Do you use this to clean the electrical contacts after a run or coat them before and this repels the moisture? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually use this to spray on metals (diff cup/dog bone as an example) to keep it from rusting after running on wet conditions. Got the electronic version just in case i spray some on some electronics. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just possible he may have a swiveling head, but I have refrained from opening the packet to check! Plaza gifts need their own thread..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Re-Bugged 10153 Posted January 31, 2023 A metal rear cage for the Turbo Scorpion. Bio Security also took an interest in it as they had a look inside. Nicely resealed though and a polite note included. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As she mentioned you can even hear it jingling inside 🤷🏻♂️ I’m thinking they may have thought something was inside the tubes, or the dogs picked up a scent from somewhere.

Juhunio 6830 Posted January 31, 2023 A delivery from Japan, with more lovely parts...these guys package everything so well 😊 Another piece of the jigsaw of black special parts for my TA05 project, a second set of fancy aluminium M chassis wheels for an upcoming M05 bits-a-build, suspension mount and damper for the F103RS... ...and a limited edition sticker set that doesn't even have a part number on the tag, but is a Loctite livery set for a Skyline R33 N1 for which I managed to pick up the shell and wing from Tony before Christmas. As far as I can tell it only ever came on a TA02, so I'm going to see if this one will fit my TA02RS when I get around to building it. 😀 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're pretty old now and quite spenny on the secondary market but I managed to pick up two pairs at acceptable prices on Japanese Yahoo auctions They are really beautifully made though and will look great on my M05 project, which will be built with a limited edition red metallic chassis along with black aluminium parts and various other Hop Ups, with the Mini Cooper Monte Carlo rally body shell on top. I'm looking forward to that one 😀 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the damper pliers, turnbuckle wrench and adjuster wrench are my favourite of all the Tamiya tools...easy-peasy damper rod assembly and the cure for turnbuckle-thumb 👍 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I foolishly built my dampers before I decided to buy the damper pliers but I'm looking forward to using them in the future! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
