Just finished building my TA05. The only original TA05 parts are the 2 screws that hold the spur on, and the 2 screws located inside the steering arms, the rest is either a Tamiya option, or the Flap blue carbon chassis kit.
Hi guys, thanks for the comments, I'm really happy with my car.
I will drive the car in the next few weeks … I have to paint a body for it first. I will put clear chassis protector on the bottom to try and keep it scratch free
The tyres are made by RD Logics. I bought them from a seller on ebay Canada about 2 years ago. I have the transparent blue, but they also made transparent red as well as orange,red and blue. They are made from silicon, so I don't think they work as well as normal rubber tyres.
