I've just returned to RC car hobbying after a 10year hiatus after receiving a box full of RC cars from my uncle. What I discovered in the box were 5 Tamiya rc cars: F101, MB C11 Group-C, TA02R, TA03F with FRP conversion, and FF01 with FRP conversion. Within them were a Sport Tuned motor, Dynatech 02H 18T, 2 Futaba Attacks, etc. that were all collected over 20 years. But I digress..

I understand that the FF01 and TA02 shared many parts.

Is there a parts list that I can reference that shows which parts for the TA02 work on the FF01?

I have been searching the internet and cannot seem to find any parts for FF01, but I do see parts for TA02. The front and rear links seem nearly identical if not just a tad bit different in angle. I have started cleaning the FF01 and will take some of the suspension apart and try the TA02 equivalent arm to see if it allows the same movement and travel.

Also, has anyone thought of a clever way to put a bumper on the FF01 or TA03R? the front engine case does not make for a good bumper.
