Bodies aren't a problem... there isn't a lot of room with the front motor but most fit... I've recently run both a Mazda 6 and a DNA2 on my 03F

Biggest issue will be gearing... you won't even get remotely close with an 17.5... especially if its an outdoor track where the other cars are running BIG roll-outs

If they have good feedback, I don't see anything wrong with buying from them.

Nothing for me on this one, unless others found something. My TA03F Pro & TA03F-S are now just shelf queens.

Are these worth anything to sell? I have an assembled but never driven TA-03F sitting in the garage, and don't know whether to sell it, or put some drift tyres on it and trash it!

I had an assembled brand new limited edition TA03R Mobil 1 NSX. I sold it because I have another running one, and another kit still unassembled NIB. Needless to say, the one I sold, I didn't get much at all. I'd keep it and run it, unless you want to sell it 10-15yrs later on when it will be worth more.

could a TA03F Pro be competitive in RCGT? I've been thinking about dusting off the one I bought new that has been sitting in storage for years. I remember doing well on technical courses, but it just didn't have the speed on long straights.

Looks like a lot has changed in the electronics department since I last raced.
