Note the font, colours & packaging design on this Taiwanese knock-off ... "interestingly" it's no cheaper than the genuine Tamiya item

Vintage Fox prices really took a hammering from the "Nova Fox" re-release - this one is up at 60 GBP + 12 GBP post BIN & looks pretty good - I'd have thought that should have been snapped up

Are you sure you didn't mean to put that in the "look at the state of that" thread?
![]() It looks restorable at first, then you quickly start noticing the horrors - perished Scorcher tyres, the missing bumper & block, the fact it must have had a front end smash & the bodged up "replacement" front bulkhead & suspension "pipe clamp", the missing gearbox parts ... and then the body, and it gets worse - the poorly repaired break, the painted windows, and, worst of all, the badly hacked about wheel arches. TBH I think it's at it's money already, and I hope the winner plans to break it for spares & give the body a Viking burial. Maybe we should send ASCII art flowers via "ask seller a question" ? ![]() |

Actually those are not SS tyres - they are from an AYK 566B Super Trail and are quite rare. They are perished though... And check out how square the front axle to the chassis isn't. ![]()

Yes, I can see the difference now - the paddles very obviously extend a lot further onto the sidewall ![]() Does the rareness trump the wrongness though ? ![]() |

Your points are exceedingly valid, but look at all those parts for the picking ![]() If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem mate

Yeah, but 80 GBPs worth? When the problem areas on the chassis are all the usual suspects? ![]() ![]() |
