RE: THE LOUNGE 2
Just realized I need an antenna tube for the TA05. Drat! Thought I had an extra here (I don't).
Just need to paint the TA05 body now, the rest is done. (Err, other than the tube). That raises a question - do most folks just shoot the antenna tube straight up through the TC body? I tend to see photos of TCs here where no tube shows (makes me wonder where the antenna is).
Also, for a body like the TA05 - I plan on putting black tape over the small slots on the underside of the chassis where you can see the spur and front/rear tranny gears (where the belt hooks up). Don't really see a reason to leave those exposed, if I'm running in parking lots.
Pics to come...iffy quality, but I took some.

The thing is, it was never re-released in US, that's why it is still commanding high price, as they are all from the Japan seller... [:'(]

LOL, you can buy a T-EGG for the price of the body on ebay. Re-release does not always mean cheaper.

RE: THE LOUNGE 2
It was re-released as a limited edition shell only kit to retrofit to WW-2 to create Willy's Wheeler 2..
It was never a full production like a Lunchbox, Frog, etc.

Oh ok, I thought since it was re released it would be affordable, guess I missed the boat.
@LB I really like the electric dune buggy cool stuff!

The Standard TA-05 kit has one in there too... I think it's some sort of alternative battery hold-down.
Obviously it wouldn't work to well on this chassis.

But yeah, I want to drive it around just a touch w/out the body to see how it does. Haven't yet - need to charge that battery.
