I got this conversion back in 2001, back then, I have no idea how to fix it as has literally no instructions and I had little skills to making custom parts. 1) Some parts missing and TA01/2 parts were rare as it was discontinued 2) Tamiya fuel tank didnt work. It required a Kyosho fuel tank, very wierd. 3) The steering bell crank all had interference. Full throw was not possible. 4) Brake disc not available. 5) Found a 30 sized Helicopter which fits

Ha! Welcome to my world - these are crazy kits to try and work out. Here's a thread in the forum about my build of one of these, which I am close to completing (a Kyosho 92301 fuel tank fits by the way, and is the same as the one in the instruction sheet): [Click here]

I just find it ridiculous to need parts from Kyosho. I still prefer Tamiya parts whenever possible, my 2nd one will use a FS-12 for sure
