Mine? Sure Need the gears first! Alloy+ associated plastic=good. You wouldn't believe this thing. And crawling dudes would prolly only call it an "intermediate crawler. Can't imagine a pro level comp crawler You would never imagine going slow could be so much fun. Unless I'm wheeliing or jumping the tnx, I'd rather crawl. But jumping and doing wheelies is just too fun. I can balance a wheelie about 50 feet without a wheeliebar! That takes some talent lol.

Received my first item from Hong Kong today, it was the ball bearings. I was hoping there would be more Chinese on the packaging, but I guess if it is coming to the US there is no need. I can defenitely see Chinese influence in the English handwriting though. I find it very interesting.

I am going to order all my parts from HK now. So much cheaper.

When I lived in Japan I bought a Tamiya Skyline TT01 for super cheap in Yen with a radio, battery and charger. Although the store owner spoke almost no English, he knew what I meant. It was a great experience.

Anyway, that's my boring story. Can't wait for the other parts.

It's typical Tamiya, they provide 80% of the ball bearings you need. They provided ball bearings for all the internal parts and used bushings for the C hubs and front knuckles(the most sloppy area). That is what I got the bearings for. I only needed 8, but the price for 18 was less than a pack of 10 from Tower including the shipping!!

I will used the left over ball bearings for the Tamiya Box trailer.
