Hi guys!
Sorry for my bad language I'm french

I am rebuilding a rm 01 956 tamiya vintage and I am looking for an original speed controler. Can you say me where Ican find it? There is no one on ebay.
Thanks for tamiyabase I am fan. I give some docs and photos later.

Welcome stingray-63.

That's a very cool car. Don't have a speed controller but you might get lucky here on the site if there aren't any on eBay.
You could put an ad on the home page to up your chances.

Thanks a lot
I am not a pro of forums it is the first I connect
you are very friendly.
My first tamiya was a grass hopper and I was infected by the virutam.
Thanks for looking

Mine too. That's a nice pair of Hoppers you got there.
Don't hesitate to ask if you'd like to know anything about how the forum works.

Welcome on board, stingray-63

I was a big fan of Stingray for a while myself ... apart from the end theme ...

Marina, aqua marina, what is that enchanting smell of fish whenever you're near?

... or something like that




But, I digress.

I haven't seen a speed control of that type for sale in the last couple of years, but I haven't been specifically looking, so could have missed plenty - good luck with finding one

A Grasshopper was also my first RC car

Hi jonny,
I found this hopper a lot of years later I killed the first and It was in very good condition. The manual is the evolution with bec system and just the oscars was missing. These ones are academy ones. I had some parts to make a self made runner. I am collecting tamiyas since some years. I have some lunch box (my favorite) and some other cars witches served to adds in magazines in France as the nitro dymax traxxas and the clio MRC 1/4.
this forum is very fun and friendly

houba houba vroum vroum!!!!!!!!!!!
I received my main frame for my rm01
1/12th is back
I put a peugeot 205 kyosho on before the real porsche body set. this one will wait next month!!!
I will take a vintage hitec sp520 speed controller in a first time.
good days to come!

Hi edou
thanks for your welcome
this grasshopper 11 is brand new and had never seen a cell pack. my first hopper2 is modified with lunch box wheels as the mad bull but 10 years before it. That desappointed me. It was very fun to drive it with a 540 motor.
For the street I prefer my ta02 limited edition and my clio ff01. there are some better chassis. Better than ta03 for leisure drive.

Sounds like we have similar interests...
Apart from the Grashopper being my first car, I like on road chassis a lot but most of my time has been going into DF-01s.
Those cars are closely related to the TA02 - and somewhat to the FF-01, which was supposed to be a FWD TA02 at first.

We love pictures and build threads a lot by the way!

small question!
I bought a black foot body in my favourite shop and when I restored it, I seen that it has not ford letters on the front. Is it normal?
