Old School Style

Here's a project I recently finished. Tamiya Fox in box stock form, with the exception of a Tamiya ESC with Deans plugs. I love this car, it is a blast to run.

Cool picture! Those old Tamiya buggies definitely look cool.

By the way, how do you highlight the lettering on the tires? I always wondered how guys did it. Cool car!

Thanks man. I use testors model enamel for the tire lettering, and either a very fine brush or a toothpick to apply the paint inside each letter. It's not difficult, it just requires some patience.

Nice fox where did you get the gold rims? and will they fit on a rc10 buggy?

[fastmax]

Thanks. They are the stock wheels that came with these kits. CRP made adapters for mounting these wheels on the original RC10. They can be purchased here. http://cgi.ebay.com/WHEEL-ADAPTERS-Vntage-RC-Tamiya-Fox-to-RC10-CRP-4120_W0QQitemZ250201569056QQihZ015QQcategoryZ34063 QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem and the wheels come up on ebay quite often just do a search for Fox wheels.

Nice man. I'm a sucker for flames, and you gotta love that extre realism Tamiya packs in.

I have an old tamiya buggy I need to fix up. I think it was a Hornet or something like that. I will have to post a pic of it someday.
