Heya, Folks!

I was wondering if anyone has a set of the instructions for Tamiya's (relatively) recent T-55 kit...?

I am looking for the part and tree numbers for the drive sprokets/running gear (including torshion bars) AND the the lower hull...

Am hoping to obtain the parts for a conversion but I do not want to buy the kit only to cannibalize half of it. I am hoping to purchase these parts separately from Tamiya and they apparently as for the part and tree number (selling the entire tree).

Thank you very much!

Regards and Aloha,

Johnny B

Hey Havoc,
Here is what I found in my instructions:

You will need Parts Tree " A "

Part numbers are:

Running gear:

Right side:
a 13, a 40, go in the rear, a 37 are the middle idler arms, a 41, a 36, go in the front.
Left Side:
a 36, a 41, these two are in the rear, a 12 are the middle idler arms, a 40, a 13 go in the front

Both sides: a 3 and a 11

Drive sprockets are:

A 34 and A 15

Idler wheel:

A 44, A 35, A14

Road wheels:

A 10, a 29

I hope this helps.


Best Wishes,

Forgot to add:

The lower hull is parts code number 0333464 and parts tree " A " is 0003682. Sorry about that..

Wow!

Thanks, Ragnar!! I REALLY appreciate you taking the time out to find this info for me --- you're what we'd call a "stand up guy" back in The Bronx!!

Thanks again!

Ordered the replacement parts from Tamiya USA with no problems...about $14.00 with shipping.

Couldn't have done it without you two, so thanks again, gents!

Much Aloha and Muy Mahalo,
