Tamiya Toyota Tom's "1985"

HI!... Tamiya Toyota Tom's "1985" This one needs to be restored. It looks like the previous owner installed some kind of after market rear mono shock on it. I'll be on the hunt for a original. It's missing two deck mounts in the middle. I just ordered a vintage NIP body set with decals for it.

Well I got the finishing touches done on the body, including the rear spoiler brace.

Well the new wheels/tires showed up this weekend. Perfect fit and exactly like the originals! :y:

Well I finally got a hold of the rare white hollow rear body posts, aluminum rear shock stay and locking grommet. This one is finally DONE! :woohoo:

102 RC vehicles and counting...

In 1985, Tamiya released a 1/12 scale R/C model of the Toyota Tom’s 84C Group C race car and it enjoyed a great reputation. In recent years, the 1/12 scale class has become a very popular R/C race class once again. To...

I was digging through some old stuff today and pulled this model out,
I hadn't put my hands on this one for several years.

Tamiya Toyota PreRunner
- stock TA-01 chassis
- (unknown brand) aluminum wheels

I remember the original ad for this in RCCA back in 1994. I ended up getting the Chevy S-10 version for Christmas that year. Went through many iterations of hop-ups and now sits on my shelf as a converted Top Force.

I scored a free Toyota Prerunner that's in not too bad of shape. The body is a little rough but will clean up quite well I think. The tires/wheels are wrong but since still available this could turn out well. I'd imagine chassis parts would be easy...

I love those trucks. Not good for the track, but very scale in appearance.

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...

That link isn't to the garden offroad hilux. If that is the car it is rare and Kyoshos first proper off road chassis with 2 speed gearbox and 4wd. The garden off roader is 1/16th scale, 2wd and with no rear suspension

Both types are very rare and...

Hi Guys and Gals,

I've not posted up many pics recently (and all my old ones have been lost - I'm working on restoring them). Anyway, I acquired a lovely Fibre lyte Carbon Tub which I have put on my Worlds car along with Fibre lyte twill weave...
