Tamiya Celica 58096 ta01

Recommended Posts

Hello. ;) Okay as many of you are aware or have seen, i had my new in box celica 58096 for sale. I had been offered a nice amount of money for it, from a local guy, but i decided that money will not do much difference, and that the time i will spend to build and run this car and the fun will worth more to me. So after 20+ years, sitting on shelves, i decided to keep it and build it myself. Next upgrades, will be the original tamiya ceramic bearings, the dynatech O2H motor and the rally cockpit for the interior. The car will stay original so i will only use tamiya and other parts and hop ups that were officially released for this car at the time. So..to be continued..

Looks good mate.

A Tamiya TA01 hopped chassis looks great:D but very expensive to buy and harder to find:blink:

Thanks mate. Although i suck on painting and did some mistakes, i feel happy with the outcome. And i agree. that all hop ups are expensive to gather. especially that dynatech motor which the only one i see on ebay is more than 100$, but its new and oh well we like to spend money :P the good thing is that i have built my ta01 from scratch new, so i will choose carefully what to put on it. I wont waste money on aluminum arms or servo savers or mounts or stuff like that. I did that with my hornet and ended up paying 300 euro just for the parts of my hornet :P The next step is to find someone that will sell me a ready made rally cockpit with the red painted uniforms, or someone who is willing to paint one for me and get paid, cause i suck on detailing faces :P and then bearings and motor. Oh and i noticed a part from rainbow i think, that is a foam that goes around the ta01 chassis, consider it already purchase hehe, as i would like to have a bit of protection.

gathering of parts will be slow. Anyhow, just got a vintage foam side protector made by rainbow. The foam comes precut, so Installed it, looks nice, the foam is thick. So here is the foam for now ;) Th
