Tamiya 58050 Wild One Restoration/Customizing 12 years 4 months ago #5395

About some detours, and oddly enough he came into my possession, the search for parts was partly right difficult, but now it can begin.

Of the overwhole condition of is consistently as well to describe, the car is completely, a servo and even the original mechanical speed controllers are installed.

Of course waited many scratches the underbody, and also the body has one or the other scratches/cracks.







Even the most defective or missing driver is present







The Chassie could be further stripped















The cage is (for the time) sensational has been implemented, and seemed very Scalig



See also the shock absorbers as the originals of 1985 from



A look at the details of the front axle



The Chassie would undergo an intensive cleaning, only using detergent and then were still existing adhesive that remains with Spiritus away.



When cleaning was then unfortunately not all to a small crack in the Chassie found. The vitreous was cleaned, and so good it was glued to shock. Since the Chassie else a couple scratches has, i think i need to think about something else here.



The cage was also thoroughly cleaned, also here are of course clear narrowly missing in the plastic had been present



Consequently, it was pre-ground, smoothed over and finally primed



This was followed by three layers gloss black



During the drying of the cage's, were the two aluminum ribs. (the serve to reinforce) polished



In the interplay between the parts, a very smart thing as i think



The dampers were also cut ...



... And of course once again cleaned and polished. Here again the comparison to the left of the "only" purified dampers, to the right of the purified and polished dampers



After the Chassie again was produced/restored it could go further





The holder with their new battery compartment cover were mounted





After the front Damper stay were cleaned and refreshed you were assembled





The front axle has been cleaned, refurbished and somewhat straightened



Also the mounting were cleaned



Once again everything was mounted





The GFK reinforcement of the front axle was cleaned and primed



Then, as well as black painted and assembled





It then continued on the rear axle



Now it was time to mount the cage



The front axle has been further stocked







The first finished dampers could be mounted on the front axle



Then it went to the gearbox



Everything has been disassembled, cleaned and then again with ball bearings and stocked with V2A mounted and screwed







Now it was time again inculcate the transmission



The parts of the power transmission have been purified, with new ball bearings stocked and mounted







The bracket were also revived and mounted





In order to avert the engine the it was something i've been trying, until i wanted a nice brushed motor, am now but because of the optics but with a nice brushless motor landed





All red plastic parts were cleaned







After the cleaning was then wrapped everything in shiny black and after and after mounted on the model, just as the first finished rear dampers









The second shock absorbers of the front axle was ready ...



...And, after the glands were grown reconsindered



In my parts boxes I am still on a new eco II Servo encountered towering above which in the time of the Wild one fits and immediately was mounted







The original front tires were cleaned, refurbished and then click on the new aluminum rims are reared and fitted with ball bearings



The new rear tires were also drawn on aluminum rims



Then, the new rims time sample sit at the model



The first decals were in the assembly of the second rear shock absorber appropriate





The engine was also enhanced by Decal



The new body was as the next in the series



After the cutting and drilling the holes, it is expected to Seat tests



According to the orders of the black Lexan paint was first mounted the roof ...



... Then the Chassie disguise




After the body has now taken place had the chrome sticker affixed were



In the port went there to the manufacture of lamps, the output parts tree was disconnected





The lamp coverings were painted yellow and with the then typical Daxlighter smileys fitted

Then followed the assembly

I can only say this is a great build thread with all the detailed pics. And a fantastic result!
Too bad the accompanying text is only in German.
Not a real problem for me because I can understand but most readers on TB probably won't. :(

Still - one of the slickest builds ever... B)
