Tamiya F201 with Hop-ups
 

Hey all,

I bought this used F201 and I am in the process of doing a very detailed rebuild, but I am going to sell it anyways. Car will come partially assembled-but not one part missing to complete rebuild..

Things I have done:

-polished every ballstud
-Polished shock shafts
-ultrasonically cleaned all bearings and re-oiled.
-silicone 0-rings on all suspension ball joints to deslop.
-Front tranny and suspension fully built.
-rebuilt diffs. and removed any high spots on bearing races in tranny housings.
-cleaned all drivetrain parts.
-replaced all lower arms with re-enforced arms.
-rebuilt all shocks.

The car comes with these hop-ups:
-lt wt front diff.
-Front and Rear Universals!!!
-aluminum front rocker arms.
-re-enforced front and rear arms (new).
-aluminum front shock bodies.
-aluminum Motor Mount.

And comes with these other parts and spares:
-Mutiple sets of kit tires, wheels and inserts-some new and unmounted.
-well used full set of chassis components.
-A BAR TOyota body in used, but good shape. Two sets of front wings and a rear wing.
-front and rear dogbones and axles.
-plastoic shock bodies.
-manual, original box, servo saver, servo mounts, all screws, antenna tube. Its all there.


The only thing I need to warn about is there is one screw that stripped so I had to cross cut the screw to get it out-hence a dremel line on the stock chassis-which has the usual scratches from being run outdoors.
I can finish rebuilding the car if you like.

Pics in a day or so.

Hmmm, very tempting ... I'm sure buying from you I'd get a killer setup.

Thanks-but to be honest-I have enevr driven a F201, but all I can say is what I have done so far to the car has much improved it from when I got it. I amtrying to build it like I would my 12th scale. NO slop-everything smooth as can be.

Yea, that's cool ... and if I do buy it, I'd really like for you to finish with what you had planned for the car. Here in St Louis we don't have much on-road action, so no real experts to work with. So getting a car done by you would be nice, a learning experience to see how other guys do it.

when you have pics can you post them! i have been looking for one of these to race at a parking lot thing over the summer, im an offroad guy, and i like to do different stuff. thanks man
would you take a money order?

I will post themas soon as I can!!

Yes-I'd prefer a MO over any other payment.

I'll try my best to get the pics up late tonight.

ok, well i have an mf2 that im trying to sell right now, so i hope i can sell it to get this car, its brand new, and i have not had anyone asking about it yet, so ill take it to the track and see. thanks ray!

Heres the back almost ready to be put back together!!

How TCS ready is this car???

Looks nice, but I'm going to have to bow out ... since I just bought a TB-02 and a T4 truck. Unless you'd be interested in a TB-01 with tons of aluminum on it :)

Tigeryan-its 100% legal. IT needs things like the re-enforced prop shatfs, lt. wt counter gears and another lt. wt. diff-the its about as hopped up as a TCS legal F201 can be.

NOtice on the rear arms I already put the silicone 0-rings on.

Heres a pic of most of what you'll get. ONe set-of tires is worn out. ONe set is Pit Shimizu hards and then theres two brand new sets of stock tires. ONe has inserts.

No problem TurboFC3S-I too need cash-to pay for the TB02 I just bought :lol:

Ha, I should just buy an EVO ... but for some reason I always buy the lowest model possible and then spend 3x as much adding parts to it.

I had some of the very First EvoIII's to hit America. Bought them from a HK shop before Tam USA brought them over. My TB02 is actually an evoIII converted into a TB02 with longer driveshaft, aluminum bits all over it. Its gonna make a rockin GT2 or GT! car I think.
