I have my guy working on them and they will go on my Datsun240Z. I will be just headlights and working brake lights - no turn signals. Just adding fun to this class around here. Plus a working stop and go system possibly for this class as well as our F1 class( Most car races have pit stops).

Is there a recommended alternate screw kit. Would like to swap out for allen head screws. I can certainly construct one from screws I have or can order, but thought I'd check to see if there was one people liked. Any issue going with the finer thread of the common 3mm screws in current kits?

I just purchased a generic kit off Amain.com

I never found an actual kit that wasn't stainless, which I didn't want. I ended up ordering a bunch of the Tamiya brand steel hex screws in the appropriate sizes, and them a few off brand ones where I wanted to save some weight.

Are you planning on using the machine thread screws in the existing self-tapper threaded holes?

This is a brand new build so I figured I would started with the machine threaded screws like we on an AE or TLR car.

Is there a reason I should not?

Nope, go for it. I suggest however getting a “M3 forming tap”. Not a standard cutting tap. And pre thread the holes before assembly. It will virtually eliminate premature stripping of the holes, and make the whole assembly stronger. It’s a ton of extra effort, but it’s worth it.

Nope, just wanted to make sure you weren't going to run the machine screws into holes already tapped with the kit included screws. New build, party on! I did the exactly the same thing myself.

rather then just machine screws. Find the proper "plastic" or tapping thread screws makes a big difference in helping keep the car together. Unless you plan on tapping every hole - machine screws strip threads out much easier.

Yeah racing made some nice titanium hex head screws that I'm using on my car.

Does anyone know the track width of the new Tamiya TT-02 SRX as compared to the Tamiya TT-02 S or SR kits. Since the SRX uses the newer style a-arms, does this change the overall width/distance the tires sit from the center line of the chassis?

SRX carries an overall width of 183mm whereas Type-S have an overall width of 187mm both according to Tamiya Inc. Homepage.

Bit of racing from the first heat of last nights TT-02 stock class. The room has the worst carpet ever and the roof leaks, which in Ireland means it's constantly wet but it's all a bit of fun. All standard cars, torque tuned motors and schumacher SST mini pin tyres

Some Tamiya wheels and tires. Just on for pictures, but love the adjustable offset.

Anyone have alternate paint for the Motul Autech GT-R other than the red and silver? Would love to see some pics.

I painted mine like the Paul Newman car. Send me a PM and I'll send you a picture. also working on a Paul Newman 240Z.

I have the larger urethane bumpers. Needed on these cars or do the stock bumpers fill the void?
