Interested in: All the red parts from a Super Sabre

Recommended Posts

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?

Wrong person - I didn't get one from you.

I don't even have a Super Sabre yet, just the beginnings of an idea.

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.

That may help me as I just need a Red super Sabre shock. Is the spring on the front not stiffer?

@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?

I could be interested, depending what sort of condition it is in and the price.

Yes, different spring, but the damper parts are the same, although different pistons on the sprue are recommended for front and rear.

Thanks for the heads up :)

So now, if those turn up, I'll just be looking for the red shock parts and a body.

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 .

@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.
