RCbutcher Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Could you use a diy method of the stealth mounts. It's just magnets looks cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Could you pop up a pic of the chassis please, I have loads of body mounts but the chassis your describing doesn't sound like a tl01...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjsparks Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 hi gaz heres what I have so far, not sure what the battery part looks like, what do u reckon this is?. any part much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunny Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I don't think that is a TL01 looks more like TA01 to me but I could be wrong http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tamiya-1990-Manta-Ray-TA01-4WD-rc-1-10-Car-Parts-Spares-Or-Repair-/331726471109 buy that and you should have spares you need and then some.

capri-boy Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Not a TL01, pretty certain it is (or most of it) a TA01 as Sunny suggests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Yep, definately not a tl01, more ta01/02. personally I would buy a new tub chassis for it on ebay along with new body mounts, while your at it strip clean and regreased the front and rear gearboxes and fit bearings too if not already done, then you will have a fully sorted and decent chassis there mate.

bjsparks Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 ok, yep u guys are right, ta-01... had a look online this is what I meant about battery holder... anyone seen this before or have one? gaz,. yes started from scratch cleaned and greased diffs, bearings in, will prob lock out rear after saying that as going to be a drifter.. did u have any body mounts?, this cars for my kid so trying to keep cost down, the link sunny sent was good but had no mounts and already 13 quid. cheers guys bj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunny Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Thats a quick release holder was part of hop up options range bit hard to find now. You can always cut two slots in chassis and use velcro strap like lipo people use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjsparks Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 yes I haven't found a link for that part, but I could do with speeding up pit stop times thx for the idea tho, will maybe try something like that, have some meccano spare lol, what are the parts called that the body mounts attach too? cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunny Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 As far as I know the they attach to shock tower but I cannot make out from pics whether the shock tower is part of bulkhead/gearbox case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second link is front gearbox parts incase you want them to match or you could just dye them all black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
