Default Hi there i would really like to know.....

Who bought all the fookin posh Tamiya parts!!!!!!!!!!!

Just trying to order the posh bits for my 511 after Roundy decided to give it a good raping at Nationals... but noooOOOOooo theres nothing!!

Come on own up whos got like 20 sets of the posh shocks and all the blingy turnbuckles??? What about the ball studs that arent made of cheese??? Rear hubs, are they made of gold then anodised blue or something, is that why theres none avaliable on any continent! Arrrrrrrrrrrgh!

I managed to find the ali servo saver and a diff spring in about 2 hours searching, oh and some serrated wheel nuts!! Its a joke!!!!!!!!!

Does the 201 come with all the posh bits?? Do they fit the 511?? If so im just going to buy one rob the posh bits and then sell the rest to one of you tamiya parts whores! You know who you are!!!

And that is exactly why I've gone Durango. After years of faffing about with spares for Tamiya cars I've had enough of it!

(I've no idea how Roundy drove your car, those diffs were shocking!)

The turnbuckles are in stock here (until someone decides to order them all) http://www.racingfactory.fi/products...01XDurga-parts

I've understood that there is a new version of the rear alloy hubs coming and thus the old ones are low / out of stock.

It can be difficult to get parts at time but they are out there, you just have to buy them when you see them.

If your break anything blue on the car, your screwed.

Well thanks to ebay (thanks Jan!) and Rich D for emailing me all the stuff I couldn't find I have everything nearly....

Still need wjich ever o rings i need to build up the shocks.. am i supposed to use the competition o rings?

Also need rear hubs and grey ball cups...... Then im allllll happy!

I'm not going to lie, i did look at the durango, and this will sound strange but Gerd tried to marshall my car at Neo with a brush, kinda put me off!

Any help on the last parts would be ace!!
