Vintage Manta Ray customisation quest 13 years 9 months ago #17805

Those orange wheels seem to fetch a high price, the shocks are about £140 for four. So yeah bargain, whoever bought that must be stoked. Pieced out you could easily triple your money :S

might triple with a lot of hassle, 175€ is a good price. You can get a set of vintage hi-caps for as low as 20€ (mine were still in original package :cheer: ) I have a feeling the TF and TF evo arent so sought after at the moment, On most of these cars the tires are dried out and the bodies sometimes not so nice (decals missing or coming off) I think if one is looking for a TF or TF evo with some luck you can score one for little.

this one was a nice buy,
no its not the real deal but has all it takes for a nice runner

What are you looking for in a top force to make it the "real deal"? Do you mean cars with the original tamiya chassis?

With real deal, I ment it would have had all the genuine TF evo parts (then it would be sale of the century ;) ), this one is a mixture of TF parts, hi-cap shocks (nice), shell with evo decals and third party wheels (and I dont think it will have the titanium screws). so 80€ is OK.

Hey guys, were any of you still looking for some FRP hex and wing mounts?
There were so many DF-01 builds of late I don't remember exactly who needed what anymore...

:blush:



Anyway, Lightwatermodels might still have some to sell separately... :y:
Oh man, anticipating on an awesome update for this build! That'll really top things off.
Hopefully more to report soon!

:huh: :woohoo:

Edou, additional to your post, it could be interesting to some, that the dyna storm also have those parts in the mount bag. This is easier to get as that frmo the top force. Than, you'll only have to get 2x2 aloy tubes with M3 winding.

Cheers, the numbers I got from Lightwatermodels are 3405029 for SD2 (which would make it a Vanquish part originally) and 3455238 for SD3 (Astute). The chassis mounts appear to be unique for the TF and can only be found in the mount bag itself.
Unless anybody knows differently of course...
