TOPIC:

Dont forget the body mount, thats the best one to my taste, really bling.

the TRF501 battery plates are a bit of a tight fit, there about 1-1.5 mm to short.

the TRF mounts look like this btw.



with saddle packs

Think I need a bucket for drooling. Excellent setup.
Should be possible to fabricate some slightly longer battery plates (with proper lung protection measures)...

They arrived, hazaar! Looking good!

I'am so happy! freeby parts,
The kyosho is for my ULTIMA OUTLAW and the tam one is for the hornet or the last C11
Thanks to my hornet seller: Dave

Still, gold-pan RC10, a couple of nice motors and LOADS MORE TYRES! for £55 ain't too bad. Just have to arrange the courier now.

Seller was very accomodating and I have just received a large box today. I am well chuffed!
Pictures will follow in a new thread, but so far I've found:

4 pairs of RC10 "Kidney Bean" rear wheels with tyres in various condition (nearly all the tyres in the picture contain wheels).
One pair narrow kindey bean front wheels + tyres (another pair on the car)
Pair of Mardave Meteor front wheels + tyres
Pair of Hot Laps rear tyres which will fit my Meteor
Pair of Tamiya Fox(?) wheels with Schumacher tyres
Single Meteor "pepper pot" wheel
Vintage Proline front bumper
Toolbox with several random tools inside
Used "Trinity Monster Horsepower" motor in box
Parma Cyclone II motor box with silver can inside (Parma motor fitted to car)
Sierra Cosworth RS500 shell in very good condition
RC10 shell (I think) and wing in good nick (but I don't like the black and gold colour scheme)
Two 7.2V stick packs
Complete set of Futaba radio gear (Tx complete with battery cover)- plus an Acoms ARC-227 rx in the car.
Vintage Futaba FET ESC
Various spares including pinions, suspension arms, uprights, springs etc etc

The car itself is grubby, but complete. Chassis has a few extra holes and some scatching on the base. It has home-made (but well made) ally shock towers (the original GRP ones are in the spares), which leads me to suspect the shocks are non-original. I think it has the older 6 gear transmission, which I think it rather fragile, but this will only be run gently.
Overall it looks like this was a racer that has been well-used, but not abused.

Sorry, you Tamiya fan-boys, but I've always wanted one of these and I'm well-happy.

Edit: I forgot the Model Flight clockwork charger and 12V car battery charger (which will be useful for charging the battery in my folding camper )

A double delivery today.... finally!






A bit of a wreck!... but looking forward to restoring.








and a NIB!

Let me know how you get on.

I've just finished restoring 8 959 chassis' and about to start on the lexan's, but may put some up for sale just as they are now (need the mooolah!)





You can see them on my site: www.tamiyacrazy.com

Well actually it is in a good shape, at least the chassis.
I stil need to dissasemble the chassis in order to put my ordering list together....

On the other hand, the lexan body suffered a bit . A new TBG is already on the way and i found an original decal set from a Tamiyaclub member. The set should be arriving today

If you're looking for an original 959 decal set just keep me in touch, i have one that i will not use.

I love your site....saved it in my favorites
