaft :P

Had this beauty turn up today, now while I hate my re-release I'm totally smitten with this already. Overall this is in really good condition, & it also came with a few suprises as its fitted with radio gear (which wasn't expected) & whilst I'll be taking it out for something more period & the MSC is missing, it still has the all important mounting plate in situ. Another thing I noticed & will have to do some research on is the Gearbox plate - It says 'Quattro Rally' which I's sure is different to the original Wheeler plate?

Undo the gear cover & check idler gear, the layshaft should be offset (2 positions available) afaik.

Sorry can't check right now <_< Mine is within sight 3m away but wife is snoring too close to risk accessing it... :unsure:

I’ve no idea, Tamico have them nearly as cheap and some other Ebay sellers aren’t far off price either but my link was the cheapest in town

A Hobbywing 860 dual motor ESC which will end up in my Juggy, unless I buy another dual motor truck.  A Super Stock BZ for my Avante re re.  When I assembled the car I put in a placeholder motor (used Stock TZ) and I now wish I hadn't.  Unlike the Egress, removing a motor from an Avante seems to require a lot of disassembly as the top chassis deck complete surrounds the motor and rear transmission.  Does anyone know of a quick and easy way to swap out the motor in the Avante?

Got a eco power slingshot 13.5 brushless for my  re re monster beetle. The kyosho lemans 17.5 is to slow. The eco power is made my amain so i figured for the price $60 id give it a shot since it has good reviews. Only negative is how short the sensor cable is.

A couple of big boxes in the post today, one with a slightly worse for wear M38 body & then this from Germany

25040365497_849ca94596_b.jpg

which contained 2 Lamborghini Countach shells & wheel sets. These are new but have been taken from XB kits which have been stripped down as the tape is still on the inside of the shell front m where the leds have been removed.

I only actually need 1 shell but fat fingers made me order 2 somehow! Keep an eye on the for sale section! 😂
