Dogbones for King Blackfoot

[hornet69]

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get dogbones for the King Blackfoot, I tried from Tamiya, but they were no help, said they had them on the site, but I called and they are backordered til the next century, lol.

Dogbones for the King Blackfoot are the same as for the TGX (item # 50625), so they shouldn't be so hard to find.

However, most Tamiya distributors don't know and don't care about cross-references like these, so when you asked, the part was probably considered a 9-digit bulk part and not a regular 50XXX-series part. As most European Tamiya fans will know, parts from the 50xxx-/SP-series are normally much easier to get than the bulk parts. Not sure if it is the same in the rest of the world (outside Japan), but it wouldn't surprise me.

Try to order 50625 (they come in pairs) and the chance of being successful should be good.

Just for the records, TGX and King Blackfoot wheelaxles are totally different, so TGX universal shafts won't fit.
