Dads203 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Dug out my TA06 Pro and found a few bits n pieces that I forgot about. ( plus a few new that I have acquired ) Not used this since 2012 ish, but are the spares getting harder to find for these now? I found a few bits n bobs but having been out of the hobby for a few years it looks like most of the stuff I have is now obsolete or OOP which is a real pain. Even getting a receiver for my Spektrum DX 3S was a real nightmare, my other set is a Futaba 3VC which is now even harder to find RX and crystals for almost like rocking horse s5it. I used to race 1/10 on road nitro years and years ago but bought the TA06 Pro and TT01 when my wife's nephew got into RC cars, we used to run them on one of the local industrial estates and had great fun, he then found women and beer and it all fizzled out for some reason I've got the urge to race again hence digging this one out, but the hobby has really moved on since I last seriously looked. Looks like a rebuild coming up Dan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisT Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Done too much today for pics. De-tinted the Escort WRC ready for the cockpit. Made another front bib for the Escort WRC out of cockpit off cuts. Decaled the tyres for the Escort WRC. De-tinted the Nismo R34 Z-Tune ready for a cockpit, this will be a RHD touring car set painted up as some office dude, won't be using the supplied helmet head but the head from a Subaru Brat sprue, thanks to @big gaz for the recommendation Started painting the cockpit set for the Nismo, he won't be covered in racing decals but I do intend to print out a tie and watch (when I get some printer ink) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only lasted 2 mins before it threw the driveshaft. Derp. Get some Unis asap, a dog bone popping can cause the castor block and knuckle to snap.
