We are talking about the mini hi caps . They are smaller than too force you can use them on tf if you buy a low profile shock tower from eBay Im thinking if doing this with the tf im starting any day now as the standard tf hi caps seem a bit too high in my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snappy1 966 Posted November 14, 2020 RC Mart currently has stock of the VQS/Avante high cap set 47455, just picked up 2 sets I cannot wait to get my hands on them, these days mini high caps are very very hard to find Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RC Mart doesn't have them on the site yet that i can tell and Tamiya USA still hasn't had any stock. Same guys who were selling toilet rolls back in March I think. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wandy 1527 Posted December 8, 2020 Did the UK stores ever get these in stock? Just looked on Modelsport's website and it now says they are not due now until March 1st. Have they already had a 1st batch though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NulnOilTycoon 161 Posted December 9, 2020 Does anyone know how long these are eye to eye? If only Tamiya would list their shock dimensions it would make planning upgrades much easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wandy 1527 Posted December 10, 2020 Have to say, whatever you think of this Vanquish re-re, I don't think it will be around for very long. Can see it being like the Black SuperClod earlier in the year.....blink & you missed it. Those kits are already fetching nearly £400 on ebay - not far off twice the retail price - and I could see these VQS kits going for £500+ this time next year. It always happens with these limited kits...as soon as they are discontinued & unavailable the price quickly rockets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I already have a kit so I'm good...but thanks for the heads-up anyway. I guess the people paying over the odds on ebay don't know about the Tamico stock...

I’m talking about people buying several sets and then put them up on eBay double or triple the price - they do it as a business. Not talking about discontinued items here - they will always go up in value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony’s Tamiya were expecting them in October now it will be spring time next year. Guess the UK importers are at the back of the queue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
