Re: Things that irritate you

Re: Tamiya Top Force - A slight problem

Tamiya should have included a M4 die in the tool bag and called it a one of one limited edition kit. I did how ever gain another box wrench that I don't need.

Re: Tamiya Top Force - A slight problem

Amain has one but the part number is 50808. https://www.amainhobbies.com/tamiya-tg10-rear-wheel-axle-tam50808/p124214 https://www.rcmart.com/tamiya-tg10-wheel-axle-2-pcs-silver-50823-00081777?search=top%20for...
