Noj Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Thanks for the input chaps, I'll check out those links and get myself sorted before the kit arrives from Timetunnel (eBay store). One of those models I yearned after and have, for many, many months hovered over buying....sold a few bits on the bay and decided now was the time. May even get some pics up....maybe....lol.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 So, CRP bumpers, one chap on the bay selling 8 'originals' with no packaging, or one from Australia with ridiculous postage, in packet.... Couple of adjustable motor mounts, however I think they are for 380 cans? AmPro bits ordered though, figured when treating oneself to a new rig.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV Pilot Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Ah yes, the CRP adjustable motor mount. Forgot about that one! It is for 540 motors, in case none of the included kit ratios are to your liking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Just picked up this TGX MK1 for £50 as a non runner. No idea if that was a good price as i've no idea what it's really worth. Need to strip and clean the engine and tank, but other than that it looks barely used. My first Tamiya and first onroad car so I know nothing about these or what shells are available for it as I don't like Skylines lol Edited August 10, 2016 by Pistonhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMaxxDave Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 Id say £10-20 too much for a non runner but thats my personal choice. Shell wise. They take a 1/8th size shell to memory. Sent from my Galaxy S5 Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV Pilot Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Looks like a fun project. I know relatively little about the nitro side of Tamiya's product lineup. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it and reading your impressions of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 A mate wanted me to get it running for him, second i saw it i made him an offer lol Had a closer look at it at lunch, shocks still full by the feel of them, naff all wear on any of the visible drivetrain. Will have to get some 2.4gig radio in it and use a spair life rx pack to power it up. engine needs a complete strip down before cleaning - it's not seized, just very hard to turn over because of the gunk left by fuel in the crankcase. hoping this'll just cost a new plug to get running as this looks like a fun fast car park queen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMaxxDave Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 Tamiya make a lovely Subaru body that will fit these. The Tamiya engines are fairly good from the experience I've had with them, I'd happily have another, £50 off a mate knowing the engine isn't seized is a fair price, I thought you'd bought it unseen as a roller.

Pistonhead Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 What engines are good for these if this one turns out to be a dud? Anything 1:10 scale i presume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first Tamiya and first onroad car so I know nothing about these or what shells are available for it as I don't like Skylines lol I got over £80 for a TGX MK1 rolling chassis the other week with quite a few parts missing so yes it looks like you did very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small block. Dont really need anything bigger or faster than a .15/.18 ideally. Sent from my Galaxy S5 Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMaxxDave Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Thread up up and away. Looking for a hi torque servo saver. But ive seen a couple. Which is suitable for tt02b? Sent from my Galaxy S5 Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV Pilot Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 The Tamiya high-torque servo saver comes with two alternative output arms, each of which has three mounting locations for the ball connector. I believe the longer arm using one of the outer connector locations ought to do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMaxxDave Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 Im well impressed with them. My sons Madbull is running very hot. Wont pass the 5 second finger test. Will dropping from a 19t to 17t pinny help? Sent from my Galaxy S5 Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV Pilot Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 It would certainly be a move in the right direction. What motor are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMaxxDave Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 Just the silver can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV Pilot Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Aye, going back to the stock 17t (or better - its steel equivalent) would suit the motor far better. 2 teeth may not seem like a big difference, but on 0.8 module pinions, they are big teeth!

TMaxxDave Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 I've got the stock alloy 17t so I'll stick that back in and replace it once it's died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
