haha i get mines in 2 weeks

mate even threw in a brand spankin new 2.5 cc engine for 50 bux extra

its got an aluminum tail shaft

disk brakes.

2 speed tranny

and slides when its on 4wd

take off the tail shaft and it rips doughy and drifts!

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...

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.

Thats my chassis with the parts i use to help me get that good cornering.

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:

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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
