Recommended Posts

If anyone wants a Tamiya TA04R with hop-ups and a 1-off custom Esso Ultraflo JGTC Shell with the hand controller batteries spare motor etc...then let me know :)

 

It's ready to race (just make sure you don't use the Supra shell!! It comes with 2 others (350z and an NSX))

 

I've not used it let alone raced it...could bear to damage it after building it, doh.

My friend who runs a model shop in Norwich (Kellers) made it for me...the shell cost £100! This was becasue it was made from different kits. The transfers took about 6 months to source!

 

The TA04-R is basically the best chassis Tamiya make for the semi-pro electric racer. It's half carbon half polycarbonate.

 

I feel a pic coming on of the workings...

Hope this satisfies some curiosity...looking at one of the pics the engine is labelled as a 12x2...this is way way more powerful/faster than the original engine.

 

It come with 3x3300Mah battery packs (the best I could get at the time) which have been cycled a couple of times...and treated as per the manufacturers guidelines.

 

The Battery charger connects to a car battery. NOT THE MAINS!

 

The Steerwheel controller is bloody brilliant :) I personally find these much much easier than traditional controllers.

 

The V3 speed controller is unlimited...(can control any motor) and doesn't have a reverse, which is normal in race cars.

 

There are other assorted spares like springs and a different set of wheels.

 

I've probably spent over £600 on all the gear...and never used it.

 

Now you know that, I'm open to offers...it's worth what someone will pay for it, but I like it as an ornamant so I'm in no hurry ;)

I probably would mate but the no reverse and no mains charger really puts me off.

 

I am a noob when it comes to these things but I have been waffling about buying one of them Yokomo drift Supra's. How does this compare to one of them if you know ?

Exactamundo. Just stick on drift tyres and you have a drift moster, full adjustable suspension.

 

The speed controller is what decides if it can go backwards or not...like I said racing ones don't they just slam on the anchors. (I think the idea is to not crash ;) :p )

 

The speed controller could be replaced easily enough though.

 

As for the charging thing...well, I used to use a spare car battery...and charge that with a mains based car battery charger if it got low. You could buy a converter to run off the mains too though.
