I 've been looking to get into a SRB lately....any SRB. I don't know much about them, but I always thought they were cool. I think $225 was a pretty good price. Do you guys see anything that might need fixing? I'll post more pics when I get it....

What is this ?

hi

a friend of mine called me today and asked me for some new tires for his
grasshopper II. he is living around 400 miles away from me so i couldn't
tell him give the wheels to me to me and i'll try if any of my vintage tires fit your wheels....

I think the title says it all. Its complete I think except the tires... I am planning on a clean up (already took apart - low parts count, very easy). I dont think it has been run, maybe once? It appears to have been sitting in a basement or...

Can't help loving the martini theme.
1AM, finished taping and spraying it all in 1 evening.
Patience is a nice thing, for people who have it :mrgreen:

Tamiya nuts, A bit of advice if you can?

I have a Tamiya Avante in awesome condition.. it has been restored to the highest standards (mine!). Virtually every part is new, anything that isn't has been cleaned and restored and this car is everybit...

Probably more appropriate in the Clodtalk, but oh well.

Will Midnight Pumpkin wheels fit on the Wild Willy 2? Tires the same size as well?

Thanks!

This car is very special to me as it is my first proper radio control car, so please forgive me if I ramble on a bit before the pictures.

I had had a number of department store RC cars before this one but this was the first hobby grade model. We...

i got this with an ultima but im sure its not an ultima body of any kind.
thought it was an rc 10 body and just checking to see if itmay be usefull to any one who perhaps remakes these or someone who may need it incase its an oldy but a goody.i did...

Ah, adding cars to RC10talk, what are lunch breaks for?

Well this is another project which I have had in a shoe box for over a year and just decided to build the other day to find out what is still missing. It is made of parts I have accumulated...

I'm making aluminum Sand Scorcher race chassis for Team CRP, and was told that I don't need to drill the 4 holes near the side edges of the rear. Neither of us knows what those holes are for, and I'm hesitant to leave them out science they are in...

This one is a lot of fun. Rough Rider with tons of RCH hop-ups, aluminum wheels and lexan body. Really old school, Really HEAVY.

.. Here are the specs/pics. I want honest opinions on what you guys think i should set the ebay reserve for..
It just sits and i don't want to run it due to its value.... Its a rc10 front end and a Hot trick chassis and Frog diff and rear arms. Its...

That will make a lot of people mad, not me though :)

i found a new in box tamiya xr311, tamiya's first off road vehicle, i am pretty positive its the year 2000 remake, and it had a $400 price tag on it, is that typical for this car when it was new? i really want one, and a NIB one would be REALLY...

i found one new, open box, never ran at a hobby shop for $60, what parts are out there for it? aluminum rims? tires? chassis stuff? shocks are big, any suggestions? links? forum threads for sales, etc etc would be awesome!!

OK Tammies, how did I do? What I am looking for is a car that is fun to play with, cheap, and I can still get parts for it. I will clean it up and post more pics when it arrives.

Tamiya #58148 Lola T94/00 Honda (F103-L) Runs and seems very fast. Body paint is flaking off and tires are pretty rough, but the rest seems mint and stock. Any tips for body paint removal?

i need a set of 1.5 fronts (tamiya size) and a set of 2.0-2.1 rears (old associated size) Aluminum Rims, PReferably Matching in style, simple plain would be lovely..

Does JPS Do Tamiya Style Fronts? do they still mail order? Any other help would...

so ive been searching for some different tire styles for a couple different buggies i am making, and CONSTANTLY between internet searches and ebay searches, i keep finding GREAT 1.5 tires from tamiya and crp etc. I have a bunch of different aluminum...

I finally built up my Tamtech 934. It looks great but performance could be a bit better.

Anyone have one of these?

Jim

can any of you guys with a sand scorcher measure the front and rear trackwidths for me? from the outsides of the tires will work just fine.

thanks in advance. :)

How long does registration normally take? I applied for forum registration more than a few days ago, and have yet to hear anything or receive password information.

They aren't completely exclusive to Tamiya nerds, are they?

:?

Hi, any king soul has the specs for Desert Gator body shell? I thought of using it on my gold chassis. Or maybe someone had used it and show a pic over here? I've seen one of the forumer using Sand Viper's body but have not seen the Desert Gator's....

ok this is starting to get really weird. maybe i should get these before they are 399 bucks per sheet.

was just looking for a käfer (beetle) body to build a nice baja bug based on
a shortened rc10, or better a frog. this is what i found on the...

