Here is a video I made of our RCGT club race in south Florida.
You can see my TB-03 in the chassis shots and it is the GTr-34 red nismo
Enjoy
Pause The Video at the chassis shots to see the line-up.

I got my Takata NSX for $169 with free shipping from Ultimate Hobbies here in the U.S. Another option are the Hong Kong suppliers like Toy East, RC Mart, RC Mushroom, etc. Kits can usually be had for $140 - $160 with shipping in the $50 range (USD). I've used Toy East personally for hop ups and not had any problems. They take Pay Pal if you prefer.
The difference between a NSX and a ARTA in Germany is about 29 EUR (41 USD). This is really annoying - especially if you don't like the ARTA body.

The cheapest one i can get in Germany is the ARTA Garaiya for 150 EUR free shipping (212 USD). I already saw a NSX for 138 EUR (195 USD) shipping included from Japan on ebay. But then i have to add another 19% TAX at the customs so it doesn't get cheaper at all.

thanks timmie! I decided to buy the TBO3 because of your videos
I already sold my TC5R. my racemates are asking me why, because i have good results with it. They keep asking me if will buy the TOP racing photon, or the XRAY or the TRF 416. they have no Idea I bought a TB03. I will test the car first in secret to get the right setup. So when i race them again they will be in complete shock. hehehehe!

Hello out there!
I decided to join this Forum because it seems to be the only one that's talking about the Tamiya TB-03 Chassis (in a language i can understand)
Here in Germany you only get poor information about my new favourite chassis. Prices are high here so i can understand that barely nobody has one. They are talking very much about the TA-05, TA-05IFS or the newer TA-05 ver.II
Because i am a parking lot driver i recently decided to purchase a shaft driven chassis. During the last years i had a TL-01 and in the beginning of this year i bought a pre-owned fully-loaded TRF 414M i am running with a 6.5T Orion BL set (6400 k/V) and 2S Lipos. To be honest, the TRF is too fragile (belt drive) and expensive for driving on a parking lot. I've got a 1/5 scale MCD, too but i think i'm going to sell it soon.
I just registered here to say "thank you". This thread offers exactly the information i need. In the last time i was thinking about a TA-05 IFS before i saw the TB-03 and read ALL your postings about this chassis. By now the decision is clear. I want it! The Takata Dome NSX is the one i like the most (but it's also the most expensive here
) With all the tuning parts you've got to go for at first such as a spool and the aluminium/carbon steering i've got to pay 255 € what means 361 USD.
How much do you have to pay in the US?

Alrighty here is a video of low traction, parking lot, unprepared, shaft drive, spool. Jimmy Mac recorded this with his apple iphone! Nice nice!
Track was very slick, but lots of fun But the coolest part of the video is the scream of the shaftdrive going down the straightaway! It gets me all excited everytime I hear it! Scares belt car drivers! LOL! Turn up the volume!!!

The yards are full with cars. Even with cars worth a lot more than the 2500 EUR you get if you bring it there
Just tell me what you need.

I'm sure i won't be

This would be no problem. Since the beginning of this year our government initiated a wrecking bonus for every car older than 8 yrs. You get an extra 2500 EUR if you wreck your old one and buy a new "clean" car.

Timmie, that surface is identical to the parking lot track that we race on.
I hope you could post your setup soon if youre not busy. Thanks
