Yes very tidy :)
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem mate :)

Nice resto!
And I love the unique dampers on the Fox. As far as I know, they are one-off from Tamiya.

Wonderful topic!

I just signed up on the forum so I could follow the progress on your Fox restoration.
I dug my old Fox out of the garage yesterday and think I will do the same thing.

You have inspired me!
