Top Force - Project #neovintage

I had the Top Force back in the days and raced it for a very long period. So I was happy to get one in very good shape a couple of months ago...just before Tamiya announced te re-release of that car. Well - this one was ready to race by the time the re-release hit the shelves.
It features a homemade carbon chassis and shock stays. As the car will be a racer, it was equipped with a 13,5T motor and Hobbywing speedo.

Because I use shorty-lipos I had enough space to mount the speedo there, so all the cables could be very short and tidy. A Savöx 1257TG-Servo does the job in nearly all my cars and so it does in my Top-Force as well.

As I didn't find any Hi Cap shocks I used Associated shocks for the first rollout. But these were exchanged by Losi shocks from a 22 buggy, because I think these are just the finest shocks around.

I can thell you - this is the smoothest suspension-action in any of my Tamiya buggies. It just runs great.
The new bodyshell and wing (original - no repro) was painted in my trademark Gulf-racing colours with homemade cut stickers which I think fit the Top Force bodylines very well.

I let you know how the racing on the german vintage buggy meeting on the 1st of october went.
