TOPIC:

A tfe is a tfe. Like the avante, it's expensive.

Just found that I'm missing two 850 sealed bearings. New ones coming from Hong Kong already but that will take some days.

Anyway, onwards with step 15 and 16, front upper arms and damper stay.





Easy peasy

Steps 17, 18 and 19 in the manual, uprights, lower arms and assembly.

Start:





Noticed a typo in the manual... It's not 3x20. Supposed to 3x10. Not often I've seen typos in Tamiya manuals.



Assembly of lower arms.






And assembly of the front gearbox.





Dampers are next.

I should have bearings for you. I will send them with rims.

Correct. Only Tamiya counts in my builds.

Dampers, steps 20 to 22 and 24 to 26:

The High Caps are beautiful both to look at and work with. I'm not sure but is the plastic collar for the top of the spring a unique feature for the TFE?

Parts for the rears:


All four are resting, waiting for the bubbles to rise.


And then they are done:

Not on the egress???
