A few years ago I had a Bruiser transmission and axles chrome plated. They turned out great. The only thing is with chroming any r/c part is it's tiny nooks and crannies can't all get polished out. The front suspension arms should turn out great, but the rear might not look quite as nice and the tranny might not look as nice either.

Did someone say Pot Metal?

Started with the basic idea of SRB, pretty much keep a tiny bit of SRB and some after market structural geometry. Plenty of custom made, CNC & hand made parts too.

Together also show my out of whack Mugen Bulldog lol ;)

Really nice Tiger. 8)

The rear cage is a work of art.

Thank you for your kind words :)

Tamiya's rereleased their SRB diff with a new part number 54897. From the pictures it looks to be identical to the 84113 diff. At least the crazy prices these things fetch will stop....... for a while. :D

Last post

Thanks for letting us know. Sounds like nothing was changed. When I saw the new part number I hoped that it was going to be a new design. A diff with a bent through bolt like MIP or Thorp would have been great.

I have one of the older #84113 diffs...

I picked up a SRB Ranger awhile back, and decided to pull it out and see what it would take to refresh. I just started into a puller project, but it is starting to sink in that that is a LONG TERM project, so still needs normal builds going on.

I...

I picked up a re release rear bumper for an original car. I wasn't aware that the re release was longer. I am ready to slot the bottom holes to make it work. What have others experienced and what were your solutions for making them work?

Thanks

Last post

If my memory isn't playing games with me, the first batch of re-re Sand Scorchers came with a rear bumper/cage that didn't fit, and Tamiya exchanged them for new ones for free.

(Or maybe it was the first batch of Buggy Champs that came with faulty...

Hi:

Anyone can share a good scan of the MIP 4X400 4wd conversion for Tamiya SRB??

Thanks in advance :)

Last post

I have the instructions tucked away in an inaccessible box. What was posted above are the instructions which are really rudimentary. Basically you need to play around with the placement of the front tranny which allows the dog bones to set in a...
