Peter_B 997 Posted April 16, 2018 Does anybody have the red plastic parts from a Super Sabre? Shocks, rear shock tower, rear hubs, front knuckles, battery holders, anti roll bar mounts, and anything else I've missed. Maybe also a good Super Sabre body. Basically, all of the bits which make a Super Sabre different from a Boomerang. Failing that, anybody have a good condition Super Sabre they might be looking to re-home?

Baddon 860 Posted April 18, 2018 I am also after a red front shock (Once @Peter_B is sorted) if there are any links or anyone has upgraded a super Sabre to Super Shot front and has the old one left can you let me know please? Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know that the front shock parts are the same as the rear shock parts on the Super Sabre? All are of what Tamiya calls the "Short" version, whereas the Boomerang has "Short" up front and "Long" dampers in the rear, which is the reason why the two have different rear shock towers too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baddon 860 Posted April 18, 2018 That may help me as I just need a Red super Sabre shock. Is the spring on the front not stiffer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiyabigstuff 832 Posted April 18, 2018 I have 1 new red damper cylinder but can't find the end caps ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baddon 860 Posted April 18, 2018 @Tamiyabigstuff - Think I may be sorted @Peter_B - I may have found a project full car with shell if your still wanting to go that way? I am asking the guy a price. I am looking a BIgWig off him so can pass on his contact details to you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, different spring, but the damper parts are the same, although different pistons on the sprue are recommended for front and rear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These will turn up , I'm sure he is a TC member ( won't say who ) . So you will be fine . The red shock bodys are the hardest & expensive $$$$ .. Good luck on that .

Baddon 860 Posted May 12, 2018 @Peter_B, the guy I was talking to was very high in my opinion for his cars, the dearest was the SS. I ended up buying just a front shock for £10. he wanted over £100 for a BigWig with a shell that needed replaced so in the end I just bought a re-re as I get to build it myself.

Thanks for coming back to me. I should have come back and updated this as I've found a Super Sabre. Now it's in the list of projects to be done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
