how did you guys put a standard spur gear on this car? for the F104, there was this one (tamiya 54215). Wonder if they will make a similar adapter for this car? Would changing that part to a plastic piece from a bearing have any impact on performance?
ok, nvm, read rebull's fix. I used one layer of black electric tape and fit pretty much snug. I cut a piece about 18.5mm (still need to experiment with width) long and wrapped it lightly(don't tug on it) and it should cover everything without overlapping. Might depend on brand of tape.
also might need to throw some spacers between the two bearings to make up the lost space (the stock spur has this plastic protrusion acting as a bearing holder) The flanged part on the standard bearing was not enough.

Works a treat, spur gear runs perfectly true.
For reference.

The Mazda RX792 is my favorite Prototype shape of all time. TOO smooth while offering adequate downforce. A bit more reliability and they could have been GTP champions.....
Those damn Jaguar V-12's still make me shiver. Torque/smoothness incarnate........
Man I miss the late 80's/early 90's!!!
P.S. What would it take to get a few Fast Fashion Nissans for My collection?
I have a gifted painter who could do one in my colors, and one in the Nissan or possibly Electromotive Liveries.

For the Toyota 84C kit, the original had the wire wing mount that attached into the rear body posts. The new RM01 kit you use double sided tape to tape the wing in place between the rear side wing plates.
