i just missed out on buying a TA-05 rc car from the sale threads in these forums... dahmm to late... and it was only $110 for the whole kit...

im really interested in buying one... do you guys recommend any other online websites that you use to buy you rc stuff...

iv herd mixed reviews about RC-Mart

i might just look around RC forums for something second hand to come up again...

or some1 could organise a group buy on RTR RC drift cars... maybe the TT-01D...

They are the two places I used when not going to a LHS or looking for specialist items.

frontline hobbies is where i get all my hobby parts from and even my tt01-Type E

they have heaps more in shop than the site shows.

I am thinking of getting a TT-01 type D but i duno if it would be worth it. The type E lets me go fast and not have a such bad time as the normal TT01 when doing 80km would be impossible for it.

R33's are indeed rare. Getting your hands on the road going version is virtually impossible but I was lucky enough to score a couple of brand new R33 GTR N1 kits (now sold).

The wide body race spec R33's aren't my thing.

You can spot the Sard Supra too. Hard to get stuff.

For R32's, HPI make them for around 50 bucks. They lack the detail of Tamiya but will be fine if your looking at using it as basher.

hey AU92 are you still in contact with the guy who bought the R33?

ive searched all of ebay US, europe, malaysia and oz and found nothing

even if you find a banged up POS shell destined for the bin

pm me please! i want to make moulds and make up my own copy

Wow.. I got to the level with my TT01 where the next thing to do was start upgrading all the control arms with alloy bits etc then decided not too.. it's hard to justify spending 3x the original price of the car!

I have some TT01 hopups I could be persuaded to part with..

yeah but i did get them at a good price of like $175 all up and the guy that i see all the time at the hobby shop only gave me what it needed. The type E is good for racing but i do want a Type D to drift....

i probily wouldnt part with the rims because i don't think tamiya make them separately and there sweet quality :P

My NiMH stickpacks are dying so when I went to get some new rims for my truck yesterday.. had a look at some LiPo's.. my brushless can handle up to 3S but I can only physically fit 2S in the chassis.. it's like a $400 excercise to go LiPo! so I guess it can wait until my real skyline is back on the road :thumbsup:

$400 for lipos? U planning on racing or something? Or was that a few batteries. Ive seen plenty of well prices lipos online that will do the job for drifting, and a lot cheaper than the LHS wants for the same thing

Hey,

Yeh I do but i highly doubt he'll part out the body with the kit and even if he did you'd be looking at a VERY large amount for the body alone

As for Lipo's. They are cheap nowadays. Just make sure you look after them as I've heard of Lipo's exploding

The shell is unpainted and still in plastic inside the original box.

So the most I can take is a pic of the box lol.

Not really willing to sell, unless I'm made a fantastic offer I can't refuse. ITS REALLY RARE!

    • Did a little bit on the V37 today. I bought this LED kit out of the US https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/125953603618. Best I could find online but didn't look great, in the end the quality was pretty much right and it did come with locations for each light including rear number plate and a few spares. The factory owners' manual was also useful with information on where to pop each light out without damage. I prefer the LED look as I use it daily including at night and the LEDs are both brighter and the white light is easier to read with. Vanity mirror comparison, LEDs just look more modern The glove box was the only difficult one (and the only one that was previously blown.....), steps were Open glovebox 50% but not fully open Push up on bottom of the box to unclip it on both side, not screws or pins to remove Remove the top stays at an angle, right side then left, because.... Before dropping the glovebox totally, remove soft close clip on left Then, remove 7 screws to release the glovebox surround Twist the globe holder anti clock to release it from the surround In this case, the LED globe supplied was wider than factory and did not fit, so I ground down each side about 1mm then inserted it Last trick, start engine to check the LED polarity is correct, the globe only operates when the engine is running (whether the box is open or closed) I also moved the 4G booster and wifi across from the Fuga, a little frustrating as I could not find a good Accessories ACC source anywhere in the boot so I'll run a wire from the cabin next time I get a chance. Also, unlike the Fuga the external antenna wire does not quite fit between the rear windscreen and the body so I think I'll have to drill a hole in the roof to mount it. Probably not that interesting for most people so I'll just post once complete
    • Pretty sure I could do but it would need to be exported and reimported as the current import approval is race only. But in practice there are plenty of other practical reasons it can't be a road car despite their potential value these days like stripped interior looms, cage to cut out etc Nah, no mods to it other than updating the roll age to current regs. It makes about 350 (laggy) kilowatts on the N1s at 18psi which is enough to push it around the place
