What are your initial thoughts on the Golf body quality? I'm in the market for a re-pop myself and they seem to be the only ones that offer the body to utilize the original injection molded plastic Tamiya parts. TBG bodies are all over the board as far as quality (and drama) go however. I've got a nice donor chassis and lots of NOS parts here waiting for a body and resto. Hope I can find a nice original box to display with one day too!!

HI!... Well went out to the LHS for the last time. After today they are officially closed. I picked up the following :

Early Team Associated RC-10 Sprinter (custom) :

Assorted vintage wheels/tires. Some of these are billet aluminum. Others are just painted silver. 90% of the tires are new :

My BigWig steering boots arrived :

And some RPM white rear control arms, Novak receiver, and servo :

Fix'd. :wink:

They're Worlds arms btw.....and the RPM arms at the front of the sprinter are truck conversion arms. I'd replace those for shorter ones. Wheels are from a Kyosho Sideways.

Also looks like the side bars have been stretched out some. They're typically more of a right angle at the back bend.

HI!... Were the bars and cage produced by a company or are these custom made?

all the light reflections kept screwing up the focus. wheels look nice but they are going into storage with the tranny and all the other parts. re-re time capsule build. even got a set of steel idlers incase future motors are just crazy powerful

Anyone want to guess what it is???? I'm guessing you won't be able to......

Unfortunately, I'm working 400kms away, so can't open it for another two days..... the suspense hurts a bit.....
