TB-02 Hard to find parts
I am looking for the parts tree that has the body mounts. Tower is out, tamiya usa is out, and so is RCmart. Anyone know of a place that may have them in stock? RC mart has front aluminum ones but Id rather have plastic if possible since I get front and rear in 1 package.

That's crazy that you have to buy a whole kit just for a part tree...
Can't you just have un-matched aluminum posts?! Or?
What did you break?! Post some pics!!

I ordered some traxxas 4-tec ones off tower and I will see how they fit. Should work fine, but for a car that is still being sold you would think that Tamiya would have better parts support for it.

RE: TB-02 Hard to find parts
you might really have to because i had to buy a whole new chassis i bought the nissan Z chassis to get all the parts for my tamiya. Its a great deal think about it
Tamiya body=50
wheels and tires=50
miscellanious parts=70
thats more than there selling the kit for and your getting a new chassis to along with the differential which always seems to break

Yeah maybe, Ill come across that bridge if the traxxas posts dont work. I like the kit other than that, I know its not as popular as the TT-01 but I believe its a newer chassis right? Its just kinda funny the old is better supported than the new one.

RE: TB-02 Hard to find parts
Well I had a little mishap with a brushless system, a 3S lipo, and a tree. One of the rear tires kinda came off the rim and the car kinda made a 45 degree right turn over a curb and smack into a 4" wide tree trunk. Talk about bad luck, geez. Tore off the whole right rear. A-arm, shock tower, shock, dog bone, the body, the hinge pin, are all toast.
Tamiya USA has 4 different TB-02 kits on clearance ranging from $85 - $119. Tower has nothing that cheap in stock and neither does RCmart. Just in case anyone needed a spare kit.
I got the NSX kit for $93 shipped via UPS. Im not sure if it comes with the ESC or not, I think it does because it does not say it doesnt. The other kits say ESC not included. But either way it doesnt matter.
