[mikerobinson83]

so how much does the whole kit cost? as i was going to buy a mad rat then convert.

cant seem to find any prices on the net

[budgio]

The Conversion is under £50 add a madrat £50 and bearings £10
Not a lot really

[mikerobinson83]

thats well cheep,however buying the kit has to be cheaper than the conversion

[ben44]

The part of the X pro to go in TC02C

Part 1 :

Part 2 :

Body

The part
The T plate with the diff

And the car finish ...

Hello people,

Where can i get the conversion from and any idea how much and how long it took to arrive,also what spares would you suggest to purchase.

[Andyp]

I got my conversion from tcmodels.net all the prices are on there, I ordered on the Sunday and it arrived the monday a week later ! I'm not sure about spares but maybe the rear shock tower and the rear hingepin holder.

[spindles69]

Cheers andy,

I will have a look now.
I converted the boys rb5 to mid and it impresed me a lot but i can't bring myself to mid my rb5 but have the xpro so if the price is right then i'll be converting the xpro.
Also the gearbox andy is it 4 gear or idler mod cheers.

Think uk importer/ ansmann need to get their arse into gear and get these into the uk, or by the time they do everyone will have bought one from over the water, we are trying to support our LHS's are we not

Is there even any word on when we will be getting them, or is it another "Not in the uk importer"? and all the suff comes from europe

[Tom3012]

Works out about £50 posted from HK, and yes its a 4 gear box, note the extra idler gear in the pics

You'll need a decent set of shocks though as the madrat ones are pants... So an xpro that comes with bearings, decent shocks and titanium turnbuckles for £80 is a good price, then £50 for the conversion, £130 job done... Plus you could sell the xpro shell for £10 (they're £20 in the shops)... Makes it a steal at £120...

[ben44]

with oil, spring did you putt in your damper.
I will do a test on a carpet and gym floor.

I've thinks tu putt oil 30 and stock spring to start?

xpro for £80, i thought je spares stopped selling at that price,cheapest xpro on ebay was £99 when i last looked and that pushes the price with the conversion ever closer to the "established" brands

tc models are listing the tc02c for $10 more than the standard tc02 in £s it works out to around the £110 i think,which is a good price but the cost of postage and the import tax will push the price up again.

any signs of a uk importer??????????

my lhs sells ansmann cars so i may ask how much he could get one for,but unless there is a few coming into the uk then the price will remain high

[racingdwarf]

as far as I can tell from my LHS no one even knows about it.

[Timee80]

Spoke to pat this morning from mcr in chesterfield. He said he had an email from ansmann this morning saying its about 200 quid.

[mikerobinson83]

£200 thats semms over priced compaired to over seas,

anyone know of a hk based shop selling the tc02c?
where is tc models based?

Can't be thats 20 quid more than fully hopped up team editon Xpro as per this thread:

http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56435

I still reckon the kit will the £150.00 mark.

[racingdwarf]

If it's 200 quid in the uk may as well not bother importing as most will buy from over the water and people would rather spend extra £50-£70 on cougar etc with big bore shocks etc, just have to wait and see i guess

[mikerobinson83]

went through the ordering process(up to adding card details) at tc models and the kit worked out at £107.49 thats with ally shocks and clear body so almost converted xpro spec.plus what ever postage tc models will charge for uk delivery (may try and haggle some free/discount shipping out of them) anyone know what tc models postage prices are like?

Hi mate the easiest way to get one from HK would be to go to this forum

http://www.rctech.net/forum/rcmart-c...arketplace-79/

and send a message the Dennis "rcmart" from rcmart, he's in HK and will go out of his way to order what you want direct from Team C. If it's more than $120 USD I'd be very surprised, he's shop price for the rear motor TC02 is 99 USD. Normally you would want to support Ansmann in the UK but if they are talking 200 pounds for a kit that costs the same wholesale as the rear motor, then probably it's better to getting it a bit more direct. Not sure if Dennis will do the same deal for everyone but my TC04 was around 150 USD, total bargain I thought.

P.S tcmodels is in Hong Kong, it's the factory outlet (at full recommended retail prices) of Team C, still pretty good deals but the big hobby shops in HK will do them cheaper