Well, technically my first RC car was a Tyco Turbo Hopper. That thing was blast. Then, my buddy Danny got a Tamiya Grasshopper. I was blown away by the Grasshopper, it was the first real RC car I had ever seen or driven. I had to have one. My dad...

i'm thinking a scale trail/mud rig but it'll most likely become a leafsprung crawler...

This one seems to take forever, so since it just the wife and I today, I found some time this morning to finish it off. Kinda of appropriate, all red mixed with Christmas morning.

It has all the hop ups I could find, full HT chassis kit from front...

I took the previous chassis apart to install my MFU unit then got carried away and decided to slap some of my protoype parts on Junfac braces.

I picked this vintage Hornet at a local auction for $15...It came as front and rear ends but no chassis tub. It came with a few pairs of spare rims and tires too and a cool old pit box. I ordered a re-re tub and had it back in rolling shape....

Here's what I've been working on for the past week and a half. My new Tamiya High Lift F350. It's mostly stock, I added full ball bearings, RC4wd aluminum wheels, Juggster brush guard, a Tamiya Sport Tuned motor and I did some styrene work in the...

Here is the group of Tamiya buggies...They are all vintage, but have mostly been refurbished with new re-re parts...The Brat I used Traxxas spindles to convert the front to a hex drive to mount the TLT wheels. Just had to do a little Dremeling on...

Hey guys, looking for rough value of a Fox. For those that don't know me, I'm a moderator over at Clodtalk. I asked this question there and got no response, hopefully you buggy guys can help. I happened to pick up a Fox at a garage sale a week ago,...

This is my Clod and it makes the High Lift look tiny :lol: , I couldn't afford one of these when they first came out so I promised myself when the right one came along I would grab it. This as with so many other of my cars was an ebay win and at a...

Literally just done the deal on this one :D , these thing are toooooooo expensive but can you be a Tamiya collector without a Vintage 3 Speed :?: It's going to get a repaint and some box art decals but apparently the chassis needs no work at all, I...

I was itching to build a new kit, and had been eyeing the High Lift for a while now. I had also been watching Mountaineers on ebay, but no way I was going to pay $700+ for one that was half way decent. I've owned a Bruiser and a Mountaineer and they...

Hi folks,

With the meager intrest for this japanese aftermarket body for a Tamiya Boomerang, I decided not to wait for Tadracket or Mr. Lexan to start putting out shells.
So here it is: painted and ready to mount.

Now it fits either of the below...

Just to clarify this is the none RC10 and none vintage RC section right :?: , if not I'm ready for a telling :lol:

I haven't picked a paint scheme yet, it's going to be a runner so I think I will stick with white (to hid the scratches when they...

I found the first 3 NIB today.

I'm planning to buy all of them but wanted to check for demand here first.

The kyosho is by far the oldest I believe, the box has a funny line: 'garden off-roader' or gardener off-road' something :)

Anybody knows...

I thought I would show you guys some Tamiya buggies that started the off road craze. The Rough Rider and Sand Scorcher were based off the same chassis affectionately known as the SRB (special racing buggy) chassis. These came out in 1979 and spawned...

I have been trying to identify this chassis. The closest thing I have found is a TA02RS. The problem is that the chassis has RCC Civic stamped on it. The TA02RS was just a chassis kit, so it shouldn't have any specific body type marked on it,...

I know this is probably going to get a bit looked down on but it's one of my favourite none Associated cars. I have a mint box and instructions and they are getting a bit rear in un run condition.

I was lucky enough to get a picture of my runner Rough Rider in R/C Car action magazine

I really dig running this buggy. It's heavy and doesn't handle worth a shit but it makes you appreciate just how far buggy technology has progressed over the...

got a question. i'm planning on picking up a subaru brat re-issue. i always liked those when i was a kid, but never had one.

being as though this is pretty much the same as the frog re-issue, are they the same as the original, gearbox/drivetrain...

anyone have an opinion tamiya stadium blitzer?

i have my eye on one nib and theres something about it.. that i like

Here is the crown jewel of my RC collection. This is an extremely modified Tamiya full option Tiger tank. For those of you into WW2 history, this tank represents one of the German Tigers that fought at Villers-Bocage, one of the most famous tank...

And I was just thinking that Vintage RC10 parts were getting too expensive!!! :shock:

never had one, always wanted one, soon will have one. :D

I got my Tamiya High Lift in today! This thing is pretty sweet! I can't wait to start building her! I need to buy a bearing kit for it first though! Heres a few pics!
