Default Tamiya FF01 parts?

Does anyone know where I can find parts for a Tamiya FF01? My neighbor gave me the car for free and it looks like it just needs servo mounts... Any ideas? Also the front right tire wobbles when it rolls, almost as if the shaft is bent...

it may not be the shaft, wheels buckle quite easy with rough driving. either are cheap to replace though..

Knowing that parts for the FF01 are discontinued, should I invest money in a radio for this thing or should I just sell it as is and buy a newer car?

the FF-01 is discontinued, but parts are readily available on ebay, dont forget the FF-01 share's a lot of parts with other Tamiya models so there is plenty of choice..

have a look here.. http://www.goldstarstockists.net/tampdf/58190.pdf

then type the parts number into ebay and see what comes up!

Haha Lee you mentioned my old workplace, he'll know you linked his site!

The FF01 was a bit unique in it's time, and ultimately not very popular for users (more a collectors car) as the users all wanted 4wd, for it was uber-fast in comparison!

I still like the Fwd layout, but prefer the FF02 and M03's to the older style. But you're going vintage so....Respect!

Chris.
