I may take it apart to investigate further how bad it is. Tub is cracked and missing some bits around screw holes, too large bolts are used to secure the rear suspension. I will try to repair if it's possible. But I need new upper and lower front bulkhead and possible a front bumper. Rear gearbox don't turn feely, don't know yet it it's the dogbones or the gears, bent wheel axles or all above. Yellow parts have a lots of rash on them, think those needs to be replaced as well. So some is saveable, but some parts need to go in the bin. But I will try my best |

Stingray, It indeed seems a bit fragle yes.
Yes, I've allways wanted both the Falcon and the Fox. Fox is my next one. Remember I studied the Tamiya guide books and loved the action shots of both the Falcon and Fox. Yes think I like the suspension too, the front double wishbones do look beefy |

you have all the falcon problems on only one...
The bathtube is easy findable. It is the same as the bear hawk and blitzer. I will see in my mess next week for spares.

Hi all,
Got me this Hi-Lux... I wanted to restore it, but having a closer look at it once it arrived i'll changed my mind. There are too many party missing and the overall condition will require too much investment But anyway, I'm happy to keep it for the spares as I got it for a good price.

Radio box lid with both tabs ( for you Lars Proud owner of the Bruiser Family
