Cool Tamiya TOP FORCE !!! FEEL THE FORCE !!!

Hi all,

I have purchased a Tamiya Top Force off a fellow Oopler. It came and was in near mint condition.

It came with a few spares new, spares used, full carbon kit new, blue king pins, new original body, undertray, wing and sticker sheet.

I have ordered a few BLING STING parts for it and fingers crossed should be here this week. Once they are fitted I will post pictures of the Top Force.

I have spent most of today spraying the shell, wing, undertray and adding the stickers. Took Gainsys advice from a previous post. Sent the Mrs out shopping today so I could instantly get in the garage as it was Mothers Day. YEAH BABY !!!

This is going to be my runner for the Iconic..........

Here are some pictures of the finished body etc.....

I'm in Top Force mode at the moment too. I picked up a good condition Top Force on Fleabay which is getting cleaned up. I also picked up a cheap Manta Ray with a load of Top Force option bits mixed and matched into it.

I am in the middle of creating a home cut C/F chassis to take a shorty lipo across it + a matching home cut C/F top deck. I was thinking about using the Manta Ray bits to build on to this chassis as a vintage RC runner.

The original Top Force will get used but less abused!

I'll post some pics when I get the work done.
