TOPIC:

Recently acquired this unit from the original owner/builder.
Has a few missing screws and pieces but otherwise in pretty good shape.
I will probably disassemble and go through the mechanics but will not touch the cosmetics as I plan to run it.
Any ideas on what I should look at, weak links etc.
I will need to source a switch cover and new hub cover, may just get that 3D printed locally.

Hi, nice looking Toyota Hilux.
The switch cover is the same one from the Sand Scorcher, Rough Rider so easy to pick up because of the re-release.
The hub covers come up on eBay.
If your not looking for a perfect one drop me a line. I think I’ve got some spares.

Wow really nice car.
If you plan to run it, the best source for the hub covers is E-bay.

The mechanics will withstand the use as long as you don't make big jumps with it.

Just enjoy it

That's looking really good

One of those Tamiya models I have not been privilege to own yet.
