Trueno AE86 Tune-Up Box=$50!
 

Yep it's sitting on the shelves in Chinatown here in NYC in that underground shopping center on Elizabeth's street. Thought I'd pass on the good news since I'm not in the position to buy it (Just bought an Initial D set on the same freq with extra motor gears booster set on 27mhz and a 4 band controller for my friend, that's too much on 27 already)

Sometimes the hunt is more fun than the capture. So go for it guys!

BTW above ground on Elizabeth St. Mugen Toys had a few official Char-G bodies - the Mobil NSX and Castrol Supra for 9 bucks each. The supra is looking good since the headlights are already cleared for some LEDs...hmm I might use that body instead of the Mach for hardcore racing (my poor Mach is already chipped a bit from running into things)

Thanks for the heads up. Just what Im looking for. I was the one who posted about the rare bit parts. Any other trueno owners out there wanna trade thier purple stab sets, lemme know. qfm@comcast.net

Glad to help, QFM. if you guys race somewhere frequently in the city in a public place (like a hobby store or something) let me know, I'll drop by and check out your rides.

Hey jbit what part of new york do u live in?I'll race if ur close.:D

haha no way! i see those mods you've done! the Mach may look fast but she only has range mods done atm. but hey there really should be SOME kind of r/c club in the city right? i went to Forbidden Planet in union square and went to the Geek alcove - only Yugi-Oh collectors there now, oh well. that space would be good for some races. btw they sell the Panther clones there for around 16 bucks i think.

just got a AE86 Tune-up box for that same price:) . . .
Jbit , you'd probably have tha advantage in a twisty track;)
