One curiosity: the uprights are fixed on the upright axle by a setting screw. (one note : I don't put grease on parts that are exposed to dirt as it tend to capture the dirt, so no grease here (if needed I'll spray some PTFE dry lube on the axle).

The blue and the neon yellow work together quite nicely.

So I have been eyeing a certain Tamiya re-release since about a year now, while also nervously observing the continued availability of Kyosho reissues (Tomahawk and Javelin mostly...don't need Optima Mids and there isn't a Lazer reissue yet) and their high prices. The Tamiya in question is nothing s...

Because I was told to do so lol I'm going to put that nice looking graphite back together after I tear it down and clean it up. Here is a before pic 20220713_113722.jpg 20220713_141716.jpg Will you be replacing the body by something more period-correct? Wait, no , that's the B6. Please don't put a ...

The top of that chassis looks more worn than the bottom

And that front wheel mounting method Can't imagine that those wheels turned very smoothly and true.

Anyway, I'll be following this.

The plug looks like 1980s Robbe/Futaba. IIRC, Robbe (like other European manufacturers) often renamed imported products sold under their own name.
