Does anyone know where to get original Tamiya hop-ups? I've found a few but not all, I need to know if 3rd party parts can be used?

Also, many of the TA01/TA02 hop ups will work too. Take a look at http://asiatees.com The only major differences are Shocks, Shock Towers, A-Arms and Dogbones. Most of the rest can be interchanged between the TA01/02 and the Manta Ray. In other words, your Buggy can easily be converted into a Sedan, Rally car or Desert racer type truck.

I'm looking for better universals and I think I remember seeing a carbon driveshaft linking the back box to the front. Pagey > I've just drooled over the nice alu parts.

Now these are very rare indeed. I am still looking for one of those Gray front gearcases that were on the Taisan Porshe. Have you seen my latest Custom Tamiya? http://clod.macphreak.com/TA02.html Steph >> I've just drooled over the nice alu parts.

But this is even better..... http://www.fusionhobbies.com Both the Manta Ray and Top Force are to be released again sometime next month. :) Pagey > But this is even better..... > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Pagey Yes I saw them on the tamiya site http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=58360 http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=58362 The Frog too http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=58354 Thundershot http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=58361 >> But this is even better..... >> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Thundershot > http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=58361 At least it should be easier to get hold of parts soon. :) > Does anyone know where to get original Tamiya hop-ups? > > I've found a few but not all, I need to know if 3rd party parts can be > used? > > Paggle Search for victor101car on ebay.co.uk . He does original Tamiya parts and hop-ups, not used. Hop-ups are retail packaged and some parts are retail packaged and some from kit splits. HTH Peter |
