Got my TS just now, going to start the build, more pics soon, went for the TS because I want the Top Force and not Manta Ray, but the Manta looks good

Beautiful kit, can't wait to get my 5 in Jan along with the Top Force and Frog. It feels like the 80's again.[][][][][][]

[Japanscaledriver]

It is the hop up wing, sorry it took so long to reply, but I pretty much only just worked that out.. heehee

The kit is great, easy to build and I just noticed that a shop near me has three packs of universal shafts for Thundershot, I am off to pick them up now.

here is the built/nearly done shot, with my new hat!! Not sure what colour for the wing? blue? white? any suggestions

[dunebuggy71]

Do it white ! Looks the best in my opinion.

That´s a great kit. Can´t wait to get my own example. []

[Type49rs]

They've hit ebay[] Just ordered mine from Jr-rc. I've told myself that i'm not going to open it till Xmas day.[]

[Japanscaledriver]

that's a good price he has on them.

[DJTheo]

Also can't wait for mine! [8D]

Cheers

[Festerfly]

lol.. why is it that money is always short when this stuff is released!!! lol

Anyone want an Egress??? lol

[theshopkeeper]

Out of interest, is the A parts still the same code number as before (0005300) or has Tamiya re-inforced it and renumbered it?

[kontemax]

It has the same problem to the A5 part or Tamiya made a correction?

Cheers

Max

[Japanscaledriver]

the a parts number is 0005300, describe the problem in more detail and I will look at the new one to tell.

BTW I got me a full set of 53028 NIP uNI shafts for this buggy, I can also get one extra pair, if anyone is interested.
