This is an out of production car, if you intend to run this car, do get all the hop up and spares you can find. At the moment the best place will be at Stargek and at ebay or ******. Vital parts to get will be the gear boxes, these are can crack after serious accident.

Parts are rather limited.

What are you looking for? I have some used hopped up parts I can let go. eg Front one way, hard center shaft, alloy steering, etc PM me

I see you are getting Vaner's TA04, do take note that it is a TA04SS, which means its a short chassis / wheelbase car and bodyshell will be very very very difficult to find. Beside Tamiya, Proline do makes them but you will not find it in Singapore as no ones will bring in these as this TA04SS was not popular.

Tamiya's be prepared to pay around $60 for the body if they still have it.

I already kena big headache on my TA03FS and RS, nobody makes the shell other than Tamiya and all cannot find anymore.

It will depend on what you are using it for? to race or just to have fun trashing around. I am not familiar with the E10, so I can't comment on it.

For me, I will usually go for Tamiya cars as their part support is great, tons of it at Stargek, our local Tamiya distributer. As for race, they have their Tamiya Asia Cup where you can run your cars.

If you find Tamiya hop up expensive, 3 racing and many other Hong Kong manufactuerer do them too BUT then you will not be eligible for Tamiya race.

If you are new to RC car, then get a current car as their life span is longer. TT01 (Tamiya entry level) cars are now at their 3rd revision with the TT01E, so get this one. Usually a car production run like the TT01 will be around 5 years and more.

Higher grade will be the TA05 or the shaft drive TB03 more expensive too. Hope that helps.

Bro, how come, DF03 hop up parts are plenty. Yeah racing, 3 racing, GPM, Tamiya all make them. If Singapore dun have, you can get from the web. Need help?

Yes, TA05 replaces TA04 and TA05 itself is in its 5th change(or more?), TA05, TA05R, TA05IFS, TA05MS, TA05 ver2. So you can guess how old is the TA04.

As for TT01D, D stand for dift.....E? I dunno

[razalie]
