Currently hunting for a tamiya super astute if any one knows to one forsale

Welcome on board Nomad

Hi Nomad

Hello and welcome

Thank Andyaus yeh i am in conversion with the guy selling the black astute its a shame its not the super as i plan to race it and it hasn't got a slipper clutch

The nib is a little rich for my blood as i want to use it lol £800 plus and tax that gets stuck on

Welcome, Rob. The Super Astute is a very cool car but an odd one with it's 0.5 mod gears.
You sure you don't wanna race a car that has parts that are easier to replace?
With all the reissues, I don't think this one will be very likely to get rebatched.

Best you stock up on bearings by the way (it has like 60-something, I recall).

Is it not a optionned madcap???????

Don't think the gears are interchangeable? Couldn't see how...
With the Dark Impact they're the only 0.5 mod transmissions I know of.

While using the slipper clutch at least (of course I'm the theoretician that hasn't built either)...
