Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / November 2005More Tamiya help needed.
I've just noticed that quite a few hop-ups aren't available under their old codes, but I've also noticed that there are hop-ups similar. Is there some sort of conversion chart to say what the old/new hop-up codes are? Just take for example 53028, (universal shaft.) I can't find it under the old code, so maybe it does still exist, but under a new code. TIA (again) Pagey  SignatureTake note of the face, vacant, yet with a hint of sadness.

For instance I found that the A-Arms and other suspension components from the TG-10 actually fit on a TA01/02 (the back needs a bit of Filing but a very nice fit).

I always wanted to get into racing, just never had the money for it. > I've just noticed that quite a few hop-ups aren't available under their old > codes, but I've also noticed that there are hop-ups similar. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Pagey Just a thought. Maybe we can collectively figure it all out and set a web page with these details.

[quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Steph Funnily enough, I was thinking the same thing. A MASSIVE conversion chart, I can imagine a LOT of people would benefit from it. :) Atm I'm keeping my eye out for Top Force and Manta Ray parts, (and there are a few more out there that are very similar.) *brainwave* What we do need is a picture reference to the part, (no point giving part number and explanation, as parts differ wildly.) Then all we need to do is cross reference every part, If any part looks similar then we check to see if they are 100% compatible. So basically in the end, each part will have a picture reference and any other tree/part sharing the same part will be included with it. So we'll probably find out that a lot of kits share the same part, (I hope.) :) Another idea would be for when everyone takes pictures of individual parts, to use gird paper to get actual sizes. At least matching parts will become easier. :) Pagey out..... >>>I've just noticed that quite a few hop-ups aren't available under their >>>old codes, but I've also noticed that there are hop-ups similar. [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > > Pagey out..... Going all out would be a massive undertaking but I am sure it could actually pay off in the end. We can start with a grid of what is already out there like in the Tamiya products catalogs. May be easier to pick a model and go from that. ie. Taisan Porsche- same as or very similar to Skyline, 300zx and how many others? then go into what else will fit onto these. For instance. I know that the Boomerang Steering knuckles are the same as my TA02(so much for new molds). There is so much detail that can be inserted into these pages. It will take some time to decifer and set it up so it is understandable and user friendly. I will start setting up a chart in excel for now with what I know and what is in my old Tamiya Catalogs. Once done I can put that up and elaborate on it once we get updates. I can setup a sub domain form my site like tampartschart.macphreak.com or somthing shorter like (Tamiya parts comparison chart) tpcc.macphreak.com and if it gets enough hits then I can purchase an actual domain for it. I think I am getting ahead of myself but that's the way it is when I am on a roll......
