Tomy Intruder EX
Here's my runner Tomy Intruder EX with original hopup carbon chassis and towers and also lightened motor mount + kose red alloy driveshafts.
I love the Tomy cars, the EX is the top of the range 'competition' version of the 3 Intruder models.
I think I have such a love for Tomy cars probably because there's zero chance of any rerelease but also as they are actually really well designed...from a manufacturer better known for baby toys.
I'm rubbish at painting but took my time with the masking tape and rattle cans - also too scared to use my uber rare new in packet EX decal sheet so I scanned it and used my new vinyl cutter to make some templates - all logos on the shell are painted. Oh I also copied the original shell, wing and undertray - what you see here are my own repros, vacuum formed at the local high school - the original are safely in the kit box.
The eagle eyed may notice the front bumper has been cut down - I'll fit a full size one once I can source one (if ever!)
I'm using Yokomo hubs and wheels simply because I use them on my Mid, XLS and RC10 so have more choice. Also more modern Kyosho velvet shocks as I like them
Hope you like it.

Re: Tomy Intruder EX
Cheers guys.
Dan I have a new built EX too which has a full bumper.
Thanks for the info I didn't know the EX bumper was unique to the EX.
