A piece ‘a Me

I got my newly acquired Tamiya King Cab stripped down pretty much to component parts tonight. It’s sat next to me in about 6 ice-cream boxes at the moment.

I also cleaned out my bro’s old RC toolbox and washed it out (was full of dust and crap). I found a couple of cool bits and pieces in there. No King Cab spares though :(. Looks like I’ll be hitting eBay and spare dealers in stages over the next few months to renew what I need. I might also have a go at fabricating some parts myself in metal for it. The stock parts are pretty tough and are surprisingly undamaged, but metal looks cooler and is less cumbersome, so could be good. We’ll see
I’d post a photo but it wasn’t worthy before I stripped it, and now all there is to look at is a lot of jumbled parts in boxes. I *will* photograph it as I start to rebuild it though!

All good so far, as long as I can get a usable electric set out of the bits I’ve got I ought to have it going again pretty soon. Watch this space!
