I have somehow missed this.I love the TB02 and have converted a normal one into a "R" with all the nice goodies and titanium screws. I can highly recommend the reversible lightweight suspension set #53899. You have a better adjustment for the wheelbase and it doesn't create a weird wheel gap at the wheel arches.ย 

The chassis tub is almost impossible to find but they pop up here and there, mostly in Japan.

Hope to see an update soonย 

ย 

btw: here is the suspension link:ย https://www.tamiyausa.com/shop/option-parts/rc-reversible-lw-sus-set/

unfortunately very hard to find and not cheap and you need new drive shafts :-) nevertheless an awesome update.

I managed to pick up a BNIB reversible kit for dirt cheap. It was so cheap I thought it was a scam, but it arrived in one piece and its all there.

ย 

Got a couple of options for drive shafts.

Just wanting a new chassis as mine has a couple of cracked screw holes and it is scratched.

Very tempted for the Fibrelyte carbon frame kit.

Best part is... a lone BNIB chassis came up on ebay from L&L models on Friday evening. So I've bought that too. Lol. So now I'm going to build 2 of them.

ย 

One being my version of the Ultimate, the 2nd being being built for fun with a few hop ups.

Always set the bar high.

Think I did a fairly good job of the TB01. I see no reason why this one can not be the same.

Still hunting for parts for this one.

That's a great idea - just getย a whole kit - I'm looking for a chassis tub as well - mine has only very minor signs of use but I want it mintย but this tubsย as rare as hen's teeth.

Can't wait to see pictures now !

So I couldn't find a TB Evo 3 top deck, so I bought the TB02 top deck from Fibrelyte. Always been a huge fan of their work. The quality is expectional and this piece is no different.
