M5 you did all that to your older brothers r/c car and lived to tell the story??? My brother would have beat me til he got his money's worth out of it then probably take my r/c car and smash it to pieces

M 5 · #**227** 11-21-2001, 09:34 PM

didn't take us apart, hes the sweetest brother on earth, and I have a really good sister...haha. Thats why I lived.

I'll let you guys know, but maybe its gone already. Theres only 1 left when I saw it. maybe this is the one

ITEM 53166 (OP166)
FRP Chassis (TA02 & FF)

I'll take some pictures of my bro's TA02 later.

LOL Ya thats probably what would happen.

Billy · #**229** 11-22-2001, 02:17 PM

LoL M 5 your just very lucky

That FRP chassis set is probably what you have been looking for i have one myself and it's very much worth the money i paid for it.

RcMania24 · #**230** 11-23-2001, 03:25 AM

Ya the FRP chassi set is well worth the money.

M 5 · #**231** 11-23-2001, 05:53 AM

yeah...I just lucky to have a nice bro..

How much did you guys paid for it?

RcMania24 · #**232** 11-23-2001, 05:04 PM

Towerhobbies has it for $46.99 part #53164

M 5 · #**233** 11-24-2001, 01:23 PM

I checked it out today, its called TA02 SPECIAL CHASSIS RACING HOPUP KIT.
Part#58157**17800

Its a limited edition...really expensive!

Billy · #**234** 11-25-2001, 07:01 PM

Well there really isnt anything special about it other than i think it has black gearboxes and a front one way diff and wider rear wheels still comes with the plastic tub chassis for that price it should come with the frp chassis but it doesn't.

RcMania24 · #**235** 12-05-2001, 05:24 AM

Ya it is kinda spendy but if you want one i think i saw a good one on ebay.

Anyone know where I can go to get replacement parts for my TA02? I need 2 Front Axels (Tamiya Part #: 50604), 1 Pair Front Uprights (Tamiya Part #: 50555), 1 Pair Wheel Adapters (Tamiya Part #: 53056), and a full ball bearing kit. Anyone got any or know of a web site to get the parts???

Can anyone show me a picture of the motor mount for the TA02. I'm pretty sure it's the round thing with a big hole for the pinion to go through and with many hole around that and also has 2 big things sticking out of it so that it can be screwed in right? I'd prefer the picture to be a front and side image. Thanks

Tsukai · #**239** 12-23-2001, 03:55 AM

What do you need it for?

i think the packaging for the metal hop-up replacement has a diagram but i threw mine away a long time ago.

Last i heard, LHS's can still order it from Tamiya.

RcMania24 · #**240** 12-23-2001, 05:00 PM

Here check this page out it has a pic of the motor mount. i have one of the aluminum motor mounts and can say its well worth the money if your thinking of buying one.

Page six of this thread had some good links and part names.

Tamiya's website would also be a good placce to look for part numbers.

hi

Billy · #**244** 01-03-2002, 05:16 PM

Hello RS4rally1124

RcMania24 · #**245** 01-03-2002, 06:35 PM

Anyone on here use the front aluminum uprights from GPM on the TA02. If so how good are they.?

Billy · #**246** 01-05-2002, 04:32 PM

Does anyone use the aluminum A-arm's that GPM makes for the TAO2? Because i was thinking about getting a set but it doesn't look like you can still use the optional rear sway bar with them.

Thanks Billy.

RcMania24 · #**247** 01-13-2002, 04:29 AM

I guess nobody uses the stuff.

Billy · #**248** 01-13-2002, 06:09 AM

I guess GPM part's must really suck or something.

Billy · #**249** 01-30-2002, 01:06 PM

I guess i will just try them out if they work they work if not i guess i will have some pretty blue paper weights.

RcMania24 · #**250** 01-30-2002, 06:02 PM

Well let me know if they turn out to be blue paper weights or not so i can find out if i want to buy them.LOL
