That carbon setup from cty300 was the one with the damage wasn't it?

yeah.. already having thoughts of doing a coat of laquer.. but when can I find an undercowl?

Yes Snappy. the top Deck has a damage but it's fixable and on the otherhand If I have the original I can recreate as many plates as I want with a friends CNC

Thanks... but the ebay store is closed

Building and restoring vintage cars does take a tiny bit of patience.

No issue, as long as you are aware of it, you got it for a great price,

I have been looking at that set for quite a long time, but I was in luck and found an original TF Evo top and bottom deck in Australia.

The ebay store will open very soon, Canada post is on strike, as soon as the strike is over the store will open

The price was without the steering assembly and the servo mounts so I ordered the ball raced ones from Atees
got the gpm steering assembly which has ball bearings

also the GPM servo mounts

and something to cool the HW 1060 down
www.asiatees.co...&model=All

also got a set of tires for the Tamiya F-103 and that will also be ready to drive after that. .

The red gearbox from Banzai Hobby arrived earlier with SAL shipping(slowest ever)
than the black one from tamico.de
gave the car another run first time with the new radio and all seems fine
gottal love 2.4ghz... no glitching
waiting for the FRP chassis and the oil seals so that I can install my hi caps.. that will change the look of the car completely..
then I will take a brake and give some of the cash for leisure (iron Maiden concert in Rome) and Planes.
next up the FRP/carbon fiber mounts

one other issue is th servo saver... it's too soft an won't turn properly

It looks nice

Some samples of FRP chassis.
