TOPIC:

The monster quest continues, collected some stuff over the last couple of months.

Universals


Original decals $$$


TBG shell (well actually two, the first got squashed by the mailman bt managed to save it by heating and pushing back where it was dented)


started cleanup and rebuilding last week.

All set and go


Shuffling thru the spares


Front cleaned and back together, minor scrathes and wear, looks almost new


Avante steering hopup as mentioned in the manual, thanks for Egress rere the BB steerings is available again, made the metal parts on my mini lathe.


Tight fit, but way less sloppy


most of the front assembled


Not period but better


Fitted, had to swap the servosaver

continuing with the rear

small holes for optional rear stabilizer?


Mmmm sports tuned and a 16T steel RRP pinion (gearcover has a small crack at the spurgear screw)


Buggers, now where to find a replacement for that. Think that calls for future DIY


Ball diff is in good shape, have two of those with some spares


have to read up on TC there were some tips on improving the ball diff, its apparently a bit weak for monster wheels.

Future decision originals or hopups




Thinking of replacing these with the alloy Avante/Egress parts


thats all folks, more to come, maybe this year

Tamico saves the day.

and delivers

Gearbox got fixed and replaced,

next up




need the metalparts


well got a lathe now so will copy the TF evo BM4 one piece bits

Work done






getting there

Will you be doing the lettering on the tyres? I do like seeing them done

Mmm yeah, my white tip marker is dead, need to get a new one.

Hello, nice job on the restoration. I have an original Toyota Hilux racer also. Was wondering if you could tell me where you found the spare diff parts?
I am having a problem with the diff slipping since i upgraded to a Li-Po battery and ESC. Now that there is so much more torque of the start. It seems
that i have to rebuild or upgrade the diff too. Any suggestions?
