Yes, a lot of the old Tripmate parts are useable on the Mid-24. The packaging on the bumper (TM-35) however indicated that it was for the Mid-24 only. I could be wrong but I think the part no for the old Tripmate bumper is TM-03. The important things such as ball diff assemblies, bearings, spring antennas, special tie rods are interchangeable between the two. We've got most of the Mid-24 parts in stock and the Mid-24 specific parts are mostly the moulded plastic ones. We ran out of the TM-206 body mounting plates which gives an indication that a lot of people are mounting model bodies on these things.
The thing that interests me though is that parts list says that the wheels for both cars are not interchangeable. I like the old Tripmate style wherein the wheel/tires are held by nuts and not the outer/inner rims style of the mid. I'm worried that the wheels might pop off with the way we race here in the Philippines (crashes at the end of a 45ft straightaway). I will include a couple of TM-34 SP axle pin sets and TM-04P Plated Wheels for the old Tripmate in our next order from Kawada and find out. As for the spring sets, the part no is TM-210 but I think it is the stock set. You might want to try the springs used for the Mini-Z.
