TOPIC:

It was VERY cheap.

It has a nice Top Force Body with spoiler, BUT painted in white, even when it won't look wrong, I prefer Metal Green.

The Faux Force bit comes due to the fact that it is a Top Force, but someone replaced the carbon parts for Manta Ray ones (plastic), my plan is replacing them for Aluminum painted Anthracite black (as soon I can get hold of decent plans of the Carbon parts). Or, does anybody makes those parts in Carbon on 2016?

It needs a little more besides the carbon parts, you will need the alloy chassis mount posts and J-parts too.
Those are soo hard to get and probably expensive too that it makes more sense to wait for a original state TF to come by and score that one. They do occasionaly appear on online fleamarkets for around 80-90€ if you are lucky

edit, or did they only replace the shock mounts ? maybe post some pictures

Top Force carbon parts can be ordered here:

I see... still prefer to make my own parts, also, thanks to TommieG, I'm ready to take some measurements of a present Top Force part (like separation of Front Diff box bolt holes) to extrapolate correct dimensions of all the chassis, then I apply them to TommieG chassis image/plan then I can get the chassis machined in a local shop for the ultimate Cheapskate Force

oh, I appreciate highly if someone posts the Alloy mounts height

search the forum for top force, there should be a thread about one where I posted sketches from the plates and the body posts.

these thread do tend to get long due to the subject so you will have to klick thru all the pages.

already got it, just arrived this morning and giddy aunt! seller forgot to include MSC and servo, but had another Manta ray too that came whole, but with acoms servos that won't fit on my Kyosho rx... James Rolphe moment here... F******K!!!!!!!! Oh, but at least I can rev the motor on the Manta ray....
