FAQs

What does 'G Parts' refer to in Tamiya models?

'G Parts' is Tamiya's designation for specific plastic parts included in their model kits. In this case, it specifically refers to the window pieces for the listed Blackfoot variants.

Are these windows tinted or clear?

The product description does not specify if the windows are tinted or clear. This often depends on the original kit version or replacement part batch. It's advisable to check product images or contact the retailer if this detail is critical for your build.

Do I need to paint these window parts?

Typically, these window parts are designed to be used as-is, either clear or pre-tinted. Painting is usually not required unless you wish to customize the appearance beyond the original design.

Can I use these parts on a Tamiya Hornet?

No, these G Parts are specifically designed for the Super Blackfoot/Blackfoot III series and are not compatible with the Tamiya Hornet or other unrelated Tamiya models.

Is glue included with these parts?

No, glue or adhesive is generally not included with replacement plastic parts like these. You will need to use a plastic-safe adhesive suitable for RC car models.

How can I best attach the windows without leaving marks?

Use a small amount of plastic-safe adhesive applied precisely to the mounting points on the body shell or the window frame. A fine-tip applicator or a toothpick can help control the amount of glue. Allow it to become slightly tacky before carefully pressing the window into place.

What if my original Blackfoot (58058) windows were a different color?

This replacement part is designed to fit the original chassis. While the color/tint may vary between original production runs or aftermarket replacements, the fit should be correct. If color matching is essential, you might need to source original vintage parts or consider custom painting.

Troubleshooting

Part does not fit correctly

Double-check that your RC car model is listed in the compatibility list. Ensure no excess plastic or molding imperfections are present on the part or the body shell where it attaches. If the issue persists, confirm you have the correct part number for your specific model variant.

Window appears cloudy or scratched

This may be due to improper cleaning or handling. Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth. If deeply scratched, the part may need replacement. Use appropriate plastic polish if minor scuffs are the cause, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Adhesive not holding the window securely

Ensure both the window part and the body shell mounting area are clean and free from dust or grease. Use a suitable plastic adhesive recommended for RC car models. Allow adequate drying time as per the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures a perfect fit for specified Tamiya models.
  • Restores the visual integrity and scale realism of the RC car.
  • Genuine Tamiya part guarantees quality and compatibility.
  • Ideal for repairs or completing a restoration project.
  • Helps maintain the value of vintage or collectible RC models.

Cons

  • Only compatible with a specific range of Tamiya models; cross-compatibility is limited.
  • Requires careful installation to avoid damage to the part or model.
  • May not include any mounting hardware or adhesive, requiring separate purchase.
  • Tinted or clear options are not specified, potential for mismatch if original was different.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This G Parts set is specifically designed for the following Tamiya RC car models:

  • RTR Blackfoot III (57825)
  • Super Blackfoot (58110)
  • Blackfoot III (Blackfoot 3) (58498)
  • Blackfoot 2016 (58633)
  • Original Blackfoot (58058)

Always verify your model's chassis number to ensure this part is the correct replacement. It is not compatible with other Tamiya series or unrelated RC vehicles.

Setup:

Installation typically involves carefully removing the old window parts and any adhesive residue. The new G Parts may require mild plastic-safe adhesive (like Tamiya's own CA glue or UHU POR) for secure attachment. Ensure the body shell is clean and dry before fitting the new windows to achieve the best adhesion and finish. Precision is key during installation to avoid misalignment or damage.

Care:

To maintain clarity and integrity, clean the windows gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can scratch or cloud the plastic. Store the RC car away from direct sunlight to prevent UV damage and potential discoloration of the window parts over time.
