TenzoR 62 Posted March 19, 2010 It's kinda weird that my rear cage from BC2009 fits the SS2010 and the "bad" rear cage from SS2010 fits my BC2009 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shodog 1835 Posted March 19, 2010 Just got my 2010 SS in and I think I have to the miss drilled rear bumper. I suspect that these miss drilled cages will be worth something in the future simply because it was a mistake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorchio 139 Posted March 19, 2010 Just got my 2010 SS in and I think I have to the miss drilled rear bumper. I suspect that these miss drilled cages will be worth something in the future simply because it was a mistake. Thats a good point, maybe 30 years down the line an immaculate SS2010 body shell could be worth more than originals as theres gonna be allot less of them produced and Im noticing more radical mods and cutting going on with them than we ever saw with originals. In fact I'm planning one myself MU HA HA HA HA......where did that evil grin smiley go? Its a shame I've been thinking long and hard but I really can't justify buying a whole SS2010 kit right now. I've just got too many old SRB chassis sets packed away without radio boxes or bodies so maybe I'll just treat myself to a body kit (or 3) if they ever arrive, and that funky RC Channel suspension mod. Big thanks to Tamiyadan for the info on that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am in the same boat with you. I have a ton of vintage SRB chassis but I wanted the new kits anyway. I got my BC long ago and the 2010 Scorcher in time for my Birthday. I love it when I can buy whatever I want for myself. I bought a 2010 body kit and a bunch of extra P and L parts for my Other scorchers. I also bought a bunch of radio boxes from Jason when he was blowing them out for super cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorchio 139 Posted March 19, 2010 I also bought a bunch of radio boxes from Jason when he was blowing them out for super cheap. Doh! Missed out again. Think I'll get a few radio boxes anyway.

Question Boy 0 Posted March 21, 2010 Need to add another note on my post for the rc channel rear suspension kit. TamiyaDan, I appreciate your reviews on the RC Channel parts for the SRBs, I'll be ordering a few bits from them soon! Are the alloy wheels a one piece design and thus require the tires to be glued to the rims? Thanks, Question Boy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Question Boy 0 Posted March 22, 2010 yes they are one piece. I would of liked them to be 3 or 2 piece but you can't win them all. Thanks again for the info. I found a set of alloy *outer* rims from an ebay seller here in the US. The parts look good, and although I like the idea of a one piece wheel for strength, I do appreciate not having to bond the tire when using multi piece wheels. On another note, I'm working on some parts to fit a 28mm dia. x 45mm long brushless motor. I'm sure I could fit a standard 36mm dia. brushless with some mods, but I'm of the mind that the smaller brushless motors still make plenty of power for the old drivetrains. I just want a little more power in the sand and the increased efficiency... Anyone else running a brushless in their SRB? QB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skottoman 306 Posted March 22, 2010 It seems the SS body sets are shipping from Tower Hobbies. I had 2 on back order, and they are shipping today. With a discount and free shipping, I'm getting them for $26.50 each. Seems like a pretty good deal considering that's what most lexan shells cost these days. Cheers!

JAnderson 59 Posted March 22, 2010 Yes from an eBay seller in Florida It could have came from overseas then. did it have shrink wrap and the blue bag inside? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TenzoR 62 Posted March 23, 2010 yes, shrink wrappped and the blue bag inside only one way to find out but I talked to my LHS regarding these cages, he said Tamiya Canada and USA should have gotten all the correct ones and included in them before shipping them out.

JAnderson 59 Posted March 24, 2010 yes, shrink wrappped and the blue bag inside Then it did come from the USA and should have had the correct part inside. Please contact our customer service for the correct part. 800-tamiya-a Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kalsh 44 Posted March 25, 2010 JR and Stella have the body sets on the web. I would suggest Stella's online store as they are only $32.30. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WillyChang 1814 Posted March 25, 2010 dammit only just finalised & paidup an order few hrs ago too... On a different note... who thinks its worth renaming this thread to "Sand Scorcher 2010" ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chinaman SS 0 Posted March 25, 2010 anyone's rear cage not aligning? I got it from rc-champ and it's the T-shirt version just got mine from RCChamp and the rear cage is fine ... i guess after a few queries from those who got the miss-aligned cages, they will replace them before sending them out. extra work for them. i am sure Tamiya will pay for their additional postage that the retailers have to incur for sending out replacements.
