I have some spare bearings etc - they're used but shout if they'd help - will do a reasonable price on eBay - I splashed out £50 on Acer ceramics you see - may have a latshaft new too - that's for the chap thinking of doing one up...

Looking superb Mark...
![]() I agree about TRF, but Tamiya seem to want to concentrate on mass market , plastic, kits.... I guess that's where the money is though......how many TRFs would they sell compared to,say, Lunchboxes..!
