JNSD1 288 Posted September 18, 2019 5 minutes ago, Saito2 said: As far as RCMart goes, I don't care how many they say they have in stock. I've tried to buy these dampers from them twice before when they supposedly had them in stock. They took my money and then a few days later emailed me and said they were actually out of stock (despite the site stating there were a number in stock) and asked if I wanted store credit or a refund. The last time they pulled this trick it was for a Super Astute that was an actual "buy it now" auction on Ebay. Again, they took my money and said it would be sent out. A couple days later, another email stating it actually wasn't in stock. Again, I had to get the money transferred back to my Paypal account. I know plenty of people do business with them, but they've essentially lied to me three times now, so to heck with them. That's really odd, and seems pretty strange. I'd be wry as well. I've bought plenty from them, always been A+, hopefully my dampers turn up safe and sound! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just got another set. Only 14 left now. Funny as as I was emailing RC Mart about them as recently as last week and they didn’t say they were getting them in at all. Well the the prediction was right. If one suppliers getting them in Europe, lots will be. yeeep got my set !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Avante2001R 305 Posted September 19, 2019 RCjaz have sold out. Tamiya just fail to see the demand. Just let them be available all the time ffs! Their parts supply is dismal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Their parts supply is dismal. Agreed. I used to get all wound up trying to get these parts that here today gone tomorrow. I gave up playing that game. Its not worth the hassle. When Tamiya makes them consistently available like CVA shocks, then I'll buy some. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mtbkym01 3946 Posted September 21, 2019 Got email from RCMart saying they have been sent to Hong Kong post office for shipping so I guess their in stock numbers were correct, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tamiya3speed 461 Posted September 21, 2019 Anybody notice this on the Top Force listing on RCMart: Pleasenote that this item is on Back Order (Limited Quantity), the next ETA is End November 2019. ETA is subject to change due to manufacturer delays. Back Order Special Offer: Free 1 Set of Tamiya Top-Force 2017 High Capacity Damper Set #47358 Promotion Period: 1/09/2019 – 30/11/2019 http://www.rcmart.com/tamiya-47350-force-2017-p-73602.html Seems like a crazy good deal if this is truly the case.

moffman 5707 Posted September 21, 2019 My topforce was one of only two rc's I regret selling (the other was my first re-re avante) but to be fair I did get a very good price for it! Anyway after a few weeks I began to regret it so I'm over the moon both topforce and dampers are making a reappearance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dc-arena 81 Posted September 22, 2019 Will these dampers fit on the Super Astute? Thinking of getting a SA, wondering if it’s worth grabbing a set for that car, assuming they fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thinking of getting a SA, wondering if it’s worth grabbing a set for that car, assuming they fit. They will only work if you fit a dyna storm front shock tower. The top force set are all the same length front and rear, similar to the rear shocks on your super astute. The front SA shocks are much shorter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GTodd 1306 Posted September 22, 2019 3 hours ago, trexfan said: No you will need the egress hi caps They are one in the same. Shortly after the Avante Black Release and before the Egress Rerelease Tamiya introduced AVANTE Hicap damper set for the AVANTE. The Hicaps have never been available as a spare part for the Egress , even though the parts are listed on the Tamiya USA spare parts page. The Front Hicap from the Avante option set is a mini Hicap, the same you will need for the front of an Astute car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GTodd 1306 Posted September 27, 2019 Alright I live in the Glorious USA and my (2) sets of Hicaps are on the way for my current projects. I just saw that Tamiya is coming out with a Black Clodbuster, I can't stand the blue. I might pick up the Black Clod and (2) more sets of Hicaps for that.
