Vanquish Parts (may be common on Avante & Egress)

[Baddon 860]

The last parts I need for my Vanquish restore are:-

2 Nr battery tray catches, 2Nr BP2 with screws BC2

& 1 Nr BL7 the screw that lets the front wheel carrier turn in the front upright.

 

I suspect (hope)  these parts may be common to the Avante or Egress.

On the Vanquish they come from 3 separate screw bags and are like rocking horse poo with a cost you can expect from such hard to find parts.

Even if someone has the relevant part numbers (parts/screw bag) from Avante that I can source for a lot less then please let me know.

 

Thanks in advance.

The step screws (your BL7) are in the avante kit ‘BL’ link pin bag. The BP part isn’t in the avante kit unfortunately. The avante uses an r-clip mount with its own thread on, self tapping.

Those step screws are the same as used for Mchassis as well.

The BP2 is also quite common. Have to check Seidel I believe you can get it separately.

I´m also searching the battery Posts for my restore, quite hard to come by. Step screws are also used on some other models as link Pins for C-hubs.

I think waterbok is Right, could be tamiya 3405029 from the Hotshot, but I have no parts in Hands Right now to check the dimensions.

The hexagonal mount looks like it might be the same as is in the super hotshot ‘B’ bag, loads of bits in there though so expensive I bet. Look at the manual downloads from tamiya.com

[waterbok 1286]

yeah its the 3405029 just compared my TF with the Vanquish

 

[waterbok 1286]

step screws 50579, thats a total of approx 14€ in parts

[Lee76 638]

@waterbok out of interest where do you buy spares from, individually rather than kits?

[waterbok 1286]

Seidel, he has loads available, live in Germany so no shipping problems. And sometimes Tamico but they are usually a bit more expensive for spares.

Used to be a big fan of Banzai hobbies but the dont do T anymore

[Lee76 638]

Thanks, couldn’t find Seidel is that an ebay seller? Saw the Tamico ones though for future reference. Thanks for that, I’m hijacking this thread, so moving on now!  

[waterbok 1286]

No eBay, But big online seller.

Some say he has more Tamiya parts than Tamiya,...….

And he packs orders before you actually order them.  (They arrive quick, often next day)

All I know is they call him the stig Tony
