HI!... I just picked up this Striker NIB off of Ebay. I'll start building it soon. :woohoo:

Well I couldn't sleep last night, so at about 4A.M I started working on my NIB Striker. I got all the parts cut off the sprue's and all deburred. Then I got all the tires mounted on the wheels. Then I put together the rear gearbox. Everything has full ball bearings. I'm at a stand still right now until the body finishes drying. I sprayed the 1st coat of TESTOR's high gloss brite white on it just a little bit ago. Got to wait for it to dry and spray a 2nd coat and let it sit for a day or two.

Well I got 2 good coats of white on the Striker today. Going to let it sit near a heating vent overnight to help totally cu8re the paint. Hopefully I will get to start building it tomorrow.

Well i got the Striker all done today. Turned out pretty good, I think. This one is now 100% done! Here's a few pics :

Here's another one of my many projects, this one I picked up in New Jersey along with a Traxxas hawk 2 and rad 2. I called it Overkill cause I'll end up doing more to this car than it should be done to it. I started by buying Thorp Dirt Burners...

This is the one I'm running, I have it on my Monster Beetle, without the little extenders and they work great, you would need he extension if running the shorter axle.

They can look really nice, but don't get too excited about it being a runner :D

The pogos in front are, well, pogos. Driving within the limits of the car is fun though, especially if you get a few together and try to race. ;)

I just finished restoring my brothers old Futaba FX10, which as I understand it is mechanically a clone of the Tamiya Striker. The guy at the hobby shop said I was being stupid to try to get it running and all the plastic would be brittle, it would...

I bought this sleigh some years ago, it came with unoriginal front suspension arms which did´nt fit that well. Allmost zero travel, it´s a TC I know, but still I would like to have at least 1/2 of travel.

I dug into the odd parts box and found a...

Thanks Terry - You´re a dictionary 8)

My tires are for asphalt use, not slicks, so I´ll try to find 2 pairs of those T27 You mentioned.

I was just browsing Ebay and i came across a Tamiya Striker that was listed at £550 so i thought i'd have a look expecting to find something with some nice period Mod parts , maybe one of the rare Tamiya Mod motors or a Thorp diff or something but...

Last post

I think the Striker is interesting looking RC , and would like to find a clean used one .. but not at the prices asked now. :roll:

The same seems to be happening with Falcon prices - through the roof.
