bump

still looking for spares, got the wing sorted, just mechanicals now, no matter how small i may still be interested!

also - colours - what do you use to get the best matches to the real deal?

(mods - will stop bumping this one now...)

Hi,
which P34 did you get ? the original version or the FRP F103 rere version? and what do you need?
I bought the rere and drove it at Wrexam last year.Biggus ditchus video-d it going round,handled like a dog on the shelf rubber tyres but as soon as i put foams on it was transformed and really sweet to drive,looks superb as well

Hey Twisty!

Yeah I got the original version not the re-re. I figured i'd never be able to afford 58001 or 58002 for now so went next best with the P34! plus i think it one of the more interesting Tamiya designs too (this is of course, very subjective). For some reason, the newer Tamiya's just don't interest me as much as the older ones

I think I have got myself a good un off ebay, most of the major parts are there and i think the remaining parts can be either found or made...

For starters, any suggestions on what motor & battery combo I should be using? The old school battery packs ( C(UM2) or battery box) look quite pony and i dont think it'd go very fast/last very long ? I will install a 580 motor into it i think and I will also probably wire it up using an esc and standard stick pack if it fits

ok so parts needed for now...

- Part K1 & P1 - links the right hand wheels to the left hand (or vica versa), quite easily found on ebay

- Park K3 x 2 - to hold the body on to the chassis - http://www.tamiyabase.com/parts/images/350/50037.jpg - i think this is the one http://www.rx7-store.com/shop/tamiya...-90000335.html

- 2 x N1 (Battery Box and relevant connector parts)

- Manual Speed Controller http://www.tamiyabase.com/parts/images/350/50010.jpg

any suggestions on where to look (no need to be rude here )

TBH this is quite a simple rc car in terms of number of parts etc, just need to start taking it apart and getting it back together..!

I'll get some pics up of it in the near future, still working on a couple of other projects, finishing of a madcap for my bro, a bigwig for myself and now this little baby!

I bought my one from Dinball ,Factory finished version,it uses the black sport tuned 540 and stock Tamiya ESC,the battery is a special short stumpy 7.2v Nicad [1700NP,part number 49171]and came with both sets of tyres,rubber for show and foams for running.
The start of the vid is on rubber[well thats my excuse]



I don`t think i can help you with any parts for yours ,with it being the original and very different under the skin,feEbay or a wanted add on Tamiyaclub might be your best chance.

I`ll have to get some better outdoor stills,the weekend is looking good.
