mike in pa 64 Posted November 2, 2021 I picked up a TD on Saturday from LHS. About half built now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nel33 870 Posted November 3, 2021 I haven't gotten around to building my TD yet but it's next on list. How much roof space is there with the driver figure placed on the chassis? I hope to make anthropomorphic cat driver on mine so some ears will be needed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I live in Monroe County which is the county on the eastern end where Rt80 comes into PA. Currently there are NO hobby shops in Monroe County and the only one in PA that I go to here and there is down towards the Lehigh Valley, Trains and Lanes, but they rarely handles Tamiya, just traxxas, Armaa, and axial, plus lost/associated for the race guys. So, earlier in the year, I found a hobby shop just over in NJ, F&M in Flanders and he has tons of Tamiya kits. It only takes me about ten to fifteen minutes longer to hit the place in NJ but it's worth it. He even handles Kyosho kits too. He has plenty of stuff for the traxxas/aarma/axial crowd too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cool thanks for the info. That's about 2.5 hours from me so not terribly convenient but I do have to travel to Jersey City every once in a while for work and this might make a decent pit stop. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GTodd 1349 Posted November 25, 2021 I’m surprised that there isn’t more excite for the EVO. I’ve given up on getting one from an American vendor, seems Tower had been on back order since July. Just ordered one from Jazz. Im super excited. Will be my last purchase, that is until Tamiya decides to do an OG Astute , KingCab variant, or a new legit 4wd. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am starting my evo build next week after sitting on it since july. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alangt4 123 Posted November 25, 2021 What do you mean- there were tons of unboxing, build and run videos considering it was a re-release! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert5000 928 Posted May 28, 2022 Has anyone seen Tamiya releasing a clear shell? I'm getting ready to build, but boxart is not for me. Also, I've not the wheels available anywhere, and I've been waiting for hicaps to be released as well. But I guess the last couple of years of pandemic wrecking havoc on all supply chains means we just got to be patient. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I'm just going to reply to myself here and inform me that I need to up my search game, as that let me find everything I thought wasn't available.
