Help!

Where can I get a set of these wheels?

I've E-mailed Paragu2000 twice through E-bay's message service....but no luck.

Does anyone else carry these?

I'm looking for this exact style for a Baja Bug project.

Met up wit fellow TC member Crash Cramer today for a run. He brought his Nissan King Cab and VW Beetle. I brought my XC Brat, vintage Grasshopper, and Datsun 240Z rally car. Had a good time and did'nt break anything for once.

well had this kit for a while. it started as a Hotshot Re-re Kit. But i had a hotshot II runner (beat to hell). So i salvaged the body and Bottom Battery Plate from it (different than that crappy fiberglass thing with bodyclips..

Restored the...

I got this in an rc12l lot on ebay. I don't know too much about these but I thought it was cool it still had the original box and paperwork.

I was cleaning out my closet and found this from years back. I believe they sold them at KB toys and had a few different Tamiya models. 1/32nd scale I think and were called 'Juniors'. Has a little Mabuchi motor and runs on two AA batteries. Not R/C...

Since everyone is complaining about the lack of threads regarding new projects, I was able to muster up some time to get this project just about completed, short of bending the wing wire and putting on some shocks. This project has been center stage...

G'day Guys
Finally finished my sons Sand Scorcher. Took it for its first run yesterday. Very Cool.
Sits on a custom alloy chassis, adjustable oil filled coil overs, Sport tuned motor, fully ballraced.
Not the best pics but I will get some better...

Well, I convinced the wife to get up early last weekend to get to the sales right when they open, and I am glad I did! I scored this lot of a clod rtr with some nice hopups, a HPI RS4 rtr and a basket case nitro RS4. All for $100 :D The clod had a...

The Heavy Metal Lunchbox thread got me motivated to freshen up my LB with some upgrades.
These are some pics of the CRP front end conversion kit that I just recently installed(much better photos than the ones I previously posted). The kit is made...

i had a sand scorcher that was heavily modded. it had a aftermarket ball diff and 48 pitch brass internal gears. it was the same layout as the steath!! i just wanted to point out that tamiya had it right the first time. i sold the ultimate collector...

Dont see much about the old Super Sabre.Anybody into them?

I was able to squeeze some project time in today to get this CRPed Re-re frog off the in process table (short of a body). My CRP stash is running a bit thin these days, but I tried to muster up as many parts that could with what I have left. Also...

I was looking at my re realise Hot shot and original one to notice the springs seem longer on the new re kit.

Has anyone else noticed this.

Are they different or has age taken there toll on them.

Thanks.

This truck has JG shock mounts and front shock tower brace. Parma spindles. And a few CRP parts. I mounted a roll bar on the lexan body with some repro KC decals . I had to make some 1/8 inch spacers for the front roll bar mount to level it out. I...

I bought this for my son, me and the wife assembled (mostly her) and I painted.
Had to be bright so he could see it well. Overall a very fun kit to build! It's got full bearings, and I will be dropping in a Sport tuned motor as soon as I get it...

I am all for the re-release thing, making stuff that is out of reach in terms of cost available to everyone, BUT COME ON ALREADY, where is the new stuff. Yes, I know there are some new releases mixed in, but the re-res seem to over shadow/out number...

Not sure if anyone saw this.

I bought these for my Hummer project but found some different ones I like better? what do these go to? Thanks

I started this project with a pile of old TA02 parts originally from a Promarkt Mercedes Benz C class. I then collected some new bearings, Hummer parts, which are exactly the same except they come in black, and replaced a few worn parts, so I now...

Was wondering, since I have been having a hard time figuring out how to do the 1.9 conversion up front. ANy help is appreciated, and if you can help with the 1.9 conversion even better.

Since it is not a secret that Tamiys is going to re-re the SRBs soon and a lot of SRB guys would not mind a 4wd conversion, I think we shall try to petition one of the aftermarket manufacturers to also develop a SRB 4wd conversion kit or simply...

Does anyone know where i can buy some steel areials from a Hot Shot or Boomerang.???

Ive tried e bay but couldnt find any.

Thanks .

I found this 84 or 85 bruiser this last week. Fella bought it second hand in 1985 and only drove it a few times. Lots of original still on the tree spare parts as well. Obviously missing the rear view mirror, but also had the tires changed (dry rot...

A few years back i was blessed whilst trawling through ebays vintage section when I came across a MINT condition FAV. At $250usd I was stoked to finaly have a flawless example.
Unfortunately I needed some money in a hurry a while back and it was...

Ive had this for MONTHS, and have been chompin at the BITS to get started. Finally got the Wife to let me buy the Tires I needed, so here we go.
This is what I got.

Assembled, with tires. Will (eventually) get 31mm, Offset Wheels all around....

Are new or NOS Rough Rider wheels & tires hard to find for a reasonable amount?

I saw a set of 1.75 Centerline style aluminum wheel covers on E-bay that would look great on a current project.

I've got a set of 1.50 proline wheels, and would get...

I just picked this up recently on Craiglist. I drove about a hour to pick it up and ended up spending another hour talking rc with the seller and tinkering around with the car before I went home. Its actually a Celica Gr.b with the Porsche body set...

All it took was to crash a Kawada RX430, then graft the debris onto a F103 :)

I've been looking at the new Tamiya Lamborghinis. They look pretty cool. They've got the 1/12 Tamtech version, and the 1/10 TT-01E version. I've never had either platform. Anybody have any experience with either of those chassis'? Will the Tamtech...

I'm looking at ditching the stck friction 'shocks' :shock: on my M-03 and I was thinking maybe some Associated RC18B shocks might do the trick-Has anyone tried this,or know the measurements of the RC18B shocks?
Or another option,besides the Tamiya...

Hi guys,thought I would share some pics of my Tamiyas.I promised myself I wouldnt buy anymore Tamiya cars around 6 months ago and have somehow ended up with more.Just love those scale looks.My favorite and most recent edition is my Supershot.The...

Here is how I did the swaybar on my Frog. Used Losi hardware.
The center shaft is a cut down Savage bulkhead tube,notched for e-clips.
Going to make new sideplates out of carbon this week (vintage ones look like ass).
Will road test later (rain) and...

This is my finally finished Wild one. It will be raced in the up coming Sydney Vintage meet, I have transplanted the entire rear end from a RE RE frog into the Wild one, making it very reliable.
I would have had better actin pics but my 8 year old...

I just totally stole a Technigold motor in great working condition for $10!
The only problem is,the decal had been removed,which is also why I got it so cheap-the guy advertised it as an old Mabuchi motor !
Is anyone printing repro Technigold...

does anyone know what size hex these are?

are the hexes the same size as the ultima/optima? or different?

Just finished my BRE Datsun 510 for my Mini race car.We race on Wednesday nights in a control class with the Tamiya sports tuned or hobby wing system,its heaps of fun.Something tells me she will look worse for ware after the meet.I am very happy...
