Looks like there might just be a TA05 project on the horizon after all @Jonathon Gillham Brilliant, and no doubt this will be a TA05R how Tamiya should have done it. The ESC for the DB01 has arrived already. My experience of Aliexpress has always been good prices but the slowest shipping ever. This took a week or so. Just the dual slipper to go now 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tobyone 557 Posted August 12, 2022 Eventually my order from Tamico, which UK Borderforce took a liking too 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lukej 319 Posted August 12, 2022 Seems like a few of us had presents from Tamico today. Fortunately mine passed through the border unmolested, but the same cannot be said of my RC-Kleinkram order which has some more interesting things in it. A set up board, some painting supplies, and two Bittydesign Seven20 bodies ready for future Eastbourne/King of Clubs participation... Luke 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willy iine 18805 Posted August 13, 2022 Some basic electronics for my upcoming TurboScorpion and Fighting Buggy builds.. I also got some M2 washers for my plasticard builds. I'm honestly more excited by the washers. I just realized I need more servos.. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice Willy, which particular transmitter do you use with those receivers? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kol__ 3377 Posted August 13, 2022 Received Top Force EVO front and rear shock towers from a seller that breaks new kits on eBay This is the last of the parts needed to convert my DF-01 to a Top Force Evo type spec. The car will be a basher, as my NIB EVO will go on the shelf when built at some point in the future. I'm sticking with the gear diffs from the DF-01, at least for now anyway, but am changing out the ally gears from the rear gearbox for plastic ones. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks. Spektrum is a good balance of value and performance. It was notorious for steering wheel spring break on the older models (which I also have that have not broken yet) so I would probably stay away from the second hand market. The DX5Pro has like 500 car memory and microSD transferable in case you want to backup your files. It’s been rock solid for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Re-Bugged 10146 Posted August 16, 2022 Always good when the post coincides with my rostered days off 😁. Just a little something for the spares box while it was on special on the dreaded fleece bay. I’ve been reading some good reviews on them so I thought I’d give one a go… 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve seen the 1251, 1252 & 1258 fitted by a lot of members on here who know more about electric’s than I do so when seeing one for 15 bucks off I thought it worth trying as I’ve had a couple of cheapies fail. The only other higher end servo I’ve bought is a Power HD R12 low profile for my M08, I’m more than happy with it but the wire is VERY short. The Savox however has a nice long wire it. Just giving myself more options for future builds. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gabranth 216 Posted August 17, 2022 My third buggy after VQS and TD2. So price/complexity-wise I'm moving backward. My reasoning (as if we ever need one) is that I feel those two I owned are too complex and precious to be bashed around (will still run them occasionally). I want something simple, cheap, and rugged that I can put in a bag then bring it to untested area without hesitation or worry. It already came with torque-tuned and oil damper so I just bought ball bearings. With that kind of mindset I might end up with a Grasshopper someday 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
