Rich_8717 114 Posted July 2, 2019 I'd like one of these for my re-re evo replica, its got everything on it so far except the proper evo diffs and titanium screws, I have a 3rd party carbon chassis atm but this would finish it off nicely. I just hope they make a decent amount and that they don't all get poached and marked up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waterbok 1282 Posted July 2, 2019 I guess they will come in a nice collectible plastic bag, safely wrapped just like the hi caps. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha yeh, too right, although for £150 quid I would expect them to come on a silver platter. I was hoping that the hi-caps and now the chassis plates were still being produced but kept back possibly for an evo re-release, and releasing them to be sold separately was a bit of an after thought so they just bagged them up and made a few sets available but you never know these days with Tamiya.

I read somewhere that the set will include Evo style damper plates. And maybe the 150£ will even include j parts and the alloy mount set, that would be nice.

The chassis kit "sounds like" the original Avante Carbon Firbre chassis kit, that kit included turn buckles etc as well. Hopefully the blue adjusters and other EVO specific parts are included. So does this mean an EVO rere is coming finally?????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's hope so, but to me this sound like it's not coming, they are giving us the parts to build our own version of a Top-Force. Of course there are some parts missing in order to get a finished evo... Fingers crossed for a rerelease of the evo..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GTodd 1349 Posted August 4, 2019 😓.. and now I don't want it. They are lovely looking, but the writting on The Too Deck is not the same as the original Evo. That being said I would be in for a complete Rere EVO regardless of the top deck . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I fully understand that, but at least the printing is the same as for the original conversion set (# 53100), except for the added text "Tamiya" underneath the logo. That said, 53100 may have existed in a version with the text underneath the logo too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
