Restored and refurbished Vintage chassis and hard ABS Re-Release Body Its nicely finished & in good condition. Please study the pictures as these form part of the description/condition. This Vintage Tamiya Truck from the 1980’s has been stripped down, cleaned, sprayed up & put back together again into what you see here. Everything on the chassis works & all any bits etc have been changed for good ones. The moving parts all have a little silicone grease on so as not to drip on a shelf, so for serious running it may need a decent oil up! This one came about because I had most of a vintage chassis but I could only find a re-release body so apologies to all the purists out there! But its still a nice truck & all genuine Tamiya regardless!! The Chassis to this one is in quite good condition, just some light wear marks on the battery/ battery tray lugs, a bit of wear on the gearbox bottom. All the screws are bright and shiny, it has a vintage Mabuchi 540 fitted at the time of photographing it had a blackfoot gear system but this has now been changed over to Frog Diff & gear system. Its also been converted for the’Frog type’ direct servo saver connection to the servo rather than the original Brat connectors which really gave the steering a lot of play! Its had a new set of metal diff gears and new c. The step screws are re-release and the rear shocks are Frog Dampers. The front bumper has wear marks on the bottom of it. It has been rigged up with a 3 terminal Msc and 2 x FP S148 vintage Futaba Servos, a FP-R102GR Reciever and a Futaba Attack R Transmitter, all 27mhz set up and running the truck very well. It has a BEC mod, so it means the 7.2V battery also runs the reciever power and you don’t need to put 4 xAA batteries in the car. The body to this is a freshly re-finished re-release, which was stripped back to plastic and re-finished. It has been finished with MCI racing decals (Vintage ones). The only thing that does mark it down is that there is a small crack in the windscreen, only really visible in certain light/angle etc. And the roof glass piece has a couple of marks which don’t polish out , so i re-finished it with a bit of TS Smoke, but again these do show from certain angles, so a ne re-re glass set would be ideal if you want it to be mint. The wheels and tyres to this one are a new re-release set which smarten it up nicely! All in all a really nice piece of Tamiya history, and a must for any collection! Finished to a nice standard, (please check my feedback). Which would look great on a shelf! Alternatively with summer here, what better way to kick up some dust!! Costs-wise its up for sale for what it owes me & relative condition. Because the chassis is very nice vintage and the body is re-re on this one I would be willing to split, please get in touch for relative costs if you want one but not the other etc!
