I used tamiya 9808126. The only set I could find in the states was directly from tamiya USA. Been looking for another set for the front but only one I keep finding is one in Hong Kong. I'm working on another solution at the moment see if it works out then I'll post up.

It handles very much like the outlawed nsx. It's very good.

Got the body all stickers up and I'm pretty happy with it. Looks really good zipping around the driveway. I really like the head and tail lights,the detail is pretty realistic.

Still have to trim the body posts and build the CVA shocks. I ended up taking off the stock servo saver in favor of a Vanquish 20mm servo arm. Much better now.

Thanks! Is it same as #53992? I found that this online and seems a replacement for 9808126 from tamiya USA manual.

But rereleased now huh?

The car or just the body?

I think I'll get the Raikiri anyway. The NSX and HSV look ok too. A fella had one of the older Audi R8 bodies the other night, that looked decent also.

The nsx shells 2000 - 2005 are not allowed in TCS races.

Me and my cousin just picked up some TT02Rs for some cheap parking lot racing action. The first couple runs were essentially stock with the addition of the Yeah Racing adjustable motor mount running 17.5 motors. I had some 64P pinions and spurs left over from another car so I threw in 81/47 gearing and things were much better (and it could probably use another couple teeth on the pinion).

My cousin, understandably, cannot let my car be so much faster than his so he will be changing gearing as well. The difference is he would like to stick with 48P gears for some added durability with the target ratio is something in the 4.3 FDR range. I tested 55/33 with some spare gears I had and they did not come close to meshing so I'm thinking something around 60/36 would work. Can anyone give me a 48P recommendation for a 4.3ish FDR that will fit?
