Tamiya Resto - But what is it?

Post by **mrlexan** » Fri Oct 16, 2009 9:47 pm

With three days left on my vacation and after finally feeling close to 100% after having the flu (not swine) during my vacation I decided to just start opening boxes and not closing them til the projects inside are done. Sorry Scr8p, no 10s yet. This was the second of the day today that was completed.

I have to say that this is one of the coolest classis restorations I have done, starting with the pic and a few other cool things about the chassis. The only new parts are wheels/tires, chassis and front bumper. Everything else is all original.

Any guesses?

Looks like the Diff. assembly for the Can Am Lola or the Datsun 280zx . You had two options with those kits. Differential or direct drive.

Well if he's got the Can Am Lola I wish he'd show it. That's probably something he'd have.

We are leaving in a few for my wife to go run a 5K and I will show some pics when I get back.

Tease!

How rude.... still no more pictures of the 280ZX/Lola that this "limited slip differential" (according to the Tamiya promo at the time) fits into..... what a disgrace!

Seriously though, the Racing Master Mk1 (and, to a lesser extent, the RM MK2) chassis' are some of my favourite vintage Tamiya stuff.... you can keep your SRBs and stuff, I'll take one of these any day! Such an over-engineered chassis..... and so many options, right out of the box!

I have a picture somewhere of my old RM MK1, during it's rebuild - all parts spread out in true Mr Tamiya display fashion. Such a great photo, should try and find it again.....
