Thinking of purchasing a new Neo Fighter, the amount of wear and play in everything must be having some effect, it's not exactly had an easy life in my hands, and I got it 2nd hand on here, 'retire' this one as a beach basher (once I rebuild it...)

However - if you modify a Tamiya RC with a 3rd party gearbox, modify the stock gearbox in any way ( holes or drilling to accept different gears not intended for that chassis) or custom make a gearbox yourself, you will be entered into the "Custom Modified Tamiya RC" Category. After some clarification. With the TT02 I can fit 48p gears to the high speed gear set with no mods to the gear or the gear set. So can I run 48p gears with no mods to the cover to fit a bigger pinion? or must I stay with the mod .6 (I think) Tamiya gears? Also can I use an aftermarket motor mount that allows different gearing options or do I need to stay with the fix motor position mount Tamiya supply? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's correct any pitch you can fit without modifing the cover is the fine. Where is the Boss man? Looking at his profile no sign in for a few weeks, hope everything is ok....

I’ve seen a lot of his collection on eBay recently Unfortunately this hobby does take up a lot of time, fitting it in with home life & a young family can create some issues. A break is sometimes needed, my batteries are all in storage at the moment & the cars safety tucked up, I wouldn’t sell any of mine but I think Jason was often changing cars in his collection. Hopefully someone else will be able to keep this thread going, it’s a brilliant idea! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedy_w_beans 4272 Posted July 30, 2019 Got a reply from Jason1145; he's consumed with house and car stuff at the moment but should be back in the future. Sometimes you do have to put the toys down and take care of real life! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jason1145 3986 Posted July 31, 2019 Hi guys sorry I've been away. It other things taking over as you've all guessed. Im still around but honestly I'll be on this site rarely so how can I pass over control of this thread for someone to update and manage? If it came to it I can just give my log in details to someone and they can log in as me and update as required? (I'd delete all personal info and previous messages about sales trades etc so it's be safe) Ideas? Moderators? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedy_w_beans 4272 Posted July 31, 2019 One idea is for one of us to start a "fastest Tamiya part 2" thread and copy the rules and results from your first post into it. That way the rules remain consistent and the results are preserved, and a new thread owner can maintain accordingly. The new owner could also link to this first thread for posterity. I think the moderators like to keep accurate post counts and original content for users, even those who visit rarely or leave, for the sake of site continuity. Therefore, starting a second thread seems like a clean way to keep it going. Jason, I'll miss your daily enthusiasm for all things Tamiya, but I understand if you need a break. I hope you do check in more than rarely as this competition you started and all the models you worked on brought its own energy to the site. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

speedy_w_beans 4272 Posted July 31, 2019 If there are no other volunteers and no objections, I'll raise my hand, start the "Part 2" thread, and maintain it. I come here regularly and it's not a problem to check entries and adjust the listings. If I have to step away for some reason then someone else could always pick it up as a "Part 3" thread.
