TurnipJF 9192 Posted February 14, 2020 If not the TL-01 or TB-04, perhaps the TA-06? With its IFS, hybrid belt/gear drive, etc, it is quite complex, it came out in 2011 so is post-2000 but older than the TT-02 which was released in 2013, and it has only ever been released in touring car guise, fitting all the clues we have so far? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted February 14, 2020 Heading in the right direction. So close. Yet so far. No belts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
svenb 3778 Posted February 14, 2020 Too many clues mate 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnipJF 9192 Posted February 15, 2020 The TB-03 fits the time clues, but isn't hugely complex, so maybe the TB-03 VDS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted March 6, 2020 Main chassis has arrived. I know what I've got in mind for it. Going to build it as it should be I think with possibly a couple of twists. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnipJF 9192 Posted March 6, 2020 Ah! Is it a XV-01T? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted March 6, 2020 I was highly tempted for a xv01t but belt... Now my plan is back is up in the air after a chat with a fellow member. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TurnipJF 9192 Posted March 21, 2020 It looks like a TB Evo chassis plate, but not sure which one. Evo II maybe? I don't know the Evo chronology off the top of my head... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TurnipJF 9192 Posted March 21, 2020 Of course! TB Evo IV! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted March 21, 2020 1 minute ago, TurnipJF said: Of course! TB Evo IV! It very much will be some version of a TBEvo IV. Although it’s a tough choice between building it as a touring car, drift car, or throwing some long arms on it, taller shock towers and turning into a custom style TRF buggy. As normal, it’s a very slow build, and sourcing bulkheads is the current mission, the problem is that Tamiya stop producing Upper Bulkhead B. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted May 10, 2020 So thanks to the help of fellow members. I’ve been able to source bulkheads and a few other bits and pieces, I’ve got an order coming in from Tamico and a couple due in from eBay of screws and some other stuff. Ill get some pictures up when they arrive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted June 20, 2020 So I've had a message asking me to update this thread. A huge shout out to @svenb And Mark who's user name I can never remember. Between the pair of them I've managed to source most of the parts so far for this build. Mostly off the pair of them. I've new slowly following the instructions but mostly just screwing things together. Lol. I've had to wait for several small parts to arrive like shims and screws and what not. I'll fire some more pictures up later. But here is one just for Steve. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Am hoping Mr Box man on eBay has a few bits and pieces for me. He says he has a steering assembly but hasn't said what that consists of. But for the price he wants for all the stuff he has it's a risk i am willing to take with spending the money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Told you always pays to ask! 👍👍 what else has he got? I really want the split motor mount for it at some point, even more so if I strip a spur gear! 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
