TOPIC:

Hi I only joined today after cleaning out my garage and finding all my old R/C cars. I have a original Tamiya Rough Ryder with alot of extra go fast bits (Aliminuim wheels, twin shock kit,universal drive shafts and metal gears from memory plus ball raced), Also have a Tamiya Ford F150 Ranger Xlt in stock form and a Tamiya JPS Lotus 79 plus a Mugen Bulldog. Thats all for my electric cars.

I also have 3 Kysho pure 10 spider nitro cars.

I havent used any of these for over ten years.

Regards

Greg

Welcome Greg.

Must be great to find these cool cars. Don't worry - they'll be running in no time.
Chances are that if you try to restore them, you'll be sold to this brilliant hobby once again...
Hope you'll post some pics.

Thanks for the welcome, I do have one more car I forgot to add its a 1/8th Nitro car called Mustang produced by PB Racing Products, I also have a unpainted Mk1 Escort Shell to suit.

I have never ran this car as its not built yet, its also been in storage for more then 10 years, lol

Sounds like a nice project.
Nitro's cool but I do like an electrical setup - less complicated, durable and better on the ears.

Welcome to TamiyaBase, Greg.
Your Rough Rider sounds very interesting with the hop ups, so we "demand" a picture
Take good care of the XLT, as it's not been reissued yet as a body set, and has turned out to be the most desirable vintage SRB, in my mind.
