I had a little time to get this bad boy cleaned up. Not too bad for "garbage"...

I did replace a few screws that were incorrect as well as installing a new rear shock tower (old one was cracked), and the missing grommet where the wires exit the tub.

I picked this old thing up at a swap meet, does anyone know what exactly these are and what the scoop is?

This thread reminds me of the Fox my younger brother had. After suffering his second Tamiya chassis failure I talked him into ordering the basic Hot Trick Fox kit. I think I had some of their parts on my frog at that point. The HT chassis proved...

Hey guys, looking for rough value of a Fox. For those that don't know me, I'm a moderator over at Clodtalk. I asked this question there and got no response, hopefully you buggy guys can help. I happened to pick up a Fox at a garage sale a week ago,...

The only major damage to the Hilux is a broken steering knuckle. Hopefully those aren't too hard to come by, otherwise I'll have one of the resident machinists make me a set.

Sorry is this has been asked, or wrong place to ask, but looking for a value on a car. I'm not a retro/old car guy, I'm here an hang out in the other forums with my newer builds. But as a nearly 50 yr old guys, I got into RC back in the 80's with a...

I'm with Alex on this one. I wouldn't bother with trying to restore an original Tamiya unless I was willing to spend a fair amount of extra money to replace some plastic that's almost certain to be brittle, damaged and cracked, stripped out, etc....

Looks like the Tamiya Fox is next on the re-re list! :D

Last post

Nice one. My first real r/c was the Fox, and I have a thing for black too. Here it is as it sits today, the same as it was the last day I drove it back in the early 90s. If I get a re-re I'll probably make it a duplicate of this car to run.

I've had my eyes open for a Fox for years, and I finally ran into a good deal I just couldn't turn down. My friend had one when I was a kid and I remember racing against it at a few races in high school. Overall was in great shape, just needed...

does it make a Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding sound? :mrgreen:

It does but the diff in my OG is screwed up. Maybe I shouldn't fix it?

I was thinking that a Fox rere was probably a cold day in he11 chance. Weren't there a couple of Knockoff foxes from Taiwan or something.. The big T never made anything else on that chassis, my theory was that they sold the molds to someone in China...

Hi,

I’m new to the whole RC car thing. I have just managed to prise my Dads Tamiya Fox 1980’s original off him and have been playing with it with my 10 year old son.

A few weeks back we changed the motor as the old one was done, got some new...

Last post

The plastic wheel hubs on the rear of the Fox are prone to cracking, so take off the wheels and check those for starters, but I would suggest the drive shaft hexes are shot, not really a serviceable item though, would have to replace the entire...
