Popular Post Ag100 Posted June 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2022 A Tamiya Lunchbox, put a bid in on eBay and won it, never had one, and think the kids will enjoy it, there is just something about these, had Grasshoppers and hornets in the 80s but never one of these. Seems to have all the essential upgrades already,fully Ballraced (haven stripped the gearbox, but they are on the rear axle), fifth shock, metal body mounts and look to be oil filled dampers (don’t know if these were standard and also has a Parma Lexan body. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper7ftxoutlaw Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I got my delivery from Modelsport! It includes: a new chassis, new diff case, some thread lock and a rear driveshaft. It still ran but could’ve really done with an overhaul and as the parts came to under £20 including MS shipping, I didn’t really see why not! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont thi k standard esc supports lipo Good question, I’m not sure, but I have a spare Hobbywing 10bl60, so will put that in instead. The Tamiya one does power up and run, can’t get it to reverse though, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post danny boy Posted June 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2022 This (although it actually arrived 2 days ago). It's a bit scruffy, but will be perfect for my needs. I've already started stripping it down and cleaning. It will be rebuilt with a lot of RC10B3 parts and upgrades. I'm planning on running this in the vintage category at the local buggy club so will have to be put to a fairly old school standard. The fantastic thing about the Thunder tiger Phoenix was that it's an exact re-release of the original RC10B3, but the mouldings were re-tooled with metric hardware instead of the original imperial. In every other way it is the same car and will use the same parts. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
