Wow, what a car. I had a hopped up original Top Force for years and it was amazing but since they are fairly common I have invested in the rarer Evo. Great buy from fellow member Monty. The car was superb, the body was truly awful. Thanks to DI Joe for the new body and decals (Top Man).
The car now sports Carbon Prop shaft, Carbon Gear shafts, Alloy front and rear uprights plus Alloy knuckles, Tamiya TRF Acto 12 turn motor (circa 1993 and cheap alternative to Dynatech without the stupid brushes). Tamiya Alloy Hexes, plus it also has the TA02 Anti roll bar fitted along with new bottom arms all round.
Stunning car but really only slightly better than the Green Top Force to use. So collectable though.
P.S its an original Evo too with the correct upper chassis, not a hopped up Top Force.
Spot the pretty rare TRF acto power 12 turn

So it's got a full titanuim screw set then has it ? and the original gearbox and springs ? ? I'm just being petty, it's a lovley looker

Now now Malcolm, the only non Titanium screws are on the rear roll bar and front upright (yes I still have the ones I removed) Gearbox parts are right on the money too. Its Totally totally Evo.

Well youve gota listen to Evoman mate, Because he does know everything about everything!
Gorgeous car lad, So pleased you have one at last. They are a true Tamiya classic, with everything thrown at them. Like the Supershot to start with, then the Egress, Then this!
Mr.Ce
whats the difference, between the evo gears and std ta01 please.
very cool chassis, i am still trying to locate a good one.

Cheers Mark, I think the Supershot maybe one for the future to complete the hopped up 4wds. Evoman will answer your Ta01 gear question better than me.

Not bad, I suppose.....
Just kidding mate, that is really nice, will it ever be run???
jimbo4042
Its already been run, it will always be a runner.

Mate thanks to you and this force I am again a poor man! Simply had to get one as well! With the TRF motor and the new body set you have added this has to be right up there as one of the best `standard` evos on the site. **message for gingerboy99, if you looking in...get your top force sorted mate and come up and play!!!!!!

Just added a 90 qid Futaba servo and 40meg reciever to the mix. Great cars.
Evoman
The Top force spur gear comes in 2 parts and the alloy one is lightweight as the idel gear is plastic unlike TA-01's
