Tamiya Can Am Lola

[Brandon G]

I've had this one for a few years... Bought pretty much as you see it. Assembled, but it had never been run. Radio equipment came with the car, but the servos and receiver needed remounting. The old white servo tape had given up. Servos had the wrong horns on them, had to fix that too. It was missing the battery hold down strap. If anybody out there has one they don't need, let me know! Also missing the front aluminum body mount, but I have one that will work.

Of course it is in the typical condition I keep most of my projects, assembled and in need of paint.

Enjoy.

Was looking at one on ebay earlier today - small world, cool car.

Love the chassis - it's like a 1:10 slot car!

ever take apart the diff? Kinda freggin cool if you ask me. I think these are some of Tamiya's most under-rated cars from BITD.

I had one of these back when I first got back into RC again, back in 2002. Was a really nice piece of engineering, in my mind - especially compared to the other Tamiya RM (Racing Master) that I had owned previously, the RM Mk 5 VW Golf.

Sadly, gone on to greener pastures..... this lives in Hong Kong now, from memory.....

One day I'll get another one....

HI!... Got to TAMIYABASE. They have downloadable manuals for all the 1st 100 Tamiya RC cars.

only once, mainly out of curiosity as maintenance-free as they'd come

that mini potmetal grenade probably makes up half the chassis' weight!

Found a very cool video showing the diff as well as some of the features.

True, but it's still freggin cool!

Not as cool as the infinitely adjustable caster, grubscrews to adjust chassis tweak and...
this blew my kiddy mind in the 1980s... ballbearings for the kingpins

Ours shared a pitbag with an ABC Super Hero X1... which looked hella more OTT designwise
but didn't work as well as RM Mk1,
