Man, what a mess you had on your hands! I am sold on the SimpleGreen though. I am getting that to clean my stove & oven, LoL. Oh, what was it that you put back in the gearbox once it's all clean?

Wow, that turned out nice and shiny! I did pretty much what you described...SOS pad and all. However, once I got the car completely disassembled, I noticed quite a few deep scratches on some of the parts. I started with 400 grit wet paper and worked my way up to 1500. I'm pretty happy with the way i...

Oh, thank you for that! I don't want to do any more damage! I have seen those parts frequently, but they are in pairs or NIP. I would be happy with just one used one. I do get carried away with purchases and need to pace myself. I get all worked up! I need to step back and take a breather, LoL. Than...

Oh man, I didn't think about that, it would get annoying. I think most people (like me) just don't realize how hard these parts are to find and they are just looking for any help they can get, but a grocery list? Yeah, that is too much! I have been able to locate most of the parts I need, just have ...

The Teambluegroove body does come with the driver and you can get anything for that car. That is great news! I have actually been to that site many times :) It is excellent for info and adding links for a part section will make it even better, I can't wait! I have held off on purchasing from TeamBl...

That is great news! I have actually been to that site many times :) It is excellent for info and adding links for a part section will make it even better, I can't wait! I have held off on purchasing from TeamBlueGroove. I could of sworn the Tomahawk body was cheaper last week, but I guess it will on...

Thank you Lars for taking the time to answer that for me. I have been looking for that info everywhere! :? I would like to get some rims soon so that when Marwin is completed molding the repro Tomahawk tires I will be good to go. All the Tamiya wheel adapters I have seen just look like brass tubing ...

I just got back from the local library to print out the Tomahawk manual. Getting ready for re-assembly. I found a couple of mid-eighties books from "Radio Control Car Action" that has the Scorpion in it. It is called "The Basics of Radio Control Cars" (1986). Going to try and sca...

The rear wheels are 1.5" and the front wheels are 1.9" Are those the sizes of the rims Lars? Thank you for the paint color also. I will keep an eye out for that. I got my RCScewz set in the mail today. LoL, they are located in Canton, Michigan (Not far from me). I got most of my aluminum s...

Since I have found this forum there have been several members that have helped me find parts. That is truly a blessing because I couldn't have found them on my own. I had no idea finding shocks and wheels would be so hard. I have located some of the parts on my list but the cost is what is holding m...

I am needing some help from you Scorpion/Tomahawk enthusiasts. Does anyone know the sizes of the rims & shocks that fit these buggy's? Finding originals is going to be next to impossible, so I was wondering what other models would work on it. I have no idea on the size of these parts and the man...

Man, those are in great condition. I have to agree, those wheels look slick on the Ultima! I never find awesome deals Congrats!

Great! Marwan's tires look to be very good quality. For rims, I would like to get something period correct, but just finding something that fits has been a challenge. I have found a few of the items on my list from ebay, but prices are high (naturally). There is a Canadian seller that sells repro Le...

I just got an email that Marwin is in the process of making tires for the Tomahawk/Scorpion. http://www.marwanrc.com/ Anyone ever buy some of these? They look like good quality and affordable. What would you guys think about these on a Tomahawk: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chrome-Centerline-Wheel-Set-Co...

Alright, I'm right down the road from you. I prefer the term "Mid-Coasters"
