LOL, thats more or less what my TA-03F looks like right now.

Any luck on finding parts? I killed the sper gear in mine so I tore it appart last week to fix a buddies TA-02, and now I miss it, doh! I never knew it was so good compaired to the other cars...

I need a sper gear (or two) some bushings, couple springs, and two shock towers to getter back goin again.. Any help would be appreciated.

But, if I cant get the parts I need then I guess I will sell it to someone that could use it...

Status: offline 		if you know the part numbers for the parts you need, you might try just doing an internet search for them. i have found parts for my rs4mt (discontinued) that way. i am sure these have been discontinued longer, making parts more scarce, but you might try it. surely springs and bushings would be readily available...

Assuming that it's mechanically sound, it needs a damn good cleaning and a new set of rims a tires.

The body might be a different beast, but I'm excited to see this thing come back together. keep us posted.

Status: offline 		I need chassis part "B3" from pt#50699, and part "A1" from pt#5069b, a sper gear pt#50704, and some random screws, pins and bushings to getter back up running. The sway bar kit from the pro version would be is nice too.

It seems that Dinball from flebay is my only hope, lol.

Others are discontinued from Tamiya.. You'll have to find OldStock to get them.
