No - the only cracked parts has been the rear arms. Perhaps it hasn´t seen much sun in it´s former life.

Well I finally got around to cracking some bags. I have a fxt parts car but I'm hoping to build this one mostly all from bags.

Very impressed with the diff, it's very smooth and of course the fit and finish are Tamiya quality

Hey guys. Sorry to bring a thread back from the dead, I read in another fxt thread that the dyna blaster body was a fit for this thing and possibly the stadium blitzer. Does anyone know if the wheelbase on the fxt is the same as the blitzer or did...

Ever since I was a kid I wanted one of these. My older brother got one for Xmas back in 86 or 87 & I was in awe at the time. Maybe because he wasn't into RC cars as I was or maybe because it was just so cool & complex at the time...I don't know?

Thanks man, they're my favorite as well. Over engineered, quirky little cars that have no equals going forward through time. I don't think they'll ever re-release them but who knows? I have over a hundred rc cars most newer kits but something about...

G'day guys

Finally got around to running my updated 959. TBG shell, repro decals & Tamiya white wheels are far nicer than the standard yellow ones.

I really like it.

Hoping someone who follows the Tamiya market can give some advice.

I picked up a Porsche 959 from a mate about 12 years ago for £20, complete with VGC Technigold, period Acoms radio gear + Tamiya SC1200 battery. Car had seen little use but the...
