Correct. I only had one Nitro and that was a kyosho inferno, never really got on with them.

Blue tie rod/turnbuckle ends, as found on the Egress? 

If its not them, then the answer is definitely before my time lol

Good shout but it's all blue

[futureworks 864]

Definitely got me stumped! I can't think of a pre-Egress (1989) fully blue hop-up/option part made by Tamiya for a RC vehicle....the only thing I came up with was the kit supplied blue rubber switch protection bag for the likes of the super champ, so not an option part....Arghhh

 

[svenb 3774]

I never knew the Egress had blue ends as a hop up just as a standard fitting 🤔 

If they are a hop up part then that must be that! 

I was thinking nineties

They are standard on the Egress, and a hop up on anything else I suppose.

Yup, this library pic from back in the day shows them as a standard fitting. Were there available as a separate part? I'm not sure. I think the first proper blue hop-up (53XXX numbered) might be the ACTO Power Formula motor, #53154..., and the next one after that 53159 blue alu flange lock nuts :-)

[svenb 3774]

53154 👍

[svenb 3774]

The blue connector ends could be bought separately but can't remember the part number 🙄

As I’ve only recently asked a question, and in the spirit of fair play, I leave  it to someone else to ask the next one👍😊👍

Okay, how about this one. 

In addition to its name and styling cues, there is something else that links the Sonic Fighter with jets in general. What its it?
