I recon you could get most of the 2wd , bearing hex fronts to fit, but you'll need the yokes etc. If I get a chance, I'll check the Schumacher cougar (kf2) up against the neo fighter, seem to be quite a few Schumacher spares on ebay. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kyosho or a Tamiya freewheel axle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I've a full RB5, but they are the part numbers , yes. 9 minutes ago, Kingfisher said: what axle do you have running through them? The part number for the shaft is UM569 and bearings are BRG001TS (although cheaper bearings should be avaialble) I'd scan eBay for 2wd 12mm hex front ends, a Schumacher cougar one went for £9 the other day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wooders28 4723 Posted September 17, 2018 Thought they'd been sold! I'm guessing these would fit, but would need different yokes? https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Schumacher-Cougar-KF-KF2-Front-Hub-Carriers-Yokes-Hexes-U4380-U4389-KC/153183980391?_mwBanner=1&_rdt=1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I already ordered the Kyosho parts that I linked too. For the axles, I found part number UM506 which is listed as "Front Wheel Shaft (RB5)". The part number for the bearings help. Now I can compare to all of the extra bearings I have for my Tamiya's to see if I have the same size. Thanks for the help. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a shaft with a drilled hole for a pin and hex, UM569 has a machined hex as part of the shaft. 52 minutes ago, Kingfisher said: I have for my Tamiya's to see if I have the same size. It's good to have a selection pack to fall back on 😂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's good to have a selection pack to fall back on 😂 Seems like either one would work, right? With UM506, it'll be just like on the rear. I have plenty of spare hexes. What size hex does UM569 have? 12mm? I got plenty of spare bearings. Accidentally bought 3 different sets twice, forgetting that I had already gotten them months before. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_oliK 108 Posted September 17, 2018 I for one, enjoy the crazy DIY stuff in particular. So, yeah. Bye. Blast some Disaster Area, and don't forget your towel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes / No, the hex's are alot thinner, think they are 6-7mm (?) on the rear, front are only 2-3mm. 1 hour ago, Kingfisher said: What size hex does UM569 have? 12mm? Yeah, they are 12mm.

Terz1 745 Posted September 17, 2018 I've just come back. Don't go grandad! I'll check over the builds that you have done. I discovered Tamiya club a few years back. Built a few things then moved onto just making my own stuff up using parts from here and there, mainly crawlers/scalers like the scx10 style trucks. I've come back now. I want to build some more tamiya and I really like the enthusiasm on here. I think you could move on to other stuff and still pop on here which would be great with the experience you have. I think when you're a tc member we become boomerangs and always come back again. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So could I use UM506 with a tamiya hex from something like a M05 or TT02? I know, these are questions that I could easily answer myself once I get the parts.

Metallic 2 Posted September 23, 2020 Anybody know where we can hunt down this legend on Facebook or Instagram? I'm pretty gutted about PhotoBucket and Imger? deleting all the old images. I'm building a Formula Racer and wanted to see Grandad Stinky's Dual Ridge again. I saw it years ago but wanted a refresh. I have looked at Alex Kyriaks Formula Neo but wanted to see other takes.

Kevin_Mc 411 Posted September 24, 2020 I don’t think it’s Photobucket or Imgur that deleted the photos, I think Grandad Stinky went through and deleted his old posts one by one. I think @Wooders28 has him on Facebook still btw @Wooders28, my phone has been knackered for a full week now but i’ve been meaning to message you to see how things are. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Usual, stress free! 😂😂, who am i kidding, moved house last week, walked in, and they've taken pretty much everything, all the white goods gone, and even wires hanging out the ceiling where the lights used to be...😳 Most of my RC's are at the back of the full, 40ft storage container, poor planning , so cant even have a quick blast in the garden at the new gaff🤦♂️ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was a member of DT page and have sent request for Basement, sounds like a nice small crew. I'm living in Korea so online friends only.

The RC Basement page was born after getting abuse for putting brushless motors in Tamiyas, (it was someone else who set the page up, but asked me to help along), and was ,Modified & Brushless ,originally but found that most of us has other RC's, so renamed and includes anything RC now. 👍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
