Any decent ThunderTiger stockists in UK?

[Furness Nitro Head]

Hi i just wondered does anyone have problems getting ThunderTiger Parts here in the UK.

I had problems in past with my EB4 S3 and now ive just bought a SparrowHawk and and i am still finding it impossible to source parts.

Any info would be appreciated.

My friend has a thunder tiger eb4 s2 pro. and he buys all his parts from Roundabout toys.

I've found Roundabout toys to have a good range of TTR parts, but they don't stock the newer cars, so whilst they might be able to help with the EB4, I'm not so sure about the Sparrowhawk

Try mk models in weymouth..he got tt parts in the shop..as we looked in there on holiday....and he sells on ebay aswell...

Try modelsport they stock parts for it

got a quite a few thundertiger models and getting spares for them is pretty bad as the uk distributor is crap tbh, can take months for a motor mount etc to arrive when my local model shop orders it in for me.

 

its a pity as the models are pretty good just the wait time on spares is horrible

Have you tried either Antics or Wonderland Models, both have been TT stockists in the past.

That's because it's over 4 years old, and the TT importer has changed several times sine then.

 

Parts supply has always been an issue with these cars, which is a shame.

interested to know who the current importer is. ive been offered a sparrowhawk vx and was wondering about parts. also im after a rough market value as i cant find many for sale...

To be honest after the experience I had with my MTA4 S50 I wouldnt buy another Thunder Tiger. Not that I am saying that the S50 was a bad car far from it but after just six months of ownership the spares availablity was practically zero. No one stocked any spares at all. There was stuff on Ebay but if you wanted a gear that was a fiver when available, now you had to buy a complete gearbox for anything up to £100. I ended up breaking my S50 up due to it stripping a gear the size of a 5 pence piece and new ones not available anywhere and I mean, anywhere.

Shame that. Did you try amain and such in the u.s.? Also the MGT 8.0 by team Associated is basically the same truck with different part no's and has reasonable spares available.

I did ditch my E-MTA when tower hobbies just suddenly stopped parts support tho  I did go thru a hell of a lot of bulkheads in that thing. Not that strong.

Yeah I knew about the MGT 8.0 but same situation. I did think about importing but the wait whilst the stuff was delivered would have drove me insane with no RC to use.

I know what you mean, it has got a damn sight better tho. 8 days or less in most cases  

[dazp1976]

As for the original op question. Try not to break it! I can't see much availability at all

I have no problem getting parts for my TT tomahawk st. I know the sparrowhawk was never that popular so will prob be a bit harder to find parts for but the eb4 shouldn't be that hard. what parts are you actually looking for maybe I can help
