eam Losi Mini 8IGHT Alloy Hex Adapter - 4pcs set - GPM M8010 (M8010)

Use these to use 12mm hex type wheels. Fit stock axles without modification.

I saw that rig on ebay. Tempted on the price but clearly looked like too much work and i think it looked like 2wd only (?).

Ball bearings a must but I would never use loctite around any bearings as even a small amount will risk seizing them. I’d just leave it alone as is - especially as your build will sit on the shelf.

1. Thickest oil as possible in front. I run on high grip. 2. Cvd in front. Tamiya / Yeah racing df-02/df-03 fit 3. Front suspension arm bracket. You can find 3D printed versions. I have a few alloy ones from Full Option (looks for David Beeby on FB). Parma also did a version back in the day. 4. Repl...

That's exactly what happened you Yokomo loverboi.

Nice. The later versions of the Coyote came with metal crown gears.

Survivor!

My view would be to restore and run it.

It could potentially be a lengthy and costly job but given you've a history to go with it, I'd think it would bring back good memories running it again!

However, If you shelf it, leave it as is.

Er..JamieB you are the Tomy guy. The only guy on a relentless mission over the last few years to unearth all matters of Tomy goodness.

Martin, if there is one source you need it's Jamie!
