I bought this one long time ago from Ruderat and started to restore it, but never finished it. Now in some spare hours I removed all the paint f the paintjob that I did earlier as it was already battered again while bashing arround. Color is orange electric (Ford focus color) with a plastic primer underneath, but this pimer was a bit to agressive for this old plastic :-S anyway I managed to get it more or less right. Build in my Thorp Diff as well! Came to the conclusion that the nuts of the shaft/axle is a different M4 size then the standard Tamiya. Still looking for a pair that will fit.

Let me guess, you were talking about the WHEEL NUTS required on that pair of Thorp axles??? It doesn't read quite that way 'bold of the shaft', but I know the axles don't take a standard Tamiya 4mm wheel nut. I will dig mine out and send you a mail of what to look for.

hehe you are correct Crash Cramer! Changed it to nuts. Anyway that would be great if you could do that! Just went to some toolshops and they just do not have these nuts. it is M4 but the wire is just different. For the time being I put on some plastic nuts...
