[Oneball1971 127]

Well I've just took delivery of the first bits for my Top Force. The kit and bearings are on order from Stella's.

Nice,

now's the time to grab some hi-caps whilst they are easy to get if your budget allows.

I'm thinking carbon fibre prop shaft at some point, if possible. The kit and bearings have been shipped from Stella and the hi caps and motor mount are now on route from Tamico.

Are you going for the carbon chassis set?

I was thinking about it but heard the quality isn't very good but does make the car look good.

Quality is good but the chassis plates are glossy as apposed to a more matt finish of the original.

Oh right ok, will probably get one eventually.

Id get the chassis set, not only is it stiffer but you get turnbuckles and EVO sock towers. Also get the Hicaps while they are easy to get.

[Oneball1971 127]

Yeah I intend too. I have the hi caps on their way from Tamico as we speak.

[Oneball1971 127]

Got some more bits today. Just waiting for the kit and bearing set to be released from customs.

[Oneball1971 127]

My top force kit and bearings have been sitting at customs since Sunday afternoon. So annoying.

Yeah, I have rung parcelforce numerous times since Monday. They know the charge amount (£25) but they cant take payment until it's in their depot. Two days to get from Hong Kong and then spends a week in customs!

Finally got it, I had to go to the depot to get it though, otherwise it would of been delivered on Tuesday!!!!
