I just dug out my old Dirt Thrasher and it has the same chassis you added. I also have the FRP shock towers front and rear. On the drive shaft we always added a half inch of fuel tubing to lock the ungrade shaft in place. I would love to send you pictures of my old kit.
G'day David! Sorry for my slow reply. That's awesome, a vintage beast is always cool to see. I see the pics on my group, looks great and will be a beast if you go brushless and 2s! 😁👍
thanks for the tip on the carbon protection technique- going to use this idea on my TA03R runner chassis upgrade I have- you can barley keep it in the driveway- be careful with it at that track
Great video mick just bought a second hand dirt thrasher had to buy lots of new parts including a new body but cannot find the decals or the wheels for it
That buggy looks sharp mate 👌 I thought it was on 3s the way it accelerated! I reckon it deserves a nice set of alloy shocks to finish it off! Nice work 👍🦘🇦🇺
Thanks mate. I'm not too keen on the looks of this buggy, but those plastic yellow shock do look pretty ugly on it. The yellow CVA's seem to look ok on most other Tamiyas but just look wrong on this buggy. Maybe I'll look for some nice Chinese, big bore shocks in red or blue. 😁👍
Thanks mate. Oh yeah, gonna need more room for sure. This run was only a quick test, I'll take it back to the BMX track for the 3s run. 👍 ruclips.net/video/ttebIayzThI/видео.html
Hi, sorry for my slow reply. I'm using an OCDAY esc and 4300kv brushless combo. For the chassis I used Top Force upper and lower decks and the Top Force alloy chassis spacers. Also Top Force battery retainers. Hope this helps. 👍

Very good work, an excellent transformation and the test is conclusive.
Thanks mate! 🙂👍

No probs, glad you got something from the video. Haha yeah, it's a handful to drive in the driveway. I'll have to get this one to the track soon. 👍

Sorry for the slow reply mate. You could try MCI in Canada for the decals. That's what I used on this one. 👍
Nice upgrade Mick, great video
Great ❤ - think of upgrading mine to FRP too
Has a nice bit of zip to it! Much better with the TF chassis👍
Should be nuts on 3s, better add extra tyre glue! lol. The good thing about this chassis is I don't need to be so picky about what battery I use. 👍

@@RCHobbyShed yehhh now you're talking 👌
Nice Upgrade Hobby👍👍 I see your buggy like under the car LOL.
Thanks mate. I agree, it kept trying to get under. 🤣
Nice work on the chassis it looks really good
Thanks mate. Hopefully it hold up on the 3s at the BMX track lol.
That turned out great but if that was 2S, you're gonna need some more tires and a LOT more room!😮😁😎👍👍

Thanks mate! 🙂👍
That’s fast!
very nice my friend🇬🇧👊😎😊👍
Thanks mate! 🙂👍
cool video, watched with pleasure, put like!!!👍🤘😉💪
Thanks mate! 🙂👍👊
How are your temps on 3s with the 4300 kV motor? My 3900kV Motor with 18p gear got cooked.
I've only run this one on 2s so can't what the temps would be like. That said I've never really measured the temp even on 2s.
would you happen to have the part numbers? my daughter took my manta for a spin and crashed, looking to replace the chassis with the CF one
thank you
Hi, sorry for the slow reply. I've updated the video description with all the part numbers. 🙂👍
Hi can u send me what motor and electric u use pls all part what u use pls

So what you going to do with the chassis replacing to save it for another project?
I'll keep it for a spare for my other Manta Ray.
Now you going to have to replace the tires cuz I'm sure those pins are all used up.
Nah, they still have plenty of meat on them. The 3s might wreck them though. 😁
