:: blade :: Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 hi all new to the site, just rebuilt my tamiya TL01 which has been in the loft in bits since 2004, i have a few hopups for it somewhere, a few ally bits and bobs, but unfortunatly i cant find them at the mo, but the bits that have been fitted are Mod list so far: Oil filled damper set Ally prop shaft Carbon gear shafts full bearing kit full driveshafts speed tuned gears the set of wheels i have, unfortunatly i have lost 2 of them as a whole i want to make it into a carpark drifter/racer so will be making some adjustable top arms and steering arms for it, i cant find a decent shell for it where it has the light pods incuded, as i want to run leds with it im after a Celica GT4 shell but i know they are quite rare so will be looking for a good drift type car things i need to get: better battery and charger faster motor and ESC hope someone can helpwth the bits i need, and to get a shell that will fit cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuttyProfessor Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Ive recently bought a a TL01 but its missing the rear wing and i took all the decals off it, looks like an RS, TT01 shells fit it so getting a new shell wont be a problem, the 07 subaru montecarlo comes with full rally gear and light buckets.

:: blade :: Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 the speed tuned gears are plastic, were the only ones i could find at the time of buying them will be keeping the focus shell unfotunatly, as its in decent condition so will be keeping all the shells i get, as i binned my last ones which i wish i hadnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

:: blade :: Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 oooh, tbh i dont know if these speed tuned gears will do much as ive had them 4yrs or so and only just put them in the chassis, well i lost my old chassis so bought the standard one with the bits above and fitted all my modded parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
