Thanks

The cleaning and restoring of the parts took most of the time. I ended up with enough parts to start piecing together another Pro and I still have some carbon plates for a 3rd. You ordered 2 03F's? Are they Pro's or plain 03F's? Its the pro you want. They are much lighter and the balance is WAY better. You must have had some luck finding 2 TA03Fs coz they arent that easy to find these days. did ya find em on eBay or something ?
If they arent Pro's then I might be able to help you out with the FRP chasis plates to convert the standard to a Pro

If you want more info on the 03Fs then come over to the DRCentral Tamiya/TA03 forum where all us 03F ****s hangout

Lots of help and info there.
