This is my (almost complete) refurbished Tamiya King Cab. I didn't take pictures during the process so only end shots.
I started with 3 King Cab/Monster Racer chassis. The intent was to combine all 3 into the best King Cab I could make because I had the proper rims then assess what was left to build a Monster Racer.
I started by stripping down and cleaning all the parts and putting the best ones aside. I then reassembled the remaining pieces into 2 sliders. I have a set of pink rims from a Bush Devil I may put on the second slider in the meantime. It is mostly complete, small chip in the chassis tray, a crack in the small tab on the transmission plate and it is missing the gear cover, dog bones and outdrives.
The King Cab is complete with manual esc and silver can motor. I do need a new gear cover as one of the screw tabs snapped off. I am also missing the plastic spacers in one of the shocks. As you can see I have Losi ribbed tires on the front. I think I have the original set but I have to look. I polished the outdrives and dog bones and must say they do look nice!
The first 2 trucks went together great but the last one beat me up. I don't know what happened but everytime I turned around I had to disassemble another section because I couldn't reach a lock nut. I must have taken the battery tray off 15 times. Anyway I am not so sure I want to make that Monster Racer any more lol.
Once I find the front tires I just need to paint up a new shell and find a nice spot for it to rest.
