Just traded myself to this one :) A super pretty newbuilt Top Force re-re!

It's been fitted with somekind of aftermarket carbon chassis and shocktowers (anyone recognize?), a good portion of red alu washers and nuts, stainless steel screws and propper turn buckles.

Now all it needs is some replacement dampers, either hi-cap or aereation types....

I found some proper eletronics from the same timeline and fitted it.

Hope you like it!

Very nice looking TF, those carbon parts could be from fibre-lyte. The new HiCaps will be a fitting upgrade, spring colour (gold) might take some getting used to.

You have got really really lucky on this buggy. It looks like it has a fibre-lyte carbon fibre chassis and matching Top Force Evolution shock towers from Fibre-Lyte. As an extra bonus, it has been configured to run saddle pack batteries. Fantastic stuff....

Ohh, I failed to mention: It also has Top Force Evolution turnbuckles. What you have there is basically what I want my Top Force to become, but it will cost me significant $$$... just a little bit jealous....

Sweet car you found there ! These buggies look like they are going really fast even when standing still. Cool red parts on it too.

Thank you guys for those great comments

AJ anf waterbok, yes ) think they are fibre-lyte too. The aluminium standoffs and the standoffs for the battery plates are beautifully machined, silk like finish - but not shiney like tamiya would be.

Poul, indeed. I dare not put it on the shelf, it looks like it wants to drive right off

Lovely example - chassis stand off are definitely not Tamiya, but a nice design nonetheless. You need some re-re Hi-Caps now; I added them to my rebuild int his thread if you want to see how they look.. [Click here]

Nice Fibrelyte chassis equipped Top Force you have there! Oof the Racer Novak sure brings alot of memories for me, such top class ESC's of their time!

Thank you Sunnyjai! Yeah it must definitely be fibre lyte. I wonder if they also made the stand offs? Also have a Novak tempest max in stock
