Newly built with all hop up parts Dec 2024-Jan 2025, and my best build ever!
This is a new built model using pretty much every additional hop up part available, all brand new parts. It came as standard with, so the Tamiya blurb says, 14 hop up parts included in the kit, some listed below. The rest from what I can see in the manual parts listing comprise upgraded tyres, various full ball bearings, and upgraded brake pads and pinion gears.
53280 TA03 Super Low Friction Damper Set (in silver, which were only available in this kit and the TG10-Mk.1 Chassis kit 44020, never as a separate hop up in this colour)
53281 Progressive Force Spring Set
53252 TGX Rear Aluminum Upright
53208 Lightweight Flywheel
53200 Front One-Way
53245 TGX Ball Diff
53242 TGX Aluminum Engine Mount
53199 TGX Stabiliser Set
53201 TGX 2-Speed Transmission
53355 TGX Urethane Bumper
I added the following to make this a Top-Spec TRF:
53376 TGX Carbon Upper Deck
53377 TGX Racing Chassis
53197 TGX Turnbuckle Shaft Set
53207 TGX Stainless Steel Suspension Shaft Set (just needed for the upper arms)
53157 Aluminum King Pins
53397 TGX Reinforced Propeller Shaft
53289 TGX Hard Alu Front Suspension Arm Set (includes lower suspension shafts)
53290 TGX Hard Aluminum Rear Suspension Arm Set (includes lower suspension shafts)
53198 TGX Universal Shaft Set x 2
53368 (TGX, TG10) Aluminum Brake Arm Set
53056 Pin Type Wheel Adapter
53595 TRF Damper Aluminum Retainer
53284 Aluminum 5mm Ball Connectors (instead of the standard kit supplied brass ones)
Engine & Related Parts: I went with the parts recommended in the build manual:
41031 FS-15RS Engine
41028 TM-2 Vertical Manifold
41022 TM-2 Race-Tuned Muffler
What a piece of kit!! Comments welcome.

Thanks guys, what a memorable build this has been for me! I’m also intending on doing another showroom entry with the OS Max 15LD-X engine and related e-1000 silencer in place of the current Tamiya set up.

I've swapped out the Tamiya FS-15RS and related parts with an O.S.Max 15LD-X and e-1000 silencer and created a second showroom entry here: [Click here]
