Is it painted? It almost looks like someone butchered the lower part of the radio box and grafted it onto the lower chassis. I'm at a loss...

Looks good so far. I love the red you used but I would have skipped the Carbon fiber sticker. once the rest of the decals go on you won't notice the cabon fiber sides as much. I figured it would be easier to remove the vinyle then to paint over and...

Rough Rider Restore

by Bubbleboy » Tue Oct 27, 2015 3:41 am » in Tamiya Forum

First post

Found this beauty MK1 Rough Rider in Calgary and decided this would be a good way to ease back into RC. It was used, albeit gently, the front suspension shafts were bent on one side. My goal is to restore this to box art specs using vintage parts,...

Last post

Thanks Mike. I thought then pins may have come pre-installed and were slid into the connector. Time to hack away!
The pins are slid into the connector. Take a jeweler's flat-head screwdriver or a long pin or something, and look inside the connector...

Rough Rider Information

by Horace73 » Sun Jul 17, 2022 7:57 pm » in Tamiya Forum

First post

I got a Rough Rider back when I was a kid. Not really sure what age I was though. I would have to say maybe early 80’s. Did they make a reproduction of this model? If so how can you tell which one you have? Thanks for any help!!

Last post

That's pretty complete from a restoration point of view , looks like your guess of early 80s is good , it's not the very earliest production parts from what I can see but it looks like you only really short of wheels ,tires and a body .

I plan on a cleanup-light restore, shock rebuild, rubber parts etc...and finding an appropriate body.
