Is this a yearly event? Looking for a vintage meet in so cal.

This is my (almost complete) refurbished Tamiya King Cab.  I didn't take pictures during the process so only end shots. I started with 3 King Cab/Monster Racer chassis. The intent was to combine all 3 into the best King Cab I could make because I had the proper rims then assess what was left to bui...

I just picked one up as well but the frame is kinda beat. The area where the rear body posts mount is cracking near the chassis so Im gonna fab up some support so I can get it built up. Did you find another body for yours? If so can ya tell me where you sourced it? Hey Rider400, while we're waiting...

Anyone know if there was an upgrade frame for the King Cab?

Killer truck. That frame is so cool.

I picked up some old Tamiya stuff and cant seem to get the Tx hooking up with the Rx. Have tried a few variations. The one common is the same set of crystals.

Super old thread, but this is step one in a Blackfoot build (which would be step one in ANY tamiya build): blackfoot build 1.jpg Yup lesson learned last week. Built my first RC in quite awhile (Pumpkin Lowride) and what a disaster that was without laying it all out and labeling it. Next time around...

Anyone know what buggy this came on?

They do look like the Radio Shack truck I had as a kid. Took like 9 D batteries or ss.

That looks like a fun truck. Dig that body.

I know there are delays and backorders on pretty much everything these days but wondering if there is any news on something upcoming as far as Tamiya 80s reissues? Kinda bummed I missed the black Beetle reissue but Im not paying $500 for one either.

Nice truck Im looking to rebuild one here myself.
