I was in Toronto today and decided to visit a couple of hobby shops. I couldn't resist it when I held the box in my hands

I was so stoked to get it home, I forgot to look at the hop-ups for it!
I'm thinking upgrading the suspension at a minimum, any advice?

I was just curious. There is a place called Advanced hobbies which is a mostly Tamiya store in Scarborough.

I have a restored Team Truck but the chassis is painted. I might cannibalize this to get a new Team truck put together. We shall see if I can stand tearing it open or not.

Good deal but I wonder if the plastic is black????
White, and there is a way to tell. 8)
That box is from 1992 (Tony Nesinger won AE their 11 world title in 92') the black plastic armed kits were late 93, all black from 94 ish to 96-

Yep I saw that and the first thing I thought was why did you build it just to sell it? Should have left it NIB imo.
