Hello everyone - I have a couple of car bodies that the paint is chipping. I would like to refinish as they have the stickers on them. I seen that tamiya has a paint remover. Is this fine to use to remove all the paint or is it just for cleaning up paint bleed from tape?
thanks

No, the plastic is not as strong. But yes, lots of us have decent luck with 3D printed parts. I don't know about any of the design aspects, I just buy parts that others have designed, usually from Shapeways. I found a battery holder for the dirt thrasher on shapeways. Ordered it - lets see how it i...

Hi everyone - i also have a royal ripper that I used to enjoy, the 4 wheel drive and steering is cool. I have been thinking about selling this car also and putting the funds into acquiring something new. Is there a market for this car?

Hello - Having a hard time finding parts, specifically for a Tamiya Dirt Thrasher - parts tree E, E11, the battery holder. Does anyone know a good place to look other than ebay or just a blanket search on the web?

Thanks!

Hi - has anyone used a 3D printer for parts? My understanding is the plastic is not as strong, but I guess that would depend on what material is purchased. Any have any experience with this?

Thanks!

Hello everyone - hope everyone on the east coast is weathering well this winter. I have been an RC enthusiast since the 80's when I purchased my first rc - a Tamiya Striker, which I still have. Have collected many others for myself and my sons who mostly liked the big trucks and little mini zs.
