TOP FORCE Built from my left over parts and a heap of NIP.

Post by Mad Racer »

This will be my 3rd Top Force and i say the best so far. Funny was built with my left over spares from my Ray and Conqueror bits.

Still had to buy a heap of new spares but still cheaper than a new Re re one as they aren't cheap now..

Has Yeah Racing shocks with losi springs. Alloy center Shaft. Converted to run Li Po saddles, Z Run 9t. Team Blue Groove Re Po body. HPI Orange Star wheels. Losi Rubber

Very nicely done. The wheels are different. What brand are they? I never did finish my Top Force because I was missing the rear plastic body mount. I may have lost it somewhere years ago...but that part never seems to pop up on the bay.

The wheels are HPI Ultra of their RTR. A Main sell them.

You are missing the little body mount that sits on top of the rear gear box cover????

If so i will send one to you as i have lots of them.

With saddel packs this is by far my best vintage Tamiya racer.

MadRacer, I pm you and didn't hear anything back. Did you get my info, it's also okay if you don't wanna give it out...I did ask "how much". At any rate, don't tease me like that....my Top Force is still not complete.

Sorry to hear the horrible news, Mark! :shock: Though it sounds a bit strange, I hope you make a speedy recovery...and hope reattachment is possible.

Mad Racer, the thumb is very important. If I had to lose any phalanges, I hope it would not be the thumb. Take away the middle finger...but not the thumb. Hope you recover quickly.

Hi N2DEEP.

The Top Force Body mount has been sent.

Hope it gets your Top Force up and running.

Talking of Top Force mine felt a little more stable with saddels compared to stick packs. Was very nice to drive.

Cheers.

Mark, thanks for posting that. I will keep an eye out for it and let you know once I receive it. I don't think I'll be running mine...it's the Evolution.

Mark, I received the rear body mount last week. I just want to say Thanks a whole bunch. Now, my Top Force body can stay on without me worrying the lexan may tear from the front mount. Just to let everyone know, Mark is a legitimate guy. He wasn't lying when he said that he was gonna post it for free, too bad I can't help him recover quicker then he'd like.
