Brilliant thanks for sharing! 👌👍

[@korc2157]

Thanks for taking the time to have a look👍 Great to get a few out and running these last couple of days, funny how that smell always gets me😎

[@maus6263]

I really regret not getting one of these VR 15S.FV version when i came across one 2 yrs ago. It's absolutely rare!

[@korc2157]

Thanks for watching👍 You are right on there mate, they are quite hard to find in running order and especially with the cooling fan intact.

Really nice kits the tamiya i am thinking of maybe buying one one day. I just picked up a new os max 12cv-r it need braking in its notbeen touched yet as the weather isn’t great at the moment.

[@korc2157]

Hi mate, thanks for watching👍 You have a great little OS engine there by the sounds of it, the 12cv-r is a nice package. Any idea which chassis you might get?

[@David-069]

Yes i got it from Japan for like £100 + £23 and that was through Paypal a really good price the only thing that was missing in the box was the filter sponges everything else was included. I have a really nice fw03 that i bought a while ago and not done anything with it so i got the engine a nice two speed with clutch and a set of k zero slicks o and i have a 99 Subaru Impreza body kit with The Richard Burns decals.

[@korc2157]

@@David-069 Sounds like you have a nice little project there ready to go, the FW03 is an excellent chassis. I used to have a couple of Kyosho's a while ago, they are a great car, Im a bit bummed I sold mine off to fund some Tamiya projects.

[@juan66628]

Hoy después de mucho buscar tengo por fin mi Tgx mk1 con motor tamiya novarossi 😊.

[@David-069]

I bought the fw03 in 2020 i wasn’t really looking for one but i seen it on the German ebay and the bid was on €33 euros and the clock was counting down from about one minute I waited till the last 10 seconds then another 1or 2 bidders came in then i put my bid in it was for like €50 euros and i won it for 36 + 15 for the delivery. It is all stock really nice condition with a GT15cr but no body i was amazed by what i has just bought so thats how i got it

[@korc2157]

Its great when you can pick up a genuine bargain on ebay, sometimes you just have to pinch yourself👍

What wheels/tire combo are those on the ops vr15s. Fv car???? They look to be nice and wide.. I like it...

[@korc2157]

Hi mate, thanks for watching👍 The wheels are the stock from the #44004 Calsonic R33 kit, but they were fitted to other models too and the tyres are a set of Tamiya racing radials, these are the standard width for all TGX models. If you are looking for a wider tyre there are some HPI and Kyosho combos that will fit the TGX, although the offset on the Kyosho wheels can be a little extreme.

[@kawiman31]

@@korc2157 I need part # for wide radial and wheel u have? Ty, ty

[@korc2157]

@@kawiman31 Part number for the wheels is #50566 (white) and the racing radials are #50563, both are standard width as there was no 'wide' option for the TGX. Both of these parts are getting harder to find these days, hopefully these numbers help you out.
