Tamiya TA05 B-Parts tree

[Spoolio]

Anybody got a spare set they want to sell? Both front mounts on my ebay purchase TA05 are mullered .

you mean the plastic wishbone suspension mounts?

Sorry, nope. But if you order them from fusion hobbies / Vellrip etc you will have them in less than a week. You can get funky smoke (transparent) or blue ones as well.

If you are after the posts only, you could always just get some of the GPM alloy ones.

Where are you going to race your ta05?

Will run it at the local club at Mansfield, or Broxtowe as both are fairly local to me (North Notts area). Not expecting much but should be fairly strong I hope.

I sorted the front mounts out quite easily the other night as I had the TA and my Durga side by side with the bodies off on the bench and thought "those Durga rear body mounts look like they could fit". And they do, quite nicely in fact. I'd got quite a few in my spares stash so on they went.

Just bought some TRF shocks and springs for bargain money and the car came with a spare new chassis so I'll start to rebuild it over the next week or so. I've got a "Finished Body" Ferrari shell to drop onto it when it's done. Electrics are stock TEU-101BK speedo and a black can Sport Tuned to start with all powered by a 3600mah stick pack. I'll work my way up to a 13.5 Stock Spec brushless and LiPo sometime next year.

No boss, the front body mounts. They were both "glued" to the bumper plate with something that smelt like silicone (or salt & vinegar crisps) but had the consistency of dried candle wax. In fact all the electrics were held in by the same stuff gobbed liberally all over, I had to chip it off with a decorators knife. Nice .

I'm a big fan of the ta05, its a very capable car out of the box.
