Tamiya 53071 Manta Ray Torque Splitter Set -

Just waiting on parts now. Have ordered the ESC, Motor, Motor mount, Bearing set, Drive shaft Ball Diff Hop Up. Going to do this over two months to spread the cost so next month it will be batteries and charger, 53070 TA02 Speed Tuned Gear set (I guess this will fit)and new body shell. I still need to find the wing mount part as mine is broken.

Stay tuned as I am going to need lots of help when it comes to the rebuild.

One thing I just thought of, will my old Futaba radio gear work with the new esc etc?

yes the futuba radio gear should be fine

Quick question, is this any good?

Looks like an okay charger but it doesn't work on Lipo...
Very popular (and cheap) is the iMax B6 AC Pro Balance Charger.

I think for now we are only worried about NimH batts and for

The Vapextech packs should be of a great quality.

Any progress on your project?

Yeah, got most of the parts I have been waiting for just the Skyline gear set to come. Construction is as yet not started as I need to get some new grease and shock oil (what density should I be looking for?) also been working abroad on and off for the last month so free time is limited.
