Got me a FALCON!

[THE H.P FREAK]

HI!... Got this Tamiya FALCON for dirt cheap off of ebay. I'm going to restore this one as well to original condition. I pulled the body off and got a bonus. Full Novak Receiver and ESC inside with a vintage battery.

Excellent score - I have a soft-spot for the Falcon, it was the first R/C car I ever took to a race track (Frog was my first hobby-grade...).
Anyhow, I have several Falcon's, good luck with this one!

[THE H.P FREAK]

HI!... Well some parts came in for the "FALCON" today. Just waiting on my NIP wheels.tires to show up from Spain!

I have a Falcon sitting on the shelf waiting to be restored. Just need the wheels.

[THE H.P FREAK]

HI!... Ya the wheels/tires are the hardest to find. I found a set of fronts with tires NIP. They should be here anyday. They were found in Spain. The rear wheels I found in Japan.

[THE H.P FREAK]

HI!... Well I got the body all painted up and the decals on.

[THE H.P FREAK]

HI!... Well got the "FALCON" put together tonight. I rebuilt the gearbox and installed all new sealed bearings. Most of it is new. chassis, gear box cases, rear trailing arms, upper/lower front "A" arms, bumper. Still waiting on the new rear/front wheels/tires to show up. Then the rebirth will be complete.
