That's awesome! Not your usual Tamiya offering....

It appears to have some Schumacher-ey bits as well (ball cups, rear tower support).

I'm in the UK, what else are we going to use for generic part but Schumacher. Most big bores fitted to vintage racers are Schumacher, because for us they rae cheaper than anything else and spares are plentiful. I'm planning on fitting a set of Tamiya big bores on it to try and ad more brand loyalty, although the actual cars raced by Jamie Booth and Craig Drescher are fitted with Associated big bores.

Not a Tamiya person at all...but damn- that's a serous vintage racee

Thanks, it's a modern replica of the original Manta Ray that had a lot of hand made parts that Tamiya Japan built for Jamie Booth to race, that he used to win the UK off road nationals in 1991. There's more information about these cars from Lee Broadhurst here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUf1l12g1wA&t=1195s&ab_channel=RCMisfits

I have a weakness for orange can, square label Race Prep mod motors. Especially when its going for a cheap price.

"Iridum" RC12LS chassis. Honestly I didn't really want it, and I thought for sure I would get out bid.

Very cool! I have an orange can race prep with the same endbell also but the sticker has delaminated from heavy bitd usage.

Dang Phin, nice score. It's almost like it was meant for you to do an rc12 build now, event if you didn't want to lol!

Some JC XX front arms....I've repeatedly tested the XX platforms durability, and these are the next step. Oddly, they only sent right side arms however

This brand new, early JRX no logo beauty.

Got some rere universals after I got a refund for the busted MIPs. Hopefully these are more durable.

[R6cowboy]

Score

A used but very clean D2. I plan to use it on a vintage runner.
